Nelson is the Hero.
Montreal, Feb. John n. Nelson of
Minnesota, skating under the coiors of the
Victoria Hockey club of Winnepeg, is
the hero of the hour tonight as, thanks
to his p1ucky racing, two worlds records
were broken this afternoon at the cham
nionship skating meeting of the Amateur
Skating Association of America. The re-
suit is that Teneyck says he intends to
take him TO Europe with Johnson. Nelson
states that he will not go unless his ex-
penSeS are given him cash down before
hand. Seven thousand people, half OF
them ladies. watched the races from be-
ginning to end.
Johnson appeared in only three events
part of the 30 race and in the one mile
and the five mile. He won the last two.
His fast time was due to his being forced
to his utmost by Nelson. The excuse
given by Johnson for not skating oftener
was that his skates were too slippery.
The two races in which the worlds records
were broken We're the three mile and the
one mile. In the three mile only David
The man from Minneapolis set the pace
in both events, winning the former and
being only headed by Johnson at the finish
Of the mile. His time for the three miles,
S:iS 2-5, knocks If 3-5 seconds off the best
previous record for the distance.
Johnson's mile in PAP As is 15h seconds
faster than anything on record. In the
five mile, Nelson again forced the pace.
He fell, but recovered himself and finished
a plucky second, only a head and half
behind Johnson.
The weather was cold but bright. The
track could not have been better. Sum-
maries:
Two hundred and twenty yards: First
