riding g miles within the hour His performance
Saturday beats Stocks record. which was 90
miles and AS yards. Michael broke all worlds
Ords above eleven miles. Michael may make n
other effort this week, TO further lower the mile
record. His friends believe that with proper pac-
Ing he Will BE- able TO rice the mile in l:Gi.
