The news cabed to THE Sun yesterday that
Harry Watkins. the English long distance pro-
fessional runner. had on Saturday broken the
record for the one-hour run. held by f. T..
Bacon. by forty-three yards, came as a sur
prise to those who have not studied closely
the form OF the leading runners on the other
side. Watkins was always in the front rank OF
England's runners. and before his disqualif-
cation from the anna eur ranks in 1896 showed
prominently in cham ponship contests.
He was tho training companion OF Bacon
when no established new figures for the hour
In 1897, and since then has had the idea that
he could lower the old champions record.
The attempt aroused great interest In Eng
lish sporting circles, especially as Watkins had
announced his intention to retire from thu
path. He has been training for weeks. and
two weeks ago ran a fine mile trial on the
Rochdale grounds, In which he got we'll inside
