END Of CENTURY RECORDS
OUR SPORTING EDITOR SAYS THAT THE UNITED STATES HOLDS THE
GREAT MAJORITY IN l. SPORTS AND PREDICTS THAT
Il WILL X EEP THEM.

Another record that stood supreme for
more than thirty years was Kettledrum's
1:45 for the Derby course in 1861. In
1870 perslmmon beat it by the narrow
margin of one second.
NO man has yet succeeded in surpass-
ing q. Stewards wonderful achievement
Or 200 yards in 0:19 1-2. which was made
more than half a century ago, and West
halls record of OILS for $50 yards has
never been eoualled by a professional
ana only twice by amateurs. Thirty-Six
years two great records were made,
Lang ran two miles in OIL - and White
i've miles in 24:40. neither of which have
ever been rivaled.
Among other running records that still
survive after more than a quarter of a
century of contests, are Nutthall's 600
yards in lib; Richards three-quarters
Of a mile in 3:07: Hewitt's half mile in
1885 l.: Walsh's 500 yards in 100 "a:
and Buttery's quarter of a mile in GAS
IL. In the case of the last two records
they have been recently beaten by anna
teurs but never by professionals. More
han eighteen years ago Myers made his
record OF 1000 yeards in 2:13. In 1882
Phillips covered 120 yards in OIL As.
a similar condition of affairs exists in
regard to records for walking. There
are nine professional records that have
survived more thar fifteen years. Per

yet equalled Gritlith's twenty-mile walk
IN 2:4I.o2, which was made in 1870 or Sin
clair's fifty miles in S:25:25 IL. made in
1879.
1t would be possible to so on almost in
definitely calling attention to great
achievements performed by athletes Who
won their laurels before the present gen
Grafton OF contestants We're born and yet
there are brances Of sport in which new
records are made With surprising fire.
quercy while in these the records that
stood as amazing achievements a half a
century ago look small indeed as COM
pared with those Of this day. In fact
II we place one sport against another we
will find that there are better athletes
to-day than there We're a generation or
two ago, and that while there We're men
who surpassed in some particulars In
other aspects the history Of athletics
has been q long triumph of great achieve
1nents.
For instance there is K~raenzlein, who
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-09-23

still holds the worlds record for the long
jump. Several months ago it was an
nounced that Newburn, the Irish jumper
had beaten the record by an achievement
at Mullingar but as the performance
was rejected by the Irish Athletic asso-
cation on the ground that it had been
on a down grade Newburn's record re-
manned at "a feet one-half inch. which
left kraenzlein's performance of "a feet
4 1-2 inches undisputed as a world rec
ord.
There is probably no better all, round
thlet in this world to-day than this
man kraenzlein. He holds a good ~lf
dozen of the worlds records and his. work
on the clnder path is just as good as that
IN held sports so that he has come to be
regarded as the most marvellous athletic
phenomenon that has ever competed in
pubic. When the cable announced that
NeWburn had beaten his long jump rec
ora by fully two inches there was woe in
tne heart or every American lover of ath-
letics but now that the Britisher's per-
1ofmance has been explained we can I'M
derstand just how it was accomplished
ana we rest secure in the faith that
k%raenzlein will yet be able to keep the
laurels upon this side of the big pond
The worlds record for throwing the
hammer also rests secure on this side
providing Flanagan does not losef%his
strength. A few months ago it locked
as if his standing record might be TOUGH
GU ny Nlley IN ireland SO the AmeHlfan
hroWerW went into practice and last July.
at the st. Augustine athletic gama4 in
Boston he surpassed his oWn previous
achievements and made the world'S rec
ord secure by making a throw of 164 feet
| inch. several feet further thar any of
his previous performances.
The performance of I. X. Baxter. Of the
New York Athletic club is another bright
attainment that will offset many a fail
ure. AS a high jumper he is a wonder
and he has already broken the worlds
indoor record by his jump Of 6 feet 8 IL
inches. As he is till 4 very young man.
however. and as, like Kraenzlein. he has
never abused himself there is q promise
that his performances in the future will
reflect even more credit upOn American
athletic methods.
10 ennmerate all the worlds records
that remain in this country would be
nothing more thai i tedioHs combination
Of names and figures. The important
point is. are we to be able to keep them?
For years past many Of the brightest
athletic work has been lone in colleges
where class j~ealousies have inspired men
to performances thai would be undream-
ed OF in ordinary amateur athletic ranks.
As the result we have come to look to
these educational institutions for our
great stars and when they fail us. as 50
many did this year in SO. many instances
things do not look bright for the future
OF the track and field sports. Yale's un-
broken series of defeats, for instance was
most discouraging and as the work at
other colleges was not much above the
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-09-23

standard set in previous years It was
feared that it would be difficult to get
the athletes out of the trance into which
they seemed to ave fallen. In spite of
this feeling, however, II may be said that
the outlook is brighter than was antici-
pated. Yale has adopted new methods
and other colleges have made changes
that promise much improvement in the
future. The trainers also feel that
their regulations are at stake and that
if anything is to be done it must be lone
at once. AS the result attention is be-
ms given to matters to-day that were
neglected before and men are training
now for sports for which they ordinarily
went into training in the spring. What
the outcome will be time alone can tell
but the efforts that are now being made
give us an excuse to hope that the sum
lner of 1900 will see more worlds rec
ords broken than the summer of 1899.

The year 1899 has ben an important n
In athletic sports. 1t is true that the
American delegation to England did not
come up to the expectation of their
friends in the winning of college games
but at the same time enough records
have been broken by Yankee athletes to
make up to some extent for the disap-
pointments caused by the poor showing
made by the American university team
on the other side. In addition to this
there is a crumb of comfort that may be
derived from the fact hat athletic man
ayers all over the country seem to have
taken our defeats this year to heart.
They are surprised that we have made
such a poor showing in our own games.
not to mention those which We're played
abroad and they are making every eff
fort to better the standing of the men
under them. This fact is particularly
true in respect of Yale while the methods
adopted by trainers at nearly every coll
lege of note show that they have discov-
cred the cause of the failure and are
preparing to remedy the defect as soon
as possible. As the result it is not too
optimistic to look on the bright side of
the matter and to feel that the future
has comfort in store for us and that the
year that is coming will develop men who
will prove their claim to the laurels tina

Those who are interested in out of door
sports often ask if it is true that our
athletes are showing such great improve
1nent over those of the old days. This
is. of course. partly a matter of opinion
In some respects We are constantly i'm
proving. New records are being made
every year and old worlds records are
being broken II yet there are some
achievements that it does not seem pos
sible to equal. Among these feats there
are a few that were made years and
years age. In cycling and swimming
and jumping new records are made each
Year to be suDplanted within another
twelve months but there are fields of
sports in which the achievements of our
~forefathers promise to outlast the CEN
tury.

An Evidence of Prosperity.

1t Is generally conceded BY economists.
who study the commercial situation OF the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication Of its condition.
A depression IN commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella-
ton OF pleasure travel, while healthy con-
Cition OF affairs means business trips and an
increase OF passengers on pleasure bent.
\ good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the

MONEY AND TRADE.
The Price Of I.n bOr and All Com M o d.
ties Under Control Of the
Capitalists.

What is involved in the control OF
the money Of a country? What power
does the possessor Of that right WELD:
James A. Garfield simply reduced TO
an axiom a well-known principle OF
economics when he said Whoever
has control Of the money OF a coun-
try has absolute control of its trade
and commerce" So that the question
of free silver and the issue of green
backs involves the control Of the trade
and commerce Of the country, does it?
Do YOU know of any reform which
would benefit The 75.O0o.OOO Ameri-
cans so much as would the taking OF
the control Of their trade and com
merce ont OF the hands Of the Roths-
chiids citizens of alien and compete
tive nations. and placing il in iheii
own hands? But in controlling the
money how can. they control the trade
and commerce? Simply by making
money plenty. or by making il scarce.
They can issue $50 per capita, and in
augurate boom and an era of wild
speculation. and can suddenly contract
il to ST. and bankrupt hundreds OF
thousands. We had an illustration oil
that once We had $50 per capita at
the close OF 1867. and we had Sl1 per
capita when 1873 was ushered in. The
government did ii then. for the gov
eminent then had control of the money.
But the government did IL all at the
dictation of the men who are now ask
ing us to give them the same power the
government then had. Whoever con-
trolls the amount Of money in circula-
ton can fix the price Of labor, and
every product Of labor: for the price
of labor. as well as of all commodities
is determined by the amount of money
there is TO exchange for il. III there

tend this principle TO as many articles
and as much money as you may and il
