CLIFFS MILE RUN MARK.
SHEPPARD,S FAST TINE.
Yale Relay Team Beats Dartmouth,
and Columbia Trims Penn.

NJ Sheppard. OF the Irish American Athletic
Club, made new worlds record of minutes
PSI seconds for the indoor mile run at the
athletic meet held last night at Madison Square
Garden under the auspices of the Columbia
University Track Athletic Association The
race i'm which the record was broken was for
the Amateur Athletic Union championship and
the custodlanship Of the Hotel Martinique Cup.
The former indoor record for the one mile run
was 4 minutes 26 seconds, which was made eight
years ago by A. J. Walsh, of the Xavier Athletic
Club. All three places in the championship went
to the Irish Americans, as J. ?. Sullivan finished
second and G. Y. Bonhag third. Sheppard led
nearly from start 10 finish, but was hard pushed
throughout by Sullivan. The winner also led at
the half in the fast time OF minutes 10 seconds
The games were excellentIy conducted. al
( though rather too many events were crowded
into the programme. Soon after II .. m. the
floor Of the Garden was cleared and two picked
teams Of association football players from the
metropolitan league gave a most interesting ex-
hibitOn of "sOcker."
Next 10 the breaking Of the worlds record IN
( the one-mile run the most meritorious perform
ance was, perhaps. vault of II feet IL inches
which w. Dray, Of Yale, accomplished in the
| handicap pole vault. This is the highest vault
ever recorded indoors. Dray won the pole vault
with a leap of 10 feet and then the bar was
steadily raised until he cleared il at the afore-
mentioned mark
The Garden presented a striking contrast IN
Thursday night when the Old Guard ball was ON
the boards. The decorations had all dtsaDpaar.d
and instead were chalked lines and the nara
| phernalia Of the stadium. The only untoward
/ incident occurred in the relay race for Drfvata
/ schools when two of the runners came together
/ in a nasty spill. The breath was rporentari1,
knocked out OF Goth the youngsters, but no bones
| were broken.
