NEWPORT, December 1O-The contest
over the will of Emily o. Gibbes, who left
100000 to Barnard College and nothing
to her relatives will probably be settled.

week, and was to have gone on yesterday,
was continued yesterday morning till to-
day. 1t was said in court that a settle
ment was contemplated. The contestant OF
the will was Mrs. Margaret O. Post of

whom she had been estranged many years
Mrs. Post, in her contest, charged that her
sister was Of unsound mind and that she
was unduly influenced in favor of Barnard
College. The terms of the settlement as
proposed are not known, but it is said
Barnard will receive about $500, 600.

DUFFEY SAYS RECORD
CAN BE LOWERED

That the 100 yards will in the course
OF time be covered in the phenomenal
time of nine seconds fiat Is the asser-
ton OF Arthur F. Duffey, the holder of
the amateur record for the distance
until 1t was wiped off the record list
by the powers that be. This is exclu-
sive Of the fact that but one other man,
B. ]. Wefers. is credited by those with
good judgment and knowledge of
sprinting as being capable of equaling
Duffey's amateur record.
When expressing his views on the fu-
ture of record breaking in the 1OO-yard
distance recently Duffey was unwill-
ing to state his opinion of the au-
thenticity OF Dan Ke1ly's 8 3-5 seconds
record, which is on the A. A. u books
IN pace OF his own, saying that of all
men he was in the most awkward DO
sition to proclaim his opinion of the
matter. He contended as regards par
Ing the record to seconds flat that
the natural increase in athletic interest
and great Improvement in form among
atnletes In the past ten or fifteen years
both tend to produce a betterment in
the records. and that the sprinting
events will share in the result.
This Is already evident from the fact
that both in college competition and
outside the standards are generally
much higher than formerly Where
once a consistent 1O-seconds man was
a rarity. he Is now nothing out of the
ordinary, the o 4-5-seconds performer
being In the main accepted as the
standard man. Starting from this prem
Use the logic is excellent.
The only drawback is that the limit
of human speed. even Of the most phe-
nomenal sprtnters under the most IA
vorable conditions. may be reached
short of the 8 seconds fiat mark, as
seems very probable. considering that
great sprinting authorities viewed
Duffey as the most perfect sprinting
machine ever evolved. Making sprint
ing study and an art from start to
finish. as few would, granted The great
natural ability. having the patience, in
clination and opportunity to do, Duffy,
under ideal conditions and pushed to
extraordinary exertions by a formid-
able opponent, covered the distance in
8 3-a seconds.
Whether he would have performed
the feat exclusive of this grea1 oppor-
tunity is mooted question. He is
credited with duplication of the time,
but 1t is much to be doubted if his
subsequent achievements, which mark
ed him as a consistent 0 3-5 performer.
would have been looked upon in this
favorable light did they not have a
precedent to sustain them.

new YORK DAFFY
OVER CYCLE RACE

NEW YORK. December 10.-If New
Workers ever had a chance to go crazy
over six-day race they certainly have
over this one. During the first twenty.
four hours of the grind there has been
more sensational riding than during the
entire week Of some Of the preceding con.
tests.
Mad sprints for laps started almost i'm.
mediately after Jim Corbett fired the CUR
that started the field off. and during the
morning hours several heartrendine
shakedowns came that proved too Cruel
ing for a number Of the teams. Never
before since team races were inauguratec
here have so many riders been forced GU,
of the grind so early on account Of the
grueling pace.
First it was the Irish English team com.
posed of Harry Reynolds and Jim Ben
yon that fell by the wayside. They col
and went down in a heap with several
other riders. They were SO badly cut up
that 1t was impossible for them to resume
the race. This occurred just after one OF
the greatest sprtnts ever seen in a six
day race. Darragon, the French rider,
$40 am. 1t resulted not only in putting
the Benyon-Reynolds combination out of
business. but in several teams being
Tapped. including among others Lawson
and Macdonald.
1t was q great surprise to see liver Law
son go under 50 early. Next to Frank
Kramer he Is the greatest American
Splinter. 1t simply shows that 1t is the
old pluggers that get by in this game. II
Lawson could have stood the gan until
Thursday or Friday he would have been
one of the most feared men in the race
AS 1t Is he and his mate, Macdonald, are
making repeated efforts to regain their
lost ground. On quick jump the Swede
will get away for half lap while the
crowd goes frantic. But he can't keep 1t
up. Moran or Fogler. John or Menus Be
dell. Rutt or Stol will pull the bunch up
to him every time, and Lawson just loses
so much wasted power. The way they
are riding now If he and Macdonald fin
ish the race 1t will be a surprise, as Law
son probably will not be able to stand
the necessary punishment.
