Honolulu clubs not being affiliated with
the union. The 50-yard run Is not
practiced in Great Britain or the col
onies, so that Honolulu claims the
honor for En- Sue Pung by reason OF
his lowering the American record The
American record for the distance is
:05 %, and was made by Victor $
Rice of Chicago in 1904. w. d. Eaton
of New York tied this record in 1905
and year later r. L. Murray OF st
Louis was also given mark of % p.
On February 20, 1904. Victor Rice Of
the University of Chicago, in Bartlett
gymnasium ran so yards on a rubber
mat indoors and established the Amer
lean record.
On the same day that he lowered
the 50-yard record, En- Sue Pung won
the 1OO-yard dash in 10 3-5 seconds
which is only fair time for that dis
! lance. The event in which En- Sue won
the island championship was run on
as follows: J. Woo took the first heat
/ fpOm G. l.. Hook and S. G. Pung, IN
/ :O5 As. John LO annexed the second
! trial, finishing ahead of En- Sue and
! l.. Enpui En- Sue got poor start in
/ this heat The time was :05 As. In
the final, however, En- Sue ran like
/ champion, beating LO and Woo in the
/ record breaking time Of :05 1-5. All
three got off TO very good start. En-
Sue also won solid gold medal for
making the greatest aggregate number
/ Of points, %, at the meet.
The Chinese in this country are just
Iy proud Of En- Sues athletic prowess,
and a writer, who signs himself, "A
SOiourner from Honolulu takes ex-
ception to the many erroneous stories
which are being printed about En- Sue
and the attempts to ridicule his meth
