INNOVATIONS SURPRISE
TO AMERICAN RUNNERS
Obstacle in Hurdle Races Six Inches
Hiqher Than Those Used In Sim
liar Events in This
Country

The obstacle that will have to be
cleared by the runners in the 400
meter hurdle race in the Olympic
games at London will be three feet in
height instead of two feet six inches,
as generally supposed in this country.
This innovation will come as a sur
prise to the Yankee runners, who
have always been used to topping the
lower timbers. In ali such events in
the United States the two foot six inch
bar is used. and all our records were
made under those conditions.
A still greater surprise is the fact
that the Britons are showing fine
form in the 400 meter hurdle event.
Several of King Edwards athletes
have beaten 60 seconds over the three
foot hurdles and one lad, T. NJ. Dono-
van. has gone the route in 81 AS Sec
onds. Compared to this are the rec
ords of Harry Hillman of the New
York Athletic club, supposedly our best
man at this style of racing. At Celtic
park in 1903 Hillman ran 440 yards
over ten hurdles in So As seconds. At
st. Louis in 1904 Hillman ran the 400
metre hurdles in So seconds fat. All
Hillman's records were done of two
foot six inch hurdles. but even at that
his records are better than those re-
Gently accomplished in England.

VENICE, May 15.-The establishing

Several reports favoring the project

The question of salt water mains for

attention. 1t is probable that action
along these lines will be taken by the

FIGHTERS PREPARE FOR COM

CROWD VISITS WALSH AT LONG
BEACH
Boys All in Good Condition and Near
Weight - Much Speculation
Among Fans-Bettng
Light

AS the date of the boxing carnival at
McCarey's pavilion approaches the
fight fans are beginning to discuss the
relative merits of the young scrappers
who are to take part in the program.
The bout between Dale Gardner and
Howard Baker is causing much specu-
lation, as both boys are exceedingly good
at the weight specified. Gardner is the
more experienced, but for youngster
of 10 Baker certainly shows great ring
generalship, and Gardner will have to
look to his laurels if he would not sur
render them to Murphy's young pro-
tege. Baker is strong and we'll able to
hold up his end, as his battle with
Montana Kid showed when the two
met recently IT San Bernardino.
Baker is training at Watts. Yester-
day he put in hard work, going on the
road in the morning and boxing for
five sessions in the afternoon. Dale
Gardner went four fast rounds with
Mike Kutchos at McCarey's pavilion
in the afternoon, and was in good shape
when the bout was finished.
Both of the Joys can make the weight
easily, the 142-pound figure having been
stipulated so that neither of the box
ers would be deceived in regard to the
weight of the other
Jimmy Walsh continued his work at
Long Beach yesterday, and his bout
with Kid Martin in the afternoon drew
a good sized crowd to Holmes gym

Menney went on the road around
Eastside yesterday morning after doing
his gymnasium stunts. Later in the
day he boxed three rounds with Kid

with Joe Rivera. He tipped the beam

Carsey Memsic is handling the Chi
cago boy and is helping him in the
boxing line. Carsey has become accli-
mated already and says that he will be
in the best shape when the announcer
calls his name next Tuesday night.
Interest in the entertainment is being
aroused among the fans by the evenly
matched bouts. All the boys in the diff
ferent classes are balanced, with the
exception of Walsh and Menney. The
bantam is perfectly willing to give
away, the five pounds necessary to get
the match with Menney. Eddie Keeven
can see no one in the contest but
Walsh.
The Jap who beat Eddie Lennon will
have a chance to go against Mike
Kutchos in a siX-round curtain raiser.
Oyama will fight in different style
in the coming contest, and there are
many who have seen him train for
the fray who believe that he has
good opportunity to show what the yell
low man can do. AS he has consented
to fight winner-take-all, he certainly
shows the persistency of the game.
Besides the thirty-six rounds of box
ing, George Mullen is training daily for
his bag punching act, which is said to
be marvellous in its deXterity.

THE LADY MAUD Is
ENTERED FOR RACE
San Diego Yachtsman Notifies Presi-
dent of Chamber of Commerce
That Boat VIII Be Here
on Time

President Stewart of the chamber
of commerce has received a letter from
Wilbur Kyle of the San Diego Yacht
club saying he will enter his boat, the
Lady Maud, in the San Pedro to Hon
olulu race July 4.
This entry adds one more fine vessel
to the list of ocean racers now being
fitted for the event. The race to the
Hawaiian islands will be one of world
wide interest and the local yachtsmen
are hard at work getting everything
into shape so the contest will be sue
cessful.
The Lady Maud was built at San
Diego two years ago and is a famous
sea boat 1t has a length of sixty
eight feet nine inches over all, water
line of fifty-four feet. and is yawl
rugged.
MIR. Stewart also received a letter
from the secretary of the Seattle Yacht
club to the effect that the Gwendoline
II started for Southern California wa
ters and will anchor off one of the
nearby coast towns about the middle
of June. 1t was not stated positively
that the yacht will enter for the ocean
race but it is thought the boat will
participate.
The yacht club committee and the
committee appointed by the chamber of
commerce to raise funds to commission
the yachts for the race will probably
meet next Monday and formulate
plans for the coming event.
