Dick Sullivan holds the mile walk
ing record for Hawaii. He made the
mile on the circular track at Boys
Field Saturday afternoon In eight |
minutes and thirty-six seconds, knock |
| ing nineteen seconds of the existing |
record Ayres finished second, lower |
| ing his own record-the existing ISL !
and record-by four seconds. and |
Cheatham finished very good third. !
| The report of the pistol sent the !
competitors of in a bunch. Ayres !
took the lead and hit a pace that look |
ed to be suicidal for a mile contest.
Sullivan soon passed him. going at an
even greater clip, and the race settled
down to the following order: Sulli-
van, Ayres, Cheatham, the field.
Sullivan walked like an automaton,
getting over the ground in a'remark-
able fashion. Once he caught his
stride, Ayres followed suit, and after
the first lap Sullivan was unable to
Increase his lead. "
Cheatham, though adopting an un-
graceful attitude, made the track fly
past him, and he hung onto the trail
of the leaders with determination
to finish lin the money"
Not once did one of the three lead
ers relax his speed. and on the last
lap they visibly increased II, despite
the man-killing pace which they had
been maintaining from the start.
The track was in vile condition and
had all of the men fallen below their
existing records II would not have
been surprising. The cinders were
massed and bumpy and, instead of be-
ing springy, the surface was "slidy."
II was in about the poorest imagin-
able condition for championship
contest.
Before the pistol shot announced
the starting of the first event, there
was not vacant seat in the grand
stand at the park and the police had
hard time keeping the enthusiastic
throng back from the track. Every
finish. good, bad or Indifferent, was
| the signal for wild "hurrahs" and the
[ competitors all received plenty OF en-
/. couragement.
