capturing Jennings, the Swedish
cha ampion, record of 17S feet 7k inches,

TIES AMERICAN RECORD
The surprise of the day. and a popu-
lar one at that, was the performance
of Edwards, the University of Cali
fornia hurdler, who tied the American
record of Kranzlein, Shaw and Smith
son in the high hurdles and besides
handily defeated Forrest Smithson.
American and worlds champion Smith
son took his defeat quite hard. The
low hurdles were also taken by Ed
wards, defeating Donahue, winner of
this years Pacific athletic association
annual championships at Los Angeles
last July. Edwards is undoubtedly the
best hurdler we have ever developed
here and should be able in the near
future to clip off another fifth and tie
the worlds record, if not better it,
He has form, speed and endurance, and
with proper care has brilliant future
in amateur athletics
Pete Gerhardt was there as usual and
deserves much credit for the great
showing he made in both his races
winning them with a dash that would
have done credit to many an athlete
who has better opportunities of train

is the most consistent runner the club
men have.

showing in the quarter. running in
good form and winning easily.
Snedigar's performance in both the
broad jump and javelin were excellent
and he, like Gerhardt. seems to i'm
prove with age. Bellah had things his
own way in the pole vault, clearing
IL feet inches after he had won
the competition. Rose as usual won
most of the weight events, giving way
to Plaw only in the hammer throw.
The relay race was won quite easily
by the Olympic team. Gerhardt taking
the lead in the second relay.
The 440 race for the sailors was the
