TRACK ATHLETICS.

Father Time was leo q merry cHhoe all
through the year by the stars of the
cinder path. Runners, Jumpers. hurdlers
and weisht-tossers bettered marks which
had stood for years on the record books
Far and away the best work in 1910 was
done by the two runners George V. Bon
hag and Melvin W. Sheppard. both mem
bers Of the Irish-Arerican Athletic Club.
Between them they set up new marks at
almost every distance from 500 yards to
five miles. Sheppard found Harry Gissing
e. worthy rival, but carried of most OF
the middle distance honors. while Bonhag
was in class by himself as long dis
tance runner.
On July Sheppard ran 500 yards in 81
IS seconds, equalling the time made by
Tommy Burke thirteen years ago. On
August Il he cut one-ffth Of a second
from the record of III for 500 yards made
by Burke fourteen years ago. He also
added fame TO his name by making rec

when he ran 1000 yards in . minutes u 20

GOLF.

In various respects the year 1910 has been
memorable In golf. The competitive phase
of the game, beginning in January at points
where conditions were favorable, has been
almost continuous up TO the present time.
In fact, at no period IN the history Of the
royal and ancient game on this side OF the
Atlantic have the minor or club fixtures
crowded upon each other in such profusion-
So far as the championship competitions

AUTOMOBILING.

As said before, Barney Oldfeid earned
the distinction Of travelling faster than
any living thing except the swallow, IN
his specially constructed racing car. The
powerful machine hurtled its way over the
hard sand on Florida beach in N.S3 sec
onds for q mile, or at the rate OF Id rs
miles an hour, a speed which. II 1t could
be maintained, would land man in Chi
casp from New York In Just about seven
hours.
This was not all. No fewer than fifty-eight
new records were established during the
year for speedway, circular track and
straight-away free-for-all races in the varf-
GUS classes. Every record for a circular
dirt track, from one mile to seventy-five
miles was broken, while every recognized
speedway record from half mile to I'D
miles went by the board. Barney Oldfield
and Ralph De Palma. the former with
eleven new marks and the latter with ten,

existing records. but George Robertson.

were prominent.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

The College football season is almost too
fresh in mind TO require review. A fun
recanitr1Iat ton was made in The Tribune
less than a month ago, but few OF the
leading facts may be recalled CHIEF inter-
est centred in the operation OF the new
code. Such radical changes in the rules
were made to satisfy the demands of those
who insisted that the game be made safer
and saner. or else stand abolished. that
some doubt existed to Just what the
game would produce. All doubts were dis
PEELED; however before the season was
half over, and while some Improvements
can be made in the code, the general feel
ing appears to be that the game has been
saved and that the sport is the better from
every point OF view
Harvard was ranked at the head CT the
list in view OF the fact that her record
was marred only by z tie game with Yale
The critics disagreed in the placing OF
Pennsylvania. Brown and Yale, which,
however. were ranked in the East as only
q shade behind Harvard. The Trib-
,1e piaced Brown second. Yale third and
PENNSYLVANIA fourth The eleven Of the
Naval Academy at Annapolis was unbeaten
and unscored on. and wound up most

the Military Academy. OF West Point at
PHILADELPHIA by a score of 3 to O. Prince
ton. Dartmouth. Cornell, Lafayette and
Trinity were other teams In the East which
earned a forward place in the ranking.

season was the remarkable performance Of
the Yale eleven. which, after being beaten
by West Point. thrashed by Brown and tied

TROTING AND PACING.

The history OF the light harness turf for
1910 makes particularly good reading. The
wholesale breaking Of records was remark
able in Itself, but the amazing performance
OF Unlan. which trotted mile in 1:5sS4,
vas enough to mark the season in red
letters. Just as Star Pointer, which died g
few days ago, was the first two-rninute
PAGER, Uhlan may be ranked as the first
real two-Hinute trotter- Lou Dillon, aided
by a wind shield. trotted one mile in 1875
in 1:5s1z, but the two minute mark had
never been beaten up to last season with

Chlen is a son of Bingen, one of the
great tr0tters of his day. ard in all proba-
bility the black whirlwind has not yet
reached the limit Of his speed This country
has long been the nursery for light har-
ness horses. and the sure but gradual de-
velopment along scientific breeding lines has
reached such a high point that il speaks
volumes for those who have worked so
earnestly TO foster and encourage growing
industry.
UhIan was not the only morse, however,
which earned fame and distinction Colo
rado E established a new three-year-oid
record by trotting a mile in 2:04s.; Joan set
a new mark Of 2:e4a4 for four-year-oio
trotter; Native Belle established a new
three-year-old fly record by trottfng q
mile in 2:o6512. while The Harvester proved
himself second only to Uhlan by setting a
new stallion record Of 2:o1 and by estae-
istins a new mark Of 4:1514 for two miles.
The PAGERS, or sidewheelers, did not play
such a prominent part, but a word must
be said for Minor Heir, which set new
worlds record for one mile in race by
pacing the distance IN i:59. Dan Patch still
holds the one mile record against time or
1:5a. but some horsenen do not hesitate
to predict that Minor Heir will equal this
mark even If he does not establish new
one. before the season OF 1911 passes into
history.
