usual Feats in World
of Athletics.

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-The last season
has seen some wonderful records made
in track and field events. The figures
have not yet been passed upon by the
record committee OF the American Ath-
letic union. and certain of them may fail
to receive official sanction. but the times
and distances accomplished, whether
technically approved or not, will remain
in the memories of those who are inter
ested in athletics as marvellous achieve
ments. Sheppard, Bacon, Eller. Flana-
gan and the other wonders of the ath-
letic world have handled old records In
very careless manner and smashed
them at every opportunity.
