Distance Men of Past Greater.

The distance events like the shot
put and the hurdles, give the Garner
athletes the honor of having the
king" while the other stars OF the
events are marshaled from the ranks
of the later stars. When Maxey Long
set a mark Of O.47 for the quarter mile
in 1900 he gave quarter-milers a marx
to shoot at, and present prospects are
that the mark will be there for years
Taylor. the star of the Pennsylvania
Sheppard. Burke and Fitzpatrick are
other notable performers in the middle
distances.
In the long distance events. Tommy
Connect stands out as prominently as
does Long in the middle distances. He
was unbeatable at any distance be-
tween one and three miles. and George
Bonhag is just as fnvincible at all dis
tanceS from. three to ten miles. faull.
another University of PENNSYLVANIA
runner, is the best OF the men now
running, and probably has a shade over
any Of the men who have been in ath-
letics since Connect retired. However,
he has plenty OF great rivals in Light
body of the University OF Chicago;
Rowe, Dull and May Of the University
OF Michigan; Taylor and Trube of Cor
nell and Cregan of Princeton.
There has been wonderful advance
ment in track athletics. and unques-
tionab1y this progress will continue.
for specialization and study are unmis-
taxable signs of progress. However.
so far as mare figures are concerned,
it seems .2rsrdly possible that many of
the best OF the existing records will De
greatly improved. as there necessarily
IS limit to human endeavor, Limit
which cannot be transcribed by even
ideal preparation and conditions.

SpoI tluS
VII you kindly publish at your earliest
convenience in your columns the answers
to the following questions. and oblige.
!. Why are most major league parks
built SO that right field is the "sun gar
den?
. To which of the outfieId positions
do the most balls go during an average
game. and to which do the least number
of balls go?
,. On form, where should the Washing
ton clu' finish this year?
Your answers to these questions will be
very much appreciated by,
WALTER HERBST.
I. In laying out a ball park an effort
is made to protect the spectators from
the sun. and as one of the fields is sure
to be a sunfield under such conditions,
right field is usually selected because it
is figured that there are fewer balls hit
into that field.

America s great pole avauiters. the list OF
leapers who have represented Eli inciud-
ing Dray. Campbell and Nelson. the two
greatest of them all. Cook of Cornell
also has been credited with some wonder
fu performances. Cook, however, like
Sheridan, must base his claim to fame
more particularly on his all around ahii-
ity than on remarkable success In any
individual event.
In the shOtput there has been a mark
ed improvement in the caliber OF the men
competing. although as in several other
events the best performers today have
no considerable margin over the record
holder of ten years ago. The point l
mean to make is that while, II We were

that the, shotputters a decade ago were
as good as they are now, as a matter OF
fact there now are half q dozen men
who are as good as the one athlete who
at that time stood out prominently above
all his rivals. Gray was the best of the
old timers and his mark of approximately
foIty-eight feet compares favorably with
the best efforts of such stars as Ralph
Rose, Wesley Coe, Kruger Dennis Nor
gan, Joe Horner and Lee Mahon.
