HORNE LOSES HIS
BEST HIGH JUMP
MARK BY AN ERROR
Pacific Coast Marvel Not
Credited in Official A.
A. u. Records.

The mystery Of George Horine's fall
ure to secure q higher Jumping record
at the last annual meeting OF the ANA
teur Athletic Union has been cleared.
The California high jumper. who Ii
now employed In San Francisco. was
credited with a new worlds record
leap OF feet 81 inches when the 1912
records were passed upon by the A. A.
U. committee. 1t was known at that
time that he was reported to have
jumped feet 7 inches In San Fran.
cisco. and 6 feet inches at Travers
island. but no claim was made for
either record. The 8 foot 8 inch leap
was never authenticated and would not
have been accepted even II proved cor.
rect. for the alleged feat was reported
A. done In practice.
The 9 foot 7 inch Jump credited to
HORNE was made in the Pacific coast
Olympic tryouts held at Leland STAN
ford University field on May Is. There
were Q number OF competent officials
present. and there appeared to be no
were not % Correct. In fact. III" HORNE nsuasi I'D
clear the bar at that height. according
to the latest reports from the Paciho
coast, but the games officials failed to
put Sroin, IN an application ppIist. for the record
When the recor0 was made the prop
er officials certified to the accuracy Of
the jump and on the following day the
a6idavits were drawn up. The papers
were then handed to Harold Maundrell
OF the Olympic Club. who had been des-
ignated by the referee Of the meet to
see that proper steps were taken to
have the record placed before the A.
A: U. for acceptance.
p Maundrell obtained the necessary sew
en- signatures and then placed the pa
pers In his desk. to be sent to New
York later. Somehow the affidavits be-
came mixed with others in the desk
and were not discovered until Decem-
Der 3. when It was mentioned to Maun-
drell that he had been given the papers
to dispatch to New York for the annual
meeting.
1t Is the intention of the Pacific Goa st
athletic authorities to forward these af-
tidavits to Secretary-Treasurer James
Il. Sullivan for recognition, and II is ex-
pected that HORNE will soon be credit
ed with an additional seven. .eighths OF
