again broke his own worlds record for
the 1,500-metre run, when he covered the
distance in 3 minutes 56 As seconds,
which lowered the mark he established a
week ago by 3-5 seconds. Jim Duncan
got his shoulder behind the discus and,
competing from seven-foot circle, tossed
the saucer out 145 feet 9Iz inches, which
added feet 5is inches to the former rec
ord of 141 feet AS inches, established in
1911 by Martin Sheridan Although Dun
can broke the record, handicaps were too
much for him and he was forced to rest
content with second honors.
Nor were these record performances all
that stirred the crowd OF some eight
thousand persons. c. A. Reidpath, the
quarter-mle intercollegiate champion and
record holder, gave another exhibition OF
his marvellous speed. when he won
brilliant race in the i00-metre run in ~
seconds fiat time. Reidpath might well
have scored in record time, but for the
fact that one of the field. staring from a
handicap, stumbled and in falling threw the
syracuse star out of his stride His mar
gin of victory was slight. bare seven
inches separating him from S. +. Asgen,
who in turn nosed out Mel Sheppard.
George HORNE. the high Jumper from
San Francisco, holder of the worlds rec
ord of feet rs inches, was forced 10
rest content with a tie for first honors
with three other jumpers. HORNE. how
ever. gave the greatest exhibition Of high
jumping seen i'm the East since the days
of Mike Sweeney, and cleared the bar at
6 feet inches. Egon Erickson, the ma
tional and metropolitan champion at one
time gave HORNE a bitter fight and kept
along until he accomplished s feet 4
inches, d greater height than he had ever
cleared previously.
Although Duncan tossed the discus TO
distance never before attained from seven.
foot circle. he did not win first honors. r
Albers aided by a handicap of "a feet,
tossed the platter out 126 feet. and strain as
he would Duncan was unable to overcome
the handicap. Bob Sarganis captured third
honors with toss Of ll0 feet, and his
3O-foot handicap brought his total to lio
feet
