ABE KIVIAT BREAKS
1900 METER RECORD
Scott Betters Jean Bouin's Time in
5,000-meter Flat Race-Dun-
can Sets New Mark.

New York. May 2s.-More than 7.OOO
persons at Celtic Park to-day saw Abe
KIviat lowered the worlds l.5OO meter
record by three-fifths Of a second. The
games were held under the auspices OF
the New York Post-office Clerks As
sociation. Great interest centered in the
events. because Of the attendance OF
several Boston runners, who came down
to lower the cOlors Of Kiviat and Melvin
Sheppard.
After a splendid effort, in which he
was opposed by Oscar HedIund, the New
England champion. Melvin Sheppard and
Frank Riley, Kiviat breasted the tape
in three minutes. hfty-nine and one
fifth seconds. This lowered the mark
three-ffths Of a second. the previous
high record being held by P. Wilson, OF
Great Britain.
Two other worlds records also went
by the board before the games were
concluded.
Louis Scott. Of the South Paterson
Athletic Club, set a new figure in the
5.OOO-meter fiat race, when he stepped
TO the finish line in II minutes 2-5 sec
onds. This is five seconds faster than
the worlds record. held by Jean Bouin.
Of France.
James Duncan proved himself a worthy
successor to Martin Sheridan by hurl-
Ing the discuss the wonderful distance
OF 156 feet one inch from an eight-foot
two-inch circle, Olympic style. Duncan
also set a new figure for throwing the
discuss with right and left hands. his
throw with the left being 90 feet n
inches, a total Of 252 feet 81 inches.
Duncan threw the discuss over the
picket fence at the park when he made
his record, throwing across the wind,
so that there would be no question as
to the validity OF the mark. AS the
ground on the outside OF the fence is
at least a foot higher than the spot
from where he threw, there can be no
dispute as to the worth OF the record.
The crowd around the fence broke away
when the discuss came toward them and
the missile grazed the Lat Of woman
who was standing back Of the fence.
This made Duncan a little nervous and
he only made III feet on his next throw.
Duncan's throw went Is feet ~ inches
past the fence, the distance to the rail-
ing being 139 feet 81 inches. Sheridan's
record was 142 feet 1OI4 inches.
