kolehmainen Is
King of Runners

NEW YORK, Feb. Thames
Kolehamainen Is likely to go on
breaking records every time ne starts
who saw the remarkable running of
this distance marvel from Finland
at the New York Athletic club game
on Wednesday evening viii question
this prediction. Not satisfied with
breaking a record at a set of games
in the afternoon, one of the heroes
of the Olympic games enjoyed a light
supper, crossed the bridge, and took
another whirl at figures which have
come to be respected.
Any man who can smash FIVE
American and one worlds record
within six hours and do it with such
ease against the strongest possible
competition must be placed in class
by himself. When he crossed the
line at the end of FIVE miles on We'd
nesday evening he did not appear to
be in the least distressed, and dozens
expressed the opinion that he could
have clipped another ten seconds off
the mark without half trying. He
runs with so little knee action and
with so little apparent effort that his
true condition may be deCeiving.
He has not yet reached the limit OF
his ability In his playful task of
breaking records. Followers of track
and field sports in this country are
beginning to appreciate what this
great runner accomplished over in
Stockholm last July. George Bonhag
frankly admits that he has never seen
his equal over distance of ground.
Abel Kiviat and Oscar Hedhund also
must be mentioned In this connection
because OF their brilliant perfor-
nance in establishing new indoor re-
cords for one mile last week. 1t be-
gins to look az IL the year 1918 would
be as prolific In new marks ard almost
as sensational on track and field as
the year 1912. In any case, a good
start has been made. Hedlund smash
ed the old mark for one mile indoors
on Wednesday, setting the figures at
4:1S As. kiviat ran away from He'd
lund on Saturday evening and put
the record at 4:iSl- Such run
ming Is worth talking about.

board of the A, A. A. must disqualify
not only promoters and contestants,
but the track itself as Well AS it is
the only place hereabouts just now
where an automobile race meet can
be run, 1t win mean that the local
dealers who have been planning sew
eral contests cannot make use of it
until the ban is lifted
The A. A. A. either must decline to
disqualify the track or else must fix
the term of suspension for so short
time as to make it's intention palpa-
bic. This is putting 1t up to the A.
A. A. a thing which Pickens delights
to do He is the man who engineered
the race between Oldficld and Jack

be under sanction of the Western Au-

ISOLATION has taken an advanced stand
on the question OF playing summer
baseball by college athlatez which
has been given special prominence
since the Thorpe case came up, and
has adopted a resolution permitting
the playing OF summer baseball with
out disqualifying the athlete from
competing in athletic events controlled
by the association
While there has been q gradual re-
vulsion of feeling In regard to the
strict requirements which have been
imposed In that respect In the past.
the Oklahoma association Is the first
to go on record as permitting Its
athletes to play baseball for money
SO long as they meet the requirements
of the association as to scholarship.
Such action has been demanded
generally by baseball men, who say
there should be no question as to
how college man earns his living
during the summer. and that he has
as much right TO do II playing base
ball as In any other way, but the col
leges have been slow TO take that

Minstrels means melody, music,
mirth Principally, it probably stands
for mirth, since nobody ever attended
q minstrel show without first prepar-
Ing himself for a succession or laugh.
That, at least, is the sum total of the
result of the appearance of Murphy
Steel Pier Minstrels last night at the
Empire.
Modern though the current offering
lis in the way of giittering and tasty
costumes and scenic adornment, there
ia no attempt to get away from the
pleasing latter-day idea of minstrel en-
tertainment.
The sextette from Lucia as render
ed by six of the company as afinaie
to the first part, was the singing hit
OF the evening. Clarence Marks had
an opportunity to show his ability to
cover the vocal range from u high
baritone to the lowest possible notes

number which was vocifereuRly en-
cored.

cores as their humorous talk was en-
/ joyed In the afterpiece, the funniest

Chasing Burglars With Light.

Darkness is necessary under ordi-
nary circumstances to enable a bur-
glar to carry on his work. One of
the engineers of a large electric light
ing company has devised a system of
emergency lighting for residences by
which the turning of a master switch
at the head of the bed turns on the
tights all over the house. These
lights may be ordinarily operated by
their respective switches in the usual
way, but in case the master switch is
turned on they cannot be turned off
by means of the individual switches.
This means, Of course, that once the
master switch has been thrown, any
intruder in the house must beat a
retreat.
