PAT MCDONALD ESTABLISHES
 A NEW WEIGHT RECORD

New York, March 24.-"Pat' Mcdonald, of the N. Y. 4. C., es- tablishes a new worlds record last week, tossing the 24-pound shot 39 feet 3 l-l inches. The real star of the annual senior in- door championships of the Anna teur Athletic Union, held in Mad ison Square Garden, was Abel R. Kiviat, of the lrish-American Athletic Club, who won the GOO and 1000 yard runs.
 Tn rrnping away with he big middle distance events, kiviat made a new American record in the 1000 yard run of 2:i5 i-5, shortening his own record of two years standing by two-lifths of a second. An hour later he led "Ted' Meredith, the Olympic win ner, by inches in Inc GOO yard run. with Tom Halpin. of Boston. a close third.
 Mcdonald exceeded his own worlds record by five inches when he smashed the mark for 2i- pound shot put. The former mark
 was made at Celtic park outdoors
 IS months ago.
 kOlehmainen, he Finnish long
 distance runner, dropped out of the two mile race, after tailine the field of seven runners for a little over mile. Apparently he was unable to warm up in the dis tance, which is shorter than he i fancied.
 Harry Smith, the tcn-milc na- tional champion, went cold. also a
 lap ahead of the Finn, and drop
 ped out. William J. Kramer, the former cross country champion. led the field in the ten mile event
 and was never headed. The American indoor records
 were equalled in the 70-yard hur-
 de by James I. Wendell, of Wes-
 leyan, and Howard P. Drew. the
 negro sprinter from Springfield.
 Mass, in the 75-yard dash. ] A penalty of three yards for
 breaking in the final of the 300 yard run failed to defeat Fred
 Burns, of Boston, who won and
 came within one-fifth of a sec
 ond of the American record of B
 seconds.
