 It was seven years ago today. June as, 1908, at Sposkaie, Wash, that Dan | Kelly, until then unknown to fame, ran q hundred yards in nine and [ three-fekhs seconds. The record was l accepted by the Amateur Athletic | Union, on the testimony of a score of | reputable men, who declared they had | inspected the watches, three in, mum ber and that all read 3-5 seconds.
 No other record in amateur attn | Ietics has aroused so much eontrover-l sy as that attributed to Kelly. Onet of those who refused to believe in thej authenticity of Ke1fy's time was the late Mike Murphy. who trained Kelly for some time in the year following | his alleged record breaking feat in [ Spokane. The lamented Mike held that Kelly hadn't it in him to do bet ter than 10 Is seconds.
 It has been alleged that unofficial tirnekeepers at Spokane made the | time over ten seconds. It is certain | that Kelly never did anything wonder full after that, although he had the advantage of being trained by Murphy and other experts
 Jack King, former athletic trainer z+ the Spokane A. C., recently made sL statement which bears out the theory of those who have refused to accept Keny's record. King tells of a forme race in which the watches were fixed, a tactics were used in the Kelly affair. | He abso1ves Kelly of all knowledge of the liking if there was such. In tended merely as hoax, it soon got heyond that.
 ~I don't think it was the intention | to go so far as to apply for records said King, but there was so much talk dt had to be done As to Kelly, | am '. a goed friend of his, but he never; could run up to that mark When he went to Jamestown offer ed to bet $I,5o0 that he wouldn't place in the sprints, and he didn't. Afterwsrd he started in seventeen 100-yard races and never placed in one of them, although they were run in 10 1I-6 or worse. He never ran 10 he could"
