RECORDS BROKEN
BY j. S. ATHLETES
Power and TempletOn Set New
Marks in New Zealand
Competition.
TRACK AND FIELD NOTES

New Zealand athletic records were
shattered yesterday by American ath-
letes, according to advices received in
San Francisco. Power, of the Boston
A. A.. and Templeton. of the Olympic
Club, of San Francisco. established
the new marks.
Power negotiated the SS0-yard dis
lance in one minute and flfty-elSht
seconds, which is one-fifth of n sec
ond better than the record set by
Burke in 1905. Templeton vaulted
eleven feet two inches in the pole
vault, displacing the former mark of
eleven feet one inch. Templeton's
pole broke at this height, preventing
greater boost of the record. The
events were handicap affairs.

BetsytOwners Take Two Games
from Leaders in Athletic
League.
NEGLEY is HIGH MAN

Elizabeth visited Roseyille in the
Athletic Bowling League series last
night and sprung a surprise on the
leaders by winning two games.
In the opener 1t came down to the
last ball. Elizabeth had a trifle adj
vantage. Both Van Ness and AL
West made q spare, and on the last
ball each also made eight, which cost
Roseville the game by a single pin.
In the second set-to Roseville
walked away, but in the final the
leaders rolled their lowest game of
the season, $40, and Elizabeth was
thus able to capture the odd.
Negley led Roseville with 217. fol-
lowed by Moffatt, who had tallies of
204 and 202. Clauss turned in 201 for
Elizabeth.

1t was generally believed that the
star bout for the opening show at
Hillside Park had been decided upon,
but 1t is now learned that Young
Gradwell and Jimmy McVeigh, who
were billed to exchange wallops in
the big number, are not to meet.
Wood, it is said, has Informed Grad
well that he could not stage the bout
because said proposed contest had
been criticised in these columns. 1t
seems to be one of Mr.. Woods
methods to put the blame for his own
failures up to someone else, but he
will fail In this instance. The pro-
posed Gradwell- McVeigh match for
the talked-of opening show at HILL
side was not attacked in any way by
me. I did say that Mcyeigh would
be giving away considerable weight
in a match with Gradwell and that
there were better bargains in the
game for him. AS TO McVeigh meet
ing Gradwell, that would be simply
up to him, and the contest would, no
doubt, be an interesting one and a
profitable one We are for good,
clean boxing, and 1t makes no diff
ference to us whether Eddie Wood

London.-The right wing of the Ger
man army has been turned by French
troops under Gen. Joffre, according to
unofficial dispatches received here. II
is stated, however, that both French
and German armies are in critical po'
sitions, in which defeat would be alb
solute disaster. The conflict extends
over an irregular line 120 miles from
east to west and so miles from north
to south.
The retreat Of the Germans from
Lille is declared to be due to their
fear of attack from an army Of Brit
ish and Russian forces believed to
have been landed at a port on the Eng.
lish channel.
The troops engaged number more
than 1000, 900, the Germans having l.
600, 600 soldiers in France. The forces
Of the allies, now reinforced, are be-
lieved to be equal in numbers to the
invaders.
The news contained in the French
official communication that the Ger
mans had fallen back before the Wig
orous advance by the allied troops on
the line from Nanteuil-le- Haudouin to
Verdun indicates that the Anglo
French forces have got on the flank

Tactics have changed, defenders be-
come offenders. Allied retreats have
been turned into an allied advance. At
this distance a few bold facts stand
out clearly enough to permit a com
plete reconstruction Of the line of
battle.
What has happened appears to be
that the allies, greatly strengthened
by a rest and reinforcements, have
been %watchfully waiting, while the
great German arm, like some unwieldy
giant, has Unanswered away around

ly as an objective the complete per-

east from the army Of the north, SO
they could destroy each piecemeal. But
while that has been in progress, the
allies have been preparing for a light
ming change with tremendous energy.
Time and distance appear to have been
annihilated.
Official reports indicate successful
movements, at least for the time be-
ing, by the allied armies against the
Germans. London reports that the
British have pushed the opposing
forces back ten miles and that the al
lies are gaining ground on the line Of
