Is reason to believe that there will
be as much interest engendered over
this contest as there was over any
previous one.
For one-thing, the south OF Eng
land is in some ways the greatest
Watching center in the world, and the
fact that the building OF the challen-
ger has once more been .ntrusted to a

Although Kohlemainen broke more
records than any other man on the
track. the greatest individual per-
Torrance must be credited to John
Paul Jones, the champion miller from
Cornell. At the intercollegiate cham
pionships in the Harvard stadium, on
May 31st, Jones knocked a III second
off his own previos worlds record

of running has this record been ex-
ceeded over a measured mile, and that
was when w. @. George, the English
professional, did the distance in 4:12

While Jones covered himself with
glory by making a record for the mile

to hang UP a new mark for the indoor
mile. At the Columbia university

Nick Aitrock and Germany Schae~
fer, Griffs great pair of coachers,
are the best drawing card in baseball,
according to newspaper men all over
the American league circuit. While
Walter johnson Is a better drawing
card On the day no is advertised to
pitch, the drawing ability of Griff s
comedians for a feur-safae series will
prove greater than johnson for one
day. The same holds good in the
case of Joe Wood. Nap Lajoie,

ton pulled a great many funny stunts.
