MEREDITH FAILS OF RECORD
False Start Disastrous to Penn
Whirlwind

San Francisco, Cal, Aug lifted
Meredith of tho Meadowbrook Athletic
cluh or Philadelphia and worlds rec
ora noider for the half mile lost a
chance to add the worlds mark for
the 44O-yard dash on n straight away
track to his accomplishments yester-
day at the Exposition when the tim
ers failed to catch the flash of the
starters. pistol at the commencement
of a special match race. Weather
conditions for the establishment of a
new mark were all that could be de-
sired.
At $50 O'Clock Meredith, Frank
Stormer of Cincinnati and Frank Slo-
man of OLYMPIC club took their marks
for an attempt to better MaXay Longs
mark at At seconds. Scarcely a breath
of wind futtered the handkerchiefs
held out as a test The men got off
to a perfect start and at the 220-yard
mark Meredith led Sloman by about
a foot and Abel Kivlat, caught the
runners in 20 2-5 seconds. But at
this juncture the men were stopped
when it was found that the timers
had failed to see the smoke Of the
starters gun.
Ordered to start again after heart
breaking furlong, Frank Sloman
dropped out of it, but Meredith and
Stormer took their marks. On this
occasion the timers were carried with
in earshot of the starters gun by an
automobile Getting off to good
start but necessarily off fettle after
the worry of the last race and it's ac-
companying fatigue, Meredith estab-
lished a lead at the halfway mark
which he increased to ten yards at the
finish. The watches caught him in
4S 3-5 seconds.
1t is almost certain that the Phila-
delphian could have eclipsed the mark
in his first start, for it would have
been only necessary for him to run
the second furlOng of his race in 25
seconds to get 46 2-5. In the first fur
long of his second race he was timed
in % is.
At the conclusion of the race Mere
dith said that he was through with
work for a long time, regretting that
the first start could not have been
completed.
