Taber Comes Close
 To Breaking Record
 For Mile in Stadium

csanrbridge, Mass, June 2S-Norman Taber, former Brown University star, has the worlds amateur record for the mile at his mercy.
 The Oxford Rhodes scholar, running in the co1ors of the Boston A. A., gave ample evidence of that fact in the Harvard Stadium Saturday afternoon, when he covered the mile in 4:15 1-5, coming within four-ffths of a second of John Paul Jonesss mark set on the tercollegiate championship. On that occasion Talber was a very close sec ond.
 . Taberss remarkable performance fea- tured the Eastern tryouts for the na- tionaI c11aLnpionship games to be ton at San Francisco on August 6 and '.
 That Taber did not excel Jonee's rec ord was due to three conditions-a slow pace in the first quarter mile, a track sodden with the mornings rains and lack of real competition.
 The latter fact is mentioned in no disparagement of the race run 9by Abel Kiviat, of the Irish American A C., of New York, who was second to Taber by 38 yards and whose time was in 1 side 4:2O. Kfviat was still sfferfng bothered him in the metropolitan senior championships last Saturday and that he was able to keep going at so speedy a. gait was truly remark able.
