TABER VICTOR OVER
KIYIAT IN 4:15 is
Beats Irish American 10 Yards
in Sensational Mile at
Eastern TryOuts.
HURDLE MARK BY MEANIX

p%ionships in the Harvard Stadium to-
day which stood out above an excep-
t~ionally fine lot OF events. one was
the breaking OF the worlds record for
the quarter mile high hurdle race by
w. T.. Meanlx OF the Boston Athletic
Association. lie cleared the three foot
hurdles and covered the 40 yards In
81 4-5 seconds. lettering by 2 seconds
the worlds mark made In England In 1900
by q. II. l.. Anderson. The time also
was 3 seconds faster than the American
record which Meanix set a year ago.
The other feature was the victory of
Norman f.. Taber In the mile run over
a lot of very fast men. Taber ran
the distance in 4 minutes 10 Id sec
onds, which Is the second fastest time
for his event ever made In America.
II was Taber's running against John
Paul Jones OF Cornell two years ago
that compelled the latter To set up the
worlds mark of 4 minutes II 20 sec
onds. Taber had an easy time to-day
and MANI felt hat II he had been more
closely pressed he might have come
nearer to Jones's time.
Abel X. kiviat of the Irish American
A. {. of New York was Taber's nearest
opponent, but the former Brown and
oxford University athlete beat him b.
close to forty yards. Several OF the
timers said they checked Taber at
4:l4 2-5, which would seem TO Indicate
that had he been pressed during the
last SEQ yards he might have made a
new record.
Tom Halpln. Ted Meredith and four
others started In the 44O yard run. Hal
pin set a killing pace. but slowed a bit
at half the distance, and Meredith
dashed into the lead, beating the Bos-
ton man by six or seven yards.
In the half mile there were Ave fast
men, Dempsey Of Maine. Joe Higgins,
the New England intercoile gate cham
pion; Ell Fraser Of New York. and
Ryan ana Caldwell of this city. The
Maine hoy went to the front soon after
the pistol. but Higgin. slipped by him
at the quarter mile mark, with Caldwell
and Fraser closing NJ. At the turn or
the backstretch Fraser led for "A few
seconds and then Higgins went out
again into a Ave yard lead. Toward the
finish Caldwell with n great sprint got
By Fraser In second place. but was three
yards in the rear of Higgins.
Captain-elect Oler OF the Yale team
captured the running high jump. koleh-
mainen and kyronen gave an exhibition
I'm the five mile. For -four miles they
ran side by side and their terrific pace

K~olehmainen began 90 draw away from
