ED BY LATE JOSIAH PAGE,

estate was probated and all specific
claims settled there remained approxl-
mate]y 500, which was turned over ito
the city of Little Falls and which was
bv the city council created into a per
manent Page memorial fund.
The Request to the county for the
clock was $4,000 and with interest
amounts to $2,O15. For this amount
the county commissioners purchased a

either America or England to capture both national titles in the same year Harold Hilton and John Ball. English amateurs. won both titles. but both in different sea sons, while in this country Francis OuiKnet and Jerome Travers won double honors, but at different times.
 There was hardly a cloud in the sky and only a slight wind blowing when the players teed off for their 36 hole match at 10 a. m., and the conditions improved if anything during the after noon round. There was a gallery of fully 5000 along the course when the players drove off and it increased all day until there was close to 10000 present for the finish on the 33d green.
 The mother of the winner followed the golfing of her son throughout the entire 33 hole battle. She shared in the congratulations and attention that fell to the lot of her boy when he was presented the gold championship medal by Frank l.. Woodward president Of the United States Coli association, on the green where he clinched the match, along with Gardner, Corkran and Gull ford, who received runner up and semi -fnalist medals, respectively.

PRESENT COLLEGE ATHLETES AHEAD OF PAST GENERATION Better Records in Most Events This
 Year Than in 1896.

Arthur Duffy, one of the world s greatest sprinters, has followed the athletes of today very closely and analyses and compares the work of the present day stars with the Wln- ners 20 years ago.
 Are the college athletes today fast CT than they were 20 years ago?' asks Duffy. This question is being hash ed rehashed all along the line i1s the amateur athletic game. Ever since Ted Meredith, Bob Simpson, Ar lie Mucks and Q few more of the leading modern stars have put up such sensational performances the query vii not down. But in looking through the feats Of the college ath- letes of today as compared with those of 20 years ago, it is a very easy mat ter to decide. In fact, there Is hard ly any chance for comparison.
 Back 20 years ago in the intercCl- Iegiates of 1896 it was thought at that time that the collegiate athletes were about the fastest permorrners that the limit of human speed and enudr- ance had about been reached, but since that year, one by one, have the records in the different events been broken, while it was up to this year to produce the most remarkable per formers of all.
 Back in the old days Bernie Wei fers running under the colors Of eorgetown, was the king bee among the short distance men. He occupied the same position among the sprInters that Ted Meredith does among the middle distance runners of today. Wefers was the most consrsrent per former over the 100 and furlong dis tances that we ever had. Every time that he started in a race the contest was considered as good as settled
 Over the furlong distance Wefers would have had more competition than in the century. Moore of Prince ton showed himself to be one of the pest furlong runners the college ranks ever produced.
 True, Billy Moore did not run any 21 1-5 seconds for the distance In the intercollegiates this year, but it was not his fault There was no one in the race who could give him a battle. If there had been the Tiger crack would have equalled Wefer's time. However, with both men fit there is but little question that the former champion would have beaten Moore in such a race.

Title Holders HsUe Hs~d Fight In the
 Championship Meet.

One oS the greatest crowds. Ehat~ ever gathered a4 R track Hneet--sorne 30, 900 men, women and chi1dren-1ammed dts way into Wieequahio park, Newaras, N. J., and nn ,fp ehs surrounding hills Sat- usday to witness the annual senior national track and field championshins fought out between the piclzed ath- letes Of the country.
 Under weather conditions that vere almost perfect the spectators saw the men of muscle and speed smash four senior recoxds and two American marks while f1 the ts9 yard high h1lr- dle, with 6 wonderful field facing the startef, Robert Simpson of the unfver- sitY of Missouri finished just ahead of Fred Kelly of Los Angeles In OLA &%5. This is Q. new senior record. and al- though Simpson himself Is credited with time fifth Of 9 second lower than this, that mark has not been off, cially accepted, and the time he made Saturday will probably be recognized as Q new world'd record.
 Fred Murray. the great athlete from California, although he lost his nation ul title in this race-being placed 7 urth-retained his championship in thc 220 yard low hurdle event, where re set up new senior record of O.24 The Leland Stanford university boy had q terrific struggle all the way with Fred Kelly of Lbs Angeles, and Joe Loon1is of Chicago, but his speed was great enough to place him in front by the scantest Of margins.

Tom Burke of Boston university

Tom Burke of Boston university won the quarter mile championship in 1896. In the intercollegiates at that time Tom ran the distance in 50s 2-5 seconds. Not such a wonderful performance when compared with Ted Meredith's run of AZ 2-5 seconds for the distance this yeSr. But forget z all about Burke's time in that race He was a runner to be classed with Ted Meredith or any other double furlong runner.
 T will not go so far as to say that Burke woud defeat Meredith in a. quarter mile race, but any of the old timers who recall Burke's work on the cinder path will have to admit that ttS was wonderful. This Boston runner \ did not have the strength of Mere < dith in a race, but in action he was beautiful athlete to behold He had the longest stride known for quarter : miller. :
 "In the half mile run the present day champion Ted Meredith, again !. shows to the front. The Quaker champion will have to we awarded the palm over Evan Hollister, who was running for Harvard and won the event in the old days. Nevertheless, {. Hollister was a remarkable perform { CT. In 1896, HolHster won the 1:56 , 4-5. He could have done faster time than this and has got down to the 1:5S 4-5.
 Tn fact he held the record of hay- ing run the fastest half at Cambridge until Billy Bingham came along this year and ran one-fifth of second faster. But great runner as was Hol- lister Meredith by his all round con- ; sistency and hls recent record per formances is by far the better athlete
 Were Windnagle of Cornell won the mile intercollegiate this year in AID. It was one of the fastest miles not only in the college games but any { where else Back in 1896 there was . very poor crop of mflers. In fact in ' those days 4:2G for the distance was < almost an unheard of performance ! G. o. Jarvis of Wesleyan was the ] winner of the mile that year, and the f best that he could do was 4:28 4-5. or course, against Windnagle's run ofi 4:15 there is no question about the respective abilities of the two. The { comparasions of 1916 are as follows: |
 The two mile was not run in 1896, / while this year Potter did it this year in g minutes, 32 25 seconds. IF. S. Murray did the 120 yard hurdles in 15 seconds this year, the 220 in 24 1-5 seconds, while E. c. Perkins in the 12O yards hurdles took IS Is seconds 20 years ago. In 1896 J. L. Brewer did the longer hurdling event in 25 seconds.
