Shrub Holds Record.
Many OF the mile stars. also finished
the two-mile event In fast time OF
the older stars, Alex Grant was per-
haps the best. Then Shrubb, the great
English record-holder for the world,
made the two miles In 9:09 3-5 In 1904.
The best American record was made
by Tel Berna Of Cornell, who is ac-
credited with a mark Of 9:17 As. or
the famous two-niIe runners the fol.
lowing men cut a wide swath in the
field of athletics: Carter, Connect,
Rowe, Hoffmife, Potter, Overton, Ma
son, Bobgood, Wood and Oliver Mil
lard, although the latter is at his best
in the fiye-mile run. Cornell has pro
duced d number OF great distance men
and each year finds new stars. Moak.
ley has made the distance runs spe-
cialty and the Cornell alumni has
encouraged this by staging annual re.
lay games.
In Hawaii the runners OF the day
have not figured close to the time OF
the stars OF the mainland A 4:30
man is yet to be found, but the de-
yelopment from 4:40 to 4:30 is not an
age, as will be evidenced in certain
sections. The Pacific coast for a long
time did not have a 4:30 runner and
then they came in lunches. Hawaii
can look forward to the time when
the stars will be able to improve this
mark The next article will deal with
the men who have made good in the
longer runs.
& Last year at the Exposition meet
there were a number OF stars entered
in the mile run. In this list was Nor
man Taber, holder, of the worlds rec
ord. Many critics believed that the
former Brown man would win, but in.
that race was Abel Kiviat, one of the
greatest runners who ever wore g.
shoe, now professional; Joie Ray,
the speed burner from Chicago; Ny
ers, the conner from Depatiw; Marceau
of Dartmouth, and q number Of west
Hern stars. - asA
Taber did mot win. The time was.
slow owing to the strong wind up the
back stretch. and Joie Ray flashed 70
the tape ahead OF the record holder by
a good margin Myers beat out Kivs
lat, who finished fourth In one Of the
best exhibitions seen in years. With
no wind the race would have been
won under AIS without doubt. NY.
ers, Ray and Marceau win have an OPP
portnnity to try for world honors..
Kiviat is lost, with no future on the
track. The A. A.. U. has endeayored
to keep athletics clean. and Kiviat
failed to help. He viii not run again
.because be placed few paltry dollars
above his athletic reputation.

German Troops Resent
Charges of Inhumanity

German Division Headquarters on
the Somme Front, Aug. 10 Via Lon
don, Aug. 15.)-Germans at the front
bitterly resent the charges Of inhuman-
ity and brutality which have been
brought against them by their oppo-
nents. Several German officers pro-
tested strongly against what they
termed the campaign Of defamation
waged against them. A high officer
who has lectured on the various actions
Of the present offensive said:
1--WE officers and men at the front
are well informed on what our oppo-
nents and neutrals say of us. We know
that we are called Huns and bar
barians. Well, | can say it has not
softened our feelings any, nor will IL.
The more the world howls for our de-
struction the harder we will fight, and
the last Englishman will have to face
the last German. We are neither Huns
nor barbarans, and if severe meas
ures were resorted to by us they were
the outcome of the most serious mill
tary necessity.
"At any rate, SANDER cannot influ-
ence us except in an increasing de
termination to win. Our men see daily
what the lot of Germany would be in
case the seat of war was transferred
there. To prevent this is the burning
desire of all of US"
Similar sentiments were expressed
by officers at every point on the front
visited by the correspondent.
