its meeting with the Columbias. in the
Rosedale League. by 9 to . Good and bad
play was in evidence in both contests.
The stickwork Of Brown OF Shops and
Hutchinson OF once featured the strug-
gle in the railroad organization. Each
man connected for three safe drives. Of
nee. as whole. outhit Shops. but never
was quite able to get its safeties consecu-
lively. Mccarthy and Roche OF the Ma
rooms were the best batters in the Rose

Onutt's pitching for the Maroons was
the real feature Of the victory of that
nine. He held the Coiumbias to three hits

by Larsen OF Brigham Young Univer-
sity some time ago in the high jump

record. There seems to be no question
that the jump was legal from every
standpoint. except that it was made
The measurements were just about as
precise IS possible, but the A. A. L.
ruling is that no record can stand as
such unless created in competition in a
regular event. Just to what ends the
judges went in determining the exact
made by the director of athletics of
Brigham Young University to the ex-
ecutive committee Of the A. A. U. The
report is:

then s feet. next to feet inches,
then at s feet then we raised it to

the try and cleared the bar the first
attempt. The moving picture machine
caught him in the act.
I'VE measured the height twice, and
found 1t to be s feet Sh inches. Not
being content with the ordinary pre-
cautions to get the measurement ac-
curate, we secured a spirit level, a
straight edge and standard steel
tape. A level was drawn from the
point of the foot's take-off to the
cement bases and the ground immedi-
ately under the middle of the bar.
Measuremen ts were then taken by sew
era1 people and were attested and con-
frmed. The final measurements reduced
the height to 8 feet rs inches. This
was an ultra conservative measurement
