1t is quite likely that Joie Ray will
never break the world record for the
mile. set Il couple of years ago at
ALP 3-5 by Norman Tabor. 1t is fair
to assume that he will never be able
to excel his W record at the mile
and a half or two miles. Ray possibly
has trotted over the distances as fast
as he Yer will trot. =
But in his few years on American
tracks Ray probably has run the mile
oftener under 400 indoor and out
door than IN other miller. He is per-
'haps the most consistent distance rum
ner h world has vcr eel :
Not long ago, at Boston. Ray won
the two-mile In comparatively slow
time. Probably he could have run
faster, but he vas not pressed. But
during his career. he has negotiated
the mile and two miles in faster time
oftener than any other athlete. Ray.
himself. hasn't the records to show
how often he has beat 4.ao i'll the
mile. + - -
Rays record is just another link in
the chain that proves that modern
athletes are greater than those OF
earlier years. @
A brief survey of the records shows
that practically every track and field
record has been broken, many OF
them by large margins. .

Kaiser Wilhelm is probably one Of

The kaiser has been rated a shrewd
