Preliminary heats in eleven of the

Away back in 1895 Wefers hung up
his records. They were made in New

lowing day he raced the 100 yards in
8 As seconds.

Pennsylvania. succeeded in tying
Wefers' record for the 22O-yard event.
Wefers' mark for the century, un-
equaled by a college champion until
1911, when Craig, of Michigan,
Travelled the 100 yards in 945 sec
onds. Two years later J. +. Patter-
son, a Pennsylvania University man,
equaled the time for the century.
Thus, Wefers made two intercol-
legiate records back in 1896. Only
twice has the century mark been
equaled. On but three occasions has
the time for the 220 yards been
eQualed. Neither has been surpassed.
All of which should prove that Bernie
Wefers was some marvel in tn"

WILLIAMSON'S RECORD

Babe Ruth equaled Ed Williamson's :
record of four home runs IN three
games when he twice hit for the cir
cult in yesterdays game against the
Red Sox in Boston. Ruth had already
made homers on Tuesday and We'd
nesday. The one-time Chicago Colts
player established his mark back in
1884. Williamson got one four-bag-
ger off Burlington, two off Jim
Whitney, and one off the great Char
ley Radbourne. Incidentally, 1t also
was Ruth, who with twenty-nine home
runs for last season, smashed Will
liamsons mark of twcnty-seven.
Yesterdays two home runs gives
Babe a total OF five in as many

For all these years since 1912 the
heroic Wislander has declined to take
prizes he could not win in fair compe-
tition. He declined to take them on
