Record of 1::50 3-5 Presages

PARIS, July 14.-Running 500 meters
a full second faster than the efiicial
world record for the distance, Seraphin
Martin. French middle distance ace,
gave his country's Olympic stock a big
boost at the Colonies Stadium today,
Finishing alone 30 yards ahead Of the
second man, Martin was forced to make
his own pace for the last 400 meters,
believable time of / so SIS. The world
record now on the book is I 81 3-5, set
by DR.. Otto Peltzer OF Germany in
1925.
The Notwithstanding performance
came as great surprise as Martin fin-
ished In second place in his qualifying
heat few hours before in slow time.
The weather was extremely hot and
the 1924 Olympic Stadium track light
ming fast.
Larocf1e. a fast 400-meter runner,
started of with Martin in the final
heat as IL competing at his usual dis
lance, and was clicked as close to 81

with Martin yard behind and running

he turned in the stretch to see how far

No other noteworthy performance oc-
CURED on the FIRST day of the French
championships. but Jules Ladoumegue,
another French star, announced he
would try for the 500-meter record to-
morrow, the closing day.
Martins great run not only knocked
second of the official standard for
800 meters. but also bettered by four
fifths of second the record-breaking
time of Lloyd Hahn, American star, in
winning the 800-meter event at the
final Olympic trials for the United
States team at Cambridge, July z.
1t Is the latest and most sensational
in remarkable series of performances
beginning with DR.. Peltzer's 1851 3-5
In England in 1926, which ohliterated
Ted Meredith's famous mark of
/ 81 9-l0. which had stood since the
Olympic games of 1912. and continuing
with the achievements of Hahn and
Martin, each faster than the one before.
These three-the worid-recerd holder
and two who have beaten his mark
are to represent their countries In this
