WILLIAMS SPR|NTS
TO CANADIAN MARK
Equals World Record as He
Scores in COWARD Race
at Toronto.
By the Associated Press.

TORONTO, Ontario, February o.
Percy Williams flying feet have
brought him the Canadian ma
i tional indoor 60-yard champion
ship in record-equaling time
The slim Vancouver Splinter, Olympic
100 and 200 meter champion, was
beaten in one of the trial heats of the
go yards at the Canadian national in
door track and field championships
here last night, but came back to win
the final in lis seconds, equaling the
world record.
In the semi-finals, williams, OF to a
bad start, was second by half a foot to
G. D. Powell Of Toronto, a comparative
unknown. Powell failed to place in the
finals, Jimmy Fitzpatrick of Hamilton
being second and L. Miller of Hamilton
third.
The anticipated duel between VIII
liams and Bob McAllister of New York
failed to naterialize, because McAllister
refused to run. The erstwhile flying
cop" said he had entered the event with
the understanding that it would be a
special event, with no qualifying heats.
He said recent illness made 1t i'm
possible for him to engage in more
than one race. McAllister holds one
decision over williams. He beat the
Vancouver flyer in the Olympic 100
meter semi-finals at Amsterdam, but
was sixth in the finals when Williams
won the title.
