DENVER, Colo, July 6. UP>-
The effect Of Dcnver's mile hign
altitude on athletes is bad-for The
records.
As several hundred of the coun-
try's greatest track and field stars
Journey back to their homes today,
officials of the National A. A. L.
are beginning the arduous task of
rewriting the record books.
The third and closing day of the
1929 meet started off with some
events about as exciting as digging
eellar-thc decathlon grind-and
wound up with the dislocation Of
two world IS records, the read justing
of two meet marks to more mod
ern model and the spectacle of the
king of all-around athletes having
to break an American record to re
tain his crown, which is just what
Kenneth Doherty, Cadillac A. c.,
Detroit, did. And to prove that he
IS the best in the world he closed
the performance with a 1,500 meter
run.
Ten events-in one day-and
ranging from the pole vault to the
shotput-that s the new decathion.
They used to give man two day 5
in which to DC it,
Doherty dogged his way through
20 grand total Of 7,784:69 points,
which is more than was ever garn-
cred in this country before.
Los Angeles A. C., came to the
meet primed to win both junior and
senior championships. They muffel
both and then carried off the honors
of the closing day s relays with 16
points, set new world IS quartcr
mile relay record, showed that
Charley Paddock still can run and
otherwise ingratiated themselves.
The time for the quarter was 4l.0
seconds.
Herman BriX, Young giant who
wore the Los Angeles blue, helped
the Pacific Coast to laurels when
he rewrote the eight pound shot
record at 81 feet, II IL inches,
eclipsing by inches the hallowed
mark set by his fellow Californian,
Ralph Rose, back in 1907.
Colcred Star Wins
New York A. c. waited until the
sun was sinking behind the moun-
tains. to break the record in the mile
relay. The record now reads three
minutes, II seconds, and the Goth
antics had to do it to win. The
mark grasses an objectional siH
tenth5 Of second from the old
score.
Sprint honors for the meet went
to Eddie Tolan, Michigan Univer-
sity's midnight express,'' the
stubby negro star winning the cen
tury Of the century and the 229
