Within the last few decades. all thi
established records for events In track
and field sports have been broken. In
fact, the records have been going ir
all the events where it Is possible IL
keep permanent records, according Il
time and distance. It cannot all b.
laid to the improvement in mechanics
devices and the improvement In the
facilities and In the conditions under
which these events are staged today.
Take the sport Of swimming, for
instance. There Is scarcely q week
during the swimming season when
some record or other is not broken.
In fact, II q week passes without
q swimming record being lowered 1t
comes under the head Of news. Some
Of these records are not particularly
important They classify swimming
records according to the style used
by the swimmers, but the fact re-
mains that the humans are hecom-
ing faster and more enduring In
the water, where mechanical devices
are not used; consequently, there are
no mechanical devices to be inn
proved.
As TO base ball and intercollegiate foot
ball, there are no standards by which
the improvement In the breed Of ath.
notion Is that Babe Ruth Is the great.
est base ball player of all time arie
the Babe Is one Of the moderns.
Again, In the matter Of intercollegiate
foot ball, should say that the mod.
ern foot ball player made alert by the
open game Is q decided improvement
upon his husky but dumb predecessor
the player OF the mass momentum for.

The contests at this place are purely
amateur, though there may be an open
contest to which all the professional hog
callers viii be invited.
Among the most proficient hog callers
at Dover Hall is Mr.. Wilbert Robinson
His record for calling hog for distance
still stands. He Is credited with piping
in shote from distance Of two miles
and hundred and flfty-three yards,
across three swarnps and O creek.
The calling for numbers even q
few years ago was won by Big, Bill
Thompson OF Chicago. Mr.. Thomp-
House at Dover Hall called In 80
hogs and four polecats In three calls,
the number allowed in this event.
Because he was guest Of the club
the referee of the contest permitted
him to count the polecatS, though
this Ia not supposed to DO done when
the rules OF ethical hog calling are
observed strictly.
Mr.. Ban johnson former member
OF the club has o unique record, though
1t cannot be called rightfully hog cali
