N YEW YORK, June 18.-The

fornia Ben Eastman'S Sensa-
tional mile mark of 1:49.8-
while America once more can

ard distances from 100 yards to
the mile.
In rapid succession Saturday after
noon on the hghtning-fast Princeton
away from Bill Bonthron, his Tiger
rival. to bring the mile record back
to the United States after Eastman
had wiped out all existing 880-yard
records with a 5-yard triumph over
Indiana's great Charley Hornbostel,
who also was inside the best previous
mark with 1907 performance.
Thus, for the first time since 1928,
America can claim the fastest foot
racers at each of these classic dis
tances. Long this country's pride and
Joy, the mile record was snatched
away by the feet Paavo Nurmi of
Finland IL years ago Nurmi's time
was 4:10.4. Subsequently it passed
to Jules Ladoumegue of France, at
409.2, and last July at Princeton was
lowered to 4:07.6 by Jack Lovelock,
the slim new zealander running for

Still in Peltzer's Name.

"HE half-mile record still officially
stands on the books to the
credit of Germany's Dr. Otto
PeltZer, at 1915, set in 1925, but
Eastman finished the job that he and
Hornbostel have been working. The
American youngsters each had been
clocked previously in 1909, but
there's no argument now that the
blond Californian Is entitled to the
world record honors. Against run
ner who never had been beaten be-
fore at the distance, Eastman on Sat-
urday ran the greatest race of his
career as he capped the climax of a
wonderful comeback this Spring.
Any one might suppose our lads
would be willing to rest on their
laurels for the time being, but such
is not the case, Cunningham, hopping
plane to make a cross-country train
connection, is on his way to Los
Angeles to defend his national COL
legiate A. A. one-mile championship
this Saturday. Hornbostel will be
there. too, to defend the $50 crown,
which he won by beating Cunning
ham last year. Both will return to
Milwaukee the following week end
for the National A. A. U. champion
ships, where it is expected they will
meet Bonthron and Eastman again.
Eastman remains this week in New
York, while Bonthron will rest up at
his home in Detroit.

Bonthron's Case Puzzles.

n ONTHRON'S failure to give Cum
ID ningham any real competition
Saturday was the big surprise Of
the all-star Princeton meet. Tiger
Bill was caught mapping by Cunning
hams blazing third-quarter pace or
else simply unable to match it. At
any rate he was so far behind, start
ing the last lap, that his famous
finishing kick" even If he had pro-
duced II. would not have done him
much good. He was 40 yards behind
Cunningham and timed in 4:12.5,
with Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania
third. There is no doubt Bonthron
can do better, since he covered the
mile in 4:08.7 against Lovelock last
year, but he does not compare with
Cunningham as master of pace.
Cunningham now has the distinc-
tion of having run the mile three
times in less than 4:10, a feat that no
other runner in the world has done.
The human Cavalcade from Kansas
was Clocked in 4:09.8 at the national

pears to have a strangle-
hold on the team championship of
the Washington clubs this year.
Chevy Chase has amassed a total of
561a points, IA points in front of its
nearest competitors and with only
three matches to go seems to have the
team tourney sewed up.
The next series of matches will be
played at Columbia on June 26, with
Columbia, the champions, meeting
Chevy Chase in a battle that will
come fairly close to deciding the is
sue for this year. Congressional, Co.
lumbia and Kenwood are making
brave bids for the lead, but they have
been unable to catch the flying Chevy
Chase team which sprang into a lead
early in the season and has remained
there ever since
The indications are that by July 10,
when first teams meeting in one of
the final jousts of the season at Con-
gressional, the championship may be
won, and that the final match on
July "a at Indian Spring will have no
bearing on the standing Of the first
place team.
Undaunted by spits of rain and
threats of more rain during the day,
more than 10 women golfers started
today at the Columbia Country Club
