CTOCKHOLM, August 29.-Fifteen
y American marks, including Bill
Bonthron's 3:488 for l,500 meters
and Glenn Cummingham's 4:06.7 for
the mile, are among the track and
field records accepted by the Congress
of the International Amateur Athletic
Federation as world standards.
The American records given world
recognition:
Shot put-Jack Torrance, 17.40
meters (57 feet 17-32nds inches)
110-meter high hurdles-Percy
Beard, 142 seconds.
400-meter hurdles-Glen Hardin,
50.6 seconds.
220-yard low hurdles--Norman
Paul, % seconds (ties).
High jump-Walter Marty, 206
centimeters (6 feet 9 1-16 inches).
100 meters-Ralph Metcalf, 1913
seconds (tieS).
200 meters-R Ralph Metcalfe, 20.6
seconds (ties).
500 meters-Ben Eastman, 1902.
800 meters-Ben Eastman, 1:48.4.
440 yards-Ben Eastman, 46.4

Shotput, both hands-Jack Tor

Exceptional q. s. Showing.

All but three of the marks-those
credited to Paul in the hurdles and
Metcalfe in the sprints-displace pres
ent records. Those three merely tied
standards already accepted.
It was the finest American showing
in years and definitely returns the
United States to the top of the track
and field heap, not only in number
of world records held, but in the
quality of performance.
Most astounding Of the new records
is the shotput mark of Terrence,
Louisiana State University giant. His
record performance eclipses by feet
1892 inches the old standard of
So feet 77s inches set by z. Heljasz
of Poland in 1882.
Bonthron's performance supplants
the 1892 mark Of Jules Ladoumegue,
Frances now ineligible middle dis
tance star, while Cunningham's record
of 4:06.7 for the mile takes the place
of Ladoumegue's old mark of 1902,
made in 1881.

CLUB has passed fairly def

championship picture for 1885,
Several days ago when the tourney
was offered to Congressional several
club officials thought it could be han
died and would be fine thing for the
club, but on going into the situation
and finding that it would tie up the
golf course for two weeks and become
an expensive undertaking they waxed
lukewarm about it.
AS the situation stands today Con-
gressional may be said to be out of the
bidding field for the 1885 p c. A.
tournament, leaving Kenwood and In
dian Spring as the only local clubs
which are interested. Indian Spring is
anxious to have the affair and can
have it for the asking, according to
al Houghton, who acts as the Wash
ington representative Of the tourna-
ment bureau of the national body.
A guarantee of $500 is necessary to
bring the P. G. A. tourney here, and
of course there are other expenses in
connection with the event. even
though it is more than likely that the
tourney will show small profit to the
club staging it.
II ETTY P. MECKLEY, former wom-
ID ems District champion, would
like to maintain her present golf
ing form for about five weeks longer.
Following a 78 at Indian Spring a
few days ago, Mrs. Meckley shot an SO
yesterday at KenWood to set an unof-
flcial woman's record for the course,
and beat by two strokes the previous
best score made by Virginia Pope and
Mrs. Leo Walper. She was playing
with Al Houghton, the club pro, and
Mrs. A. A. McEntee, the club champion.
Houghton did Ct. Mrs. Meckley
played the mines in 4l-39.

playing in the woman's national tour

she will remain on her game.

Columbia, where Jimmy Drain, a rug

bumped off Peacock in the second

him consistently against Peacock
