Athletes Moving Forward.

RERLIN wasn't ready for any OIym-
pic records, taking into account
track and weather. Yet they broke
more than dozen Olympic records
in the first five days. They even
broke world records under conditions
at times only fair for a seal or an
Eskimo.
Here is proof enough that athleti-
cally we are moving forward in a big
hurry. Most of those records were
cracked by Americans. But other ma
tions horned in. Just how important
it is that the world should be able to
run faster, run longer, jump farther,
throw things farther is something I
wouldn't know. But at least it shows
that when the human race sets itself
along certain lines, it can do much
better than the past ever knew.
Unfortunately, the human race isn't
always smart picker of what is i'm
portant and what is not. 1t isn't far
enough away from the jungle to be
smart.
1t never had the athletes it has
today. This is important as far as
athletics are concerned. At least the
athletes are moving forward. Many
other lines or departments are not.
Some of them are even slipping. Sport
today happens to be one of the main
phases. 1t is one of the big releases
for, crowds searching for an outside
interest apart from the monotony of
existence. AS long as it leads toward
recreation, better physical condition
and a certain amount of discipline, it
has its place.

But what happens? Against these
adverse conditions the 1886 crop in
sists on breaking one Olympic record
after another. They run faster than
they did in Los Angeles. They broad
jump farther and they high jump
higher. They throw the discus and
the hammer farther They run faster
at 100 meters, 200 meters, the sprint
races, and they keep knocking over
Olympic records set only four years
ago.
They even improve time in the
50,000-meter walk, which some early
inquisitor thought up. The only reason
for a 50,000-meter or 30-mile walk is
to see how much punishment the
human race can stand. Yet, through
rain and cold winds, Whitlock of Grea.

Girl Betters Athens Race Time.

JUST what does all this show or
prove? Nothing important. 1t
merely shows the human race happens
to be developing along competitive
lines. 1t isn't developing along the
lines of philosophy. painting, sculpture
poetry, craftsmanship, or other things
ranked well up in a world of culture.
But it is turning out better and better
athletes, which may or may not be
important.
Every weather condition was against
top performances at Berlin. You are
not supposed to be at your best on a
rain-wet track in a drizzle, with raw
winds swishing in. Yet, in spite of
this handicap, they kept bettering old
Olympic records.
1t came to the point where Helen
Stephens, a Missouri girl, ran the 100
meters much faster than Burke, the
winner, did at Athens 40 years ago.
Helen Stephens, a 19-year-old girl,
would have beaten Burke, male Olym-
pic winner at Athens, by several yards.

Query: How will it be possible def

Intent upon the elusive Berwanger, it

into the tackle-and it is exactly at
this time that Miner hits him without
mercy. without any reserve whatever.

MARKS At BERLIN
REVEAL PROGRESS
Rain, Cold Bested as Stars
Beat Records of Ideal
Los Angeles Site.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

N TOT only time, but everything
else marches on.
", I look back to four years
a ago at Los Angeles, when the
Olympic games were on. Los Angeles
had built up the fastest track sport
ever had known. 1t was sort OF bog
peat track. which never could have
survived one days hard rain. But
those directing the Los Angeles show
took the easy gamble that they could
bet on Southern California weather
in the Summer. 1t was much like bet
ting the sun would rise in the morn
ing and set at night.
So Olympic records set at Los An
geles probably would stand for years.
Why not? Here was the pick OF the
world on the worlds fastest track,
under ideal weather conditions
which help no little. In fact, they
help a lot.
The scene now is transferred to Ber-
lin. The Berlin track isn't quite SO
fast as the bog-peat one at Los An
geles. 1t is more durable track and
can take more punishment. 1t can
stand more adverse weather, but II
doesn't lend itself so well to record
time under ideal conditions.

Racing $500, 900 Hobby Yearly
For ".Iust Plain III" Vanderbilt
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,


n IEw YORK. August 26.-Alfred
nj Gwynne Vanderbilt, who pre-
" fers to be called AL" is owner
4 of one of the country's power
full racing stables, but it is an expen-
sive hobby for the 24-year-old sports
man.
When he became of age he took
over the Sycamore Stable from his
mother, Mrs. Grace Amory. He fig
ures it takes nearly 100000 annually
to race horses and run his breeding
farm in the Worthington Valley, Mary
land.
He contrived to break about even
last year when his horses, topped by
Discovery, won $3G3,605 to head the
money-winning list. But two years
ago, his first as an owner, the stable
won only $70.417. This year earnings
total close to $125,00
From a stable that included only
three or four good horses, Vanderbilt
has built it up until his cerise and
white-diamond silks are feared wher-
ever they appear. He has 40 horses
in training in charge of j. H. (Bud)
Stotler, as many yearlings, so brood
mares and two stallions-Balko and
Identify. Discovery will join the
breeding farm this Fall.
Got Discovery for $4,000.
EVEN before reaching his majority,
Vanderbilt stepped into the Sara
toga yearling sales and paid some
of the highest prices for promising
colts and fillies. From w. ]. Salmon
he acquired Discovery, paying $25,-
900 for the son of Display as 2
year -old. The wisdom of the invest
ment is shown by the figures. Discov-

Schwartz. All won their purchase
prices many times over.

for furlongs, was acquired in a
