With Only Five-Minute Intervals,
Seward Won Ten Races In One Day

run at four minutes, six and seven-tenths Sec
onds.
But will the International Federation = the
ruling body in charge of allowing worlds rec
ords : accept this mark No.
And here is the reason they will not: The
International Federation does not recognize
tenths of a second in the timing of any
over 1000 yards AS far as they are concerned
Glenn ran the mile in four minutes six and
four-ffths seconds-a tenth of second slower
than his actual time!
Jesse Owens, phenomenal runner that he is
is believed by most people to be the fastest run
ner who ever lived There is tendency among
track and field fans to discount everything that
ever happened in the past, but records show
that at least two professional runners were ca
pable of speed which would leave the outcome
of race against Jesse Owens in considerable
doubt.
rHE first of these. George Seward was a
! New England boy who attained his athletic
prime nearly a hundred years ago. Unable to
find anyone in America capable of giving him
a good race, he went to the country that was
then the leading athletic nation of the world
England There were no Olympic Games in those
days. and no electric timing with motion-picture
finishes. However, England was the home of the
greatest athletes the professional footracers of
1910. The timers used stopwatches which had
been developed for horse racing and were
marked in seconds and fourths of seconds. You
may be sure that they did not give this visiting
American any the best of it.
When Seward landed on English soil, he chal-
lenged Fowler and few other leading sprinters
and beat them all. Then he issued a challenge
the like of which has never been seen since
and probably never will be seen again.
He challenged the ten best runners in Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland He agreed to run
against all ten of them separately, with five
minute intervals between races. He put up a
stake of one hundred pounds on each individual
race and further stake of one thousand
pounds that he would win all ten of them.
In American money that came to a total of
about ten thousand dollars, in a day when
money was many times as valuable as it is now.
In the first seven races, Seward won easily
In the eighth, he was leading half way down
the track when somebody threw barrel stave
between his feet, tripping him, injuring his leg,
and throwing him to the ground. His rival
passed him, flying. Seward got up. He put on
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-28

is sure that Doc williams could have made it
hot for Jesse Owens anybody else at hun
dred yards
OF course with flying start, men run
faster than that. Charley Paddock did
better than nine fiat for hundred yards with
a flying start.
Speaking of flying starts, one team that won
a championship at the Penn Relays had a
worlds record flying start for the event 1t was
the Union, N. j., relay team, in the high school
division. The team of Smith, Grimes, Daley and
Maher arrived late by train at the West Phila-
delphia station, some little distance from Frank
lin Field There wasn't taxi to be had. The
boys ran all the way from the station to Frank
lin Field, around the track, and ran off
with the race.
The captain, Maher didn't even have time to
pin his number on his jersey
That was one relay team that came through,
and Michigans is another. Last season they
pulled the Michigan team from defeat to victory
several times; four times in conference compe-
tition in less than year. The relay team won
two state A. A. u titles, Butler Relay title
and three conference championships
The string of remarkable rescues began when
Michigan's track squad went into the mile relay
at the Butler Relays, needing victory to win
the meet. The relay team came through Then,
gan entered the relay one-haf point behind
Ohio State. Stiles Patton, Aiken and Birleson
delivered the goods with conference rec
ord of minutes 1872 seconds the fastest relay
ever run east of the Rockies.
The relay team then won the meet from In
diana, and in the indoor championships of the
Big Ten in 1885, Wisconsin led Michigan by
one and quarter points, but more Michi-
gans relay quartet came to the rescue with
another conference championship performance.
Aside from the Pacific Coast Conference the
Big Ten is probably the strongest of any in
track and field There was some talk last year
of matching teams composed of champion ath-
letes of these two conferences this season, and
the idea was actually proposed to Dean Crom-
well, U. S. c. coach, by Big Ten authorities.
The meet would certainly be great one, al
though the Big Ten has lost Jesse Owens, who
was good for four first places. Jesse is now a
professional
One of Americas most remarkable athletes
was a MiddleWesterner, Harold Osborn. For
a long time he held the worlds high jump rec.
ord, but that is not his greatest performance.
Last year, at the age of 49, Osborn tried to
add to his list of 20 national and Olympic
championships He high-jumped six feet six
inches, which is only quarter of an inch less
than the great indoor record he set II years
before He did, at 49, later surpass the worlds
record for the standing high-jump.
Wonder what he'll do at 4s?

entitle him to some consideration was R. p.
DOC" Williams. He never raced under condi-
tions which would scientifically prove his speed.
All we have is the word of five competent tim
ers, using five tested stopwatches that he ran
the 100 once in nine seconds fat and several
times in nine and one-fifth seconds. He also
was New England boy.
It is sad fact but true that many of the
oldtime professional records were unreliably
made and unreably timed, because there was
no governing body of professional sport and
every town wanted to have a worlds record.
Nevertheless, no other athlete ever claimed to
come close to Doc Williams marks, and the
timers could have been off a bit and Williams
still could have been the worlds fastest runner.
At any rate, giving those five timers credit, it

Jesse OWENS the 100-y dash in nine
~ and three-tenths seconds last season, but
his record was not allowed. When the track
measured after the race the 100-yard dash
proved to be just three-ffths of an inch short
of 100 yards
Trivial as that may seem-it wouldn't have
made any difference in the timng-the officials
can't afford to allow any records made over
short tracks. If they did, the question would
arise: How short may the track be, and still
be official? Six inches short Eight inches
short? A foot short?" And an
swer had been made you may rest assured that
all the tracks in the country would be short
ened just as much possible in order that
the fastest times would be made over them.
comic instance of measuring trouble oc-
Cured in the Knights of Columbus Games at
New York City in 1881. Worlds records fell in
almost every event. The crowd gasped. The Off
cials beamed. Then it was discovered that
slight error of Is yards had been made
in measuring the distances to be run. Ira Singer,
New York sprnter, clipped a full second off
the worlds 60-meter dash record and then beat
the S0-meter mark by another full second. And
wonder! If they had cut much more yardage
off the course, he would have had to run back
wards.
Sometimes the measurements are correct,
records broken by the dozen, but some
OLHer feature Is at IdulC Al a soviet SWIM
ming meet three four years ago, the dis
tances were all carefully and accurately meas
ured the timing was good; the swimmers were
in fine shape and the crowd appauded as record
after record was smashed Then one intelligent
observer spoiled the fun by pointing out that the
swimmers were swimming downstream. The
meet was held a river and the engineers
who laid out the course logically reasoned that
it would be unfair to the swimmers to make
them swim upstream!
A MOTHER peculiar situation which arises in
~ allowing worlds records is which now
confronts Glenn Cunningham. Glenn, you re-
member, set the worlds mile run record in
race at Princeton in 1894. The course was ac-
curately measured, the timing was official in
every way, there was no wind there were no
fouls committed during the race, all the con-
testants were recognized amateurs. In short,
everything was in perfect order, so the A. A. u.
lost no time in giving him recognition and credit
for setting new worlds record for the mile

a squirt that drew an amazed gasp from the
partisan crowd overlook his rival, and broke
the tape first
The last two races were repetitions of his
first seven easy victories, and Seward collected
the full ten thousand dollars
Now what were some of his times? Well, he
ran the 1OO-yard dash on slow track, with
out proper running shoes, in nine and one-fourth
seconds. Jesse Owens record is nine and four
tenths seconds about three-twentieths of
second slower. However, allowing Jesse credit
