Trouble Is Ahead.
For Cunningham
BY DAVIS J. WALSH


international NetDs Service Sports
Editor
NEW YORK, June 1S.-Two
weeks ago, Glenn Cunningham
could have done worse than IS
seconds for his last quarter and
broken the world record for the
mile on what amounts to prac-
tice track. Today, I'm not only
picking somebody to run under
the record of 4:O6 $40 at the
Princeton Invitation Mile tomor-
row, I won't even take 4:06. In
fact, I'll settle for 4:04, give or
take a fraction.
don't say who will do 1t, only
that Cunningham can. He proved
that at TraverS Island, with
lumpy cinders, sharp curves and
no competition, two Saturdays ago
when he ran to a little worse than
800 for a new record at three.
quarters. TraverS Island averages
at least two seconds slower than
Princeton'S track to the mile.
Assume as Much
Considering the fact that the
man wasn't running to the dis.
lance that day, but was pacing his
way through a one-man race-the
half was slow, 1:58-;-and that he
had a great deal left at the end,
we must assume this much: that
at least one of the five starters at
Princeton now Is in a position
where he can take the record book
and put figures in it that will stay,
without benefit Of bold face caps.
It's worth adding that, when
Cunningham can, he generally
does. He broke on top, paid no
further attention to Bonthron and
Venzke, made his own race and
won by 40 yards in setting the pres:
ent record at Princeton a few
years ago.
There are two men in the race
this time who may dissuade him
from following this as set and
prearranged program, but they will
do so for widely diSsimilar reasons.
One of them is Archie San Ro.
mani, last years winner who pre-
dicted he'd do a 2:02 final half
and did exactly that.
HE turned around in the

son Robertson said afterward.
Anyhow, the mans a great kick

Of that kind, may not want to go
to front until after the half.

EDINBURGH, May 12.-Old tradi-
tions dating back to days when the
Stuarts sat on the throne at Scone
are being observed throughout Scot
land for the coronation of George VI
and his Scottish Queen, Elizabeth.
Chains of bonflres on the hills stir
the old clans; historic pageants, sports
festivals, largesse among the poor,
these, together with fetes and enter
tainments, mark the new reign.
Edinburgh, the old capital Of SCOT
land, is gay with flags, bunting and
roundels, and will stay gay for two
months. On July their majesties
will visit Scotland for brilliant state
functions, including courts at the
ancient Palace Of Holyrood House.

LONDON, May 12.-Mists Of men,
ory, swirling out of the past, mo-
mentarily dinmed the eyes Of 60
year-old Queen Mother Mary today
for the coronation Of her second old
est son in the soft-ht splendor Of
Westminster Abbey.
No one denied the proud and state
ly old Queen the right to yield to
emotion. For the coronation of George
vi was to Queen Mary, magniflciently
robed, with half-million dollar
diadem agleam on her head, a time Of
both pride and sorrow, both happiness
and pain.
1t was the past as we'll as the fu-
ture which paraded before her. In
the solemnity and majesty Of the oc-
casion. the pulsating music, the sonor-
Gus intonation Of familiar words, the
ringing of bells and the echo of
guns, she watched and listened to the
role Of onlooker-where once she had
participated and experienced.

LONDON, May 12.-They danced
George the sixth's coronation into his
tory today in one Of the maddest spins
this grimy old city ever saw.
At dawn an estimated million spec-
tators struggled for vantage points
over the forms OF thousands sleeping
on the sidewalks and in the cutters
along the Smile parade route.
Two million more soon swelled their
ranks. They were late sleepers. They
didn't get up until am.
They poured into the jammed West
End like flies.
Then came the special trains from
the provinces, and London's vast SUBJ
way system poured hundreds Of thou
sands more into an area long crowded
past the saturation point.

turn the coronation street scene into
chaos, with literally millions gropinR
like myopic moles through the mist,
lifted at daybreak. But the sky re-
