Ord Fink. who had won the Eastern
title twice before and earned an alter
mates berth on the 1886 Olympic
team.
The sturdy cadet from Mount Holly
N. j., rushed Fink from the opening

HERBERT BETTERS
WORLD 500 MARK
Whips Cunningham, Who
Runs Second Best Indoor
Mile in K. of c. Games.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, March ia world
record-smashing 6oo-yard performance
by Jimmy Herbert tonight proved too
much for Glenn Cunningham after
the sturdy Kansan had run the Sec
ond fastest indoor mile in history at
the Knights of Columbus games in
Madison Square Garden
Seeking one of tracks most diff
cult doubles, Cunningham finished
third. 2 yards back, as Herbert reeled
off the distance in I'LL to better
Chuck Hofnbostel's international
standard of lib. Howie Borck of
Manhattan split the slim New York
University Negro and the champion
miller. who was running the GOO for
the first time in his colorful career.
After jumping the gun twice, Cum
ningham was left at the post. He
trailed for two laps and then started
u kick. The kick that had carried
him over the mile an hour earlier in
4:07.4 was not enough, however, to
catch the front-running Herbert and
Borck, who a week ago whipped the
New York University runner in 1:l2.
Mile Race All Glenn's.
Peerless Glenn tried to close in on
the rail at the start Of the bell lap, but
tripped slightly. BY the time he re-
covered the door was closed and he
was forced to take to the outside. He
jumped Douglas Raymond of Boston
University, but did not have what 1t
takes to pass the other two. Wesley
Wallace of Fordham dropped out soon
after the start.
BY contrast, Cunningham had the
mile almost all to himself. He started
in front, after Archie San Romani had
been forced out on the first lap with
a strained leg muscle, and finished 30
yards in front of Gene Venzke of the
New York A. C. Peter Bradley, Prince
tons I. c. "A champion, was third.
The mile victory, achieved before a
crowd of $4,000. gave the Kansan his
ninth mile under 4:10 during seven
years of challenging in major compe-
tition and his thirteenth triumph of
the season. Indoors the time had been
beaten only by his own world record
OF 4:04.4, made at Dartmouth last
week. Outdoors there are only three
better times on record.
They are Sydney Woodersen's world
mark of 1904, Cunningham's 4:06.7,
and 4:07.2 made by Don Lash and San
Romani in finishing in near dead
neat at Princeton last Summer.
Tolmich Sets Hurdle Mark.
The two great performances by Cum
nngham and Herbert were the high
spots OF the meet that saw Allan Toll
mich of Wayne University establish
a new world record for the 60-yard
hurdles, and Columbia's Ben johnson
and Lash lose in their specialties for
the first time this year. Tolmich
lowered the hurdles mark by two
tenths Of second when he cleared the
five barriers in 7.3 in the final after
he and Sam Allen of Bristow, Okla,
had tied the old mark twice each in
the preliminary heats
johnson bowed to Herbert ThOmp-
son Of the New York Pioneer Club in
the 60-yard dash after winning his
preliminary heat in 81 to better the
listed world record of 60. Lash fell
before Norman Bright when the San
Francisco Olympic Club runner let
loose with last-lap kick that carried
him to the finish Of the 2 miles in
9:02-the fastest time of the year.
Only inches separated the pair.
