4.Minute Mile
Swede Makes FIoshy
Finish; 4:04.6 His
9TH World Mark
BY the Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. S.
A sudden shower just before Gunder
Haegg took the track may have
robbed the Swedish runner Of the
first 4-minute mile.
AS it was, the slender fireman
whirled over the soggy Stockholm
stadium cinders last night in 4:066
for the fastest competitive mile on
record. His time is surpassed only
by the 4:044 of Glenn Cunningham,
made on the outsized Dartmouth
board oval with a trio Of pace
settlers.
The shower almost kept Haegg
from running, but officials prevailed
upon him to keep his promise of
"a hours earlier in which he said he
would try for a new mark. That
promise lured approximately $1,000
spectators to the stadium, despite
the threatening weather.
Makes Flashy Finish.
Haegg galloped through the first
440 yards in So seconds and finished
the half mile in 200 before the soft
going and the high humidity slowed
him down. A fantastic finish, how
ever, carried him over the final ITO
yards in Is seconds.
1t was the seventh time in two
months that Haegg had bettered a
world mark and the second time
he had shaved the record in the
mile. On July 2 he lowered Sgd
ney Wooderson's listed 4:06.4 to
4:06.2. His other achievements were
at 1900, 1000 and 5000 meters and
at 2 miles. He has broken the 1000
meter mark twice.
Second to Haegg last night was
Seidenschnur, best of Germany's
middle distance men, while third
place went to Spaangert, Swede.
Seidenschnur was timed at 4:15.8.
Because of Haegg's promise to break
the record, three timers were used
and the track measured to insure ap-
