Burnhom Is Far Back,

In Thrilling 900
BY HAROLD CLAASEN,

Boston's self Furnishing pastor
broke the listed world record for the
indoor competitive mile tonight by
running the distance in 4:07.3 at
the Knights of Columbus games at
Madison Square Garden.
The new time is one-tenth of a
second below the mark which Glenn
Cunningham set in 1888 at the same
meet and later was equaled by Les
lie MacMitchell and Chuck Fenske
However, Cunningham once trav-
eled a mile in 4:044 on the huge
plank oval at Dartmouth. The
mark is not generally recognized
because it requires only 51a laps to
the mile in contrast to the IL laps
in the Garden.
Outraces Burnham by 80 Feet.
Dodds, who took over the lead
at the second lap and finished &C
feet in front of Don Burnham OF
dartmouth, varied his style tonight
and did not run his usual soaring
mid-half mile. He reached the
quarter mark pole in 1:02.8 and
then pounded on to the 88O-yard
marker in zoos. He kept the same
even pace until the three-quarter
which he reached in 1904.
While Burnham, who took over
the second position in the eighth
time around the boards, cut into
Dodds' margin slightly in the last
quarter an assist must be credited
to the 10000 spectators who stood
in their seats and cheered the presi-
dent of Master Milers, Inc, to his
record.
The win was the sixth of the sea-
son for Dodds, Nebraska born
athlete who got his college coach
ing by mail from Lloyd Hahn, an
other Nebraskan, who won the same
race in 1927 and 1928.
The three timers caught Dodds in
different times, one registering
4:07.2, another in 4:07.3 and the
third in 4:07.4.
After hanging within striking dis
tance of Dodds through the first
half, Bill Hulse faded badly and re-
quired all his sprint to save third
from Rudy Simms. New York Uni
versity freshman.
Herbert Wins BY Breath.
James Herbert of New York, de-
feated John T. Fulton of the San
Francisco Olympic Club, in the 600
yard run in one of the most thrilling
races of the year.
Their duel down the final
straight-away pulled the spectators
out of their seats and the two
reached the tape in the identical
time of 1:13.5 although Herbert
former world recordholder at the
distance was in front by the margin
of deep breath
Fulton reached the quarter in So 5
and was in front virtually all the
rest of the way, Herbert drawing
even and then ahead in the final
strides.
In the Millrose games on the
same floor last month, Fulton
trimmed Herbert by a more robust
margin in 1:12.1.
