|Aussie to Race Bonnister
AT Vancouver Next Month

TURKU, Finland. June a.
John Landy. the second man in
history to crash the our-minute
mile barrier. rested today after
his record-shattering 1858 per-
Torrance and announced that he
probably would do no better-at
least for this year.
81 have kept my present top
shape for more than nine
months" the 24-year-old Aus
tralian said. Now ! believe some
sort Of reaction win set in. I
think I have done what I can
for this year"
But he left no doubt that he
was looking forward to his duel
next month with Roger Bannis-
ter Of England, whose 1894
performance he surpassed In the
blazing sun Of Turku Stadium
yesterday. The two are to meet
in the British Empire Games at
Vancouver, British Columbia.
Bannister crashed the barrier
May 6.

"I'm almost too happy to be
able to speak" added Landy.
whose breathtaking career has
included nine mile races Of under
4:03. 'If it hadn't been for Chris
Chataway chasing me around
the track. I never would have
made it.
ST knew he was Immediately
behind me and that he would not
hesitate to pass me if I slowed
up the very least"
Ironically, Chataway. an Eng
lishman, was the runner who
pushed Bannister to his 1894
effort.
In the process Of breaking the
mile record, Landy also lowered
the world 1,500-meter mark to
3:41.S. Both records must be
recognized by the international
Amateur Athletic Federation.
Chataway was almost as en-
thusiastic as Landy.
"Landy Is the miller Of the
year, maybe of many years." the
British pacemaker said, Ban
mister should have been here to
match Landy, not me-"
Praise From BanniSter.
In London. where he still is
working on his medical degree,
BanniSter took the news OF
Landy's race with his usual calm.
"It is q wonderful achieve
ment," he commented. "Landy
has tried as hard as any one to
run the mile under four minutes
and ! am glad he has succeeded.
This shows there is no f1nality
in records. They can all be
broken"
Some experts, meanwhile, were
talking of the possibility of an
other record when the two meet
next month.
THAT will be a race" smiled
| BanniSter, sand the time will
be of secondary consideration. ]
don't really expect Landy's time
will be broken there
Landy still has three more
races to run in his tour of Scan
dinavia and he limited that he
was not giving up on another
record.
Maybe I have done what is
my limit" he said. But that
will not prevent me from run

advised by Bucky: IF you find

them from digging in against

"I'll probably get SieverS back
in action against the White Sox. "
Harris said. Hes been having
a terrible time of it recently but
when he's right he's more of a
threat than anybody we have
sitting on the bench. It's a
