HKllK we have the championship rifle team of the 17th infantry stationed at Fort Crook. This team, representing Company B. cap tured the regimental championship in nn Indoor competition with 700 men. Kach member of the team is a crack shot w’lth the rifle, but the Individual star is Sgt. P. F. Moller strom, the company’s top kick. When Mollerstrom returned to the 17th in fantry last October it became almost a mortal cinch that Company B would capture the regimental honors as Mollerstropi is one of the best rifle and pistol marksmen jn the entire country. Holds World's Record. So many medals for marksman ship has Mollerstrom that he can't get them all on his blouse and when the above photograph was taken he could find room only for 14 of them. In all he has 21 medals, pot count ing his army medals for expert rifle marksmanship and expert pistol marksmanship. Mollerstrom has represented the army at the last two national rifle matches, shooting on the Infantry teams. He holds one world’s record and one national championship. He made the worlds record last year n& Fort Niagara, N. Y., in the army qualification course, scoring 340 out of a possible 330 and beating the previous record by three. His na tional championship was won at Camp Henning, Mollerstrom won the two-man team championship. Never Misses. Mollerstrom also holds a distin guished marksman medal, an un usuaI honor. To earn this medal it is necessary to win three legs, lie von two legs in the national in dividuals and one leg as a member of the Infantry team. Mollerstrom Joined the army in 1016 and before .the year was out he aualifled as an expert marksman despite the fart that never before had he done any target shooting, lie has requalified every year since. In 1017 he qualified as an expert marks man with pistol and also has requall fled each year in this. It is said of Mollerstrom that he can take his pistol, eland 100 yards from a target and shoot out a bulls, eye a little bigger than a silver dollar until his trigger finger gets tired. During the war Mollerstrom was commissioner and served as a lleuten-1 ant overseas. After the war he re signed and re-enlisted as a first sergeant. YESTERDAY’S RESULTS HAVANA.

Star Breaks Own Record for Mile and Half With Time of 6 Minutes and 41 4-5 Seconds. New York. Feb. 1.—<t!y A. P.V— Followers of track and field athletics club games at Madison Square ^ Garden Inst night, are holding their 0 swirling heads to- * day. It w»f a f night unequalled ^ in American In- % door athletics, * four world's and one American in door records being broken. Some who clas sify the fifth shat tered mark also a world's timing, as sert that in point JOlK t of speed, It was ns historical an evening as has been Olympic meetings. The record breakers were Jole Ray of the Illinois A. C. Chicago; Jimmy Connolly, of Georgetown university; Horen Murchison, of St. Touts, and the Newark, N. J. A. C.: Heroy T. Rrown of Dartmouth; Richmond W. Handon, of the New York Athletic club and the Girls’ relay ti.im of the Valcour Athletic club, New York. Not Extended. Ray, the taxi driver of Chicago, ran one of the most sensational races of his long championship career, seeming to ease his way along the route of a mile and a half which he covered 100 yards ahead of his near est follower in the nearly incredulous time of 6 minutes, 41 and 4-5 sec- j onds. At times, the Chicago middle' distance runner seemed to loaf along, so easy and graceful was his stride. At the mile, he had lapped the field. Had he been given keener competi tion, he might have sliced the record to an almost unbelievable margin. The previous mark was his own, six minutes, 42 and 3-5 seconds; he made it last year. The victory meant permanent pos session for Ray of his second Rodman tVanamaker cup. the event trophy. He now has won the race in six out of the last seven years. Because the public is used to seeing Ray smash records, his performance was less astounding than that of Con nolly, a veteran of the boards and cinder paths, who has been a top notcher for years, without achieving a world record. He lowered that for the two-third mile last night from : 2:46 2-5 to 2:43 3 5. Old Record Topples. The bespectacled London. winner of the Olympic running high Jump, and Brown tied for first place in breaking the world record for that event last night, both clearing the bar at 6 feet r»% Inches. Afterwards both tried but failed to break the world outdoor record, neither clearing the bar at 6 feet 7 6-16 Inches. John L. Murphy of Portland, Ore., saw the pair break the record of 6 feet 474 inches that he established last year. He finished fourth - at 6 feet 14 Inches, behind Harold M. Oaborn* of the Illinois Athletio club, who won third place at 6 feet 24 Inches. The Valcour girls broke their own world record of 55 1-5 seconds In winning the 440-yard relay In easy fashion, fin ishing It 62 2-5.. The team members are the Misses M. McCartie. Alice Kel ley. B. A. Dixon and Rose Fisher. Murchison Wins. The fifth record to fall, apparently a world rec(®d, as no other country stages the event, was in the 60-yard dash, which Loren Murchison of St. Louis, captured from a speedy field, led by Bob McAllister, the fastest man on the New York police force. Mur chison lowered the record one-tenth of a second to 6 2-10 seconds. Previously hfe had equaled the old record more than a dozen times, as had 17 other runners who followed In the wake of L. E. Meyers, who creat ed it In 1882. It was the oldest rec ord to fall. * - Will Complete Pairings for 0. A. C.
