THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 14, 1909.
ATHLETIC RECORD BREAKERS
New Marki Made on Track and Field
for 1909.
ATHLETES LOOK FOE SOFT SPOTS
Half Mile, l-Fon Hammer and
lA-Poaad Bhat the Only itaad
ar4 Heeord to Be" Al-"
tered.
That the athletic season of 1H09 will rank
well with the. chronicle there la no douht,
and though there were no Olympic games
or International fixtures to stimulate the
athletes, a number1 of new marks will be
recorded on the annals. A majority of
those are for odd events and some old
stager performances that have remained
untried on the lists for years, but it is '
remarkable- that three . standard charm
plonshlp contents got a. bad shaking.
The sixteen pound shot record was shat
tered twice under official scrutiny and the
mark for .the .sixteen pound hammer was
improved no less than half a doien times,
but the most meritorious of all was the
new half mile record, and it Is a pity that
a doubt hovers round the genuineness of
the feat. Except the runner duplicates the
figures at some future date there will al
ways be a shadow of suspicion thrown
over it and It will be regarded much the
same' as the record for the 100 yards.
Of course, the half mile mark will be
accepted by the Amateur Athletic union
record cpmmittee, which has been supplied
with. a raft of material proof In the shape
of affidavits as to the timing of the race,
the measurement of the track and other
details. One of the leading features of the
year's campaign waa the visit of the New
York, Athletic club team to the Pacific
coast, the. Amateur Athletlo union cham
pionships at Seattle and tha triple
meet at San Francisco being tha chief
points' of the itinerary. Though the men
did not capture tha biggest slice of the
honors they showed the enterprise of the
winged foot in being the first team from
the east to make such a Journey.
Keep VP Popularity.
printing, maintained Ha popularity dur
ing the season, though (here Waa noth
ing startling In the .way of new figures
for the standard events, and with one
exception for ;the Intermediate distances.
The mark -of M seconds for the 100
yards remained high and .dry on its pin
nacle of 'seourity, and neither here nor In
the old ;world was It In tha leaat danger
of being displaced. Walker's visit to Eng
land resulted in his winning Uie champion
ship,. , and that and his subsequent top
notch effort only showed the even 10
seconds for the "century."
For a time It waa thought that the South
African flyer would pay a visit to America,
and there was all sorts of wild calcula
tions about his meeting Jim Rector of the
University of Virginia. But Walker did
not come and Rector did not run, facts
which were greatly regretted. Neither
did the district or Amateur Athletic union
championship's reveal anything above the
ordinary and only mediocre form was ex
hibited. Even in races shorter than the hundred
there Is nothing new, and the old marks
for, twenty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five,
f If ty, fifty-one, fifty-seven, sixty, seventy,
seventy-five, seventy-eight and eighty yards
remain unaltered. Above the hundred the
only old mark to be dlstured wasthat of
13 seconds for 130 . yards, made by
Wendell Baker at Harvard on May 23, 1886.
At one of the Indoor meets In the Forty
seventh regiment of Brooklyn, Robert
Cloughen of the , Irish-American Athletlo
club ran the distance on the board floor In
12 seconds, but while Cloughen's mark Is a
new Indoor reoord, it does not supplant
Baker' time out-of-doors.
New Names on Hobo List.
The Intermediate distances between the
100 yards and 220 yard passed unscathed,
and the names of B. J. Wefers, C. H.
KherrUl and Wendell Baker, respective
holders of old records, will adorn the scroll
of fame for at least another season. For
the furlong nothing like Wefer's Sift
seconds was seen, but the most medltor
ious performance stands to the credit of
W.. L. Dawbarn of Prlnoeton university,
who represented the New Tork Athletlo
club In the Amateur Athletic union national
championships at Seattle. With a stiff gale
blowing In his face he won his trial heat
In 22 seconds, which was as good as 21
under fair conditions. NaiT J. Cartmell,
formerly of the University of Pennsylvania
and who lately turned professional, visited
England and won tha 220 yards champion
ship In 22 seconds, whioh Is the best cham
"plonshlp over there, though It is a fifth of
a second slower than the British record.
" The &U0 yards was frequently seen both
on the Indoor and outdoor programes, but
the top speed shown was yards behind the
old record of 30 seconds, made by'Wefer
la 18U6. In England a young runner named
E. 11. Haley showed some form for the
distance by doing 31 seconds at the annual
full .games of the London Athletlo club,
and these figures held the British record,
held Jointly by Lieutenant Halswell and
C. G. Wood.
Borne Tricks Passed I'p,
Though the sprinters were out for soft
spot on the record table here and ii.crc,
yet no one tried such an old stager as So
seconds for the 330 yards made by Lon
Myers, twenty-eight years ago; neither did
tbey- attack the 360 yard mark of 3G sec
'ouds aiwl the 400 yard mark of 42 seconds,
both made by Maxey Long. These were
made iu the course of kla famous 440 yard
record of 47 seconds, a feat that looks as If
It might grow mouldy in the niche of fame
ere it will be replaced. Long' circular
track record of 47 seconds will take some
beating. It has easily outshone all the
efforts of the long sprint brigade for the
last nine years, and except some phenom
springs up or that some tricks might be
perpetrated with slow watches and short
tracks, it should hold Its own for another
generation.
But It Is hard to know what is bound
lo turn up In these sensational years of
iltletlo record grabbing erase. For In
stance there was a positive case of the
unexpected this year at the Canadian
championships at Montreal. W. C. Bob
bins won the 440 yards in the
' slashing time of 4 seconds, and for a
moment the world stood aghast at
the amasing turn of speed sud
denly shown by this runner. His case was
perhaps the most peculiar In the history
of athletics, . for his speed gradually de
serted him, and the climax came a couple
. of weeks ago when he was beaten In the
wretchedly slow time of ii seconds
by a young runner named Hayes.
However, Bobbins' time must go down aa
the best of the year and the nearest to the
reeoidu .
-Nest Best DUtaace.
The next most popular distance nearest
to the quarter Is the 6U0 yards, and for
It a bit of exceptionally fast work was
reported by Clarence Edmundson of the
Seattle Athletic club, the national half
nit champion. Around tha middle of
August he was clocked to do 1 minute
10 seconds, and this 1 of a second
faster than the world's record made by
Tommy Burke In 1SS6. . How genuine the
record authorities regard the figure no
bedy will know for a few days, but If ever
there was a man likely for such deed
Kdnnmdson Is the man. In England E.
II. Montague once rsn In 1 minute 11 sec
onds, but the conditions under which the
rare was run are nrt very clear.
The old record of 1 minute 31 seconds
for the TOO yards standing on the books
to the credit of the late Lon Myers since
!?. was altered by Lunirhl, the Italian
comet, who did 1 minute 27 seconds.
There is hardly a comparison, however,
for Myers' record was made during the
progress of a half mile race, while Lunghl
only ran the exact 700 yards. Subse
quently Lunghl attacked another easy
record In the two-thirds of a mile by
W. O. Qoerge. -The time was I minutes
4X seconds, It being the first two-thirds
of his memorable mile race against Myers
when the Englishman won In the then
American record time of 4 minutes 21
seconds, and It was something worth re
membering, that the snow had to be swept
off the track that afternoon. Lunghl ran
the exact two-third of the mile and his
time was 2 minutes 4E seconds, beating
the American record. In the month of
June, 1582, George did 2 minutes 45 seconds
at Llllle Bridge, London, and this Is still
the world' record.
Of all the track events the half mile fur
nished the real episodes of the season In
the thrilling tussle for the national cham
pionship at Seattle and the new record at
the Canadian champlor rhip at Montreal.
E. Lunghl, the Italian champion, represent
ing the Irish Amateur Athletlo club, ran
the SS0 yards at the latter meeting In 1
mlnuto 52 seconds, a world's record, sup
planting the old mark of 1 minute 53 sec
onds, mode by C. II. Kilpatrlck at the
London-New Tork Athletlo club Interna
tional meet September 21, 1895. Hardly
had the man from the sunny clime crossed
the finish line when a wave of suspicion
crept over the land that everything was
not right, and the sceptics drew their con
clusions from two things. These were
that In the race Frank Riley did 1:64 and
up to that time Lunghl had not shown
within seconds of his record.
Anxiety to See Him.
After he made his wonderful burst there
was great anxiety to see him in the half
here, but his astute mentors adroitly kept
him away from that distance. The fall
games of the New York Athletic club of
fered a golden opportunity for Lunghl to
substantiate what he did In Canada, for
the track was good and the day fine, but
he elected to go to the Dominion for an
other record which, never came off, for he
only showed a sbfede better than 1:59. He
started In the 1,000 yard in the Indoor
championship at Madison Square garden,
but pulled up when beaten before the last
turn for. home.. The winner of the race
was Harry Gissing of the New York Ath
letlo club, who made a new Indoor record
of t minutes 18 seconds, and It is a fact
worth the notice that Gissing beat the
Italian every time he met him.
In a 000 yard race at Newark Gissing took
the measure of both Lunghl and M. W.
Sheppard on the same occasion and Inci
dentally made the best outdoor mark
for that distance, doing 1 minute 11 sec
onds. Again at the game of the Monu
ment Athletlo club at Celtic Park, Lunghl
wa heralded to do all sorts of things to
the outdoor record for the 1,000 yards,
which is 2:13, by Lon Myers. This is the
one great record made by Myers which
has withstood the repeated assaults of the
best middle distance men for a generation
even Kilpatrlck at" his best came no
nearer than 2:14 the best effort of the
old world runners being 2:14 by W. E.
Lutyens of Cambridge university In 1898.
Sheppard was opposed to Lunghl when he
made the attempt to wipe Myers, off the
book, but not only did the Iailian fall,
but he was forced to take second place to
Sheppard, who won In a little better than
2:20.
The half mile national championship at
Seattle wa productive of a great race,
even the figure recorded being not a fair
criterion of the real merit of the . per
formance. The winner was Clarenoe Kd-i
mundson and he came home In 1 min
ute 65 seconds, beating Gissing
by about seven yards, but the race was
enhanced greatly by the fact that while
It waa being run there was a strong wind
and a dust cloud, which, at the very
least made a difference. of a couple of
seconds. Edmundson Is a tall ' man with
a great raking stride and la the real race
horse all over. More than a year ago,
when he was a student in the University
of Idaho, he waa credited with doing the
half mile In 1 minute 63 seconds, equal
ling Kilpatrlck' record at the time.
Sinn Tommy Conneff.
During the year none of the crack
aspired to take a fall out of the record
for the three-quarters of a mile by Tommy
Conneff, the figure of 3 minute 2
seconds being on the books since 1S96.
The mile record of 4 minute 16 second,
aUo by Conneff, was not approached, but
there were two firstrate performances at
the distance. The first occurred indoors,
at the annual game of Columbia uni
versity, Madison Square Garden, on Feb
ruary 13, when Herbert L. Trube of the
New York A. C, made hack out of his
opponents and won In 4 minutes 19 sec
onds. This established a new indoor record,
and it was still more remarkable as be
ing the first occasion in which a native
born American came Inside 4:20. Conneff,
it may be remarked. Is a naturalized
American. Later in the season J. P. Paull
of the University of Pennsylvania reeled
off the mile outdoors in 4 minutes 17
seconds, an Improvement of two seconds
on Trube'a time. The same day, which
was the Intercollegiate meet at Cambridge,
there waa a fraction knocked off the two
mile outdoor record of 9 minutes 27 sec
ond by J. P. Taylor of Cornell univer
sity, who did minute 27 seconds), and
thl Is now the best American record.
There was also a new Indoor record for
the distance, for at the Columbia univer
sity games George V. Bonhag of the Irish
A. A. C, won in minutes 28 seconds,
and this wiped away the former mark of
9 minutes 2 seconds made by Mike Mar
risey of the Mercury A. C, at the national
indoor championship of 1908.
At the distances abovs two miles there
were no reverses In the outdoor marks,
but to John J. Daly of the Irish-American
Athletic club belongs the credit of making
the btst attempt at new figures for the
five miles. He showed to be in good form
at the Metropolitan championships and
spreadeagled his field In 25 minutes &
seconds, which I 6 seconds behind the
outdoor record made by E. C. Carter, twenty-two
years ago. About 130 yards in the
rear of Daly came Tom Collins of the
Irish-American Athletic club, the Indoor
champion, the result clearly showing that
the board floor men are not the thing In
the open air, where strength and stamina
are absolutely necesbary. This pair met
in the indoor championships a couple of
weeks afterward, when Collins won. Daly,
who was too big and heavy for the' hard
board floor, going all to pieces toward the
finish.
New ladoer Hark.
On March 1. at the New York Athletlo
club meet at Madison Square garden, Bon
hag made a new indoor mark for the five
miles by winning in 24 minutes. 6i sec
onds, and he Is supposed to have done even
better elsewhere, though the record com
mittee was not inclined to take the figures
with any degree of authenlcity. Some days
later at the Fordhara university games,
which were held in the Twenty-second
regiment armory, Bonhag made four new
Indoor marks. He ran mile In 28 min
utes and 1 second. miles In 30 minutes
and 42 seconds, and 6 miles In 33 minute
and 20 seconds, and 7 miles In 35 minutes
and 50 seconds. Up to 16 miles there was
nothing new Indoor or outdoor, but the
amateur Marathon at Madison Square
garden on January 8. unoarthed a new
string for America, from 16 to 2fi miles and
for the Marathon distance of 26 miles SSS
yard.
Malnner Crowley.
Matt Maloney and Jim Crowley alter
nated with .the lead, the former having
matters hi own way after the twentieth
mile. Crowley had the lead at slxten mile,
the time being 1 hour, 39 minutes, T seconds
and at seventeen miles hi time was 1
hour, 4 minutes and T seconds. Maloney
led for the two next miles; at eighteen
miles the time was 1 hour, 63 minutes, 20
seconds, and at nineteen miles, 2 hours, 16
seconds. Crowley came along at the
twentieth mile, his time being 2 hours, 7
minutes and 11 seconds. From thencefor
ward Maloney showed the way, the fig
ures being, twenty-one .miles, 3 hours, 14
minutes, 30 seconds; twenty-two miles, 3
hours, 21 minutes, 44 seconds; twenty
three miles, 2 hours, 28 mlnutos, sec
onds; twenty-four miles. 2 hours, 36 min
utes, 51 seconds; twenty-five mile, f hours,
44 minutes, 50 seconds; twenty-six miles,
3 hours, 63 minutes, 6 seconds; twenty-Blx
miles and 385 yards, 2 hour, 54 minute and
45 seconds.
In the old world nothing new wa forth
coming In the distance line, and a glance
at the figures from one to ten miles shows
that this was not to be wondered at, a It
will take an out-and-out phenom to take
a tumble out of the string of records left
behind by Blnks for the mile and Shrubb
from two to ten. E. R. Volght of the Man
chester Athletic clue, the four-mile Eng
lish champion, ran his favorite distance in
19 minutes 33 seconds, and that was his beet
effort of the season.
In the department of relay racing there
were new marks both outdoor and indoor.
On March 22 a team from the Thirteenth
regiment of Brooklyn ran the mile In 3
minutes 26 seconds, beating the former
mark by two seconds. At the fall games
of the New York Athletic club a team from
the Irish-American Athletic club covered
the mile In 3 minutes 20 seconds, and the
figures supplanted the old mark of 8 min
utes 21 seconds, held Jointly by the New
York Athletlo club and Harvard university.
What Hurdles Do.
Though the hurdler did very fine work
there was no alteration of standard feats.
Forrest Smithson of the Multnomah Ath
letic club of Portland, Ore., holder of the
world's record over the high stick, made
his appearance In the national champion
ships at Seattle and there met A. B. Shaw
of the Chicago Athletic association, his
most dangerous rival. They fought their
Olymplo fight over again, and again Smith
son proved that he was about two yards
faster, for that wa the space that sep
arated them when they hit the worsted.
The time was 15 seconds, a great piece of
timber-topping when It Is considered that
the men raced against a stiff breeze. A
few days ago In the Portola celebration at
San Francisco Smithson met defeat In the
120 yards by Edwards of the University of
California, and though the verdict wa
gained by only a few inche It waa the
first time In many a day that anyone hap
pened to make the Multnomah man play
second fiddle. Shaw was attracted to Mad
ison Square Garden by the New York Ath
letlo club meet In March and took part In
the seventy-yard high hurdle, whioh he
"won in 9 seconds, and he beat the beBt
men In the east in the bargain.
Among the field event the six-pound
hammer underwent more changes - than
any other. In the early spring John
J. Flanagan, Irish-American Athletlo club,
mastered the triple turn, and he gave early
evidence of his improved form. . At the
games of the New York Athletlo club In
June he was to the fore with a throw of
174 feet 10 Inch, a world' record, and
without the leaat question as to the con
dition. Around that time. Matt McGrath,
New York Athletic club, waa credited with
throw of 177 feet 7 Inches and 178 feet 2j
Inches, the. latter at the Mayo men's games
In the latter part of June, but these per
formances were more or less in the nature
of exhibitions and could never be consid
ered by the record committee.
Flanagan Meet Match.
Flanagan, too, made some big heaves
here and there In his exhibitions, but be
got In a real good one at the Press olub
games at the American League park, when
he sent the sixteen pounds the great dis
tance of 180 feet. Thl la the one sure to
go on the book. At New Haven, Flana
gan made a throw of over 183 feet, and
aa far aa he was concerned the record
conditions were observed In every way,
but the survey of the -ground revealed a
slight down grade and It Is understood
the record will be rejected on that account.
Using the unlimited run style, Flanagan
threw ISO feet 1 Inch at Celtto park, and
this will go on as a record for the loop
handle, but it will not replaoe any of the
old mark made, with straight handles.
Flanagan bettered the reoord for the
twelve-pound hammer by a big margin.
adding aa muoh aa seventeen feet to the
former mark. It waa Flanagan's last
outdoor effort of the season and his throw
taped 207 feet seven and three-quarter
inohes, against the previous record of 190
feet seven Inches, by L. J. Talbott at
Princeton, two years ago.
Ralph Rose, the California giant, moved
the record for the sixteen-pound shot
up to fifty-one feet, where it is very likely
to remain until Rose, himself, may give
It another lift. This feat was performed
at the triple meet . at San Francisco on
August 21. and as James E. Sullivan,
president of the American Athletic union,
saw the measurement there is no doubt
but the record will go on the list. The
week prior Rose did fifty and twenty-six-
ont hundreds feet at the national American
one hundredths feet at the national Ameri
can Athletic union championships at Seattle,
and that was a world's record, so that
Rose's work with the sphere was no fluke.
Next to Rose In brilliancy came Russell
L. Lawrence of the New York Athletic
club, a youngster from Ieale school. He
was second In the national meet with a
put of forty-seven feet and six Inches, and
he duplicated these figures at the Metro
politan championship. It being the best
put ever recorded at this fixture. In the
New York Athletic club games at Madl
son Square garden, Lawrence put the
eight-pound shot sixty-six feet, and this
Is the best put ever made Indoors and Is
only thirteen Inches behind the world's
record of sixty-seven feet seven Inches.
made outdoors by Rose. Lawrence won
the Junior Metropolitan championship by
putting the twelve-pound shot fifty-three
feet and eleven Inches.
McDonald la Alone.
The only new Item with the flfty-slx-pound
weight was by P. McDonald of the
Irish-American Athletic club. He threw
the weight from stand, with two hands,
thirty-one feet eight and five-eighth
Inche. at Madison Square garden on Feb.
ruary (. and this beat the record of thirty,
one feet five Inches, made by John Flana
gan four years ago. In throwing the
weight from the seven foot circle, Flana
gan did not Improve on hi record of
thirty-eight feet eight Inche. though he
did a first rate throw for the Metropolitan
championship, and was well extended by
McDonald. Matt McGrath won the na
tional title at throwing for height, de
feating McDonald, the record holder, and
Con Walsh, with a throw of fifteen feet
three Inches.
One of the novelties of the late season
at Celtic park was a contest at putting
the forty-two pound stone, Irish style, with
follow. Of course, there was a new record.
A
M. J. Sheridan winning with Put of 27
feet 9 Inches. ..more than a foot beyond
the eld record. McOrath and McDonald
were also In the competition, and they, too,
were ahead of the reoord. It is not yet
exactly known If the tone was the full
weight, but there 1 a queer story going
the .rounds about one of the weighers,
Somebody asked after the competition it
the .atone wa right, when one of those
entrusted with the Job of weighing said,
If It Isn't right we'll make It right."
Throwing the Javelin was officially added
to the championship programme for the
first time this year, and the throw made
with thl rather dlffloult Implement gave
every promise that American athletes
should figure In the front rank In future
Olymplo games. At the commencement
of the season the American record waa
131 feet, by Piatt Adams of the New Tork
Athletic club, and made In the Olympic
tryout at Philadelphia laat year. This
atcod until the national championships,
when In the Junior contest Bralley Glsh, a
young Swedish American of the Seattle
Athletlo club sent the shaft 144 feet 1 inch.
The throw made a new American record.
Next day In the senior contest Olsh was
beaten by Ralph Rose with a throw of
141 feet, and had not the contestants been
forced to throw against the wind Rose
would surely have beaten the record made
by Glsh. In the triple meet at Frisco Olle
Snedigar of the Olympic club beat Rose
with a throw of 149 feet, but the Javelin
wa not correct In ahape and weight, so
the mark waa refused official recognition.
Only a few day ago Snedigar la reported
to have made 190 feat J0H Inches with
the Javelin at San Francisco, and "very
likely the throw was correct At least
Snedigar has the proper style of throwing
and all he needed was a favorable chance
to do something big.
Rose the Champion.
In the throwing of the discus Rose won
the national championship with a throw of
131 feet, a distance which would havs Im
proved by several feet had not the discus
hit the fence in It flight. M. J. Sheridan
had matters his own way in the east. At
different time during the year he was
credited with various records, but the
genuine one will not be known till after
the American Athletic union convention.
In the Jumping department there was
nothing new except that A. C. Gilbert, the
Tale pole vaulter, waa reported to have
beaten thirteen feet in the pole vault,
though there is a rumor now that It was
only an exhibition, but It will not be
known for a couple of days whether or not
it was the real thing. The old figures for
the broad and high Jump go over un
touched till next season. In the latter con
test Egon Erlckson of the Mott Haven
Athletic club traveled to Seattle for the
national championship, whicb he won with
the moderate performance of S feet 11
inches. Some time later he was reported
to have Jumped feet 4 Inches, and that
was the beet public performance of the
season. H. F. Porter of the Irish-American
Athletic club, the ex-champlon, beat
Erlckson for the Metropolitan title. D. J.
Ahearne of the Irish-American Athletic
club made several great attempts at the
running two hop and Jump. Two or three
times he got beyond fifty feet, using the
broad takeoff, but at the present time
only the record committee can tell which
of the records will go on the books.
In the matter of scoring point at an
Amateur Athletic union championship meet
Ralph Rose made a new one this year by
coring a total of 21 points. He secured
firsts In the sixteen-pound shot, discus
and Javelin and seconds In the flftx-six-pound
weight and sixteen-pound hammer.
The best previous record was 20 points,
by the late Lon Myers, but the record has
a significance because Myers made four
firsts, a feat not so far to the credit of
any one man.

Austro-American Doctors, by their"New Method" treatment, have ex
ploded this fallacy. It is no longer necessary for the sufferer from this
dread affliction to submit to a dangerous and possibly fatal operation.

they have accepted. The " New Method ' ' treatment which they use dis
solves the gall stones already formed and by placing the liver and other
organs in a condition of perfect health removes the cause and makes the y
cure a permanent one. Although the Austro-American Doctors use only
the mildest and most harmless of medicines in treating gall stones it is a
discovery of their own and unknown to the medical world at large. This

Austro-American Doctors
Dear Sirs: Tour of the lid received
and also the treatment, which was In good
ordsr. I am right here to tell you my
health baa Improved so much under your
treatment that even people who haven't
the least idea that I am taking medicine,
remark about how much better I am look
in than I did awhile ao. I tell them that
I feel different, too. For the last week I
have felt on dar lust like the ether, and
am doing my work and never feel tired
out. I also have a good appetite, and
can sleep like a child. I acknowledge It
being my fault that my first month's
treatment didn't last, as I began taking It
with a teaspoon, and never enoe stopped
to think that It might hold more than 0
drops, and when I measured I found I
had taken too large doses. I remain,
Tour truly,
