An anlysis of the latest list of world’s records, accepted by the International Amateur Ath- letic federation, shows that out of some ninety odd standard events, the best time or distance has been made by Ameri- HFUMFOR TIME of the entire list of accepted records, No Prospects of Boxing ir is also greater than the combined to- tal of any two other nations. Clee Until Summer al Smerica’s nearest competiter for the honor of leading the world in the matter of record holders, is Great Britain, whose athletes have marked up the best time or distance in 28 events. Denmark and Finland are ted for third place with seven records each. No other nation approaches the versatility of the American ath- lete for the eUnited States performers have established records in six out of the seven groups of competition inte which the world's record events naturally divide themselves. This country is without a recortl holder in the walking events in which Great Britain and Finland hold all the records. America is tied with Great Britain in the running records, each nation having thirteen to its credit. ‘The United States holders are confin- ed to the sprints and the shorter dis- tance runs, Great Britain stars hold @ majority of tho long distance records.

F., which acceptance may be delayed another six months or a year. Such an example is that of the run- ning broadjump credited to P. O'Con- nor of Ireland, with a leap of 24 feet, t|11% inches, made in 1901. ‘This reo- ord was surpassed last July when E. O, Gourdin, of Harvard, jumped 25 feet, 3 inches, in the dual meet between Oxford-Cambridge versus Yale-Harvard at Cambridge. Taking the records as they appear in the latest official list, however, it ig shown that the American athlete is better in more events in the record List than-any one other nationality. Every ‘record from 100, yards to one mile is held by a United States athlete. From two to 26 miles English runners hold sway although most of these times were made in .the early nine- ties. In metric running records Fin- jand, Sweden and France hold all but th rints whieh go to American athletes, Walking records are held by pedestrians of Great Britain, Can- ada and Denmark. Substituting Gourdin’s new record in place of O'Connor's all.the jumping. records are in the hands of American athletes and the same is true of the ‘weight events. Finland, Sweden and the United States divide honors in the discus and javelin competitions. Can- ada gets two hurdle records qs E. J. Thomson of Dartmouth college was born across the border. All others are held by United States hurdlers. Of the ten relay records eight are held by American teams; one by a Great Britain quartet and the other by a Swedish combination. ‘The apportionment of world’s mong the seven holding nat{fons is as follows: United States 13 uns, 5 jumps, 4 weights, 1 discus-Javelin, six hurdles, 8 relay racing; Great Britain 5 runs, 13 1 jomp, 1 relay racing; Finland 4 runs, 2 discus-javelin; Den- mark 7 walks; Sweden 4 runs. 1 dis- cus-javelin; France 5 runs; Canada 3 hurdles. “Big Nine’ In Meeting Today ST.

Young has trained strenuously for the fight. He will enter the ring how ver with # six-pound advantage in weight over Conley and believes that| this extra poundage will make up for the loss of sharpness in his attack due | to @ year or more absence from the ring. Conley is a comer nnd a matter of a few pounds has never meant much in his young life. He is a slashing bor- ing-in battler of the cleancut type that pleases fans and if Morey Young is able to withstand the strenuousity of the ten rounds of geing that Con. ley will pace he will justify the beliet of his followers here that in shape he is the equal of any boxer in nis @ivision in the western country It will be science and ring general ship as exemplified by Young and ag gressiveness and fighting heart as ex emplified by Conley that will tell the story in tonight's battle. Young no Goubt can content himself -by setting back and taking a comparatively easy decision cver Conley by superior box- ing prowess, This however he will not do ne suys, and when he meets Con- ley tonight he will stage every affort for a knockout victory. If Young can wield an ether mitt ho will pull a stunt on Mr. Conléy that will be with- out precedent. Mr. Conley on the cther band has always shown an abil- ity to take it, earries a sleep potion in either jabber and is a boxer af no mean ability.
