BRINGING UP FATHER SAY! DONT YOU EVER QIT TIRED OF TALKIN' ABOUT THE CLIMATE WHY SHOULD V7 JUST THINK: SUN~ SHINE ALL THE TIME AND EACH DAY BETTER THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1932. By GEORGE MeMANUS LISTEN TO THAT FOG! MYRLIFE and the OLYMP —b ~X PAAVuU NURMI of the same class. George's record held for 29 years, when Taber improved it by 1-5 second. Taber, however, used fore- | runners, wherefore his achieve- lmem cannot be compared by any / | means with George's great run. Taber's record stood for 8 years,. Then I broke it so severely, that ICS one might say that George found his equal. I ran 4:104 in a ~————— | hard duel, ie., not in the best pos- T |sible circumstances. In 1921 al- {ready I should have been ripe for a new record on that distance, but I was not thinking of it, as the i mile is run very seldom in Europe. Then, last summer, the mile rec- i ord was again bettered. Ladoume- gue ran it in 4:09.2. It is true that the new and the previous records are of fairly oqual value. It only depended on cir- cumstances that the figures were different.
