Paddock announced that his last race would be in the national cham- pionship meet at Paddock Field, Pas- adena, which was named after his Olympic triumphs. This meet opens July 1. He plans to enter the 100- yard and the 220-yard dashes.

EW YORK, April 26—Paddock’s new track records continue to be the talk of the athletic world. N tion, while others would like make them in the east before they ta I have received a letter fsom John H. Clausen, who coached the Naval Academy track team in 1920, question- ing these sprinting records and as- serting that it will not be easy for the California athletic officials to convince the A. A. U. He refers to 1920 when | on April 10. in the Southern California | vs. University of California games, Paddock was credited with 93-5 for the hundred and 212-5 for the 220, and on January 26, at Pasadena, 9 4-5. Points to Paddock’s Defeat. “But,” Clausen continues, “on July 17, at Cambridge Schultz defeated Paddock in 10 seconds and Murchison defeated both Schultz and Paddock in 10 seconds in the finals there.” lausen goes on to say: “No eastern athlete will believe that Paddock ran 100 yards in April, 1920, in 93-5 sec- onds, and no eastern athlete will be- lieve that he ran in the same time on March 29, 1921." Clausen suggests: “If timers and Judges and starters are filled up with record talk, it is a difficult task to do correct work. The starter is apt to let the men go away from the mark before they have become actually set, and the timers are inclined to watch the advancing runners and then snap their watches fnside of the tape. It is possible that the officials were too enthusiastic over the Olympic win- ! mer.” Paddock’s Real Worth. In spite of what Clausen had to say him run are by no means convinced { that he is incapable of the times sent from California. The writer saw Dufty break the hundred-yard record and it was a clear-cut job. Pad- dock, when the writer saw him run. @id not get away as well as Duffy used to. nor has he finished as strong- Iy as the great Arthur used té do. But he certainly has run faster in the middle of a course than any man I have ever seen. Hence it seems credi- table. if the got up into his stride at, the gun and finished with a rush, that| he really smashed the records as i claimed. 6. .
