W YORK, February 1.—Followers of track and field athletics who witnessed the Millrose Athletic Club games at Madison Square Garden last night are holding their swirling heads today. It was a night unequaled in American indoor atheltics, four world and one American indoor records being broken. Some, who _classify the fiith shattered mark, also a world timing, as- sert that in point of speed. per event, it was as historical an evening as bave been Olympic meets. Time was cut as with a scythe. { The record-breakers were: Jimmy Connolly of Georgetown Univer- sity, Joie Ray of the Iliinois A. C, Chicago; Loren Murchison of St. Louis and the Newark (N. J) A. C W. Landon of the New York the Vaicour Athletic Club, New York. Ray, the eclognated driver of a “hicago taxi, ran one of the most sensational races of his long cham- pionship career, seeming to case his way along the route of a mile and a 'alf, which he covered 100 vards| d of his nearest follower in the | nearly incredulous time of & minutes | onds. i es the Chicago middle-dis- tance runner seemed to loaf along, 5o | easy and graceful was his stride. At! the mile he had lapped the field. Had been given keener competition he might have sliced the record to_an a'most unbelievable margin. The previous mark was his own-—6 min-| ites 42 and 3-5 seconds—he made it last vear. The victory meant permanent pos- session for Ray of his second Rodman Wanamaker cup, the event trophy.
