Re- in Feb. 2 etna Bo@i’ling Alleys 10 Alleys 6 Tables “Church Street Telephone San Francisco, Feb. 2.—George Hecrine, former world’s record holder and present running high jump champion of America, has quit ath- letics for good. In a letter received from the former Stanford star he an- nounces his permanent retirement. He'is going to settle down to a farmer’s life. George is the owner of a beautiful ranch in Winton, Cal., where, with his wife and daughter, he expects to end his days. Horine is the originator of the mew style of high jumping, which is a sort of half roll of the entire body over the bar. Horine was never taught the art of high jumping by any trainer, and the 10ll over style came to him naturally when practicing in the back yard of his home in Palo-Alto, where he had rigged up a pair of upright sticks | and used his mother’s clothesline be- tween the uprights instead of the regulation cross stick. A few years later George entered Stanford wuni- versity and while jumping in the gymmasium he surprised “Dad” Moul- | ton, the trainer, when, apparently without any effort, he cleareqd six feet, Moulton was completely taken back with the new form used in going over the bar and predicted that the 6 feet 5 3-8 inches record made in 1895 by Mike Sweeney would soon be dis- rlaced by Horine. Sure enough, at the university games March 30, 1912, the prediction came true when Horine cleared 6 feet 6 1-8 inches. On May 18 of the same year he reached 6 feet 7 inches. Horine com- peter for the last time at the Pan- ama-Pacific championships and took frst place in the running high jump. Horine's record was beaten by Eddie Beeson of the Olympic club, who, by the way, has also retired from ath- letics. Beeson cleared 6 feet 7 5-16 irches in 1914, using practically the Horine style. Photo shows Horine making one of his famous jumps. | 1 BOWLING RACE IS GROWING EXCITING Landers No. 1, Five Start Right But Find Pace Is Too Fast—Rangers’ League Opens.
