'second. This argument will be placed be- fore the next meeting of the Inter- national Amateur Athletic federa- tion, the body that puts the stamp of official recognition on world track and fleld rec Last summer the federation met during the Olympic games to con- !sider applications for records. At that time a mark of 9 §5-10 seconds, made by Charles Paddock under championship conditions, was placed befors them for approval, The approval was denied under the assymption that & watch, timed of a second, might not be As a result the record 1 book shows five men as official rec- ord holders while Paddock is rec- ognized as having equalled the § 13-5 mark six times. A The other joint holders, eficislly, are D. J. Kelly, H. P. Drew anl Chester Bowman of the United States, and Cyril Craftee, of Canada. It would be & hard task to enu- nerate the number of record equ ing performances recorded since the iast mesting of the 1. A. A. F. Only last Saturday the record was qualled four times—twice by Frank Wykoff and once by Charles Berah, °f Fresno, Calif., and once by “ieorge Simpsen at Philadeiphia. On the preceding Sdturday Simp- ion, in & dual meet at Ohio State, was timed in 9 6.10 under appar- ntly. normal conditions. Claude Bracey, Rice {nstitute r, has been timed at 9 2.5, # 0 and 9 3-10 on various occa. ‘iona of this year. He had & wind ! t hin back when the checkers aught him at the Arst time. The pregent world record was se n June 33, 1906, when Kelly start- d the track weorld by breaking the sisting mark. Kelly's record was nchalienged until 1914 when Drew ucceeded in tying him. Paddock was the third to gain the nce select circle and he ran the distance in record time four times during 1921, Craffee breke in in' 1922 and Paddock equalled the mark again in 192¢ and 1926. Bowman, |the last to be officially recogniged, ran his record race in July, 1927, In the record beoks ef the A. A. {L. the 100 yard dash is the only iflat distance race in which mere than one recerd equalling perfor. mance is recognized. Unless aetion is taken at the next meeting of the I. A. A.

PEACE LODHS N STRIKE AT TRAGK Chicagos Racing Seuson Seeis Likely to Opén Tomorrow Aurora, I, May 3 (M—The {horsemen’s strike, which has delay- ed the opening of Chicago's racing season at Aurera track for three days, neared termination today. It was virtually certain the track would open tomorrow with the strikers running their horses, Although no compromise has been effected, the strikers believe thay have found a legal method to .col- lect one per cent of all winning moneys for the upkeep of their or- ganization, the Theroughbred uam asseciation. Their plan calls for each Imm- man, desiring to contribute to the associatien, to present track official & written amsignment -of the pures portion he desires to go to the or- ganization. . Such a deduction has been one of the principal demands of the strikers, but the track off cials refused to make a blanket col- lection. Another demand of the strikers,| for increased purses, will be forgot- ten it the track officials agree to their deduction plan, one of their leaders intimated. Clifford Trimble. general manager of the Aurora course, said such a deduction plan was agreeable to him. Today, hoth sides were awaiting | each other'’s move toward peace. Trimble withdrew his ultimatum last night, which demanded the horsa- men race or get their horses out of the track stables, indicating his be- lief that peace was imminent.
