Wins Five and Three Mile Events i Record Time. New York, Feb. 12.—A remarkable performance by Hannes Kolehmainen, the Olympic distance champion, when he set a new world's record for five miles_indoors, was the feature of the New York Athletic club’s indoor games in Madison Square Garden tonight. The speedy Finn made the distance from scratch in 24.291-5, clipping 18 4-5 seconds from his own record of 24.48, made in the Garden last Thursday night. lincidentally he set up new American records for 3 1-4 and 41-2 miles indoors. His time for the former distance was 17.113-5, against 17.16 in his run last week, while he was timed for the 41-2 miles at 22.07 4-5, compared with his last week's mark at 22.17T. All three of his marks last. Thursday were new records. The record for five miles outdoors is 24.33 3-5, made by Alfred Shrubb of England. Kolehemainen’s performance was all mile of the armory, in which the last two miles-of the Marathon were run on the drill shed floor. William Rosett, an unatached run- ner, won the race in a close finish. in { the armery, with H. F. Jensen, also unattached, who won second place. The time was 2 hours 46 minutes, the distance being 25 miles, slightly short of the Marathon distai: » ENGLISH LAST LONGER. Britons Stick in Ring Game Greater .

It isn’t anything uncommon for an English pug to stick to the game 15 years. How many Americap fighters | can vou think of who have lasted more than seven or eight? Johnny Summers and Jem Driscoll, who are respectively the welterweight and the featherweight champions of Europe, have been in the game since 1900.

Many Tall Players. High altitudes exist to a consple- uous extent in professional baseball, This doesn't refer to the Rocky Moun- tain league either. It means that there- is conspicuously large number | of tall rs in the game. In the leagues alone the number plavers who are over six feet in | height is notable. Whether or not the | game is gradually elongating the hu- | man £ -, there is to be found among | the regulars and recruits _a great abundance of tall sycamore. All of ' them haven't skill and a plentitude of inches are by no means incom- patible. Most of the lengthy chaps of the ball field are pitchers, but other posi- tions have a share of them. Take some of the pitchers of the Gilants, string the tallest of them together and their combined height would fall only a trifle short ol the Metropolitan Lower. Tesreau, Matty, Wiltse and Marquard are all six feet or over; Shore is 6 feet 3, and the heights of Perryman ang Hurley are respectively 6.04 1-2 and 6.02 3-4. Nine of the playe purchased by the Giants last year are | over six feet and Merkle, Meyers and | Fletcher are all six footers. ! Every big league team has its sky- scrapers.
