Schoolboy Sheppard Breaks One-Mile Mark at Columbia | Games in the Garden. | Although every one of the different events decided at the games of the Columbia University in Madisop Square Garden Inst nigat was bitterly con- tested, there was only one new record established by the hundred and more young and ambitious athletes who participated. ‘The new mark was made by Melville Sheppard, a young schoolboy from Philadelphia, who ran in the colors of the Irish-American Athletic Clyb. This lad was pitted against some of the fastest runners that have ever taken part in an A. A U. evert, and. while he had to travel at a clipping pace in onier to keep up in front, he neverthe- less romped home the winner of the one-mile race in the remarkable time of 4 minutes 251-5 seconds. This breaks the indoor record for a race of that distance, which previously was 4 min- utes 26 seconds, made by Andy Walsh, the old Xavier A. A. runner. ‘When the announcament was made that Sheppard hed broken the record a mighty shout went up from the large ‘crowd who had watched the youngster Jead his opponents across the line. Sheppand made his own pace for half a mile, et whioh he led in 2 min- utes and 10 seconds. Here George Bon- hag, another Irish-American A. C. man, took up the pace up to the last lap, when Bheppard and Sullivan fought It out to the finish Sullivan had the crowd with him and ran a plucky race in remponse to the frantic yells of his admirers. Sheppard was two yards in front at the finish, with Bonhag third. E. P. Carr, Harvey Cohn, W. G. Frank and R. L. Sanford finished behind the leaders. The Irish Americans made another Sweep in the 80-yard A. A. U. cham- Pionship. Lawson Robertson was an easy winner, with 6 C, Northridge sec- ond, Both belong to the Irish American A.C. R. Burch, of Yale, was third ‘The games were well named a “relay carnival.” There were no less than four- teen relays on the card and nearly all of them furnished good races. The New ‘York Athletic Club’s unbeaten team, comprising Herry Hillman, H. V. Val- entine, H. A. Sedley, jr., and Paul Pil- grim, distanced the Irish-American team and lost the Pastime four some- where in the Garden. Yale's team beat Dartmouth with ease, E. B.

WAS OVER IN A FLASH. Air Pressure Tore Face and Deaf- ened Man as He Covered Ground. ORMOND, Fla., Jan. 27.—The great- est speed ever attained by man has been mado by Fred Marriott, and not even the most hopeful of the speed en- thuslasts at the eutomob!ie races here can to-day look for anything better in many years. The last word in time clipping was sald yesterday when this American driver in his American- built Stanley tore off a méle over the brown sea bench in 281-5 seconds. It was at the rate of 127.6 miles an hour, faster than the fiercest wind whose speed has ever been measured. ‘Those who saw the feat will never forget it. Att the time they could hard- ly realise what it meant, for they might as.well have tried to estimate the speed of a comet flashing across the sky. Only .by the most delicately | adjusted automatic arrangement and the use of nine stop-watches con- trolled electrically was the result recomied. This means that at last man has come to a point there he can hurl himself from one point to an- other so rapidly that he no lenger can emimate his own rate.

The begoggled person was Mar- riott, the American chauffeur, whose feats to then had not been noted be- yond those of scores of other men trailing along behind the reputation of the famous French and Italian speed~ eaters, The crowd cheered, for this was to be another attempt to shave down the reo- ord to two miles a minute.
