TUP TO TUP TO DATE | AND NEWSY | CMRP IDR TURE tC nt tem oe — commons THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, AUGUST THE BEST SPORTING PAGE IN There Is Room for Doubt in! Walker's World Record— Public Will Pay for Re- ception to Olympic Ath- letes. T 1s possible that Walker, the | great South African sprinter, really ran 100 yards in England in 92-5 seconds. But it isn’t likely. Walker beat Rector in the Olympic 400 metres by a foot, in 104-5 sec- onds. A hundred metres is a trifle over 109 yards. As Walker beat the pistol a stride (as shown in the pho- tographs of the start), his actual time was not better than 10 seconds for the 100 yards in that race, He was on edge for that Olympic race, and to beat Rector he was forced to extend himself to the limit. To cover 100 yards in 92-5 seconds he would have io run fully six yards in a hundred faster than he did against Rector. race is a tremend lot. It ls the difference between a world’s record holder and a sprinter of average class, ‘There's no doubt that the African can make 94-5 seconds, but it will take some repeating of this 92-3 mark to convince people who make a study of athletics that he can re it. There is too much discrepancy between that and his Olympic time. T us HE plans for the reception of the American team are progressing Subscriptions are coming in to the committee. Ten thousand dollars will be raised. A scarehead paper printed an article a day or two ago in which the red flag was waved and flourished over the statement (ha!

After the expenses of the reception and the dining of the ath- Jetes has been paid, the remainder of! the subscription will be used to defray the expenses of those who live far from this port, the original fund for this pur- pose having petered out. IGHT followers are snickering F: quietly over tl portation of Mike Schreck to England for the | purpose of fighting Jack Johnson in London. Schreck was a dead one so long ago that the “fans have for- gotten where he was buried. Johnson is to again “claim the title’ after beat- ing Schreck. Well, there's nothing very alarming about that, Claiming titles wit fighting for them is a matter of cours in England. Every time a cock crows at sunrise some ed mixed ale serap- per ‘claims a title.” It's just a abit ‘Tommy Burns will have something to say about titles when he returns from Australla.
