fae Liltster’s el In 150-Yard Race Greater Than Charlie Paddock’s New York Policeman Covers Distance Indoors In World’s Rec- ord Time of 14 3-5s., Which Is Only Two-Fifths of a Sec- ,. ond Behind Coast Star’s Record Outdoors Made Under More Favorable Conditions, By Robert Boyd. HEN sturdy, Robert McAllister of the Glencoe A, C, and holder of the Senior Metro- polttan title for 100 yards, established ® mew record for running 150 yards indoors at the 13th Regiment Armory im Brooklyn, he came within two- fifths of a second of equalling Charles Paddock’s beat performance of 14 1-5 seconds over the same distance out- @oors, made tn Pasadena, Cal., June 18, 1921, Paddock's achievement is recorded ‘m the official records of sport as one ef “America’s noteworthy perform- | ances,” yet under the conditions that 5 existed im which both the California /_ Comet and the speedy New York pelice officer hung up their record figures, the accomplishment of the latter stands out more prominently than that of the great Coast sprinter. ‘The comparison of the ficet-footed | MoAllister's indoor record of 143-5 seconds is made so that some concep- tiem may be gathered of how it com- pares with the best time made on a cinder path outdoors. The conditions ere vastly different. ‘The two official records for 150 yards made indoors until yesterday were held jointly by J. J. Eller of the Irish-American A. C. and A. T. Meyer of the same club, made in 1909 and 1911 respectively, of 154-5 seconds. ‘There is an unofficial record that does not seem to receive recognition made by Gen. Charies Sherrill, while a stu- dent at Yale, of 144-5 seconds. Mc- Allister not only shattered the official figures but sent the unofficial time of Sherill Into the discard. Paddock established his world’s outdoor record with the aid of a fast cinder-path track in the balmy cli- mate of June in Pasadena with spiked shoes. McAllister ran his sensational 160 yards on the drill floor of an ar- mory with rubber-soled shoes and a track measuring one inch over 150 yarda. Jackson Scholz of the New York A. C. won his heat {n the 150-yard race, breaking by fractions of a second the record times of both Eller and Meyer. McAllister a few minutes later sent his high tensioned nerves. missing yesterday. This was For the last few the able coaching of Al. Copeland, for- track athletics, Starter Johnny Me- Hugh announced after the race that he had no trouble with McAllister breaking and he showed wonderful im- provement in getting off his mark, which marred some of his most re- cent races, Scholz jumped both McAllister and Georgi in the first fifteen yards. He led by a few feet until McAllister got under way at the 20-yard mark, From then until he breasted the worsted he drew away from the other two runners as if they ap- peared to be standing still. The sturdy legs of the police officer lit- erally burned up the boards. He rolled around in his typical awk- ward fashion with the steady tap- tap of his rubber soled shoes against the pine drill floor. At the finish he led Scholz to the tape by fully five yards, with Goorg! third. H was timed at the hundred in 94-5 seconds. At the 110-yard mark, 103-5; at 120, 114-5; the 130 at 123-5 and at the finish, 143-5; a new world's record for the distance. After the race it was found that the track measured 150 yards and 1 inch, ter will carry his record breaking sprinting to, He is just learning the proper way to run and his feat of yesterday makes him a dangerous rival of Murchison indoors and peer- less Paddock outdoors.
