Nineteen hundred and four was n banner ban-ner year for track and tlHd men In Utah as in alrorfit every section of the United Slat.. M.inv world's records have been broken in this country and even in our own State, ,i number of new marks have been set by local athletes. The. Dnlverelty of I t.ih track team easily won the State championship In addition ad-dition to trimming sevrral institution! from Colorado. Never before In the history his-tory of tho 'Vanity ho. the crimson and silver been represented by euch a strong aggregation as last year's team The "l"' runners captured everything in Right and three of the men. Wade, Whitney and CapL Rldeout finished the season without once being beaten in their events The State Ch.impions, Jlmmle Wade won everything In the distances. dis-tances. He took care of the mile and half-mllo runs In excellent shape and acquitted ac-quitted himself with an unbroken string of victories. In fact, he has never been defeated de-feated In the mile run in three years. Horace Whitney met and defeated the beet sprinters "f thin State besides those of Colorado He was always Urst to reach the worsted in the "hundred" with Moore, his teammate, usuallj next in order. The latter had a bad year on account of illness and did not show his usual form Capt. Rldeout Is the undisputed king of the internumntaln quarter-nailers He holds the Stato record of 51 2-5 seconds and was never headed during thn season. Adams of Proo Is perhaps the greatest pole-vau Iter In the Rocky mountain region re-gion anil I? undo-jbl'-dly the bet man Utah ever developed At the Interstate meet last year he cleared 11 feet 9 Indies In a single trial with Inches to spare lie was urged by many of the officials lo try for the world's record of 12 feet 1 and S2-lr.rt S2-lr.rt Inches, but refused. Richmond of the Salt Lake High school was probably tho best broad Jumper He made 22 feet In practice last year, according accord-ing to reliable reports, a very creditable performance Indeed. Bennlon was the "champ" hammer-thrower hammer-thrower He put the leaden missile about IM feet last year In competition, establishing establish-ing a new State record. What Was Done Elsewhere. The record of rj 3-5 seconds for the "hundred," "hun-dred," made by Duffy two years ago, was not disturbed, but Duffy traveled to England Eng-land and had his colors lowered bv j W Morton of the South London Harrier?. In the championship The Georgetown runner run-ner gave the Englishman a elose race, being be-ing only six inches behind, but the time, 10 seconds, showed that Morton was no counterfeit. Twice afterward he beat Duffy, starting -on even terms, ami on the last occasion ran the 101 yards In 4-5, so that ho Is now Joint holder of the Hrltl-ih record with Duffy, and Morton also ran the 120 yards In 11 1-5 seconds, and he now shares the honors of the English record with Bradley, Downer and Duffy. Neither in America nor England were top-notch flgues for tho quarter, half or mile in any danger, but tsome really good feats took place in St. Louis, sperlully during the Olympic meet in the 400-meter, Harry L. Hlllman of the New V..ik Athletic club, after a splendid race won tho event In 40 1-5 seconds, and had he not looked bnhtnd him In the straight he must Inevitably clocked It In 19 seconds. The former Olympic record was 49 2-5 seconds by Maxey Long of the Ni w York Athletic club, at Paris. In 19K. Llghtbodv of Chicago Chi-cago won the 800-meter In 1:56, and thus. too. beat the "1 mple record of 2 'l 2-5 made by tho late A. E Tvsoe of the Sal-for Sal-for H irrl rs. England, at Paris In 1900 Hlllman secured additional honors In th-200-meter hurdle, which ho won In 21 3-6 seconds, supplanting the formr Olympic mark of 25 2-6 seconds by A. C. Kraenz-leln Kraenz-leln at Paris in 1900 A new Olympic record rec-ord fell to the credit of Llghtbody In the 1500-meter runs, for he won In 4:05 2-5, or a fraction better than the previous mark For the mile and upward, tho work of the athletes was mediocre, with the exception ex-ception Of the ten-mile road race given by the St. Alphonsus Athletic club at Rox-bury, Rox-bury, Mass., on April 10 Tho winner was F. j. Haarer and the time returned was 59 minutes 9 seconds, which if correct, was the best piece of long-distance work ever seen in America. The American record rec-ord 1g 52 minutes 3S seconds, made by W, D Day at the fall games of the old Staten Island Athletic club, October 26, 1SS9. It Is not likely that Elaarer'S time will take the place of Day's, although It was said the course was surveyed by a civil engineer. engi-neer. Even if all the conditions wer correct the performance may onl be classed o-s a road record. Distance Running Events. Mention, however, of distance running conjures up the name of Alfred Shrubb of tlm South London Harris. His running this season has been phenomenal. He has beaten records, manv only to bo further improved upon by himself, and there Is not an athletic enthusiast but admits that ho Is thf greatest long distance rilnner amateur or professional the world has ever seen As practically a novice, and a member of the Horsham Blue Star Harriers,! Shrubb entered and ran third In the four-mile ftnglish championship cham-pionship In JVoo Sine-- that tlnv Ik- has never known defeat over distances from one mllo to ten He has won the national and southern counties' cross-country championship four times; four and ten-mile ten-mile Amateur Athletic association championship cham-pionship four tlmr4. International crosscountry cross-country championship and one-mile Amateur Ama-teur Athletic association championship once, while the Sussex championship has be.'ti practically a walkover fvr him. With almost every available championship champion-ship to his credit, Shrubb, however, reached the climax of his career at Ibrox park. Glasgow, in the curly part of July, when, in the two and four-mile handicaps, handi-caps, ho beat no fewer than ten world h amateur and two professional records. Taking the two miles ilrt. Shrubb ran the lirst mile in 4 minutes 27 seconds, and at one and one-QUarter miles he touched the world's amateur record by doing o minutes 27 seconds, the previous best time being 5 minutes 3s 4-5 B'-conda, by T. P. Conneff, at Rergen Point, September 2. 1895, Ho Just missed the one and one-half miles, also hepi b Conneff, but got Inside the record of a quarter further on, running run-ning one and three-quarter miles in 8 minutCB 2 seconds, against S minutes S 1-5 seconds. The two miles were compassed In the wonderful time of 9 minutes 13 3-5 seconds, which supiTSi-dod his own world's record of 9 minutes 17 seconds, made on the grass track at Kenning ton rival. London, September 12, 1903. This also beats the world's professional rei.ml of 9 minutes UVz seconds, which has stood to tho credit of Bill Lang since The Two-Mile Race. Tho day 'ollowlng tho two-mile race Shrubb tackled the four miles, and it Is a difficult matter to determine which is the hlOSX meritorious. He made no pacing, tho nearest runner being on tho 20-yard mark, and yet he made quite a string of records in the four-mile Journey. Jour-ney. He reached the two-mile post In 9 minutes 27 3-5 seconds, which was a fifth of a second belter than Bacon's Scotch record, which stood for eight years. Shrubb then got inside the world's previous pre-vious b-st. and. with the exception of the three miles, remained Inside to the end. The 2',i-mlle record was held Jointly by W C. George and Sid Thomas, and the records at 2Vi. 2. 3U and ilz miles belonged be-longed to W C Gfeorge, and Shrubb held the records at 3i and 4 miles. His time for the full dlatanco was 10 minutes 23 2-5 seconds, as against 19 minutes 31 3-5 seconds, by Shrubb himself, and tho professional pro-fessional record of 19 minutes 25 2-5 seconds sec-onds by Peter Cannon of Stirling, at the Glasgow exhibition, November S, 1888 It Is certainly a coincidence thut both the world's amuteur and professional records rec-ords for four miles should have been accomplished ac-complished at the capital of Scotland. Shrubb's Intermediate times up to two miles were. Quarter mile, (50 seconds; half mile, 2 minutes Mi seconds, three-quarters three-quarters of a mile, 3 minutes 19 2-5 seconds, sec-onds, one mile, 4 minutes 32 2-5 seconds; mile and a quarter, 5 minutes 46 2-5 sec-onds, sec-onds, mllo and a half, 6 minutes 69 2-5 seconds, mile anil three-quarters, S mln-iit- 13 1-5 seconds; two miles, 9 minutes 27 2-5 seconds; and from that on got among the records as follows: Amateur Professional, Miles Phrubb. world's. .world's. in a: i-s io 51 U:M 12:01 BN 13 11 1-6 13:10 1-1 3 14 T 1-J II z7 3-5 14 194j 3 : 1V44 3'4 11:61 2-5 17:10 34 IS 12 4-fc 11:25 2-5 4 .... 19.23 2-5 19 .31 3-f 13:25 2-; World's records. |
