SHRUBB'S RECORD
BROKEN
EATON SETS UP NEW
10-MILE TIME
KEEN DUEL WITH J. A. BURNS
(By Beirl Rudd)
London, April 6. LFRED SHRUBB'S 10-mile British record, set up at Glasgow in 1904, has been broken. At the White City on Saturday W. E. Eaton, the Salford Harrier, won the A.A.A. Championship in 50min. 30 4-5 sec.--almost 10sec. faster than Shrubb's time.
This brilliant run. following so soon after his cross-country victory, stamps Eaton as one of the greatest runners in the world. His attractive, fluid style conceals the precision and natural stam- ina of a Surmi.
Except for a moment at the beginning of the race and for anj Interlude of two laps in the second mile, when V. Harman fed, Eaton made all his own running. Yet it was a great race as well! as a great run, for it was not until well into the ninth mile that! the tall J. A. Burns (Elswick Harriers) failed to respond to the unremitting and increasing pace. For 44 minutes he had run two yards behind Eaton. Burns, too, ran the race of his life, and his time of 51min. 11 4-5sec. has only once been beaten in the history of this championship.

A message yesterday from San Fancisco tells me that Mrs. Moody is playing better than ever, and that she seems certain to win the Wimbledon championship again.
Indeed, Mr. Howard Kinsey, the famous player with whom Mrs. Moody usually practises, goes so far as to say that she a set in com- will not lose petition play this year. His opinion, moreover, is support- ed by experts who have seen her.in play.
It is said though I cannot confirm it that Mrs. Moody and Donald Badge will be partners in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon. If this proves. to be so they will certainly be a formidable combination.
