BRILLIANT 440 RECORD BY G. L. RAMPLING
26-Year-Old Figure Lowered At British Empire Games
(Special Air-Mail Service)
London, August 9.
The Empire Games Athletics ended on a triumphant nota at the White City, yesterday. Three more British records were broken, and in the mile J. E. Loreluck, of New Zealand, failed by only 4-5th sec. to beat his own figures of 4min, 12sec.
G. L. Rampling, the Army arid A.A.A. champion, was the hero of the day and, Indeed, of the Games. In winning the quarter- millo in 48sec, he beat by 2-5th sec. the 26-year-old record set up by Lt. Halswelle at Glasgow in 1908.
W
Miss Elleen Hiscock, a London girl, won the women's 220yds.. In 25sec., and the third record of the afternoon was established by Miss Marjorie Clark, of South Africa, who won the 80 metres hurdles in 11 4-5th see.
There was a big surprise in the Marathon, in which I Webster, of Canada, defeated the favourite, D. McNab Robertson. of Scotland, by four and a half minutes.
THE OLD RAMPLING
In
It was the old Rampling we saw, fylng jump and won the event. in the quarter-mile yesterday- Luckhoff could not improve. strong and imperious. He drew the fourth lane and did not bother Lo race anybody. He concentrated on his own running.
For sheer speed and rhythmic power he was the best sight seen on a British track. Nor did he weaken as
the he swept into straight; with a commanding lead. He broke the tape in unimpaired
form.
If Rampling's running suggested dynamic energy of poetry-the William Blake-we had" melodious,
He prose from J. E. Lovelock, controlled the mile from the start. He tapped his resources with un- erring discretion, and anticipated the strenuous dealt with 'and' challenges of J. F. Cornes and B. C. Wooderson with perfect serenity. If only Lovelock had known in the last forty yards, when he had beaten off all opposition, how near he was running to his own British record, how easily could he have beaten it! Or if Cornes could have produced one of his old bursts of speed he would have been driven to break it.
fairness to him it should be said came to the lang that he only jump after a succession of highly creditable javellm throws, one of which gained him third place. The second was also won by a South African--the great H. B. Hart.
Hart once threw the Javelin 204ft under irritable and exacting circumstances. He had not thrown over 180ft for two years until he took up the implement yesterday. He has been concen- trating on

Official Decisions » Players who do not retire to the proper distance when a free kick is taken must be cautioned, and on any repetition be ordered off. It is particularly requested of Re- ferees that attempts to delay the taking of a free kick by encroach- ing should be treated as serious misconduct. (Council, December, 1910.)
Instruction to Referees
It is the Referee's duty to see that all free kicks are taken from the proper place and not allow a free kick to be taken until he has given a signal. The usual signal. is a whistle. The free kick must be taken without delay. Nothing slows a game more than wasting time in taking a free kick. It is also unfair to delay bearing in mind that a goal may be scored a free kick awarded for a from breach of Law 9. It opponents per- sist in encroaching act promptly and caution thein.
The kick must not be allowed if the ball is on the move while it is being taken,

England's sporting public will have much to hold their at- tention this week, for apart from the great interest aroused by the final Teit, for the greater portion of the public at least, something tar more interesting is in store-the opening of the football, sezon.
Á full programme of matches has been arranged for Satur- day when all the best teams will be on view. Early as the season is, there is already some talk regarding the prospects of the "favourites" and in this respect Aston Villa ranks very high. No less than eighty-two teams will be engaged in the four seo- tions of the English" and each one is quietly confident of "doing things."
Some considerable change has taken place 'since the Inst season but in most cases the favourite, players have remain- ed with their "old loves" and while it is too early to make any forecasts regarding the chances of the teams for Saturda'ys matches, I give below the fixtures with the probable winners in bold type.
