Cunningham Shatters Own Record In A.A.U. Meet
NEW WORLD'S MARK ESTABLISHED OVER 1,500 METRES
New York, Feb. 23. Once more, in solitary magnificence, Gleen Cunningham has thundered to victory over his arch rivals, Bill Bonthron and Gene Venzke, again giving the performance an added touch of great- ness. Before a frenzied crowd of more than 15,000 in Madison Square Garden the mightiest miler of them all raced to a world's record over the 1,500-metre route in the superb time of 3:40.5.
