GOOD SPRINT.
Not Quite a World's Record.
RECORDS COMPARED.
Los Angeles, Yesterday. Frank Wykoff, the Olympic run- ner, was to-day officially timed over the 100 yards' track. His time for the sprint was 9.2/5 sees, which, Reuter states, is a world's record.
For confirmation of this claim, reference has been made to the Daily Mail Year Book and Whit- taker's Almanack, in botn of which
find we
that J. Donaldson (Australia) ran the hundred yards in the better time of 9% seca, during an athletic meeting held at Johannesburg in 1910. Donaldson's time is 1/10th of a second better than that of Wykoff.
ATHLETES HELD-UP:
Cross-Country Runners Assaulted.
An incident, almost without parallel in the, history of cross- country running, marred the Lon- don Territorials' championship at Uxbridge in mail week, writes Club. man in the Sporting Life.
The three leading runners-Con: stable, Sutherland and Tebbutt-all well-known London' club athletes, were, it is alleged. assaulted by a shepherd while endeavouring to got: over a gate about a mile from the winning post.
some
The shepherd, it is alleged, was apparently lying in wait, and when Constable, a hundred yards in nd- vance of the other pair, was about to run through, he slammed the gate shut, with the result that Constable was hurled against
barbed wire fencing, and badly cut.
By this time Sutherland and Tebbutt had come up, and all three endeavoured to climb over the gate, only to be met by the shepherd, who, according to Sutherland's statement, struck him over the head, mean- while refusing to listen to any ap- peal for fair play.
Eventually a race official prevailed on the man to let the runners carry on, but a race between the first three was out of the question, and they finished abreast.
·
The three cups put up by the Territorial Association were award- e on the spin of a coin, and by the luck of the toss Constable gained
The trophy for the third man, after having had the race won all the way!
The Territorial authoritles, it is understood, are making a full in- quiry, and the result will be'awnited with keen interest.
LORD DERBY,
To See the Kentucky Derby,
The news that Lord Derby is go- ing to be present this year at the Kentucky Derby has greatly Inter- cated Americans in London. The Kentucky Derby is the chief flat race for horaes in America and one of the oldest. It was established in 1875. The distance is a mile and a quarter, and the race is for three- year-olds. It is run Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky.
on
Our American visitors are usually surprised by the fact that the Derby is not run in Derby-indeed it is be- lieved that every year a certain num- ber of them turn up at Derby Station on the day-and they point with some satisfaction to the fact that the Kentucky Derby is really
