Or “On August 20, 1902, a Moqui Indian at Oraibi, Arizona, won the annual five mile race in twenty minutes-an average speed of a mile each four minutes....

The a performance that tied the record for the serume race made at Waipi in 1891, winner, after passing the finishing line, rum on to the underground sanefunry of the priests where he was given the prize-a Filtle bowl of ground corn."

THE EMPIRE'S BEST

Police disperse the crowd after furious spectators had invaded the pifch, form up the goalposts and burnt them during, a football match at Tucuman, Argentine, between the local, Beath Tuchman Atifetic and San Martin,

The crowd whs so great that an overflow 3,000 had to sit around the edge of the ground. The Tucunan Athletic players refused to play as there was "not sufficient guarantee" that the players would not be attacked by the specta lors.

The players withdrew and the referee suspended the match. The specta- tors became impatient and eventpally invaded the plich and dismantled the pay- box in an effort to get their money back. They were only controlled when the fre brigade came to the scene with hoses. Stones flow thick and fast and the police had to fire into the air.-Express Photo.

Batsmen Score Against Australians

Birmingham, Aug. 5.

An opening partnership of 143 by Gardner and Horner gave Warwickshire a magnificent start against the Australians here today and at the close the County had scored 225 for the loss of four wickets.

This was the best performance by a County team against the Australian side, which included five front line Test bowlers. The previous best stand against them outside a Test was 112.

It was not until Miller vas Ord; b Johnston introduced and took two wickets H. E. Dollery, U. Lindwall at 143 that the Australian gained Townsend, not out any success.
