NEW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

Pirie Outruns All Three Hungarian Distance Aces To Break World Record

Stockholm, Sept, 4.

Gordon Pirie, 25-year-old paint salesman, shattered the 8,000 Metres record at Malmo (Southern Sweden) tonight with a time of 7 minutes 62.8 seconds.

He ran in a field which included the powerful Hungarian trio of Sandor iharus, with whom Pirie shared the record of 7:55,6, Istvan Rozsavolgýl and Laszlo Tabori.

But Pirie outstripped them all. Iharos was relegated to third place.
