GERMAN BEATS A. A. A. LONG JUMP RECORD
17 Half-Milers Inside

London, July 22.
was a lot of interesting sport at the preliminary session of the A.A.A. Championships last night at the White City, but now and then things seemed to need moving a bit. Even the voice of the "mike" had its silent periods, and the spectators wondered what was happening.
One of the most Impressive features; self with a quiet constitutional, as of the furlong running apart from you might say. Sweeney's easy triumph in his two

In his Arst time out he ran second to the Hungarian, Gyenes, and in the emi-final followed Sweeney home in the fastest heat of the day-1.9sec.
I fancy Helmes, who had two very comfortable runs and fnished first on each occasion, will prove to be Sweeney's most dangerous rival in And it the final this afternoon.

NOT A GRACEFUL HURDLER In the quarter mile hurdles J. Sheffield, the holder, went out at the tirat attempt. He was beaten by Bosmans, a little dark Belgian with a quod finish and R. H.
