Winner of Half-mile and Mile | THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, f%su, | In the World of Sport HILL, ENGLISH RUNNER, | BIG STAR AT OLYMPICS test Middle e Runner. Events G Dis It is seldom that the athlete chos- en to star in any set of games is able to live up to expectations. Whether it is a world's series, an Olympiad or a checker tournament, the unsuspecting dark horse usually forges to the front to take the stellar laurels. : United States had far the best team in the fleld in the Olympic games track and field events and it was therefore not unreasonable to believe than an American - athlete would stand out as the man of the hour in the games. The Americans as a team stood out boldly, but the individual star was an Englishman, Albert Hill. Hill, a veteran runner, gave two of the finest exhibitions of running ever. seen in winning the 800 and 1,- 500-meter runs from the greatest runners of all na{ Hill * had fons. - In the 800-metér run against him such runners as Earl Eby, of America, and B. G. D. Rudd, of South Africa, two of the greatest quarter and half milers. The race was a brilliant struggle, with Eby and Rudd fighting to the stretch and Hill holding back. The pace set was so hot that Rudd fell back and Eby, running blindly, did not notice Hill brush by him a winner. At the close of the race Eby declar- ed it was the hardest race he had ever run and that on the stretch he was actually blinded with agony. Be- cause of the gruelling pace, Eby was forced to remain out of another race. Hill, however had nursed his strength and was able not only to take the half mile run from the greatest half- milers, but also came back two days later and ran Jole Ray, Kander, the Swedish star, and others off their feet in the mile run in a battle which was almost as bitterly fought out to the tape as was the 800-meter run. In the 1,500-meter run Hill set the pace with Ray and then wore the tittle Chicago runner down until he drifted back in the race. From then the Englishman spugted along at such a killing pace that he forced the field to take his dust the entire distance. Two such remarkable demonstra- tions within 48 hours proclaim IIill the greatest middle-distance runner of the period and the . outstanding hero of the Olympic ga-ies. GOULDING WOULD WALK FOR PURSE OF $5,000 --t ee George Goulding is the recipient of a cablegram from the Italian walker, Frigerio, who won the world's cham- plonship walking contests at Antwerp at 3,000 and 10,000 metres, challeng- ing the former title holder to a match in Italy at an early date. The con- test would necessarily be professional. Goulding would be unwilling to walk for a smaller purse than $5,000 and expenses to Rome. The Toronto champion believes that the biggest purse could be secured in New York city, and he will make this suggestion to Frigerio. Adopt C.A.-H.A. Hockey Rules.

The suggestion comes from the wesrern colleges and is partly the result of the: meeting of athletes last month when the Olympic trials were held. ¢ ty 1t" present plans are followed, 'a téam will be picked from the western colleges to come east thi® fall and meet the students of this section of the country, and next year the visit would" be returned by .he eastern college teams and a yearly meet would be held in one or other section of the country. The mee: would bé! in addition to the games held an- nually by the Intercollegiate Athletic | Union, which. embraces McGill, To- ronto, R. M. C. and Queen's. As the Interaollegiate Union meet will be at Toronto this year the Mont- real athletes will endeavor to have the country-wide meet at the McGill | stadium, if it is held at all. During] the past few months the track at the stadium has been practically remade and in former years it was found too | soft for record making, but this de-/ fect has been remedied by the addi-| tion: of a layer of clay and it is in} better condition than ever before. The McGill track team that won | the championship will .return intact; this year and several new men will | also be out. Jack Farthing, who in- | jured himself and was unable to par- | ticipate, will turn out. TO FILL CHAPMAN'S SHOTS | Harry Lunt, the new sHortstop of the; Cleveland American League Team. MACK BLAMES C RS FOR RUTH'S HOME-RUN RECORD American League catchers are not using their brains this year. accord- ing to Connie Mack, as regarde the home runs being piled up by Mr. Ruth, He says: "The catchers are partly to blame for '"Babe's" home runs. He has made only two off my pitchers. "On 6ne of these the crowd was yelling, 'Let him hit it, let him bust it,' so my catcher held his hands qpen | like a basket and the pitcher groov- ed it. Ruth did the rest. He put it somewhere out of the balf park. "My catcher 'told me he didn't mean to call for a groove, but was trying to fool Ruth. The pitcher put it there.

Perhaps it is a perquisite of the truly great that magnanimity shall be a virtue, and if this is so, it is well exemplified in the world of sport by baseball's greatest sensation, "Babe Ruth." The big swatter seldom so much as frowns when a strike is called on him, although he is out to estab- lish a record for home runs this sea- son which will stand for all time, and every decision against him means much. He plays the game without 'side' or cavil and knows how obey the rules. Such splendid con- duct #m a man whose reputation would naturally gain his protests a hearing if he chose to take advant- age of it, is an example for kickers whose frequent '"'ragging" of the umpires brings disorder to the game.
