Our athletes today equalled one world record (Marjorie Jackson's 24.3s in the 220 yards final) and set four new Empire Games records. Australians filled first and second places in the men's and women's 220 yards finals and the 120 yards hurdles, and took a clean sweep of all the places in the hop, step and jump. GIRLS' GREAT PERFORMANCE i Jfi M.m rcoruary Handicap, holds Penmore is an acceptor for both the Glenfield Handicap (about lm). with 8-5, and the first Sunnybrook Handicap (about If), with 10-3.

The biggest shock of to-night's series was the defeat of Ron Gower, of Tasmania. Gower, who emerged from the Olympic Games as Australia's best boxer, was clearly outpointed. Australia gained another finalist when Billy Seewitz. of Melbourne, won against Cingalese Tom Maguire, manager of Dave Sands, said last night that he would dclav Sands's departure for England until April or early May if Stadiums Ltd. could provide opponents, for him in the meantime.

Treloar regards David Johnson, who finished second, as likely to firove the best runner in Austra-ia before long.

"He has great prospects, and performed wonderfully well for a schoolboy," John said. Johnson, who paid his own expenses to Auckland, was jubilant at finishing behind Treloar. "My time was the fastest long I have ever run, and it surprised me," Johnson said. a surprisingly good performance only two days after his hard run in the half-mile championship.
