THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY MAY 9, 1922 SIX Price, the Omaha Central negro, night account for a new record in this. On'y one record was pma-Jied last ear, this lieintr the pn'e vault, Rhodes of Ans-ley went over the bar at 1 feet inches. A slow track probably forestalled other effort, and thit i.iay ugaln be the case. et wash calls received before will be returned by 2 p. m.

Snake Creek and Iierea Lead in the County Ball League Hcrra swnmped I'loasant Hill 2H to 0 in the swonil Kame of the wason, ut I'loasiint Hill. Snake Crwk took a hanl fought anie from the Koil Sox, 8 to 9, in tlie closest county league paine.

This was on the Kod'Snx diamond. Lawn took a tough game from Fuirvirw, VJ to 1.1, after Fairview had cros.ol the late nine times in the first inning. Ash (Jrove took the lung fnil of tlie score from Marble, Good crowds attended ull of the Vanics, there heing two hundiTd at tlie Hill battle. A. Mundt, iiU'hov for the Herea team lot I'leas-tint Hill down with hut two hits, both of wlrrh were made by H.

Abrani. With the score tied at thite all at the end of the sixth inning, Ash (trove liin in seven anil maintained this lead to the end of tlie game, ea. ily defeating Marple. These games leave Snake Creek and Herea tied for first wilh two wins anil no losses. These teams meet May 21, and if neither is defeated before this time, this game will watched with interest.

Snake ('reck meets Ash Grove, loam previously -defeated by Keren, but which lias since defeated Marble, on Sunday, May 14. This will help to pet a line on the respective utrength of the two teams. The standing of the teams is follows: Team Korea 2 Snake Creek 2 Ash Grove 1 I 1 Marple 1 Ked Sox 1 Fairview 0 l'leasant Hill 0 as L. 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 Pet 1000 1000 noo r.oo roo r.oo ooo ooo Joe Kase Appears as Likely Candidate for Olympic Honors Joe Knse, formerly unknown, but now likely candidate for Olympic honors, smashed the world's record in the 100 yard dash beyond repair when he negotiated this distance in a secial event at the western Nebraska track meet lust Friday afternoon. His time for the entire dash was nine and one-fifth seconds.

(This time taken by Mr. Kase who noted the time when he t-tarted and when he finished from his lugersoll.) Only four entered the race with this now famous speedster, the three hcing "Kill" Harier, Glen 'Flash' Sanders and "SjKjed" Neiman. It is not known as yet whether the record will be accepted as good by the A. A. as there was a slight wind leliind the runners.

The starter claims, however, that sensing a new record, he waited for the wind to tlie down before he stalled the men. Mr. Kase states that had he been pushed he is sure he could have traveled the route in nine seconds flat. All of the run ners were street ciotnesj uue to the fact that the race was a rather impromtu alfaijr. Should Mr.

Kase pM slightly more back to nature, there is little doubt but that he could have lowered his new record at least two te-conds. The race as a matter of fact was gotten up rather in the spirit of fun, each man "chipping in" until a pot of $3.50 was raised. This was to go to the winner, and but for the fact that W. It. Pate worked on the sympathies of the stake holder, Hev.

B. J. Minort, mil got him to donate the money to the high school athletic fund, it would have. More talent was uacovered when it was found that Mr. Kase was unable to catch the hky pilot, who promptly left the field.

Had Rev. Minort been in the race there is no way of telling what heights of terrific sjhxhI might huve lxcn reached. However, Mr. Kase has the honor, and the high whool has the money, so all's well. Many Western Records Broken at Track Meet The track meet Friday considerably the list of western Nebraska records, only six of the old records- remaining unbroken.

Uailey and Lin- brought the high hurdles record ven with the stute mark in this event, i'hc two oldest records, the relay held by Alliance, and the broad jump re- ord held by Semnions of Kayard were broken. All of the records standing at present were made either in '21 or 22. Semmons' record in the century dash equals the state record, whi'e I-owry's mark in the javelin probj.bly surpasses anything that has ever lecn made in the state, although this is not a state meet event. Following are the records: 100-vnrd daslvr-Scmmons, Kayard, 10 220 yard dash Dailey, Alliance, 22 410 yard dash Strong, Alliance, Li 1-5, KS0 yard run Strong, Alliance 2:08 3-5, Mile run rruitt, ScottsblufT, 5:10, 1921. 120 high hurdles Pailey, Alliance, and Lingle Morrill, 10 3-5, 1922.

220 low hurdles Covington, Morrill, 27 3 5, 1922. Shot put Campbell, ScottsblufT, 42 feet 3l2 inches, 1921. Pole vault Lingle, Morrill, 10 feet inches, 1921. Discuss throw Campbell, Scotts-blutf, 104 feet inches, 1921. High jump Lingle Morrill, 5 feet 4 3-4 inches ,1922.

Broad Jump Lingle, 20 feet 2 inches, 1922. Javelin throw Lowry, Morrill, 160 feet 8 inches, 1922. Relay Morrill, 1:39 2-5, 1922. Some Old Records May Be Broken at the State Meet It seems likely, from reports coming in from over the state, that the rec ord; of the state track meet arc likely to fall. One that seems most in dan ger is the broad jump, of twenty-one leet 2Mi inches.

Rhodes of Ansley lumped 22 feet 1 inch in a meet lately, while Wier of Superior has eoualed the record. The 220-yard dash, which has stood since 1904 will also have a numler of young athletes earnestly trying to ruin it, and as a numlier have been running this distance in alxiut a fifth slower than the state mark of 22:2 it will at least be in danger. Dai lev of Alliance, if in will have a good chance to establish a new record, 'ihe high hurdles, another old record seeris in dnnger, nnd this from Lingle of Morrill. Lingle was clocked with Dailey at 1G 3-5, both equaling the record, while Lingle later in the dav made it one fifth of a second less, but was di. qualified for knocking down three hurdles.

The old record of 10 1-5 in the yard dash is likely to be equaled, but will probably not be broken, for the high school athlete who can hang up a mark of 10 seconds under rendition, such as prevail at the state meet i little short of a marvel. Rhodes of Ansley might break his own record in the pole vault, but this is unlikely The 440-yard dash mark, which is not extremely fast might' be broken, Wilbur Hi School Win the State '22 Pentathlon Wilber high school won the state interschoolastic pentathlon for 1921 with a team total of 15,59 points This betters the mark hung up bj Beatrice last year by 178 points. Thi record make by such an obscure team as the Wilberites is little short marvelous, and the state meet wili show definitely whether or not thi team can duplicate their record. Beatrice, last year's champs, walked awaj with the state meet. It remains to Ik seen if the Wilber athletes can repeal this feat.

North Platte, finishing second, has tome good men, particular in Locke and Shaner, and will no doubt make any team in the state step. The record of Kd Wier of Superioi in rolling up a total of 4,781 oints i-one that will seldom if ever be duplicated. Records for 1922. 120-yard high hurdles L'. Weir, Su- jierior, 16 2-5 seconds.

5 leet inches. Of the eight event, the state record was broken in all but three. Locke of North Platte broke a record of long standing when he stepped the 220 in 22 1-5. Ihe state record is 1-5 of a second slower. These records do not of course have any official standing as state records as the state records must be made at the state meet.

Weir beat the state mark by an even foot when he broad-jumped 22 feet 2'i inches. Weir also ran the high hur dles one-fifth of a second faster than the state mark. Ralph Garvin, of Alliance high fin ished twenty-first in the state, while I'ailey was thirty-fourth, with Beal father down on the list. Strong was also in the honorable mention list. Dailey, Strong and Beal, have all made records since the closing of the pentathlon, which if they could have been included would have placed them much higher.

Garvin throw of 112 feet with the discus was the third best in the state, while Real's record in the half mile was also third. The Alliance team as a whole finished eleventh in the state, of eighteen entries. 1922 Team inners.

Price, Omaha Central colored sprinter, set a new record of 22 seconds in the 220-yanl dash and also broke the tape in the 440 in 2-5 seconds. These records are of course not to be taken at face value as they were made with a strong wind behind the runners.

Ordinarily the dusky sprinter would i run the 440 around 53 seconds, and the 220 in about 23 seconds. All the records are very giod, however, and the team that beats Ceniial v. .11 know that thoy have at lea-t I ven in a meet. Wet wash calls received before St. '50 will be returned by 2 p.
