CABRASER HEIMANN 275 Battery Street 30th Floor San Francisco, CA 94111 Facsimile (415)956-1008 Marc Another record for Bubka TOKYO (AP) If Sergei Bubka's failure to clear a height at the Barcelona Olympics left anyone in doubt, he proved again Saturday that he is the best pole vaulter in the world, setting a world record of 20 feet, l'a inches. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis, meanwhile, continued to have his problems in the 100-meter dash, losing again to Dennis Mitchell.

Bubka soared to his 32nd world record at the Toto International track and field meet, easily clearing the record height on his first attempt. He broke the record of 20-1 he set at Padua, Italy, Aug. 30. Bubka has raised the world record by fractions of an inch on each of his last eight record-setting performances, because each time he breaks the mark he earns bonus money from meet organizers. "I hope I can keep this going until Atlanta," the Ukranian said.

Atlanta is the site of the 1996 Olympics. But Bubka added, "I try to forget things as soon as possible. All I want to think of now is jumping 6.14 (meters, 20-1)."
