Dillinger Mystery: Guns, Gushes and Double Deaths

San Romani Wows Rivals With Fast 3 000 Meters Performance
Archie San Romani of Kansas clocked 8 27.4 for 3000 meters to set an American citizen record and narrowly beat Don Lash at the Knights of Columbus meet in New York. Lash ran 8 27.5 and Joe McCluskey 8 30.8 as Lash and McCluskey chase world marks. San Romani, surprised by the fast pace, said he could have challenged Nurmi’s world record with more experience. He noted turns on Madison Square Garden’s banked track but said the long straightaways allowed strong acceleration. Lash, five pounds overweight, conceded defeat but aimed for a rematch this weekend in the two-mile. Cunningham, returning from a fall that ended his 800m streak, also competed in the 1,000 yards.
