The New Zealander didn’t turn on full steam in the back-stretch.Over in Europe we have a youn4* Lovelock, who jogged halfway around the track for exercise after his marvelous mile, left the impression on critics who saw him that he can do better, several seconds better, than 4:07.*, He must have the help of ardent competition to do it. The ambitious Cunningham holds the 800 and 1500-meter championships by virtue of his defeats of Hornboetel, Mangan and Gene Venzke, and needs only a victory in the mile for distance supremacy.iCcjlt;!■]Cunningham is the sort of run-3/3e%hieyrndman from Kansas* n led Glenn ner who beats men who can runCunningham who is touring the boulevards and burning up the cinder strips.

On the theory that man is not unlike a race horsewhich tapers off somewhat after top form is reached, Lovelock is likely to find the Kansas cyclonea handful of-trouble.faster than he can, by which is meant he runs a great competitive race. Knowing what he has to do in a race with Lovelock, he will be ready to do his very best.It m „ sound like heresy to say that Cunningham can beat Lovelock, but if the New Zealander is not in tip-top form that may be the surprising result.In this sort of contest both men may come nearer the four-minute mile, which still a hazy dream, nearer the four-minute mile, which still is a hazy dream.
