PRAISE FOE LOVELOCK

EASY PERFECTION OF STYLE

LONDON, August 7. Commenting upon J. B. Lovelock's performance in winning the one mile event at the Empire Games in 4inin 12 4-ssee, the critics eulogise the easy perfection of Lovelock's running, and declare that if pressed he could have beaten another record.

The final day's events in tho athletic section produced an extraordinary, disparity in agos and build. Richardson, winner of tho long jump, is nearly a six-footer but only 15 years of age, while tho diminutive Canadian, H. Wycr/who was fifth in the Marathon, is agocl 49, and only 01 ' inches in height. In a lightweight contest in the wrestling section of tho 'Empire Games, B. Garrard (Australia) beat Burroughs (Wales) in 65 seconds.

LONDON, August 8.

Ralph Hewins, the Oxford Blue, writing in the "Mirror," describes Lovelock as unbeatable in his present shape, the "most remorseless, frictionless thing ever seen," he says, "his time for the mile was worth 4min ssec on a fast track. He is confident of doing 4min ssec or faster, if necessary, than Nurmi thought possible."
