In winning tho second heat of the women's 90yds. hurdles at a recent meeting at the Sydney Sports Gronud, Miss Clarice Kennedy (Western Suburbs) established a new Australian and State record. However, she had started against medical advice, suffering from an injured knee, which, in tho race, was actually heard to crack as she landed over the lifth hurdle. That sho finished at all is truly remarkable, but tho fact that she broke tho record ranks her performance ns one of the most courageous in the history of athletics, irrespective of sex. Her leg gave way completely after the race, and sho had to bo assisted from the ground. On examination it, was found that she had fractured her right kneecap, and she was admitted to hospital, where she is expected to remain some time.
