JUDGE IN WALKING
H. H. Whitlock, the Olympic walking champion, made a great appeal for moro international walks at the annual supper of the Road Walking Associa-r tion. Whitlock was a guest of honour with T. W. Richardson, the new 100 miles world record holder. In making his appeal Whitlock pointed out that walking was spreading enormously in Europe, and all tho countries wore anxious to do battle. "It would be a good thing if we could arrange at least track walks," Whitlock added, "even if they were over only a mile." Whitlock is firmly of tho opinion that one judgo is quite sufficient in all road walks. "If one judgo has not the courago of his own convictions and is not prepared to make up his own mind when a walker is breaking the rules, then that judgo should take himself off the list," was the terse way Whitlock put it.
