W, Kerrigan, Special Correspon- denes. . New York, March . Many of those Interested will remember when C. Gilbert pole vaulter Of the Mult nomah club, also of the Vale track team. went back east last fs!l, ha was quea- tloned by the different athletes and newspaper men as to ths authenticity of Kelly's record. And through the many questions asked and .responded to by Gilbert, one of the newspapers In New York Interpreted some ot the "re marks mad by Gilbert as antagonistic to Kelly's ability to -run tn the time accredited, t-i -seconds. The result wss a big newspaper story, with big headlines, ssylng that "Kelly did not run tn nine and three-fifths: - also that Gilbert of the Multnomah club was the author of such a story. Well, as a matter ef fact, since being here I have Inquired very diligently Into the affair, and find that there Is but little foundation to the story at all. Not only have I seen Gilbert himself, . but many others as well, who are intimate with Gilbert, and were his companions for many days during his stay at Travers Island, and are emphatic in say ing that all Gilbert could talk about was Kelly's ability In different athletic events at all times. Lauding him to the skies. "In fact, ws got tired hearing about him," wss the unanimous remark from the athletes and enthusiasts. Ths rest of the newspaper men say all they could hear from Gilbert was praise for Kelly and his record. WTsat Clubmen Thought. At the time the story was In the paper the clipping was cut out by the club and poated on the bulletin board In the reception hall, where everybody could It. Naturally there were many com ments on the story, and every one. was loud in criticising Gilbert for saying such things detrimental to Kelly s Tec- ord. Not only by the members and the board of directors," but by the sporting paper as well, were these criticisms made. Yet there were many that doubted such a story being told by Gilbert, and said so at the time. StlU nothing could be made of It until It was made clear by seeing Gilbert himself. What made it look so bad was that It said that Gilbert attended the games and held a watch himself on the reoe," said the newspsper. and followed by saying "that not only did they make a mistake In the timing, but that they used smoksless powder la the starting gun, as welL The result that no smoke or flesh could be seen by the timers and could only be timed by the report beard at a hundred yards, which would make at least onerflfth second differ ence at least, this being enough to mske a world's record marlu Another thing that Bill Hayward. Kelly's trainer, held a watch on the race as well and at the finish of the race a( 4-1 seconds; and. In fact, many others were there who doubted the time, and that there could be so little difference between Kelly and the second, third and fourth .man at the finish of the race. If Kelly was running in t-C seconds, as they would all be within the same time mark, and not being able to discriminate be tween - seconds and t S-l seconds on a stop watch, the fifth being the smallest fraction made, there was no way of telling whether the other men were In the -i or the M. The dls tance between the first and second man being only five feet apart, or less, so It Is Impossible to say what time to give the second man, who surely did not run In -(, too, as Mr. Gilbert says himself that Carey, who was the second man, could only run In 1 seconds. What Gary Raya. But on 'Questioning Mr. Car, aha. by the way. Is at Yale with Mr. nil. bert, be said that there was fully five or six ymras netween himself and Kelly at the finish of the race. And he also said that J. E. Sullivan before the annual meeting of last November wrote to him on the same subject, or wrote to Mr. Gilbert, who la his roonr mats there In New Haven. This, he said, was done at the last minute be fore the meeting of the record commit tee and he and Mr. Gilbert feel quite sure It was this evidence (the differ ence between himself snd Mr. Kelly ha the race) thst turned the record In favor of Mr. Kelly. On questioning Mr. Sullivan here In New York on the subject he said em phatically that It was the afflvadlta msda out by the various officials who were present, at . the- race that settled the question of the record. But still Mr. Gilbert wss mors than In favor of It snd had volunteered Information In regard -to the distance between Kelly and Cary at the finish of the 100 yards. 'Be with all this Information St our disposal and the real facts tn the cass It can readily be seen that Gilbert was the sustaining Influence that at the very last helped to make the .record a possibility. On laat Thursday Edgar Frank, who has been practicing here at the New York Athletic club. Paul Pilgrim, who won the 400 and iOO yard meter races at Athens and myself met Mr. Gilbert, who wss on his way to Trenton, New Jersey, to attend the wrestling cham pionship, and all had dinner together. Gilbert then told us of the sentiment existing In varloue localities In "and sbout New York In regard to Kelly's record. That many doubts exlstel In ths minds of sll ths different sthletes and trainers thst Kelly made the time, snd would have to be shown by seeing Kelly do 4.( BDT w.r They nevar will be satisfied until they do see him do 1t And from the remsrks made on every hand in rerr1 to It Kelly will have to do something further befors theae skeptical ones will ever believe It. So tt la up te the. northwest to send Kelly or a team of men to Ja men town for the . A. V. championship. In September. If not a teem Kelly will have to go anyway and the northwest owes It to blm and should send him. Mr. Gilbert did not take part ac tively tn the wrestling.

He certainly is, too, by ths way he works while on the mat His weight' In condition Is only sbout 13S pounds and he looks Ilka he couldn't wrestle for a cent, but he Is deceiving. The last man In ths world you would lick for a wrestler.

But O'Connell turned the tables on htm, throwing him twice tn li minutes, Msx refusing to go on any further with him.

I have seen Mr. Rulltvan In regards to the ruling snd Its restriction snd find that It Is not as severe ss It looks. In the meantime If Kelly runs and enters from Oregon In the Seattle opmi meet ,he will be disqualified according to the new ruling. He must enter from Multnomah or he cannot compete. It will not affect his standing st the uni versity by competing for he club. But U he enters from his roUege In sn open meet he Is dlsnuallfled for a whole yesr. It was Gilbert's esse exactly.
