If he could have picked Up just six steps somewhere along the line yesterday as he swept to a new world record of 4:01.4 in beating Arne Andersson, he could have run the distance in a time science once Insisted was impossible. Andersson, who set the previ ous mile mark of 4:01.0 last sum mer, was a distinct favorite when they met on the fast Malmoe track. It was here that An dersson ran his record race on July 18, 1044, but he never had a chance against Hagg yesterday. Victory by the gaunt haber dashery salesman was all the more surprising because of his mediocre showing last spring in an indoor tour of the United States when he failed to win a race and ran all of them in poor time. t E 8 TO 5 VICTORY 1 HOWTH American W.
