The American amateur record authorities have ever been watch- ful of our record books, and the editor of this publication has devoted a great deal of his time during these many years to in- vestigating and following closely each claim for a record that has been made and announced. The Almanac represents the official decisions of all athletic governing bodies that pass upon records. Nevertheless, the editor takes it upon himself on this occasion to act aside from all governing bodies and expunges from the American Records the name of Arthur F. Duffey. That this de- cision is an honest one, will, in time, be admitted by all govern- ing bodies throughout the world, and, no doubt, within one year his name will have been expunged officially by the athletic gov- erning bodies of America, Great Britain and Australia, and the college athletic organizations as well. For over a quarter of a century our American records have been absolutely honest. The Record Committee of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, and the record authorities who preceded the present Record Committee, were always willing to judge each claim for a record absolutely upon its merits and deciJe accordingly. The compilation and the following up of records is no easy matter; an enormous amount of work is entailed, and one must be up to the tricks, absolutely, which are known to be committed by athletic officials who are willing to forge fake records on our books. I am sorry to say that in some parts of this country dis- honesty among athletic officials has been found. As a result, records claimed by such men are invariably doubted. So far as the Official Athletic Almanac is concerned, its standard will be maintained, and if the editor can be convinced that a record has been fraudulently made, it will never appear in our record books. That Arthur Duffey's name has crept into our records wrongfully must be acknowledged by any true sportsman, and from now on the American athletic records will be considered as though Duffey had never competed. This is a step forward in the government of honest and clean sport. J. E. Sullivan. SPALDING S OFFICIAL ATHLETIC ALMANAC. 11 AMERICAN AMATEUR RUNNING RECORDS. 20 jards—2 4-5s., E. B.
