Vault

To jump with the aid of a stick higher than any other man has ever jumped before is not so hazardous a feat as conquering an empire, taming an element or steering a high-pooped caravel through lost oceans to the shore of some unimagined continent. But men are remembered for any measure, large or small, which they have managed to add to what their fellows previously considered the utmost bound of possibility, and it may be that the name of Charles Hoff will be remembered, for awhile, among a company of great ones. Last week in Oslo, Norwegian capital, Hoff pole-vaulted 13 ft. 10 1/2 in., breaking by 3/4 of an inch his own world's record. Another name that may be inscribed in square-limbed Roman letters in the roll of time is that of Peter Manning, horse. Last week in Cleveland he, trotting champion of the world, established a new world's record for the two-mile trot. His time of 4:10-1/5 sheared five seconds from the U. S. record set by The Harvester at Lexington, Ky., in 1910.
