World's Record

Last week in New York Sabin Carr, of Yale University, rushed at a thin strip of wood suspended horizontally 13 ft. 9 1/4 in. from the floor, vaulted over it. In so doing he had broken the world's record for indoor pole-vaulting, 13 ft. 8 1/4 in., held by Charles Hoff, doubtful amateur of Norway. Excited gentlemen in dinner jackets rushed forward, raised the stick to a height of 14 ft. 1/4 in., urged Sabin Carr to break the outdoor record (13 ft. 11 1/4 in., also held by Mr. Hoff). Mr. Carr tried, could not oblige.
