FIELD AND TRACK By J. H. CLAUSEN. Athletes of America and England changed several of the records at athletic sports during the year 1902, and among the swimmers the year was particularly good for record-breaking. No international meeting between the United States and Great Britain took place, but three American athletes S. S. Jones, of the New York A. C.; A. F. Duffey, of Georgetown University, and W. W. Coe, of Boston-were among the winners at the British athletic championships. In the tables which follow an effort has been made to keep the standard events prominent and to avoid such records as 51 yards, at running, 97 yards at hurdling, and odd distances at walking, swimming or skating. All the records given below are correct, and several advertised performances do not find a place here for the reason that they have not been vouched for in a satisfactory manner. RUNNING RECORDS.
