Sport: Leap
Again the world's indoor record for the running high jump was broken by Harold Osborne—he of the old shoe (TIME, Feb. 9). Last week, in Chicago, he once more brought out his dilapidated track shoe, talisman of victory, looked upon it lovingly, leaped from the ground, cleared the bar at 6 ft. 6⅞* in. at the Central A. A. U. games.
*The world's outdoor record for the high jump is 6 ft. 8¼ in., established by Mr. Osborne in 1924.
