************************* DAEGU MEETING Paul Jenes will attend the World Championships in Daegu, and there is a good chance that Lennart Julin and Tom Casacky will also be there. ATFS members should contact Paul in the Media Center or via his cell phone (see below). The best day for a meeting (or even an informal gathering, perhaps over lunch) is Wednesday, 31 August, when only a morning walk event is scheduled. We shall hope to see many of you, as your schedules permit.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear ATFS Members, We plan to have an ATFS meeting in Daegu during the World Championships. We believe that a small number of members may be in attendance. If this is the case we will let people know venue and date as soon as possible. There are a number of issues to discuss and also prepare for ATFS elections which are due next year. The Executive is up for re-election and this is an opportunity for other members to get onto the Executive if they are keen to do so. We also need to address the future of our organization as to what we want to do, as well as the website and what it needs to have on it. As members your input is vital, as it is your association. We look forward to hearing from you even if you cannot make it to any meeting. For those who do come to Daegu, I will be staying in the media village. My mobile/cell phone is 0414 563 316. If you need the Australian prefix and area code, it is 613 before the number and you drop the first zero. If I get further contact details once in Daegu (arrive 23 Aug), I will relay them through Tom Casacky. Best wishes, Paul

TREASURER'S REPORT (as of 31 July 2011) IAAF President Lamine Diack wrote the following in his introduction to the 2011 Daegu Statistics Handbook: “This book is a collection of data which has been painstakingly compiled by members of the Association of Track & Field Statisticians (ATFS), who for more than 60 years now have been the ones who have been putting the statistics of our sport in order. On behalf of the IAAF Family, I send my thanks for their assiduousness, without which we would be lost.” ATFS Treasury at last accounting (Bulletin 1/2011) 76,692.32 USD

ATFS Treasury at 31 July 2011 77,226.81 USD

A detailed account of income and expenses is available on request. As usual, our largest yearly expenditure is the fee for sending Athletics 2011 to all members in good standing. The book was mailed from the U.K. in early May; if you did not receive your copy, please contact me immediately. Remember that the treasury exists for your benefit, and to fund ATFS projects. Members are always encouraged to apply to the Executive for assistance with projects or in case of financial difficulties. The following names have now been removed from the ATFS roster.

THE U.S. 7th ARMY’S OCCUPATION OF TRACK TERRITORY By Ulf Lagerstrom (ATFS, Brasil)

In 1953 three runners were faster than all others in the world at 100m, by the watch. They did 10.3. That time was just one-tenth off the world record, and in the Olympic year of 1952 only one athlete was credited with it in legitimate conditions. The three 1953 world list co-leaders were all Americans, which was not really a big surprise. However, a stunning fact is that two of them, both being US 7th Army soldiers stationed in Germany, were completely unknown. “Well, sprinters and their strange marks…,” many a track statistician may have thought. All three posted their bests in Germany, where the tracks were known to be well-laid and fast. Abe (Abram) Butler was the first of the unheralded pair to drop his bomb, albeit very discreetly. On 8 July at Nürnberg, in trials for the Inter-Allied championship, he was clocked in 10.3 at 100m, followed by two other USAREUR soldiers, Ralph Butler and Jim Brown, who tied in 10.4. A report considered conditions legitimate. The marks still remain unlisted though ATFS and other statistical compilations. Now Ralph Butler, who had begun his campaign with an 11.0 performance in mid-May, in unknown conditions, was gunning for Abe. He got his revenge only five days later in trials, also staged at Nürnberg, for the big, international CISM championship. There Ralph went to town. He annihilated Abe´s powers and easily won in 10.4 while his adversary failed badly and finished metres back, with Jim behind in third. There was a slight headwind and the course was not quite dry. On 19 July they again clashed, in the Inter-Allied contest, for which the Army athletes selected were ordered to appear at Nürnberg three weeks before the meet for special work-outs. Abe got off fast in the 100m and was in the lead until Ralph came with a mad rush in the last 25 metres and nipped him. A metre separated the pair at the tape. Times: 10.3 and 10.4, respectively. John Crumplin of Britain was third, some four metres behind. Jim Brown was not in the final, but took the LJ event, and he and Ed Mims completed Ralph and Abe in the 4x100 m relay, which the squad won in a 41.5 record. Then on the 24th, the three B´s all ran the semis in the military CISM meet in Bruxelles. On a heavy track, Ralph came first in his in a fine 10.5, followed by Abe (10.8), while Jim took the other one (10.9) over the only French finalist. But then something happened. Ralph did win the final a day later, though with a sluggish 10.8 effort, whereas Abe (11.0), running semi-injured and with both legs taped, was edged out of the second-place by a French third-string international. The latter, a Gabon-born 10.7-performer at best, finished just a metre behind Ralph in 10.9. Jim Brown ended up fifth. Neither Ralph nor Jim showed any of their previous brilliance, for reasons unknown. Did they feel lost before an unusually large crowd, made up of some 45,000 noisy fans? Anyhow, the three B´s, completed by half-lap specialist Robinson, captured the relay title in 42.1. After that, Abe did not appear at any more meets; probably he returned home and was discharged. Yet Ralph and Jim continued to compete, and in mid-August the former won the USAREUR South sprint in 10.6 at München, while Jim collected the North title at Frankfurt with the same time. On 22 August the all-USAREUR finals took place at Augsburg. The outcome of the century run was another surprise. Those who thought that with Abe out of his way, Ralph would be the obvious choice for the victory, were mistaken. Jim Brown finished with a metre up on the favourite, in 10.6. Yet one week later at Ansbach, it was Ralph who again emerged as winner, in 10.5, with Brown second. Ten days after the Inter-Allied meet, the third 10.3 was produced, also in Germany, by touring Art Bragg, who was the ruling national AAU champion at 100 yards and who in Helsinki a year earlier very likely had been stopped from winning the Olympic 100m gold by injury. Now, were the two army runners of the same class as Bragg? Competitively, hardly. In sheer speed, at the right moment, perhaps. They seemed to possess great natural talent, to be easily trained for the short dash, however not well

enough to negotiate the double distance. (Yet later, at college, they were made to run both). Obviously, Abe’s forte was the first 60-70m, after which point he mostly was unable to maintain his speed, probably because of lack of adequate training. Both of them had no doubt done something on the tracks before, albeit unreported, even though Ralph denied it. Abe had briefly been at North Carolina A&T before enlistment, and Ralph had attended Fessenden Academy in Florida. Ralph, 1.73 m tall and strongly built, was 22 years of age. The news about Abe’s 10.3 performance (and Brown’s 10.4) never reached the outside, non-military world at the time, whereas Ralph’s did. The three B’s were stationed at different locations: Abe at München with a military police battalion, Ralph at Heidelberg with the signal corps, and Jim Brown at WA-Command, Kaiserslautern. Jim probably was identical to a USAREUR basketball star with that name. To confuse the issue there was also a “fourth B” mentioned in meet summaries: Bob Brown, a 100m specialist albeit not as fast as the others. He also tried the triple jump. In early June, one of the Browns was close to dead-heating the German star, Heinz Fütterer, in an open 100 at Oberhausen, and we assume it was Jim. Both were timed in 10.5. Three years later, two other US Army sprinters, Willie Williams and Ira Murchison, set up a new world record in the CISM meet in Berlin. On a humid track they were timed in 10.1. Certainly, the legitimacy of their performances was much doubted, but later their 10.1s were duly recognized by the IAAF after investigation. Ten years earlier, an ex-high school sprint marvel, Lt Charley Parker of Texas, posted a 10.2, a statistical world leader and equal to the global record, in an all-military meet in Japan. In 1954 Abe could be found in Ohio, a freshman at Baldwin Wallace College, where two other ex-USAREUR sprinters also had studied: Harrison Dillard and Charles Edwards. Competing unattached, Abe made a sensation indoors in March at Cleveland by edging out the favourite, Willie Williams, in his semi, and then winning the final in “world record” 4.9 at 45 yards. Again, people wished to know who the speedy, unknown runner was. In April he again surprised most, this time by defeating Murchison by two feet in the Ohio Relays 100 yards. In June, Butler took the NE Ohio AAU sprint titles, though with mediocre times. Trackwise his college was not competing in a “big league” circuit, and Abe was not sent to the major championships, which may have made him lose interest in training hard. Yet he was being regarded as one of the topnotch trackmen of the state by the local press. In February 1955, he once more made the headlines when equaling the world record at 60 yards, running 6.1 on the fast, indoor dirt track at Chicago. In March he did 5.8 at 55 yards. Later, he narrowly beat star Glenn Davis in the Ohio Relays 100 in 9.7. In 1956 Abe did not come through to any similar career highlights. Indoors he did not sparkle. In April he assisted the B-W team in winning the Penn Relays sprint medley event, college section, in a record time, but in the Ohio 100 he was shunted to third. In 1957 he was not in form but was entered in the NAIA meet in June, allegedly with a 9.5 best. Statistics, however, list 9.6 (1955) as his lifetime best. Ralph Butler is another story. In March 1954 he appeared at the Central AAU indoor meet in Chicago, capturing the 60 yard title in 6.3. Next news, at the end of June, indicated that he was a member of the Chicago CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) team that unexpectedly won the national AAU sprint relay title, beating the Texas University world record holders in fine 40.8 at 4x110 yards at Buffalo NY. The CYO squad featured speedsters Willie Williams and Ira Murchison. Ralph enrolled at Compton JC, where experienced coach Herschel Smith, an ex-sprinter himself, was all enthusiasm as to his new protégé’s gifts. “This boy can explode,” he said, “He doesn’t look good running, but he’s got it. Potentially he’s the finest sprinter in the country in the 100, and is still learning to run the furlong.” Ralph immediately became a reliable point-getter for his college in meets during the spring of 1955, and went on in the same way in 1956. Yet he was not the biggest sprint star on the Cal JC circuit. Towering Dick Dorsey was as fast as Ralph in 1955, or even a bit faster, and a year later little Ken Dennis was

challenging him. In his first campaign at Compton, Ralph won the Western (Cal) JC double in excellent 9.6/20.9 times, shattering the straight furlong conference record by half a second. He managed to avoid defeat — until he clashed with Dorsey at the Southern Cal JC championship in early May. Then Dick took his measure in the 100, Ralph second, and at 220 the latter faded to fourth. Butler also assisted his college’s teams in setting JC relay records, at 4x110 (41.5) and in a medley event. In the sprints, a teammate of his was the 1954 South African champ, Ed Mendelsohn. Ralph and Dick again clashed in the 1955 West Coast Relays JC 100 in mid-May. Twenty-five yards out the Compton boy was in the lead, when hard luck struck. He suffered a bad muscle pull, and was out for the rest of the season. Dick Dorsey won with 9.6. Ralph certainly was unable to even try to run down Dorsey in the state meet later that month. In an early-season dual meet against the USC freshmen in 1956, Ralph won the double and posted 10.5 at 110 yards. His other fast clockings were 9.4 and 20.7 albeit aided by 3 mps winds. In 1956 he placed fourth in the Kansas Relays 100, won the Western JC century though being thrashed at 220. In the Southern meet, he and Dennis were fighting it out even in their 220 heat, the two of them dead-heating in a no-wind 20.9. The finals offered more fierce battles, out of which Ralph emerged victorious with 9.6/21.0 performances. Yet in the state meet Ken Dennis took both sprint finals with Ralph as runner-up a yard behind. Kenny had to produce 9.5/20.9 to save his skin. Before that, the pair were entered for the West Coast Relays, at which Butler won the JC 100 (9.8), while Dennis chose to take a lane in the open event. Both of them decided to battle with the big boys at Compton and then in the AAU 100. Ken did well, whereas Ralph ended up seventh in the Compton Invitational race and fifth in his AAU heat. During the season he was suffering from back pains, which may have hampered his progression. In the autumn, Butler reportedly was a transfer to LA State College, but probably nothing came of it. Early in 1957 he was entered for meets by the So Cal Striders club. In case he started, his participation was less than successful. Thus, the track careers of both Butlers came to a low-key end that year, without their ever being able to reproduce their European performances. At home they were two yards slower than in Germany. They might be likened to those preps who produce fast times in their school meets but are unable to exhibit the same speed while attending college, for different reasons. The question of why the pair of them were a couple of yards faster in Germany, or more precisely at the Nürnberg stadium, remains unanswered. Did US Army procedures as to starting, timing and/or wind speed readings not conform to AAU rules? Yet probably they did. The USAREUR soldiers´ fastest clockings in 1953 at 100 metres: 10.3 (1) ABE BUTLER Nürnberg 08 July 10.3 (1) RALPH BUTLER ditto 19 July 10.4 (2=) JIM BROWN ditto 08 July 10.4 (2=) Ralph Butler ditto 08 July 10.4 (1) Ralph Butler ditto 13 July 10.4 (2) Abe Butler ditto 19 July Ralph Butler also ran 10,5 twice, Brown once. Excluding the USAREUR marks, only one athlete in 1953 (Bragg) was credited with 10.3, and three (all civilians) with 10.4, in legitimate conditions, according to the ATFS Annual. AAU ex-champ Jim Ford of the US Air Force, based in France, clocked 9.6 at 100 yards. Principal source: “The Stars and Stripes”(European edition)

1952 OLYMPIC GAMES FIELD EVENT QUALIFYING MARKS by Bill Mallon (ATFS, USA)

Beginning in 1960, the Official Reports of the Olympic Games began to become complete, with

full marks and results in virtually all events, with only a few exceptions. Prior to that time, however, the Official Reports were not complete by any means. In track & field athletics, in particular, one large gap has always been the results of the qualifying rounds in the field events. Although the results are usually available for the best marks (at least for 1936-1956), the entire series of marks in the field events does not exist for many years.

One of my projects over the years has been reconstructing all the results of the Olympic Games, in all sports, all events, and all competitors. Thus this gap in the athletics results has been particularly vexing to me. With the assistance of many athletics historians worldwide we have been able to come up with many of the qualifying results, but not all of them. One gap, in particular, was that only the best marks were known for the qualifying in the 1952 Olympic Games at Helsinki.

This is no longer true. With the assistance of Vesa Tikander, the director of the Sports Museum of Finland, the marks are now available to us. After asking him about this omission, Vesa told me that his museum did not have the original results sheets but that they were kept at the Helsinki City Archives. He then kindly visited the archives and copied down the results from the original score sheets, so that now, all qualifying round marks are known. In addition, several errors in the Official Report have been discovered – these are footnoted after the marks.

Below are all the qualifying round marks in the field events at the 1952 Olympic Games. One interesting thing to note is how the athletes were separated into groups – this was done alphabetically. There was no qualifying round in women’s high jump, which began with only a final. In men’s shot put and women’s shot put, discus throw, and javelin throw, there were no groups, as all competitors in the qualifying competed together. In addition to the marks, we are now able to determine precise placements in the qualifying rounds, as ties can be broken, since we know the heights cleared in the vertical jumps, and the sequence of throws and horizontal jumps. Please note that in this era, in the vertical jumps, there was another tie-breaker, after misses at final height and total misses, with total attempts used as the third tie-breaker.

BOOKS AND OTHER MATERIAL FOR SALE Members who produce publications that could be of interest to others can send one copy of their work to the treasurer. I will publicize it in the Bulletin and on the public (if you wish) and Member sections of the website, and can also list it elsewhere. Be sure you include contact and pricing information with your publication. New titles or editions: African Athletics 2011 — This is the 30th (!) edition of Yves Pinaud’s African Athletics and an absolute must for statisticians. Complete details are given for the 2010 season with 100 deep lists for men and women, all-time lists, records, results of international meetings and much more. Certainly the definitive work on the subject. 152 pages. The price is €20 Euros, $30 USD or 18 Pounds Sterling. You can order from Yves at La Mémoire du Sport, 46 rue des Bordeaux, 94220 Charenton-le-Pont, France. African Annuals for 2008-2010 are available for $10 each (plus postage) from info@atfs.org. African Athletics 1959 and 1961 are the second and third in a series of booklets reconstructing never-before published annual lists of performers from the earliest years of African athletics by Yves, as part of the Historical and Statistical Project. The booklets are 18 and 20 pages and are available from the address above for €10 Euros each, or $15 US (banknotes preferred). The Official History of the Amateur Athletic Association 1880-2010 — Mel Watman (ATFS, GBR) has been writing with intelligence and authority about athletics for more than 50 years (he first went to the AAA Championships as a 12-year-old in 1950) and his enthusiasm and knowledge make him the ideal author of this book. Subtitled “the story of the world’s oldest athletic association,” this book details 130 years of British athletics in a handsome, 388-page volume (with 64 pages of photographs, many in color). Mel takes the reader through the long and fascinating history of the AAA, building the text around a succinct summary of each Championship meet. He packs in a wealth of detail yet always maintains a most readable style, with details of the successes of British athletes each year, interjecting nuggets such as the future careers of top athletes or the first appearances of top stars. He concentrates on the deeds of the athletes as he traces lightly through the political side of the story of the first 100 years, but there is increased emphasis on the background issues from the 1980s, with the moves towards a single governing

body for British athletics, the legitimising of payments to athletes and the merging of men’s and women’s associations and competitions. The main text is followed by profiles of the 14 AAA presidents and lists of all AAA champions from 1980 at all age groups. As Mel writes in his introduction: “This book is devoted solely to men’s athletics; a history of the Women’s AAA and WAAA Championships from 1922 (the WAAA merged with AAA in 1991 to become the AAA of England) is in the course of preparation.” The current volume is available from SportsBooks Ltd. (www.sportsbooks.ltd.uk) for 20 Pounds Sterling.

The Greatest Athletes of the Modern Era: Statistics from Early Years to the Present — This is a series of 70+ page books by ATFS member Ari Torma (FIN), who has endeavored to produce top-10 lists for each event for each year from 1881 to the present. However, these are not “conventional” lists, because the author has included all athletes (even those who did not compete at or were disqualified from “amateur” fixtures), all known competitions, corresponding distances where relevant (e.g., combined 100M/100Y lists) and varied timing methods. He has utilized a series of mathematical equations to interpolate and extrapolate marks to account for differences in distance and conditions. The result are lists which, while always clearly indicating the “original” mark, rank the athletes in the order of their (frequently, prior to electronic timing) converted marks. The author has clearly undertaken an enormous amount of research and data collection, and his work will be controversial for some and very interesting reading for many others. He has published three 78-page volumes to date: men’s 100, 200 and 400 metres. Additional volumes are forthcoming. You can see samples from the books and find ordering information at http://www.aritorma.net/e/index.html; click on the “Athletics” tab. Or write to Ari at Kuusikuja 8, 20720 Turku, Finland. Javelin Statistics — ATFS member Tony Isaacs (GBR) continues his documentation of the men’s Javelin Throw and is producing one of the most extensive single event compilations. To date, Tony has published six parts: 1: Narrative History; 2: Olympic Games and World Championships; 3: Inter-Continental Games and Championships; 4: Africa; 5: Asia; 6: Oceania. Further parts are scheduled to follow: 7: Americas; 8: Europe, plus an update to bring the record up to 311210. Tony wishes to thank all the ATFS members who have helped him with this project, and notes that reports of his demise are premature! Copies can be obtained from Tony at 43 St. Georges Road, Felixstowe, Suffolk, IP11 9PN, England. Price: any single Part for £5 (bank cheque) or €5 Euros (banknote), or any three Parts for £10 (bank cheque) or €10 Euros (banknote). Previously listed: 2010 FAST Annual & USATF Media Guide — The 33rd edition of the FAST Annual is once again combined with the USATF Media Guide, and is now available. 776 pages of useful data including the 2010 year lists, 50 deep, for men and women, all-time lists, all-time college, junior and walk lists, 2010 walk lists, 2010 Junior lists, and index information on more than 2500 athletes, including resident foreigners competing for US colleges and universities, coupled with a large biography section, past national champions, records, and much, much more. This is the essential reference book for everyone who is interested in USA track and field. Copies can be obtained from Tom Casacky at PO Box 3122, Oak Brook, IL 60523 for $25 USD in North America and $42 USD (or €30 Euros) abroad via air post. Please note that postage from the USA adds substantially to the cost of the book. A must for all statisticians! Who’s Who in Pole Vaulting, 4th edition — This is a massive undertaking, literally and figuratively. Gérard Dumas (ATFS, CAN) has published the fourth revised edition of his magnum opus: a 1080-page, multi-kilogram book that incorporates every conceivable statistical aspect of the pole vault. Results of every major championship competition, deep year lists for the heretofore obscure 1839-1900 era, detailed career records of many prominent vaulters, record progressions of every type (even for individual nations), technical discussions, detailed biographies and annual performances of perhaps 1500 men and women, countless hundreds of photographs (many rare and historical) — these are just a few of the book’s features. No single volume available today provides a comparable authoritative, comprehensive coverage of a single athletics discipline. Gérard will donate the book to any ATFS member who sends him the mailing and shipping expenses, which will be approximately $35 USD to North America and $45 USD to Europe. The preferred payment is by International Money Order. Contact Gérard at 4124 Gordon Head Road, Victoria, British Columbia, V8N 3Y1, Canada; gddumas@shaw.ca

Combined Events Annual 2010 — ATFS member Hans van Kuijen (NED) has produced the 18th edition of the definitive combined events yearbook. This superb book contains the 2010 world rankings for men and women, the top 200 for men and women and all results down to 7500 points for men and 5500 points for women, results of major meetings in 2010, all-time men's and women's performers and performances, national and international records, indoor rankings for 2010, the 2010 and all-time rankings for junior athletes and much more. This book is a must for all fans of the multi events. The price is €30 Euros or equivalent for European orders, and $50 USD for orders outside Europe.

A few back issues are still available. The Landy Era: From Nowhere To The Top Of The World — Australian journalist and 2:19 marathoner Len Johnson has produced an exceptional work about the rise of Australia’s distance-running prowess in the 1950s. Johnson has few peers among athletics writers, and his prose transports the reader back into an era when the sport was evolving rapidly. Nowhere was this more pronounced than in rugby-obsessed Australia, where John Landy emerged from obscurity in December, 1952 with a 4:02.1 mile that ignited a running revolution. The narrative is filled with colorful characters — Cerutty, Perry, Macmillan, Lawrence, Stephens, Thomas, Clarke, Power, Clohessy, Elliott, etc. — who are bound together by the presence of Landy, a quietly dignified naturalist and consummate sportsman. The book focuses on the period between 1951 and 1958. If, like most of us, your only references to that era have come from retrospective histories, Johnson can bring the time and place to life for you. The book can be obtained from the publisher at http://melbournebooks.com.au/mbooks/index.html European Athletics Junior Championships Statistics Handbook 2009 The European Under-23 Athletics Statistical Handbook 2007 ATFS member Roberto Camano (ITA) is the guiding presence behind these two exceptional statistical volumes.

The larger volume (404 pages), prepared for the 20th anniversary Novy Sad meet in 2009, resembles the IAAF World Championships statistical handbooks. It includes results of all championship finals, a records section, a listing of best performances achieved at the championships, deep European junior all-time lists, and national junior records for all European countries. These are must-have publications for anyone interested in U-23 and junior athletics.

If you follow athletics closely, you should consider adding EME News to your mailbox. An annual subscription is $200 USD or €150 Euros. You can contact Alfons at perinvestsk@gmail.com for more information. Carles Baronet (ESP) produces Trackinsun, a weekly newsletter distributed in .doc format that contains very deep, detailed results of competitions worldwide. This publication joins — and often supplements — Athletics International and Track Newsletter as an excellent and timely archive of results; unlike its predecessors, it can be customized. Subscriptions to a version that contains results of eight Western European nations are €20 Euros per year; for all of Europe, €35 Euros per year; and for all worldwide results, €50 Euros per year. ATFS members qualify for a 25% discount for each option. For more information, contact Carles at trackinsun@telefonica.net. A.T.F.S.
