Chataway Races Opponents
Instead of Stop Watches
By MILTON MARMOR
London (AP) ? Christopher
John Chataway races opponents in
stead of a stop watch.
Yet, ironically, at 23, he holds
a strange sort of athletics tame.
Chataway ran second in both four
minute miles ? and he's not a mil
er at all.
The red-haired former Oxford
distance runner paced Roger Ban
nister to his epic 3.59.4 mile on May
6 in the blustery Oxford race that
ended the myth of the four minute
mile barrier. Then, one June 21,
Chataway went up to Turku in Fin
land and chased Australia's John
Landy to his 3:58 mile.
Bannister and Landy went after
that four-ininute mile with dogged
determination. Chataway is some
thing else again, lie's 5-feet-9,
weighs 149, doesn't know the
length of his stride and lacks inter
est in pulse rates. He never wor
ries about oxygen intake. He trains
when the weather is agreeable.
Chris smokes half a pack of cig
arettes a day, more in winter when
not training. He takes a di ink now
and then, especially stout ale now
that he works for a brewer.
?
Runs Like Blazes
He also can run like blazes and
he runs to win. If a record falls,
so much the better, but to Chata
way the race is the thing.
He didn't expect to finish close
to Roger at Oxford and he didn't.
Yet his time was hit then best ever.
4:07.2, not bad when you consider
he is a three-miler.
Chris makes it clear he did not
pace Landy. He raced him. He was
with him until the last lap and fin
ished the mile in 4:04.4, which puts
him far up in the list of all-time
mile clockings.
"If it hadn't been for Chris Chat
away's chasing me around the track
I would never have made it," Lan
dy said after his great mile. "I
knew he was immediately behind
me and that he would not hesitate
to pass me if I slowed up the very
least."
Helps Set Kcecrd
Chataway also helped Freddie
Green, 28, act a new 3 mile record
of 13:32.2. Chataway held a 15-yard e
lead near the end but Green came
on in a neck-and-neck finish.
In Britain people speak of their
favorite athletes as they do of
members of the family. Bannister
is an aloof sort but Britons are
proud of him. They spepk of such
plodding distance aces as mara
thoner^ Jim Peters and six-miler
Gordon Pirie with just a bit of
amazement and respect.
But for Chataway they have a
deep affection. He epitomizes ev
erything fine in British sports.
Those who saw Chataway at Hel
sinki in the 1952 Olympics 5,000
meter final will never forget him.
To Britons he was something, even
though the incredible Emil Zato
pek of Czechoslovakia won and
Chris came home fifth.
Chataway was only 21 then. He
came pounding around the last
turn with the world's best. He
stumbled on the inside rail. There's
a famous sports photograph of Za
topek storming into the lead and
Chataway sprawled on the track.
Runs Self Out
Chris picked himself up and fin
ished in 14:18, almost 10 seconds
faster than anything he had done
before. And he had no alibi; he
just ran himself out.
Chataway has made only one cal
culated effort to break a world
record. Bannister helped him go
after the two-mile mark of 8:40.4
established by Belgian Gaston
Reiff. It's one of the better ones
on the books. Chris miscalculated
his pace during the inside laps and
missed out -by a mere six-tenths of
a second.

Anglers Predict
Good Prospects
For Weekend
Partyboat captains and fishing
I pier owners are predicting good
fishing prospects for the weekend.
With the passing of the hurri
cane and thunder squalls of Mon
day and Tuesday, seas and sounds
have become calm and ideal for
fishing.
| Not much fishing has been done
this week. Piers report a few
catches during the middle of the
I week, but partyboat s have not ven
tured out since last weekend.
Nelson's fishing pier reports
good catches of hogfish and trout
during the night. Daytime fishing
has been poor.
The Triple ?ss pier rej&rts good
catches of drums, croakers, and
spots. Fleming's pier also reports
good catches of drum, trout, and
sheepshead.
Kainbow Inn reports fair catches
of bottom fish, and Mom and Pop's
pier says trout are biting well.
Last weekend partyboat captains
caught amberjacks, dolphins, king
mackerels, snappers and sea bass.
