FANTASTIC ! echoed Britain's Daily Herald, when Beatty ran the mile in 3 min. 56.5 sec. over a notoriously slow track at White City stadium-pulling four other competitors over the finish in less than four minutes. Moving up to a longer distance at Turku, Finland, Beatty then ran the 5,000 meters in 13 min. 45 sec., beating...
