DONALDSON V. WALKEE. - Jack Donaldson, of Australia, accomplished a fine performance before a largo crowd at Taft Vale Park, Pontypridd,, on October 1,0 (reports the "Sporting Life";, .when he and Eeggie Walker, of South ! Africa,; met to decide the 130 yards World's championship. Both men had undergone a thorough preparation, the-Australian doing his work from Cardiff/and Walker at Brighton. Donaldson was established a firm favourite at 4to 1 on. The weather was ideal, but the track was somewhat on tho soft side. The men wero got away by Mr. Sonny Morten, of, Manchester, and whereas Donaldson at once got into his stride, Walkor appeared to hang. However, he soon made up leeway, but ait 70yds. the Australian came through with a fine, raking stride, and although Walker made a .-filial .challenge, Donaldson won by quite-fdiir yards in the exceptionally fast time of 12 3-16 sec. It was a really great pcrfpniiT ance, considering.that the track was not in its best condition. ; The referee was Mr. 8.. Heading,-of Manchester, and the timekeeper Mr, Joe Chadwick, of Manchester.
