Hi guys. B. Dalton Davis once again with an offering not to be dismissed lightly. What follows is a listing of the old Spalding AAU Guides from these three collections, with a smattering of a few others, along with condition and prices asked. These prices are really cheap based on the quality and rarity of the items. These guides first appeared in 1894 and the run ended in 1941. From 1942 on, the book was just known as the AAU Handbook. You will probably not see an accumulation like this ever again. After this, what will follow will be the old ATFS Annuals, other old Spalding material from the turn of the Century, old Track and Field News magazines and much, much more. TO ORDER ANY OF THESE, PLEASE WRITE AT THIS ADDRESS AND AT [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please add 5.00 shipping for 1-3 books, 10.00 for 4-6 books. More than this number of books, contact me directly. Books will be shipped by Priority Mail. 1904 (d) - Hardbound, ex, from A.A.

t-and-f: Gallagher / Merode
Somebody yesterday asked (tongue in cheek I think) 'So who knocked off Gallagher', implying that she knew stuff somebody else might not want to get out. "Prince Merode's minnions" crossed my mind, but I didn't bother to reply since it is pointless. Then this morning I get up and look at the paper, and there in the sports section is the announcement that Prince de Merode died yesterday of cancer (which it looks like nobody else has commented on this list this morning). I guess that probably rules out the minnions theory, not that it was really a theory anyway. I suspect that Merode's impact or "hidden legacy" (positive or negative, depending on your viewpoint) on the sport of Athletics was a lot greater than Gallagher, though much of the story may never come to light.

t-and-f: Perez is back at the top of the world
http://www.iaaf.org/news/Kind=2/newsId=20033.html Wednesday 20 November 2002 2002 was a crucial year for Jefferson Pérez, the 1996 Olympic 20km Race walking champion. The Ecuadorian's victory over that distance on the streets of Turin at the 20th IAAF World Race Walking Cup in October, capped his first full year of competition since returning from nine months of premature retirement - between the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton - and re-established Perez on top of the world of Race Walking. Perez, who had been a World Junior champion for the 10,000m walk in 1992, won the 1996 Olympic 20km gold medal to become the youngest ever Olympic Race Walking champion and Ecuadors first Olympic medallist at any sport. The following year he took the IAAF World Race Walking Cup title and in 1999 a silver medal at the World Championships. However, after a brave attempt to defend his Olympic title in Sydney, where he finished fourth, he retired from the sport, going home to Cuenca with the goal of finishing his university studies in Business Administration. This he duly did, completing his degree in June 2001 but then immediately began to reflect on his retirement from Race Walking, and decided to reverse his decision shortly afterwards. A semi race fit Perez quickly returned to take eighth place at the 2001 World Championships. In 2000 I had decided to finish my career, but by June of the next year, I saw that Ecuador was still lacking a good representative in the walks. Thats what motivated me to return. It has taken me a full year to get back to the level where I want to be at. At the beginning of this season, the idea was to compete in a limited number of events, basically to avoid saturation, both physically and mentally. The main goal of 2002 was the World Race Walking Cup, and that triumph was something very special for me. This year I started without a coach. I basically trained by myself, even though Im not a coach or a person with a degree in physical education. Thats a very odd situation for someone who wants to be a top athlete, but I wanted to try it anyway. I wanted to be at a top level, and with the assistance of Enrique Peña, my former coach, and a great friend, took up that challenge. After all the titles and medals I have won, I still have goals to reach and to find excellence. Thats what Im working for. Im just focusing on training well and not specifically trying to win a title or to improve a record. Now my next 2 goals are the 2003 World Championships and the 2004 Olympic Games, and I intend to get there at the top of my form." Many people ask me where I find my inspiration, who has been my role model. That person is and has been my mother. She is totally blind, but in spite of that, she has been able to raise 5 children, and Im very proud to be her son. I havent had all resources to be at the top, but I have never quit dreaming. It doesnt matter if you come from a poor country. Sometimes people in general have to stop complaining, and give their best effort to get to the places where each one wants to be. Thats my advice. My competitive 2002 season started in Mexico, at the International Race Walk Week. Mexico has always been a very special place for me, ever since 1996. Every time I compete there I feel at home, and I have lots of supporters. With the Mexican walkers I also have a great rivalry. That event in Zapopan was basically a test for me, and went well, so it gave me a whole lot of confidence for the rest of the season. Then I competed in Guatemala in May, and won the Ibero-American title, and after that, I went to Europe. At the 20k in Eisenhüttenstadt (Germany), I was ready for a better time, but the weather wasnt perfect for that. My time was 1:19:08, which is a good time, but honestly, I was expecting something faster, even though it was only the fourth time I have been able to go below the 1:20 barrier. At the World Cup, some people said that some of the best walkers were not present. Among them was Paquillo (Francisco Javier) Fernández, who in April set the World Best at 20K, with 1:17:22, and then won the European title in Munich. I respect him very much. He is a good friend and a great athlete, but to me, the World Cup was the most important event of the year, and I was set to perform there. At this point (in my career), I share Korzeniowskis thought, who just said that he only has 100K of competition left in his career at 50km walking. In terms of (20km walk) at the Paris World Championships, and the Athens Olympics, I approach these competitions in a similar manner. I want to concentrate on these main events, and thats what I also did in 2002. For 2003 my priorities are very specific. Its going to be a very tough year, but I dont want to take any chances. Unfortunately, we have the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, only 13 days before the World Championships, and my priority for 2003

As has been reported previously to this list, he recorded a mark of 72.34, better than the existing WR, at the DN Galan Meet on 7/7/81 but since he was suspended by the IAAF on 7/13/81 for using the steroid nortestosterone the mark was not accepted. To its everlasting shame, however, USATF (then TAC) accepted the mark as an American Record. "B.

t-and-f: Quirot targets masters records
Y ask: Another sign that former elites are taking masters competition seriously comes in this news note on the IAAF Web site: Quirot steps up to Half Marathon in retirement Wednesday 20 November 2002 HAVANA -- Cuba's former double World 800m champion Ana Fidelia Quirot, ran the Havana International Half Marathon (Marabana) for the first time, on Sunday 17 November 2002, a day which was characterised by very bad weather conditions. The 39-year-old from Santiago de Cuba needed little over 1:42 hours to complete the course, in her second attempt at the distance, seven years after running 1:33. "I am very happy with my time, considering I did not train for the distance. I enjoyed the race, but the head winds and the constant rain made very difficult", said Quirot, who spent more than three hours signing autographs and taking photographs with fans and runners from several countries. The two time Olympic medallist -- bronze in Barcelona ‘92 and silver in Atlanta'96 -- who quit world class athletics after the 1998 Central American and Caaribbean Games in Maracaibo, aims to compete at the World Masters Championships, next July in Carolina, Puerto Rico. "I noticed a great atmosphere during the course and many athletes and people from the crowd supported me all the way,” added the best Cuban female athlete of all time. Asked about her plans in Puerto Rico, the Cuban star stated that, "I would like to run from 400 to 1500 metres, and take a look at the masters records and see whether they can be broken.” Quirot, IAF Athlete of the Year in 1989, is used to coping with challenges. She started training only 38 days after giving birth to her first child. Today, she runs up to 8km on Havana's Quinta Avenida from Monday to Saturday and also does one hour of aerobics and one more of weightlifting. The Gothenburg ‘95 and Athens '97 World champion finds free time every day to exercise, combining her domestic work and the raising of her two children: Alberto Alejandro, one year and 10 months old, and 3 year-old Carla Fidelia. Quirot’s participation was the highlight of Marabana, whose times were the slowest in the 16 editions of the race, due to the adverse weather conditions. In the Half Marathon, Aguelmis Rojas, 24, won for the third consecutive time (1:07:22), while in the women’s section 2001 Central American and Caribbean gold medallist Mariela Gonzalez (1:20:26) claimed her seventh title and sixth consecutive victory since 1997. The men’s and women’s Marathons were won by the Cubans Angel Ferreiro (2:36:26) and Zenaida Alonso (3:12:19), respectively. Me again: Quirot turns 40 on March 23, 2003. Her all-time PRs are 49.61 in 1991 and 1:54.44 in 1989. See profiles of her at: http://www.sporting-heroes.net/athletics-heroes/displayhero.asp?HeroID=503 http://www.africanpubs.com/Apps/bios/0033QuirotAna.asp?pic=none The W40 records are: 400m 53.68A Sara Montecinos (born 1954) CHILE Cali 3/19/94 800m 1:59.25 Yekaterina Podkopayeva (6/11/52) RUS Luxembourg 6/30/94 Those aren't soft records, Ana.
