When the word was given the Bradfords were

went oil with 50 to the minute. pulling a clean
stroke, and soon the positions were Atalantas,
Bradfords, Columbus Wachusetts The differ
ence between the first three was very slight.
At the end of the mile the swing Of the Alta

'front.' while the Bradfords were doing some
ragged work. The Atalantas finished easy win
