FOOT RACING.

The foot race at the stock yards yester-
day Afternoon created considerable excite
meut and succeeded in attracting a good
sized crowd from town. The weather was
pretty warm, warmer than is comfortable
for any gait faster than walk, especially
for heavy weights, but notwithstanding
this, the two splnterS were promptly on
hand At O'Clock, and were evidently in
good condition TO give their assembled
auditors a good race. Considerable money
had changed hands, some wagers being as
high as fifteen and twenty dollars All
was excitement and the crowd could hardly
wait until Starter Ace Runyon gave the
word. The contestants for honors were
Amos Williams and Lew Polsto on, who
stepped out into the forum clad in suit
able and appropriate attire, shortly before
o'clock. The distance was 100 yards and
both men made good record, but Polston
was tue better mau. coming out ahead by
about six yards. The time made was 1924.
The hackers of Polston and Williams re-
spectively were Joe Ransome and L. c.
Sharp. The sports at the stock yards say
they have a man whom they will pit
against any man in the city for from $50 to
800, the distance to be seventy five yards.
The boys are anxious for more fun.
