milo had been done the quartette were
punched, Talley doing the pacing with
EDDY close no. On the second lap tho
men we're loading At tho back stretch,
bat at the turn they got down 70 work
IN earnest and . very pretty finish was
the result, the two Triangle mon COM
ing over tho tape ahead 40 usual, John
son beating out his team-mAto, Goesz,
by hall q wheels length. The time
made, 2:l7 3.5, was very good for COM
petition.
The fifth taco on the programme was
q one.hali mile open for simon.pure
amateurs, and resulted 10 victory for
Arthur Banker, who, like Brother
George," has speedy qualities. There
were 80 many starters, sixteen, that 1t
was decided 10 run Il in heats. In the
frat heat eight men started, and those
who qualified for the final finished a.
follows: Patterson, Angenbaugh, Baker,
and st. John. In this heat the time
was 1913, and 1t was thought the second
heat would mot be made under this
mark, This was a mistaken idea, as II
was done In l:Il. tho four who qualified
being UpdegraH, Banker, Quimby and
Lang. These eight men started in tho
final, and there was much speculation
as 10 the relative speed qualities Of
Banker, OF Pittsburgh, aud UpdeRraH,
Of Cleveland. The pace at tho start was
slow, though Referee McGowin had
placed titno limit of1:20 on the race.
IA tho men reached the turn into the
home stretch they let out, and Banker
and Updegrar had II hammer md tongs
10 tho finish, tho Pittsburgher winning
BIZ a short length.
The half mile open handicap. class b,
was q very pretty contest and was an
other victory for E. G johnson, oil tho
Triangle team, Goetz getting second
place again. Tho finish was the best Of
the day and many spectators thought
Goetz got over the tapo ahead Of his
clubmate, but the judges were unani'
mouH that Johnson had tho better OF 1t
by an inch or two. The spectators ap'
plauded tho men as they came over the
finish line.
The seventh race was one.halt milo
event for boys under sixteen years OF
ago and it was remarkable as being tho
occasion OF the breaking Of tho Ohio
state record for that class. Redeem, Of
Wilmerding, Pa., rodo under protest, 1t
being thought he was over sixteen, but
he did not win, being unable to beat out
TAR, OF Cleveland, in tho fnal squirt
Tho timo was 1:13 rs, the previous best
time being 1:l5. This Is worlds record.
The one mile open for class A was
the next event, and again Banker
showed he was tho king-pin OF the anna
tours OF his class, There were fourteen
starters. Quimby, OF steubenville, took
the pole at tho start and did most OF tho
pacing. On the back stretch Bert
Irons, OF Monico, Pa, shot out from tho
bunch, but the others we're Watching,
and were after him quick, and he soon
went back, Banker first aud Qutmby
second.
The last event was a two.mile handi.
cap for class B, and the handicapping
was very poorly done. johnson and
Gootz being got back entirely too far.
Tho race was between Eddy and Talley,
and the former won out, Talley second.
In this race the prizes were very valu.
able, It being thought nearly all the big
class B guns would 60 in for them.
After the regular events r. E. Goetz,
Of the Triangle team, went In for tho
Ohio state record at one.halt mile and
came within a minute OF cracking
Tyler's recent Cincinnati performance.
Tho time was 100 4.5, Tyler's being loo
fiat. Goetz was paced by Eddy, Talley
and johnson. Talley caught Goetz
poorly at tho start or the record would
have been splintered.
