Athletic club crack, who has twice won
the championship of America in both the
1870 yards and 220 yards hurdles. Puffcr's
tino in the championship race of 1892 was
Is 2-5 seconds for the high hurdle, but
when the rivals met at the championships
of the Metropolitan association, A. A. u,
in Saratoga on July 81 Chase won the 1870
yards event with case in the remarkably
fast time of Is As seconds. Puffer was
four yards behind at the finish. In the
220 yards hurdles the same day, however,
Puifcr turned the tables, winning by five
yards.
Tho rivals came together again in a
match race at the recent Olympiad of tho
New Jersey Athletic club. The distance
was 1870 yards, and Chase won with ease.
Puffer fell at the fifth hurdle, but as
Chase was then leading him by yard the
Dartmouth man would doubtless have
won had P.lffer continued running. A
three corncred match race at 1870 yards be-
tween Chase, Puffer and Cady, the Yale
crack, would be Il very interesting event.

Defeated Champion Pufier.
In Stephen Chase, Dartmouth college
has produced hurdler who seems well
nigh invincible at 120 yards and who can
hold his own with the best of the timber
toppers in the 220 yards event. Chase first
attracted particular attention on May %
of this year by winning the intercollegiate
championship of New England as repre-
sentative of Dartmouth. He lowered the
association record to IS seconds and was
then regarded as the best high hurdler in
college, especially when it was remembered
that on March 10 he had won the 20 yards
hurdle race at the annual indoor cham
pionship in Boston in 9 is seconds.
Chase materially added to his reputation
by defeating w. F. Garcelon, Harvard S
fast huriler, and then turned his eyes to-
ward the laurels that chung about the
