NEW YORK. Sept. O. Fine weather
favored the New Jersey Athletic Clubs
carnival of athletic sports on the clubs
grounds at Bayonne, N. j., to-
day. The final Of the one hundred
yard dash was somewhat OF
surprise to the Western men, as they
looked upon Marbury OF Chicago as sure
winner. Sulzer. the local sprinter, won
from the 4%-yard mark-with Donohue,
| 10-yard man, second and May bury third
| in ten seconds fat.
Wefers had saved himself for the 800
yard scratch race. Maybury and Rush Of
| the Chicago team and Jerome Buck of the
Knicker booker Athletic Club were Wefers'
opponents IN this special race. May
bury jumped out in the lead at the
crack of the pistol and Wefers tackled
him on the far turn. Coming along the
| stretch opposite the stand Wefers and
Maybury ran close together. but as they
! turned the curve for the home run Wefers
gained by two y ards, although running on
the outside.
At this point it was very evident that
Maybury was beaten, and Rush came up
and tried to tackle the George
| town flyer. The latter sprinted
wonderfully, while Rush worked
manfully to reach him. but the big East
ern sprinter won Dy ten feet, Rush fms b.
ing ahead of Maybury for third honors.
| Wefers' time, 81 seconds, is just 2-5 of
second behind the worlds record for tn at
distance.

| letic Club made new worlds record at
