Eddie Dickson p, 8. T.. again demon
strated his ability TO hold the title OF
premier amateur sprinter of the Pacinc
Northwest. and Ia pretty near q world
champion at nifty yards. He won the 1oo-
yard dash so easily after he got those
muscular legs of his to pushing the Gin
ders that IL is not worth extended notice
I'm comparison with the fifty-yard dash.
The first heat was won by McMaBus. u

HILL W. c.. had a hot race. and the cham
pion was only three feet in the lead at the

Then the winners of first and second In
the trial heats came up TO the scratch for
the final. They were of in line Me-
MINUS was a trifie ahead of Dickson and

was running like a race horse. He looked
like winner He approached the finish
and was stiIl leading The u. of w. boys
were In giee. Then Dickson and his little
red cap came into evidence.
1t was a sight worth going miles to wit
ness. You could see the determination In
Dickson's face and witness IL In the way
his legs moved. He was just like some
race horses that are perfect demons when
they come into the homestretch. He
closed the gap with rush. and at the A.
yard mark was on even terms with Nc
Manus who spurted desperately. 1t was
no use. the little red demon was flying, and
he won the race by narrow margin
McManns was great but he met his mas
ter. The time was 3 2-5 seconds. which.
