favored the New Jersey Athletlc clUD'S
carnival of sports on the clubs grounds
at Bayonne, N. j., today. The attend
ance was good. A good deal Of inter-
est was taken in the second meeting
this year between Wefers, the Eastern
sprinter and Maybury and Rush, the
fast runners from Chicago and Wis
consin. A week ago last Saturday Wef-
erS, on Manhattan field, proved his su-
periOrity over the Western men, and
today he was asked to give half q yard
to each of them in a 100-yard handicap.
Wefers won his heat very cleveriy from
Cregan in 10 1-5 seconds, and Maypury
with an eighteen-inch allowance from
scratch, also won his heat in the same
time. Rush was not so fortunate, now
ever, as starting from the same mark
as his club mate, Maybury, he failed
to qualify in his trial, finishing third
to Sulzer nd Karns, who qualified. IN
the final Wefers did not start, as he
said he preferred to reserve all his
speed for the 300yard race, which was
to take place later on. The result of
the final of the 100 yards was some
what a surprise to the Western men,
as they looked upon Maybury as a
sure winner. Their fondest hopes were
not realized, as Sulzer, the local sprint
er, won from the AZ yard mark, with
Donohue, a ten-yard man, second, aid
Maybury third in 10 seconds.
Rush was very sick after running in
the 10O-yard race and was attended by
DR.. Neumann, of Chicago, the SWIM
ming expert. Under the doctors treat
ment he was enabled to take part in
the 300-yard scratch race, for which
Wefers had saved himself. Maybury
and Rush, of the Chicago team, and
Jerome Buck, of the Knickerbocker
Athletic club, were Wefers opponents
In the special race. Maybury Jumped
out in the lead at the crack of the pis-
tol, and Wefers tackled him on the far
turn. Coming along the stretch oppo-
site the stand, Wefers and Maybury
ran close together, but as they turned
the curve for the run home, Wefers
gained two yards, although running on
the outside
MAYBURY BEATEN.
At this point it was very evident that May

tried to tackle the Georgetown flyer. The
latter sprintsd wonderfully, while Rush worked

ahead of Maybury for third honors. Wefers
time, 81 seconds, is just 2-5 of second be-
hind the worlds record for that distance.
Marvel, of the Home club, won the half
mile scratch from Lyon, of the Knckerbocker,
after his clubmate, Prendergast, had set the
pace for a quarter of a mile. In the 200 yard
hurdle handicap, Buck, who was on the
scratch, won by three yards from Roe, of the
Pastines, to whom he was conceding fifteen
