Many Well Contested Events.

held in the Mechanics building, Boston,
Monday night, and We're attended by
about 5000 people. The games were the
best that have been held this year, all
the events being hotly contested, the
1000 yards invitation especially so. In
this, five men entered Bray of Williams
College, Gabe Hollander of the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club of New York, the
holder of the record, J.. ]. Moynihan Of
Holy Cross, Batchelder of Waban school,
the New England champion at the half
mile, and O'Connor of Boston College
The worlds record for the distance, in
doors. was 1:24 1-5, made last year by
Hollander, but this went by the board
after one Of the hottest kinds of races.
In fact the record was smashed by the
three place winners,
At the crack of the pistol O'Connor
jumped into the lead, with Bray second
and Hollander third. The latter pushed
his way to the front and was hotly
pushed by Bray. Moynihan was having
it out with the other two men and pull
led up with the leaders just as Bray
started a spurt and went by Hollander,
Moynihan chung to the latter, and raced
him and the leader to the tape. This was
first reached by Bray, with Hollander
scarcely @ yard away and Moynihan
less than five yards to the rear. The time
was 1928 The announcement was re-
ceived with loud applause,
Worcester was well represented at the
games by team of seven athletes from
Holy Cross and Harry l., Dadmun, but
Moynihan was the only one to get any
kind of a prize. Dadmun started in the
440 handicap from scratch. He won sec
ond place in his heat, thus qualifying
for the final Here he conceded liberal
handicaps to the other men, and but for
an unfortunate accident, would likely
nave landed one of the prizes. The
nearest man to the scratch besides
Dadmun was on the 20-yard line; yet on
the first LAP he was close on the field
and bid fair to get away from them.
On one of the corners the man directly
ahead of him stepped on the small
wooden curb, loosening it so that the
end swung around and threw Dadmun
off his feet Charlie O'ConnoP of Holy
Cross also started in this event but in
the first heat was thrown and was out
| Jere Moynihan, besides competing in
the 1000 invitation, ran in the $50, but
| the pace in the first event told on him
| and he was not able to do himself JUS
| tice. He stayed with the bunch until
| the spurt came and then fell back, fin
| ishing in fifth place. Durkin and Kane
of the Holy Cross also competed in this
event and ran well, but not well enough
to get any of the places.

peted in the 40-yard dashes, but all
failed to get a prize.
! Aside from the great 1000 yard race,
the event of the evening was the team
race between Harvard and U. of P,
mile relays. The men from Philadelphia
went to the game in prime conditions
and, after a hard fought race, succeed
ed in winning from the Harvard men
lby narrow margin, Harvard fresh
Imen and Yale freshmen ran their first
relay race, the victory going to Yale
Williams defeated her old rival. Am
