Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-02-06

( tIlllSy INduld team. ana soon the WOf-
cester runner was sailing on ahead, and
at the end of the three laps had handed
over lead Of about 15 yards TO Con-
way. As soon as Lane had touched
TeWkSbury'S hands, however, the latter
began getting after Conway in a man
ner that was anything but encouraging
to the little body of Holy Cross stu
dents. One lap and Tewksbury had the
distance made up. Another lap saw
him in the lead and then Conway died
rapidly, while TewksbH-y continued his
terrific burst of speed to the finish of
his relay. That ended the race to all
lntents and purposes, although Moyni-
han tried to catch his man Hoffman,
put II was q futile task, and everybody
knew it. The time Of the race. 2:13 was
beaten only in the Harvard and Yale
race.
The B. A. A. men were out to square
themselves for their defeat at the hands
OF the knickerbockers, one year ago,
and when the two relay teams were
called out for the race everybody was on
tip-toe and cheered for the B. A. A. and
its quartet of fast, experienced runners.
Ihe New Workers were never in the
lead, and only during the second relay
We're they really dangerous Tommy
Curtis, the Athenian champion, ran first
for the unicorn with NJ j. Waters. Jr
good 10 yards lead to Freddie Lord.
Hollander, that great indoor runner,
was against Lord, and the New York
man made up the distance but did not
pass him. Bremen again opened up a
lead for the Boston Athletic Association
while running against S. K Thomas,
and all Harry Dadmun had to do was
to keep the lead to the finish. Harry ran
just about half a lap up to his, speed
around the rest of the way just as he
! always doesf
One of the greatest races of the even
ing was the one mile invitation race, in
| which Bray of Williams surprised
| everybody by defeating Arthur Grant,
| the crack Pennsylvania man. These two,
with A. J. Walsh of New York, consti-
tuted the field, and for ten laps Walsh
| set the pace Then Bray moved into the
lead, followed by Grant. 1t was easy to
see that Bray had whole lot Of speed
| up his sleeve, but in the very next lap,
| Grant caught him mapping and had
| taken the lead and the pole away from
the Williams man. But Grants lead was
of only short duration. Bray moved past
| him on the 18th lap with comparative
ease and ran in great form to the tape
in the remarkably last indoor time of
! 440 Grant put up a great race in the
last 100 yards, but he did not have the
strength nor the speed to catch his less
famous opponent
Greene Of the Worcester high school
deserves a great deal of credit for the
way in which he ran the 1000-yard run.
| He showed that with more training and
| experience he will be a remarkably fast
man. and should just about win the
event for the high school in the inter-
scholastic sports three weeks from to-
day. Greene started in the front rank
with the 50-yard men, and was hustled
about the track in fifth or sixth position
for four or five laps before he found a
hole to get through. Then he came up
slowly but surely, passed the men ahead
Of him in turn, and caught Clark just
before the tape was breasted.
Little Duffy, who won third for Wor-
cester Academy in the 40 yards scratch
race, was running under pretty stiff
handicap. He participated in both the
handicap and scratch events. and the
trial heats of the invitation followed i'm
mediately after those of the handicap
event Duffy stayed in both to the final
heat So much running, Of course,
winded him, and when he started in the
two finals, he was pretty thoroughly
tuckered. 1t is surprising that under the
circumstances, he should have been
able to have won place in either event.
There was a big delegation Of Har-
ward men at the games and they made
their presence felt all through the eve
ming, but more especially during the
Harvard Yale race, when they saw
their favorItes not only winning great
race, but reducing a record as well.
Gov. Wolcott also graced the occasion
by his presence, sitting upon the plat
form with his son.
The sport was admirably conducted
The program had been shortened some
what over those of former years, and
by getting the events off in rapid sue
cession, the last race was over before
10. 80 o'clock, giving Worcester people an
opportunity to sit the games through
and still catch the last train for home
"a thing they have not been able to do
in former years.
