can get from Pennsylvania or anywhere
else. The compatibility of colds with good

Track and field athletes and foot ball
players held high carnival at Madison
Square Garden, New York. yesterday and
last evening and close contests and credit
able performances were numerous The
knickerbocker Athletic Club
In the afternoon the athletes occupied
the boards. The crowd saw A f. Duffy of
Georgetown University sprint as few run
ners ever sprinted before and ell were
ready to hail him the conqueror Of
Tewksbury or any other coIlegian that
trips the cinder path.
The World says: The seating capacity
of the garden by no means tested IN
the afternoon, but the sport was worthy of
such a crowd, and there came to the front
a sprinting wonder that promises to make
all other knights of the cinder path look
like selling platers His name Is A F.
Duffy and he halls from Georgetown Uni
versity, the alma mater of the mighty We
fers.
Mr.. Duffy has been heard from before,
and as penalty for fame he was made to
start from scratch in the sixty yards ham
dicap. This caused him to stretch himself
as it We're, and. as consequence, the
worlds record, six and two-fifths seconds,
was eaualed on track that was admitted
slow in such a distance. He ran a dead
heat in the final with w. A. Edwards, who
was allowed thirteen feet. The tie was
then run off and Edwards won by foot
in six and two-ffths seconds. 1t was re-
markable performance.
Duffy is the ideal runner in build, and
in getting over the ground seems to touch

stride, and when under full headway is
