II CONFESS took the pole and led the
quartet of starters round into the
stretch, where Kiley took it, closely
followed by the Worcester school boy.
Kiley drew away as he passed the end
of the first quarter, and opened up a
gap Of at least 20 yards between him
self and Moran, and it looked as
though the distance was growing every
minute.
1t looked to be all up with Moran's
chances then, but he was on to his
job, and he did not take that squirt of
, his till Kiley had begun to round the
third turn and was ready to take the
last and enter the stretch. With chest
well out and head thrown back, the
| Worcester boy let out a kink, then an
other and then he let out several, and
after he had got them all out, Kiley
was not quite so far ahead, and one
. could almost see the Boston man go
ing backward, so fast was Moran run
ming. ~
Kiley with his big lead, had not got
; halfway down the stretch when Moran
/ had overhaulede him and had passed
him, and the race was over so far as
the contest for first place was con-
cerned. The Worcester boy, with a
| lead of 10 yards, slowed down and
loafed to the tape, when, if he had
kept the pace he set, and which he
could have carried, he would have
: made a new New England record.
Kiley finished second and Walsh third,
: far to the rear.
After an absence of two years from
t the track, C. C. Crowley of the East
Boston Athletic Association came back
into business yesterday and broke his
own record for. the potato race and
| established brand new worlds record
doing the trick in 80 is seconds. He
was severely pushed by C. ]. p. Lucas
), of the Cambridgeport Gymnasium, who
got second, while C. j. Sweeney of the
same association was third.
3 piper" Donovans prototype, little
: Arthur F. Duffey of the Worcester
Academy, was in the best of shape
l and covered himself with honors and
all kind of glory, as every one expected
? he would. He was entered in the cen
fury dash. and did things to those
who contested with him. He won the
> race and set new mark at the 100
! yard dash for all other New England
championship aspirants.
He was pitted against Harvard
} fastest selection at the 100, Frank j
: Quinlan, and also against Amherst's
: flyer A. Z. L. Curtenius. But the lit
, tie fellow who was developed and
brought out by Donovan sets a killing
pace every time, and yesterday was nc
f exception, and he proved too fast a
man for the others. He got regula-
ton Piper" start and kept the lead
n which he took all the way down the
! 100 PAGES, breasting the worsted win
ner by over a yard. The time was an
: even 10 seconds. Curtenius was second
man in, and close behind him came
! Quinlan, who did not show his usual
6 good form.
: The little fellow was applauded to
g the echo and bowed acknowledgment to
4 the compliment,
n Tom McQueeney, recently star per-
n former at the hurdles. and one time
:, New England champion, and lately a
,, Worcester boy, was entered in yes
terdayTs hurdles, high and low, but
: the best he could do in them was to
: get third in the low ones. He is not in
! anything like his old shape, and ii
= did not take a great deal to whip him.
: He did not get a place in the high
:. hurdles, which were won by F. B. Fox
/ of Harvard, in 16 1-5 seconds.

{ William NJ Moran, with the Worcester
d high school colors, was again to the
. fore in the S80-yard run and amply
made up for the loss the heart of the
l commonwealth sustained in one-time
good man. McQueeney
1t looked at one time as though
Moran was to finish only good second,
i but he did better.
Jere ]. Moynihan, Holy Cross Col
. lege's fast man, was away out OF form
. Yesterday, and though entered for two
events he ran in only one, the quarter
in which he finished fourth. He was
booked for a winner and things did
look a great deal like bookings at the
beginning. but his usual tenacity was
not with him and he failed and backed
up in the stretch loser
There were only four entries in the
, race and the fight was on between
Moynihan and Holland of Boston col
j, lege. Jere, by excellent judgment
came from the outside to the pore on
the stare after getting away and set
terrific pace round he first turn and
= down the stretch on the farther side
p of the field leading the bunch by at
least three yards. Holland was push
> ING hard for the front and it looked as
though he never would overtake his
man. Just before the Acond turn was
reached Jere was breasted by Hollanu

place. allowing S. H. Bush Of Harvard
t TO get into second place and Blakemore
, of the same institution into thlrd
place. The time was 81 3-5 seconds.
