The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-25

M. I. T., second. The time was 20 As
seconds.
Alexander D. Mcdonald, the winner
of the B. A. A. Marathon race of last
year, didn't do much yesterday in his
mile run. He got third, but it was only
by the skin of his teeth, though he ran
great race up to the turn into the
home stretch. H. b. Clark of Harvard
forced things from the beginning and
after giving up first place in the third
lap to Mcdonald, he recovered it on
the fourth and came to the worsted a
winner by fully 25 yards ahead of H..
W. Foote of Harvard. The time was
fair, minutes and 80 3-5 seconds.
j. Fred Powers competed in all the
field events almost at the same time,
and that was responsible to great ex-
tent in making his two seconds, for he
would probably do better if he had had
an opportunity to compete in the events
in order, or could have had a slight
rest between. In the running broad
jump those who competed were j. w.
Horr, NJ. I. T.. F. E. Connolly, E. B.

Powers and Daily, and both were tied
at % feet inches. They jumped and
Powers made it % feet and eight and
three-quarters inches. Daily tried and
left the take-off like a bird, making
a jump that would certainly
have been about % feet II inches,
but he struck the soft loan,
or it fell away of it's own accord,
anyhow the jump did not count. Some
of his admirers did not think that DAILY
was getting square deal and said so.
They were silenced, however, when
Powers in another try cleared 20 feet
and q inches, which was too much for
the wearer of the crimson to equal.
w. ]. Lynch, c. S. A; ]. f. Powers,
ST. P, L. A, and r. ]. Mahady, c. S.
A., were entered in the pole vault All
cleared the bat at nine feet but Ma
hady failed at feet inches. Lynch
and Powers cleared at 8 feet inches,
but Lynch failed at 9 feet 9 inches,
which could not phase Powers par
ticle, he clearing the bar easily.
In the running high jump f. E. Con-
molly, E. B. A. A, and A. N. Rice, H.
@. A. A, were pitted against Powers.
The bar was placed at five feet, which
was cleared by all till it got at feet
S2 inches, when Connolly failed. Pow
ers failed twice at feet 10 inches, but
had another trial when he decided to be
satisfied with second prize. Rice then
cleared the bar at six feet.
The putting of the 16pOund shot was
contested by Powers, II. F. Blanchard,
Boston; N. j. Young, e. B. A. A; w. A.
Boal, H. A. A, and H. j. Brown, H. A.
