Wilkesbarre Mans Handicap Too
Much for Champion.

Nearly 1900 people gathered in the Sec
end Regiment Armory, Philadelphia, Sat
urday night, for the indoor track meet Of
the Atlantic Association of the A. A. U.
The surprise of the evening was the defeat
of Arthur Duffy. the worlds 1O0-yard
champion, in the 4O-yard dash, open to all
amateurs.
E. Splitter a Wilkesbarre lad represent
ing the Eighth Regiment. N. G. p, was the
winner, taking the tale about six-inches in
front OF the champion. with a handicap of
7 feet. Duffy had sore foot, which ham
pered him considerably. and although he
won the first two heats handily, he could
not do himself justice in the final
The C00-yard handicap race was an ex-
citing struggle between Moore, the Penn
freshman, and Yoder of Georgetown. Irvine
Orion of Penn ran a great race from
scratch. but when turning the last corner
he fell and was deprived of a possible VIC
tory. Vernon of Penn captured the one
and-one- hal -mile race.
The wooden track did not have banked
turns and the men found trouble in TAX
ing the corners. The handicap men had
a great advantage. because of the narrow
hess of the course, and were, with the ex-
ception of Orion. shut out. .
