MacCombs Dam Park athletic field. situated
at ioist street and jerome avenue. was ON
cially opened yesterday with a clatter Of
bands. a flourish Of flags and bunting and
the usual glitter and glare attendant upon
| such occasions. At a signal from Henry T.
Schrader. Commissioner Of Parks. the ball
was set rolling about 2:3O o'clock
The track is quarter mile oval shaped
circuit and constructed with a mixture OF
clay and cnders. which even in its initial
use proved to be very fast. A varied program
Of track and field events brought the best
local athletes together. as well as attracting
a crowd OF several thousand spectators TO
the neighborhood. During the sports the
Central Bridge viaduct was turned into an
lmpromptu grand stand and big crowd
patronized 1t all the afternoon.
A new American record resulted In the
lOo-yard three-legged event. and the crowd
was treated to a fine burst Of speed after the
Siamese style. Harry l.. Hillman and Law
son Robertson. wearing the colors of the Thir-
teenth Regiment. for the race was confined
to militiamen. romped home winners by
two yards in 1925 seconds supplanting
the old record Of ~ seconds made by W. S.
Edwards and p A. Sayles in 1908 Half
an hour or so later Hllman turned out for
the quarter mile handicap, in which
he had the post of honor. Getting around
his field on the backstretch he led when
they turned the bend for home, and won
with something to spare In the splendid time
Of 40 As seconds. The two mile was an in
teresting race and for some reason the crowd
expected a new record would be the result.
For about mile, Sullivan and Cohen of the
Irish A. A. c.. ran level and then Sullivan died
away and Cohen went ahead and won by
about 100 yards.
John Flanagan OF the Irish A. A. c. had
matters his own way in the So pound weight,
which he won from scratch with the. ane
