EXCITING MILE RELAY RACE

Indictment weather and a heavy track
| marred the championship games of the
South Atlantic Association of the American
Athletic Union at Benning race course yes
terday afternoon. When the first event was
started at o'clock only a handful of spec
tators was present. and the shower which
came short time after kept those in the
city from going to the track. The track
had been put In good condition Friday, and
IL Ii were not for the rain that night there
would have been some fast time made in
the sprint events. but the contestants were
handicapped by about an inch OF heavy top
soil. Strange to say. the heavy rain ex-
perienced in the city did not touch Ben
ming.
There was one record broken, this being
the sixteen-pound hammer throw when T.

heaved the iron 1874 feet inches, breaking
the previous record held by himself. which

place. with the Columbia team second. The
last quarter mile fought out by Paul
Herring of the Columbia Athletic Club and
w. D. Randall. tr., of the Mt. Washington
team. Both runners were on about even
terms when they started. and Herring
jumped out and set the pace and held the
lead until within about ten yards of the
tape, when Randall came with a rush and
won. The Maryland team was lost in the
stretch. Another event that was hotly con-
tested was the three-mie run between w.
