One new record was made and another
eoualIed the annual indoor games of the
Pastime Athletic Club. in Madison Square Car
den last night The mark was made in
the high hurdle race at sixty yards. by S. c.
Northridge while J. b. Taylor equalled the
record for six hundred yards. A big crowd was
IN attendance. and the games were interesting
and exciting.
]. 3. Taylor. the Negro runner OF the Cniver-
sity OF Pennsylvania, the 6OO-yard special
race by the scant margin Of four inches from
Harry l. Hnlman, of the New York Athletic
Club. It was one OF the most sensational finishes
ever seen in this city. The time-1 minute IA
seconds-equalled the indoor record. held by
Parsons of Yale.
At the start Taylor had the pole, but Hillman
jumped away and forced the pace. with Parsons
at his heels At the end Of two laps Parsons
forged TO the front Taylor being content TO tran
in third place. In a terrific squirt throughout
the last lap Taylor just managed TO catch Hill
man on the tape. while Parsons finished several
feet back
Taylor was regarded as more or less OF an un-
known quantity before the race. He is the in-
tercollegiate champion quarter-miler. but dem-
onstrated his ability to break into the middle
distance game a week ago when he ran fast
mile in the college relay race.
Il leaked out after the special that Taylor
and Parsons had agreed 10 give Hillman re-
turn race at the 18th Regiment games. 10 be
held on March y. The track at the 18th Regt-
rnent Armory is six laps to the mile.
s. c. Northridge of the Irish-American Ath-
letic Club, who got secoad place in the final
heat OF the 6O-yard high hurdle race made
new American record IN his trial heat when he
covered the distance in s Is seconds. This was
also the time in the final. but as the winner c.
B. Tooley knocked down hurdle the record
could not be allowed.
Ellery H Clark, Of the Boston Athletic Asso-
citation the millionaire athlete and former all
round champion, did well. He got third place
in three events. putting the 16-pound shot high
hurdle race and potato race.
A large field started in the three-mie open
handicap run. the limit men receiving 300 yards.
William Nelson Of the 22d Regiment. starting
on the 50-yard mark, was virtually the scratch
man. After running well rated race he stopped
a lap toe soon. This enabled Thomas Collins
of the Xavier Athletic Association, with a go
yard handicap 70 win.
The one-mile handicap developed into a good
race Harvey Cohn, of the Irish-American Ath-
letic Club was the only scratch man, while +. p
Carr. the old Xavier runner, received an allow
ance OF forty-fve yards. A large field started.
the limit man receiving 100 yards.
At the crack OF the pistol the long markers
at once hit up fast pace. and Cohn had TO run
half a mile before he picked UP single man.
The field then began to come back clowly, but
rot sufficiently to enable the scratch man to
get up. Carr sprinted the last lap, but could
not do better than third H. P. Odel 'of the
Irish American Athletic Club, with a hfty-hve
yard handicap. won handiy. Cohn finished
sixth The time was minutes 24 40 seconds.
Cohn, who was timed separately, ran the dis

In the 220-yard handicap L. Robertson, the
scratch man. was disqualified, after winning his
heat II was claimed that he cut the corners
F,Ilery H Clark Of Boston, the millionaire
athlete and former all-around champion, COM
peted in several events. Although unplaced in
the standing high jump he cleared the bar at
feet inches
