He won the form CT at Travis Island on September D. and the latter early in the year. He is credited with having run q hun dred yards in less than 10 seconds
 At tho A. 4. T.. indoor champion ship meet on November .. at Madison Square Garden he won both the tD and s5-yard events from the fastest sprinters in the metropolitan district. Such fast men as Lawson Roberts, !. !. Archer. ]. F. O'Connell and Smye Northbridge competed in these events.
 In the heats and the finals he won through sheer persistence. Tn all his races he is usually tho last man to get away from his mark. For about 25 yards he seems beaten. but after that distance is covered he gradually overhauls the "quick-brcakcrs.- and usually wins by a margin of inches only.
