NEW YORK. Jan. 2s.-Harry Hillman.
champion hurdler, of the New York Ath-
letic Club, conquered II. p. Ramey, the
western half-mile champion and member of
the Chicago Athletic Club, last night. in the
6OO-yard special race. at the Pastime Ath-
letic Club games at Madison Square Gar
den. Although Hillman won by a scant
yard, he accomplished his task in easy
fashion.
Two other starters, l.. b. DorIand, OF
the Pastime A. c., and Harry D.. Sed1ey,
of the New York A.. c.. went to the line
For the first fifty yards the quartet
sprinted, Sedley, who was on the inside,
taking the lead. From then until the last
hundred yards 1t seemed the aim OF each
to run as slowly as possible, In order to
have one of his opponents take the lead
and set a pace. At the second turn Ramey
was forced to the front, with Sedley second,
Dorland third and Hillman bringing up the
rear. The Chicago boy made several feeble
attempts to fall behind, but each time he
slackened his pace the others did so, and
he was compelled to remain in front.
One hundred and fifty yards from the
finish Hillman quickened his pace a trifle,
and went from last place to second posi-
ton, but while he was making this squirt
the Westerner was sprinting. When Hill
man passed Sedley and Dorland he slack
ened his speed again while Ramey con-
tlnued his squirt. Rounding the last turn
1t looked as though the Chicago man would
win, and just as he was being proclaimed
the victor Hillman started a sprint that
carried him along at, a terrific rate and
in time to win by a few feet. Ramey
finished second and Dorland third.
Dan Kelly, the worlds champion Splinter,
xyao haafan IN furD docbnu He etartR1
from scratch in the GO-yard sprint and was
unable to overcome the handicap allotted to
his opponents. 1t was Kelly's first race
on a board floor. and he ran finely. In the
22O-yard dash the field was so large that
he was unable to get past the handicap
men and was again beaten.
Forrest Smithson, the national champion
high hurdler, won the 6O-yard high hurdle
event In record time. He covered the dis
lance in his heat and in the final in eight
seconds, but on each occasion he knocked
down a hurdle and thereby deprived him
self of the record.
Despite the fact that Melvin Sheppard
was ineligible to compete in the 1,00O-yard
special race. the event was held, Guy
HasSins having as an opponent t. S.
White, of the New York A.. c. White
only graduated from the novice class n
few weeks ago, and was considered by
everyone to have little chance against the
collegiate champion. Haskins won, but he
was compelled TO run his best in order
to do so.
The Pennsylvania flyer took the lead al
the start and opened a gap OF two yards
ON mis- opponent, A lap from home IiaslSln'
started to sprint, but he was unable Il
shake off the local boy. The most enthusi-
astic rooter for White was Sheppard. Eact
time White passed, Sheppard yelled words
Of encouragement, and when Haskins wa
making his sprint the disqualified athlete
jumped to his feet and roared for White tc
go faster.
Eddie Carr. of the Xavier Athletic Club,
captured the three-mile event easily. He
finished fifty yards in front of Billy Frank,
who beat McCarrick five yards for place
honors.
Whatever chance j. b. Taylor, the Negro
runner of the University of Pennsylvania,
had of winning the quarter-m mile event was
shattered in his heat, Rounding one OF
the turns he was fouled and knocked back
several yards. He continued. however, and
finished third. Taylor refused TO start in
the 60O-yard special.
