THE POINT WINNERS.

Keen competition in nearly all Of the
forty events. fast time in the majority Of
the races, and remarkably clever manage
ment of all the details connected with
the meet combined to make the Federal
games at Convention Hall last night a
pronounced success from every point OF
view.
Guy Haskins. the famous Pennsylva-
MIA runner. who holds several intercol-
legiate titles at long distances. failed to
return a winner in either of the races
in which he ran. In the mile he finished
third TO Breyer and Brenton of Johns
Hopkins while in the 1000-yard run. he
was unable to pass Brenton, who won by
three yards.
Al a meeting of the Pennsylvania ath-
letic committee yesterday Haskins was
dropped from the university. as he was
not giving satisfaction I'm class work.
With the expulsion of the New Zealander
Pennsylvania lost the greatest track ath-
lete. and last night Haskins was forced
to run unattached.
Capt. CRrtmeH Loses.
Capt Cartmell. of Pennsylvania. the in
tercollegiate sprlnting champion, had
even less success than his team mate. as
he was forced out of the 50-yard handi-
cap by Martin. of Georgetown. in the
trial heat while in the invitation dash
the leader Of the QuakeTs was third, with
Gill. A schOolbOy from Tome Institute,
first, and Rector, Of Virginia, second.
Pennsylvania found considerable consola-
ton in the victory of HaTtranft in the
hurdles and in the easy manner in which

pions the features Of the meet were the
relay races.
Richmond College Wins.
The hardest fought of the team events
resulted from the Richmond College
Georgetown Reserve match. The George
town varsity four was at New York and
in order TO enter a team in the Federal
games a substitute four was organized.
These runners are almost as fast as the
varsity men, but in Richmond College
they found team which was more than
their match although up 10 the last
quarter of the last lap it was anybody's
race. When LOuthan, OF Richmond. and
Mohn, Of Georgetown. got the touch. they

hard to hold the Georgetown man that he
was hardly able to stagger up to the tape.
while MOhn fell exhausted fifteen yards

The interCity race resulted in a victory
for Washington over the best aggregation
that could be gathered together in BaIti-
more. The visitors led for the greater
part Of the distance, and when Pete Her
ring took UP the going the last Baltimore
runner had quite an advantage. 1t looked

Washington runner gave a grand ex-
hibition, and tearing around the track at

The W00dberry- Forrest Episcopal High
School race, which proved one Of the
best events on the card at the George
Washington meet three weeks ago. was
disappointment last night, as Episcopal
obtained an early lead, and increased the
advantage until Woudberry was half a
lap behind az the end.

alumni cup, which was offered for the
team scoring the most points. DIercers-
burg piled up a total Of 81. with Tome
second, with s and the Georgetown Props
third with 3. The clever work of Tom
Smith in the hurdles gave the preps their
points.
At all meets held in Convention Hall
previous TO last night the overcroWding
of the infeld always proved one of the
greatest drawbacks. as the gathering of a
crowd near the finish Obstructed the
spectators view, and hundreds always
left the hall dissatisfied. Last night
however, so well was the whole affair
conducted that only those who were ac-
tuaily needed were permitted 10 remain
inside of the track.
The meet was easily one of the most
successful ever held here, and reflected
the greatest credit upon the managerial
ability OF ". G. Stuart, who conducted
