of a second.
The race was the finest sprint race seen
in these parts in many day. Champions
alone made up the field. with the result
that Ekman, Bobby Cloughen. Lawson
Robertson and Billy Heating were the
only starters in the final.
Away to a perfect start this quartet OF
title holders flew down the course. Like
thoroughbreds out for their fast trials
they sped over the track. twenty-five
yards were run, but no one could pick the
the fifty-yard mark they still were
abreast, each straining every muscle to
gain the lead.
At the hundred-yard mark Ekman
forged to the front. He had the inner
lane, which was much the best, but while
sands of voices Bobby Cloughen. the red
headed Irish-American A. c. champion.
was plowing through the heavy going
on the third lane like veritable engine.
Every bound over the loose cinders sent
Cloughen along at a terrific pace. Inch
by inch he gained on the Brooklynite, but
the strain was too much, and he reached
the tape the merest fraction Of foot be-
hind Ekman.
Despite the wind and inner lane, no
credit should be taken from Ekman. He
ran a superb race. Out of training for
some weeks, he displayed the form that
has ranked him with the best sprinters in
the world. In fact, Ekman and his op-
ponents surprised themselves and their
friends. None of them was primed for
such a grueling race, and yet all trav-
eled the course in exceptionally fast time.
The meet, which was managed by Mar
tin Sheridan, was the most successful held
in Greater New York in a year. More
than 10000 persons crowded around the
track and gave round after round of ap-
plause to the victors.
Harry Hillman lowered the colors Of
Mel Sheppard in the 6O0-yard special. but
while the Peerless One was defeated
his race was exceptionally fine. Without
a wink of sleep. and after thirteen hours
work in the Philadelphia custom house,
where he is employed, he ran wonder
full race.
Harry took the lead at the start and
with Mel at his heels set a fast pace.
Rounding the turn for home Shep moved
up. But he was unable to pass Hillman.
Down the stretch they moved along for
fifty yards like three-legged team. Then
Hillman's condition stood him in good
stead, and while the crowd, unaware of
Shops difficulties, moaned the New York
A. c.. champion gradually drew away and
crossed the line two feet in front. Ten
minutes after the race Sheppard was on
his way back to Philadelphia to do an
other thirteen hours duty. Hillman's S
time was I'm. II 4-5s.
The other events brought out big fields
and all of them furnished stirring f1n-
ishes.

Aloysius Club to Reorganize.

There is good deal of talk in amateur
base ball circles about reorganizing the
old Aloysius Club base ball team, cham
pions of the Capital City League several
years ago. There is no doubt that the
move would be a popular one and add
much to the interest Of amateur ball. The
Aloysius Club had a tremendous follow
ing and was rated as one of the fastest
teams in the city. The members of the
team are scattered through the various
leagues, but there Is little doubt that they
could be gotten together again. Bernie
Gallagher, Jessie Baggett, Yaw Davis,
Willie Handiboe. Fenton, Jack Hurley,
Pete Hoffman. Hessler, Joe Handiboe
and several others of the old team are
playing as strong game as ever. With
this crowd as a nucleus a good team
could be built up.
