gest upset was when Texas Ramsdell.

won the 100 and 900 yards amateur cham
pionships, beating Walker, the South
African Olympic winner, and other
cracks.
1t was conceded that the final of the
100 yards was between Walker and the
American, and SO it proved For seventy
five yards Walker held his own, but in
the last twenty-five the giant Red and
Blue Splinter came with terrific rush
and literally hurled himself at the tape,
winner by two feet. The time, 10 is
seconds, was fine performance, and
There was a nasty wind and a heavy
track. so that even time would have been
a certainty with favorable conditions.
In the 220 yards Ramsdell was pitted
against Haley for the final, and the best
race of the day was witnessed. 1t was
nip and tuck all the way. Haley holding
his own for more than 200 yards. Then
the strength of the American stood him
in good stead and enabled him to reach
the tape a scant foot ahead The finish
was so close that some of the spectators
thought it was a dead heat until the
Judges announced the result. Cartmell,
the former Pennsylvania athlete, who is
now a professional, handled Ramsdell,
and his advice had much to do with the
latter's victories.
