Finish.
The Ijthe-Iin athletes of the 1onp-
kins Avenue Congregational Church were
victorious in the annual-nneet of the Sun
day Schools Athletic League, held under
the direction OF the 1st Company of the 18th
Regiment in the armory last night. The
Tompkins avenue lads scored total Of g
points and barely nosed out the boys of
the Central Congregational Church. who
finished second, with IS points 10 their
credit James Methodist Episcopai was
third. with IA, and Wyckoff Heights finished
In fourth place with 13 points TO their
credit.
Although the league IS composed Of more
than one hundred churches. the meet at
tracted only fair sized crowd, and not
more than fifteen hundred persons we're
on hand While lacking in numbers, the
crowd was enthusiastic. and each consreGa-
ton rooted for the boys with all their
hearts The races were hard fought, and
many stirring finishes marked the night
sport This was especially so in the mile
run for the intermediate class and the
quarter-miIe run in the same class
r. Vending, of the Central Congrega-
tionaI Church. with a handicap of % yards,
ran to victory in the mile race, barely de-
feating Eddie Herd. who a few seasons ago
wore the silks of the Commercial High
school Vending won in driving finish
by a scant two yards. Fred Berge. OF the
German Reformed Church. was third. some
distance behind.
At the crack of the pistol, which. in the
empty armory, sounded like the boom OF
a 13-inch gun. Herd set out in an endeavor
TO cut down the limit men In two laps
he was running in third position, five yards
behind the leader, and on the next lap shot
out into the lead with sprint that carried
him five yards ahead. He held his lead
until the bell lap. when Vending chal-
lenged him on the far turn. For fifty yards
the pair fought neck and neck While the
arruory rang with the shouts of the crowd
The strain of running down the leaders told
on Herd. and coming into the straightWay'
Vending, who had saved his strength.
spurted past his tired opponent and breast
ed the tape a winner.
