SHEPPARD AS A Splinter
No Match for Rosenberger in
FurIong Dash.
WINNER SETS TRACK RECORD
Keen Competition on Track and
Diamond at Annual Wanna
maker Store Games.

Keen and brisk competition marked the
annual games Of the Millrose Athletic A.
ISOLATION Of the John wanamaker store
at Celtic Park yesterday. Outside Of the
track events, among them a girls relay
race. there were baseball games between
the Millrose nine and the Fourteenth Street
Store and X. II. Macy teams.
Owing to the ineligibility Of several rum
ners entered in the half-mile interplay
ground relay race, the games off1cials were
compelled to eliminate the contest, and
22o-yard special sprint race was substi-
tuted. ]. NJ. Rosenberger. Melvin w. Shep-
pard and Bert Dewar. jr., Of the Irish
American Athletic Club. and Leroy b. Dor
land, now competing unattached, were the
starters. Rosenberger showed that he was
invincible at the distance, by winning by
two feet from Dorland. who was trailed by
Sheppard.
Then yards after the start Rosenberger
jumped into commanding lead and pulled
the field along at q cracking pace. AL
though forced to the extreme by Dorland
and Sheppard, Rosenberger succeeded in
holding his position to the tape. The victor
crossed the line In 22s4 seconds, which is
the fastest time recorded on the track in
seven years. Lawson Robertson, the Irish
American track coach, made the old record.
The one-mile Catholic Athletic League
relay furnished one OF the most bitterly
fought events Of the day. The Loughlln
Lyceum team, on the eleven-yard mark,
ran a splendid race. Schloesser, In the
first relay, brushed by his rivals in the
stretch. Thereafter, Schloesser's colleagues
easily outclassed their rivals, setting a ter
rife pace, for which they found no chal-
lengers. Loughin Lyceum won by eight
yards. with the knights of Saint Antony
second.
The department store relay race, with
five teams as competitors, was a closed
fixture and gripped the interest of the
spectators The O'Neill-Adams runners
soon made the event one-sided, by the
splendid work OF A. a. Pepis and Dominica
Mass, who appeared as first and last men
on the team Mass flew away from his less
experienced competitors. giving lead OF
ten yards to his relief man. Pepis had only
TO canter around the track on his relay,
and won by almost twenty yards The
Wanamaker followers derived some con-
ISOLATION when their representatives finished
In second place.
