The athletes OF the Dominican Lyceum
ran their way 10 victory in the champion
ships of the Catholic Athletic League, held
in the arnory Of the 69th Regiment last
night. The green clad athletes Of the
LyCeum rolled up a total of p points, ana
nosed out the runners OF the Loughiih

e points. The Knights Of st. Anthony were
tied for third position with the boys OF 81
AIMS. with IS credits, while the ozaha'h
athletes established clear Title 10 iourlh
position. with - points.
A crowd OF aDout four thousand persons
packed ;he spacious armory, and, aIthoush
the indoor season is so far gone the spec
tators witnessed one of the best conducted
warmly contested meets of the season. NO
records were broken. but fast times ana
rairlipe finishes were accomplished in many
events Several relay races for boys were
run. and the fervor which the lads threw
into their efforts stirred the crowd. and the
youngsters were cheered 20 the echo.
one Of the host races Of the indoor sea-
son was seen n the half-mile run. which
was won ry H. j. Mclaughlin. OF the
Knichts Of 81 Anthony. Mclaughlin holds
the record for the 440 and $50 yard and one
mile runs tie was IN fine fette last night
and covered the distance around the turns
of the ton-lap track in the creditable time
Of 2.o2
McI.aughlin was pitted against Jack
Holmes. Of the Knights Of st. Anthony;
Jim Buckley. az Loughln Lyceum; Tom
NcLauahliu. Of LouPhln Lyceum. ana
Eddie Gilmore. Of Dominican Lyoeum.
When the sun sent the men off 10 per
feet start Mike Mclaughlin jumped out
like a Jack rabbit lie fairly burned the
boards but the lads chung TO him. Kun
ming ike hounds in close pack, the heIu
,raned the flying leader until two laps from
home he seemed 10 lose his stride ana
while the roof Of the armory rocked under
the cheers Of the crowd, Gilmore took the
lead. with Tom Mclaughlin second.
Mike Mclaughlin evidently was content
10 let the pace setting rest with his name
sake. and he took the trail and recovered
his stamina On the bell lap. however he
rushed out in true Mel Sheppard style and
won going away by several yards.
The two-mile run was productive OF two
disoua'ifcauons. J. McCabe, Of All Saints
Lyctum. and r. VI. Heller, Of the knights
Of St Anthory, were well out in the lead
when the Judges detected them doing some
thing which was not within the pale Of the
law. They were ruled off the track. Roth
BOYS protested vigorously. and when the
judges remained firm in their stand the dis
erllntled athletes stood along the rail and
endeavored to coax several runners to quit
the race There were no recruits to the
mutiny
after pretty struggle Harry Caring, Of
in
ner. G.. 3. Heller defeated Billy Banfeld
for second honors by about ten yards.
The relay team Of Dominican Lyceum
was unfortunate IN having Kenny Lozier,
the anchor man on its midget relay team,
disqualified. Tire race was limited to boys
under feet inches Lozier. who at one
time was one Of the Public Schools Athletic
Leagues star performers, measured feet
9. inches. Dominican finished in second
place but the team members did not hesl-
tate to say that with the fleet footed Lozier
in the team they would have won.
