SCOTT RUNS STURDY RACE
Wins Three -Mile Event at Mott
Haven Games.

Louis Scott. the ten-mile champion from
Paterson, proved his ability TO run indoors
AS well as out by winning the three-mile
ha ndicap at the games OF the Mott Haven
Athletic Club and Company II, of the list
Regiment, in the armory last night Scott
started from scratch and beat out Tom
Collins, the Irish-American Athletic Club
runner, in stirring finish.
This race proved the event Of the night.
AS Scott had to concede large handicaps
TO a big field, there were those who doubted
his ability TO get through. Running well
from the outset, the scratch man reeled eff
the first mile in 40. and the second in
s42 3-j. Long before reaching that point
he had caught up with Collins. who showed
disposition to fight it out with his rival.
Going into the third mile Scott assumed
the lead, only to be passed a little later by
Collins. The last named was leading two
laps from home, but shortly before the bell
Scott cut loose and passed the Irishman.
Collins hung on for while. but Scott had
the speed anu broke the tape six yards IN
front. His time Of 14:S7 40 was more than
five seconds slower than George Bonhag's
record.
The mile walk proved to be to the liking
went 10 the Indians" There was some
confusion among the scores, the opinion
prevailing i'm a number Of quarters that
the men had all walked a lap too much.
Sam Schwartz won, and as the time was
$50 % il is quite likely that the extra lap
claim was correct Al Voellmeke, the
scratch man. got second prize. lie has a
style that would not pass muster with a
good many judges OF walking. but Sam
Craemer apparently saw nothing out ~
tho way
With Harry GissinE on scratch, A. Il.
Ei,iat and Dick Egan on the 4 and = ward
marks. respectively the half-mie handicap
was expected TO develop into great race.
Gissiug said before the start that he ha1
had little or no preparation. and the race
he ran seemed 10 bear out the truth Of the
assertion.
There was an unwicldy field. consisting
~ nfty-odd runners strung out all the way
10 10 nifty yards Gissing left his mark
slowly, making little or no effort 10 cut
down his field during the first quarter.
Kiviat and Egan set a faster pace. but
they we're unable TO overcome the long
markers ". Walker Of the GlenmOre
Athletic Club. a limit man, won. Both
Egan and Kiyiat finished ahead of Gissing,
though none was placed. The time was
l.5S
