some Good Running.
Carl c. Cooke, Of the Cleveland Ath-
letic club, has male the best showing
this season at zoo meters. having
equaIled the Olympic record of p 80
seconds, while Craig did p seconds
on the same day C. d. Reidpath, OF
Syracuse university, bids fair to give
them a good argument, for, in the in
tercollegiate games of June i, he ran
the 220 yards in p 20 seconds, ana
that distance is four feet further. Mer-
GERS % seconds for the 22O yards
brings him well up into the class OF
the others and Drew, of Springfield;
Courtney, of Seattle, and D. 3. Young,
of the Boston Athletic association, are
fast, and Meyer is also in the list, so
there is a fine representation OF sprint
ers in this dash
Reidpath heads all of the 40O-meter

concerned, for, in the lntercolIeglale
