Alfred Woods, OF England. in the one hour
running race at the professional athletic
carnival held in the armory of the 18th
Regiment last night Barely 2J0 persons
occupied chairs but those who we're there
saw one Of the best races ever run on an
indoor track. Queal won by about 25 yards,
but only because Woods stopped running
after completing what he thought TO be the
last lap. The majority Of the spectators
left the building in the belief that Woods
was the better man, and could beat oueal
in a return engagement
Certain It is that the gritty little Briton
met with enough misfortune In the closing
moments OF the struggle TO discourage any
but a Spartan, but he stuck to his guns.
In the last part of the ninth mile Woods
lost his shoe. and Queal leaped out in a
buruing suriut. He gained 70 yards before
the Engrishman recovered his footgear and
again took I'D the trail. Looping out In
