Charles II. Ebbets and the McKeevers
who are trying to make hay while the
sun shines-or rather, when the SuperDas
are on the road and the ball park Is de-
serted-staged the first of a series OF al
ternoons given over to a carnival OF sport
yesterday. and provided enough variety
in the way of outdoor pastimes to satisfy
the most captious. Professional running
races. bicycle races. relay races, ana. last
of all. a ball game between semi-profes-
sional mines rounded out day OF sport
and although Ebbe;s Field was not taxed
to accommodate the crowd, there were
oppqrentiv enough present 20 make the
affair worth repeating a week hence
A. L. Wood. the English long distance
runner. and Billy QueaL OF AleXandF
Bay. furnished the best part OF the daN
competition They had "a rousing tus>le
i'm a special match race at five miles
which Wood won by going out In the
fourth mile and opening up big gap on
the Alexandria Bay man. In the open
OIt-Illlt rave. W lls' ~ NsAi''N 'N'
dav. Oueal came back strong and raced
Wood. stride for stride, all the way
finally beating him out i'm the last ten
yards by a terrific sprint.
Fred Meadows and Alfred Shrubb. the
former English champion acd two-miie
record holder. ran a fve-mile team race
against Tom Longboat and Andrew SOCK
alexis, who was a member of the Amerl-
can Olympic team last summer and was
competing in his first professional race"
Sockalcxis became i'll after running three
laps. and the burden of running against
Meadows and Shrubb fell almost entirely
on Dongboat.
After resting for several laps the hItle
Maine Indian resumed the race, but couid
not keep UP the pace, though ne uleu
hard. When ne finished he rolled on inc
grass i'm intense pain. and had 10 Dt
helped to the dressing rooms. This l'it
only Longboat to finish, and the best ne
could get was a poor last He hnsheo
third of a lap behind Meadows VINO
did the running IN the last lap for the op-
posing team.
Joe Fogler disposed Of Goullet, the Aus
tralian. in the best of three match Di-
cycle races The first race was hai-
mile sprint. and the Brooklyn rider peat
his man over the rough turf course oS
half a wheel. In the two-mile race WhicA
was pedalled on the Australian pursuit
plan. Goullet looked like the winner uil'i
the second lap from the end, when FOG
Ter let out a terrific burst Of speed and
lust caught his man on the line. IL
seemed to many that the Australian had
vo, but he readily enough conceded the
race TO the American.
A lOO-yard dash by two pretty girls
furnished a lot Of amusement for the
crowd. They started from point In cen
ire field and raced in the general direc-
ton of The pitchers box. Miss Jula
DoWney won by three yards, after having
outrun all the way a far-haired niue
girl. who. the announcer said, was MlsS
Hutchinson.
Wood and Queal made a splendid race
NJ the one-miIe run. Six men-Wood.
oueal Iongboat Meadows. Shrubb and
sockalexis-were slated to start but only
the first four named were on the Ine
when the pistol was fired Shrubb hdd
pulled up lame after his part In the team
race. and Sockalexis was still too SICK
TO care much whether there was announcer
race or not. Wood and Queal. renewing
their rivalry Of the ave-mile race set
out hotfoot at the gun. with Meadows
directly behind them and Longboat trail
ing.
Yard by yard Wood and Queal plodded
yfs1fg D. ar
pole and apparently running well wlthih
himself Queal ran along at his elDo"'
and thus they fought through the hist
two laps. Longboat found the gong 700
stiff and dropped out, while Meadows
was unable TO get within ten yards ol
the leaders. Right down TO the last M
teen wards not more than foot sepa-
rated the leading pair. and It was only
bv a magnificent sprint that Queal was
able 10 pull out ahead and take the race
