will be unbeatable.
Billy Queal developed a miller that
rather surprised Alfred Shrubb down
at New Haven, Saturday but the lit

two milers
You can get some idea of how fast
Norman Taber is going and what to
expect of him in the New England
, intercollegiate championships in the
Harvard Stadium, Saturday, from the
| report from Providence that he ran
three quarters trial. Saturday last
in 3m. 10 SOS. and that he did it we'll
within himself.
Junior and Senior championships of
the Amateur Athletic Union have been
formally awarded to Chicago as part
of the athletic carnival to be held in
Grant Park June IS to July 6. This,
it is expected, will bring between 800
| and 400 amateur athletes to Chicago
| to compete in the Sc events which
comprise the Junior and Senior
| championships.

| Sprinting handicaps in England Of
| ten have features that seem remark
able to Americans. For instance.
| there was recently held a 100yard
| handicap in Northampton with 81 en-
| tries, and it was won by d. Brealey
of Grendon. who is II years old. He
had of course. a liberal handicap
| 80 yards-but, as he had already won
one race this season, he was well
backed to win in the betting. He won
| by half n yard from men ON the II
and I u yard marks. The old fellow
| has been in sprint races ever since
! he was in his teens. He must have
| an unusual heart.
Donald Lippncott certainly did 4

urday, when he was only inches be-
| hind Keller i'll 4-5s in the 100 and
| was a winner in the 220 and 440 in
| II S-5s and sos. respectively. How
ever, in view of the fact that he
was sick after the quarter at Han
over the week before, it is a question
| whether he should have had so much
| work imposed upon him on rainy
day and a heavy track. Ii it had been
the final meet of the season that
would have been altogether different.
