The Tabs athletic meet, as usual
should furnish some interesting sport
at the armory this evening. The
program of events, as arranged by
Father Z. f. Quirk, is an excellent
one. and the contests, in the main
are sure to be close and exciting
The big event on the card is the 800
yard handicap, in which Tommy
Lennon the University of Pennsyl-
vania crack, will start from scratch
Lennon is the latest wonder of the
runner game. and only recently won
the 1OO-yard. 220-yard and 440-yard
events at the L. of P. freshman
meet Sheppard. who is a big favor
lite in Newark, is given a three-yard
handicap. "Old Mel" is not the
speedster he used to be, but he still
has a good race in him. He always
does his best here, too, and he likes
to win before q Newark audience.
.
Local athletes show prominently on
the program and the Prudential I. c.
A. c. is well represented. The Tabs
meet has been the big indoor athletic
event of the year in Newark for some
time. and everything promises to be
up TO its usual high standard. The
walking match, with its grotesque
is generally the laughing
hit of the show. but the S00-yard
handicap, with Sheppard and Lennon
is sure to be the athletic
treat of the evening. Through the
efforts OF Harold Dibblee a large
entry has been secured for the two
bike races. Others who have worked
hard to make the games a success
are john F. O'Hara and the Owens
brothers-Jimmy and Berney.

Over Gilbert Gallant

BOSTON, Dec. 2.-Harry Stone. Of
New York, was awarded the decision
by Referee Patsy Haley at the Atlas
A. A. last night, after a twelve
round contest with Gilbert Gallant,
of Chelsea. 1t was the last bout of
the season in this city.
The contest was hard fought but
was not as fast as it was expected to
be. Stone is a good boxer, but is not
very hard puncher. Gallant did not
fight as well as usual, but even so
many of the fans were of the opin-
ion that he was entitled to a draw
He forced the fighting in most Of the
rounds, but Stone managed to KEEP
him at bay by clever footwork.
