The defeat of Plat Adams, of this
city, in the Penthalon event at Celtic
Park yesterday afternoon was about
as surprising as the defeat of Frank
l.. Kramer, the bike champion, in a
match race recently by Jackie Clark
Adams lost because he rather care
lessly finished last in the 1,500metel
run, and Kramer lost because he
allowed himself to take all the worst
of it in order to show that he could
beat Clark from anywhere. AS is
generally the case, the best man il
/ beaten when the best man becomes
stubborn and refuses to use his wits
as well as his science. Adams didn'
just seem to take things seriously il
the 1,5O0-meter run, and he finished
last, while p. i. O'Connor, the win
ner. was sixth when the tape wal
reached. O'Connor made such a cred
| liable showing in the Penthalon tina
he will have to be reckoned with il
! the future, but that Adams will bea

seems to be the general opinion o
| the athletic experts. The Penthalol
| event calls for six distinct contests
and in the first five Adams was tn
leader. No one figured that Plat
would be beaten out for first place
| but his poor efforts in the last con
test and O'Connor's fine finish mad
| all the difference in the world.
