PEERLESS MEL SHEPPARD
I COMES BACK" AT TABS


Protest Lakes victory.
Immediately after the finish Harry
Matthews, a member Of the Long
Island A. c., and one of the A. A. u
registration committee, protested thu
race, as 1t was declared that LAKE
was a member of Empire City Wheel
men. Bernie Wefers, coach of the
Winged Foot Brigade, alleged that
Lake had secured the release of the
Empire club and that the National
Cycling Association had sanctioned
his affiliation with the New York
A. c.
Billy Anderson Quits.
The pace in the %-mile handicap
was too gruelling for Junior LOCO
Yards Champion Billy Anderson, of
Roselle Park. After getting up to
fourth position he declined to battle
for the honors and dropped out on
the last lap. William Gordon, Tween.
ty-third Street Y. M. c. A., New
York, with 15-yard handicap
breezed home winner In 3m. Tbs,
a time which warranted the junior
champs action. Jack O'Niel, New
York A. c., who was handicapped at
rs yards, took second place, with j.
J. Flaherty, a 75-yard marker, New
York A. c., third.
Sid Leslie Nosed Out.
Casper Scheffer, Long Island A. c.
was never headed after his start from
the 125-yard mark in the Emile run
handicap, winning in 3m. so 3-5s. Sid
Leslie, the Junior national title hold
er, made a sterling effort to overhaul
his clubmate from scratch but was
forced to be content with second
place. Mike Devaney, the Belleville
runner, is credited with finishing In
third position, as Thomas E. Nelson
unattached, picked by the judges for
third, voluntarily confessed after thu
the distance. Pending an investiga
ton the third place medal was with
held.

Angus in Great Form.
Central High School led Englewood
High School over the finish line In
the interscholastic relay race. Win
field Angus, the anchor man of the
Wiener school quartet, was respon-
sible for the Central victory, as he
made up a loss of ten yards handed
over to him by Rubin. Kreitzberg
and Boughton were the other men,
bers of the team. New York Eve
ming High School was scheduled to
start, but question arose about
the eligibility of the New York
quartet. The time for the race was
S:49.
Kuhan's Absence Felt.
The absence of Kuhan probably
cost the New York A. c. team the
handicap relay race. Ross, hurd-
Ter was substituted but anchorman

knights of st. Anthony team, which
won the event in $3.50 2-5. The New
York A. G. was second, while Cen
