Has Chance to Better BOnhag's
5000 Metre Mark, but
Eases Up.
DAISLEY TAKES QUARTER
Free Lance Takes Only Other
Open Event in Hollow
Style.

william j. kramer played waitinT
game long enough during the running OF
the 5000 meter handicap at the Fourteen
Regiment games last nisht to spoil his
chance Of beating the indoor record for
the distance, held by George Bonhag.
There was comparatively mall field
and the Long Islander who was In fine
condition. had an excellent chance to clip
the figures Of :35, set by Bonhag at
Boston. He reeled OF the first mile /
:36 and the mile and quarter in
8: IA LIS. This placed him ell within the
time necessary to make good on the
record, but a couple OF laps later he
coilared 0ianakopulos and Tsub. who were
leading the field.
As soon a. Kramer assumed the lead ne
dallied with the handicap mel and al
lowed them 20 pass him. He accepted
their pace for several laps. and when he
cut loose a little more than a quarter Oh
a mile from the finish al, hope of the
record had vanished. Kramer opened up
u gap Of thirty yards. but In t..e last lap
let down again. and fAub. Who was rae
ing in earnest to beat the Greek, was
within fifteen yards Of the winner when
he passed the tape. kramers time was
s:+7 is seconds. which by no mean
showed his ability.
The quarter mile handicap was the
only other open event on the programme.
This WAS taken In hollow style by X.
Daisley, an unattached runner. who won
by about the start the Handicapped had
allowed him. Haussr and Gilmore had a
fight for second place. which ended in
favor of the former by the smallest posi-
BILE margin.
Mel Sheppard. attached to the Hospital
Corps Of the Fourteenth. gave grand
exhibition Of finishing power in the 600
yard handicap for members OF the regi-
ment. He conceded starts up TO 55 yards.
and when the bell rang for the last lap
there were dozen men In front OF hin,
and the leader was thirty yards away.
The real runner came TO the surface then
and Sheppard passed man after man,
while the crowd roared announcement
W. Mackin. a limit man. was staggering
along in front and Shsppard's rush had
been delayed long enough to allow Mackin
to roll over the lino two yards IN front
| of the champion. The time was ! "a 2-5
and sheppard was only a fifth OF a second
slower.
Ike Lowell. another veteran. covered
himstlf with glory in the 22o yard hurdle
| handicap 1t was announced NJ his fare
| well appearance and the crowd rooted
hard for him to lower the armory record
OF 30 seconds made in 1909 BY ". Raleigh.
| Lowell had rough journey and turning
| into the str ten had 20 force his way
| through the laEgards In front. II was all
he could do to get up, but he reached the
| judges a yard to the good and in time
! that beat the old record BY two-hfths OF a
| second.
| a. Nell Of Company put double
event to his credit by winning the 20 yard
handicap from the foot mark and later
captured the hobble race, which with the
rescue race provided ample amusement
| FOR the crowd. There was close iGh;
