BALESTIER RUNS
QUARTER MILE IN O.52
Kelly, the Metropolitan Junior
Champion, Twice Fails to
Overcome Handicaps.

A 3 point margin gave the team hon
ols to the athletes of the Bronx Church
House in the annual handicap track
and field games of the Church Athletic
League, held at McCarren Park, Green
point, yesterday. Their total was Al
points, while close on their heels came
the members of the Knights of st. An
tony, with 38 points. Their honors
went to the Holy Cross Lyceum, of
Manhattan, with 10 points.
The meet for the team honors was
a duel between the track teams from
the Bronx Cnurch House and the
Knights of St. Antony. in a number
of the events the boys OF either club
would finish three runners in the four
places. Winning honors went TO the
Bronx squad, when its two relay teams
succeeded in taking second and fourth
places in the half-mile event, the last
race on the programme. which Melted
them 4 points. The race was won by
the Knights quartet by lve yards after
a spirited fight.
Eddie Balestler. the schoolboy cham
plon, and member of the Knights OF
st. Antony, made the fast time of 80
seconds over the poor track in winning
the quarter mile race from scratch. He
used rare judgment in his final squirt,
which he started 100 yards from home,
and it carried him to a victory by
inches over Eddie Haupt, of the Bronx
Church House. The latter was caught
five yards from the tape.
George B. Kelly, of the Bronx Church
House, recently winner Of the one-mle
junior metropolitan championship,
made two vain efforts to overcome han
dicap fields He finished fourth in the
one-mile event, in which he covered
the distance in 4:46 3-5 seconds, which
lowered the league record by two sec
onds. In this race William Banfield
ran an Unexpectedly good race from
the 15-yard mark, defeating J. f. Fleck,
another Knights of st. Antony men,
Der, by twenty yards.
The 880-yard run saw John J. Cam
ming, of the Holy Cross Lyceum, make
a brave but futile effort TO overtake
Bert Mclaughlin, a clubmate, for the
leading honors. Mclaughlin made moss
of the pace. but Canning uncorked a
fast sprint in the last fifty yards that
carried him to within foot of Nc
Loughlin as he crossed the tape. Kelly
was fifth in this event.
