BIG SURPRISES
Taber, National Champion,
Beaten by Ray in the
Mile Championship.

San Francisco, Aug. 7.-Surprise fol-
lowed surprise in quick succession at
the national track and field champiC l.
ships to-day, and favorites fell by the
wayside in many of the events. The
greatest and most unexpected reversal
was the defeat of Norman S. Taber,
holder of the worlds record for the
mile, in the championship one mile
race by Joie Ray, of the Illinois A. c..
Taber was beaten in the slow time of
4:23 l-5.
The race was a duel between Taber
and Ray, and the Illinois runner just
forged ahead at the tape. Abel Kiviat,
of the Irish-American A. c., Of New
York, ran a poor race, and was un
placed, although it was confidently ex-
pected by many that ne would be up
in the van to the end.
lie Roy Campbell, Of the Chicago A.
c., found conditions exactly TO his lik-
ing in the half-mile run and won in
2:01. Campbell's rugged strength
stood him in good stead in the battle
down the backstretch against the heavy
wind which swept the track, and al
though his time was seven seconds
under his own mark for the distance
ern rivals in the last sprint to the
tape.
Another upset marked the final hea:
of the l00-yard dash, which went to
J. G.. LOOMS, the Chicago A. c. all
around star. Loomis was not expected
TO score against Howard Drew, the ne
gro champion, but he outran his field
and won easily.
4. M,,ol... ,rafObtc ~,
from the University of Wisconsin, put
the 16-pound shot 48 feet ia inches
for the title.
A huge crowd saw what was consid-
cred by track meet followers TO be some
of the most exciting finishes ever wit
messed on a cinderpath. With but few
exceptions the events were contested
right up TO the tape.
