Quartz - the seventh annual games
Of the Knights Of ST. Antony last night.
Five thousand spectators. a crowd
tha, fled the srmory OF the %1th
Regiment TO the doors. saw this sturdy
son of Father Penn break the tape in
the phenomenal time Of 30 40 seconds,
the second fastest indoor quarter ever
turned. The record is SO 80, estab-
lished by Tom J. Halpin AZ Buffalo on
March 10, 1918. Dave s. Caldwell, who
defeated Meredith on Lincoln's Birth
day, was second, with Val Wilkie, the
Yale flyer. third.
The relay team OF T.oughlin Lyceum
won the Monsignor P. +. O'Hare trophy.
Hauscr, the last man for the Loughlin
men, broke the tape some five yards
in front Of Joe Magnus, of the Presen-
tation Club. and K. VI. Hutchison, OF
the Knights Of St. Antony. The time
was 1888 %.
1t was a wonderful race, OF the sort
that has the crowd on its chairs
throughout. The first relay was close.

flashed out and set the pace. The
crowd went wild, but when the next
set of runners took up the running
r. W. Mcdonald, of Loughln Lyceum,
took the lead The race was over then
to all intenta and purposes, for Hauser
had the foot OF his field and was never
in trouble.
Sylvester q. Johnston. OF the Knights
of St. Antony. started the ball rolling
by capturing the l00-yard dash handi-
cap. Johnston was slow to catch his
stride, but in the last twenty-five yards
he ran through his field in clever style
and was going away at the end. Jim
Cunningham. an unattached boy, WAS
second, and Jack Ryan, of the Knights
of St. Antony, was third. IL was &
blanket finish to an exciting race.
When il was all over and the result
announced Johnston admitted that he
had had his eye on one of the chests OF
small silver for a month or more.
J. B. Perlman, an unattached boy,
won the one-mile walk, aided by 90
second handicap, with Eddie REM, OF
the Mohawk A. c.. the scratch man,
second, Dick Remer. OF the 1rish-Amer-
lean A. c., third. REM made heroic
effort on the last lap, but just failed
. TO get up.
Affording thrills for the crowd was
the purpose OF the athletes, 1t seemed,
and William Van den Dries, of the New
York Athletic Club, kept the good work
up. Riding loose, he nipped Joe Gross,
Of the Empire City Wheelmen, right on
the tape and won by inches. Tony At
tardi, also Of the Empire City Wheel
men, was third. II was a race of spills
as well, and no fewer than six OF the
riders went down. Eddie Goodwin was
among those who tumbled.
The sturdy-limbed Quaker shot out
into the lead at the very start, and
was never headed. Ted ran true to
the line. He was on the victory trail
to stay.
But, il Meredith remained in front,
the positions OF the other runners
shifted in Kaleidoscope change. Cough,
Wilkie and Caldwell flashed in second
place for moments, but IL was Cough
who chased the winner for perhaps $50
yards until Caldwell made his bid.

run down the stretch, as he had on
Friday afternoon. Coming down that
last fifty yards, Meredith hurled him.
self out in one last desperate squirt,
and the advance Of the Others ceased.
and Ted drew away and won by per-
hsps three or four yards.
J. O'Connor, of the New York Ath-
letic Club, captured first prize in the
three quarter run from Mike De-
vanney, who is running unattached,
can A. c., was third. The time was
500 3-5. O'Connor made a super
human effort in the last forty yards,
and barely lasted Devanney was the
stronger BY far and made up ground
hand over fist, but did not get up, in
time.
