COUGH BEATS ECAN
IN DRIVING FINISH
Metropolitan 900 Yard
Champion Shows Speed
at 69th Regt. Games.

William Cough. the junior Metropolis
tan 600-yard champion, had just enough
speed to win a special 6O0-yard race at
the indoor games of the seth Regiment,
held in the armory, Twenty-ffth Street
and Lexington Avenue, last night. His
margin of victory over X. j. Egan, of
the lrish-American A. c., who was sec
oud, was barely foot. Pete Hauscr,
the Loughlin Lyceum runner, came
through with great burst OF speed
and took third place from Edward Bal
lester. Of Morris High School. Myles
McHugh, Hugh HushOn and Harry
Hooking were scheduled TO appear, but
did not toe the starting line.
The race was fast, with Egan losing
an opportunity TO win the honors by
delaying his final sprint too long. The
men jumped away at the start, with
Cough setting the pace, Ballcstier
second. Egan third and Hauser fourth.
On the completion of the first lap Bal
lester moved into the lead. but twenty
five wards farther on ne found Egan at
his shoulder. They battled on together
until a half lap from home, when
Cough sprinted past Egan and soon
gained lead OF three yards. Egan
then sprnted after the leader, and al
though he gradually retrieved the lost
ground he failed 20 Overtake Cough.
Ballestier ran himself out in the
early stages, and when the test came
he was unable TO challenge Hauser's
sprint. The latter took third place by
inches.
Arthur J. Fogel, of the IrishAmeri-
can A. c., who started with a handicap
of l25 yards, captured the threemile
run. Fogel was full of speed, and won
by fifteen yards. Nick Gianakopulos
and Charles Pores, who started from
the back mark, had great tight for
second place. Shortly after the second
mile the two runners moved into sec
ond place, and for three-quarters Of a
mile they fought it out tooth and nail,
but two laps from home Pores sprlnted
away. 10 beat the Greek by twenty
FIVE yards.
