Unknown Splinter Carries On
Honors in Big Catholic
Union Meet.
By A. c. CAyAGNAR0.


unknown sprinter of the Father
Matthew's 7. A. b. S, was the sensation
at the twenty-second annual games Of
the Catholic Young Mems Diocesan
Union of New Jersey. held at Hillside
Park. Bellevillc, yesterday. Probably
not more than a handful Of the specta-
tors knew the speed of Doyle before
the start of the games, but when taps
ended for the afternoon his name was
on the lips Of all. Doyle raced to
brilliant victories in both .he 100 and
900 yard handicap dashes in handy
fashion, and his performances stamp
him as a dangerous Splinter.
While this created a stir, the greatest
surprise Of all came in the first relay
OF the 1,950-yard medley event. Doyle
was pitted against Fred Muenster, one
of the best sprnters in New Jersey. The
skcptics who doubted his ability TO
hold Muenster were soon reassured'
Doyle set a blazing pace for his rival,
and gained an advantage of two yards
as the tape was reached.
Eased Up in Century.
DOYLE leaped away from his starting
mark like a greyhound, making most Of
the handicaps allowed his rivals. In
the century sprint he eased up, to win
by three yards, while in the 2X-yaro
event Doyle found time enough ~ turn
his head around to watch his opponents
and still win by three yards.
In spite Of Doyle's great aid the
Tabs team was led to the wire in the
race by the st. Rose of Lima team.
One OF the disappointments on the
Father Matthew quartet was William
c. J. Kelly, holder of the 600-yard
Junior national indoor title, who ap-
peared TO be out of condition. In the
third relay, at 800 yards, Kelly was OPP
posed by Charley Coll, and the latter,
after taking the pace, ran away from
Kelly, to lead by fifteen yards. EDDIE
Garvey. anchor for the Tabs, although
running his strongest, failed to make
up the loss for his team, being beaten
by twenty-five yards.
W. II. Goodman, of 81. Rose of Lima,
a diminutive athlete with a stout heart,
raced many of his rivals into. submits
sion in winning the one-mile handicap
run. He showed considerable reserve
speed on the last lap, to win as he
pleased. Robert Simgerline more than
doubled his allowance of 10 yards IN
easily capturing the three-mile rum
while c. A. Walsh, representing the
Tabs team, flashed a great finishing
sprint near the tape in taking the $50
yard handicap run.
New York Athletes Compete.
Many local athletes who reside in
New York City competed for the Jer-
sey clubs, although the rules prohibit
them. However, the officials made no
effort 10 investigate the unknowns, and
as a result many prizes were carried
away. Several close finishes featured
the 1O0-yard dash, and their decisions
caused wrangles with the competing
athletes. Elbowing and go-as-you-
please running marred several other
events, but no effort was made to rep
rimand the offenders.
