DREW FALLS BACK
IN DASH AND LOSES
Ruben Differs From Some
who Think lie Didn't
Try to Win.
McHUGH DEFEATS BAKER

last night because he did not win the
20 yard open handicap in which he
was on scratch. There was nothing I'M
usual in the fact that he was beaten, as
he had to concede as much as 20 feet
handicap to many of those entered. ana
- feet to the winner, :. l.. VESSEL or
the College of the City of New York.
The nutter of excitement was caused
by the distinct impression gained by
many Of the spectators that the holder
OF the worlds record for 100 yards did
not even try to win. If that could De
proved. or even believed officially. 1t
would subject the colored sprinter TO an
investigation similar to that conducted
over the dead heat run by kiNtat ana
k~olehmainen two years ago.
Some of the spectators went so FAR
as to say that Drew pulled up after
he had got on even terms with tho
men he was giving big handicair 10.
This idea. however, might have been
caused by their watching the race from
an angle. as Frederick W. Ruben. the
referee. was positive that the colored
man never caught the men IN front OF
him..
Ruben gave the clearest statement on
the happening. lie said hat Drew UNI
doubleday did his best for so yards,
then when he saw he could not win he
eased up. so that he finished absolutely
last In the heat. There was some
excuse for Drew not flying at top speed
In "a hopeless chase. as the distance
Of 30 yards left only a few yards for
the men TO pull up before bumIbiug into
mats protecting them from the wall.
This meant evident danger for a man
Of Drew's speed and might have injured
him so that he would. have to cancel
several important engagements in the
near future.
II was a bad night for champions and
faNoritcs. as Homer Baker. the crack
inner Of the regiment, was forced TO
auit IN the last lap Of the hair mile open
only to the regiment. which Was won 10y
Myl.e McHugh IN the fast time OF l
minute - 90 seconds.
Baker made up a lot of sruuud IN
the early part OF the ricr and wien
the bell rang for the last lap was ia
sixth place and only ten yards behind
Ntzhugh,. who started from 4 handicap
Of "a yards. The big weight carrier
had plenty IN reserve. however, and
a. he shot away again Baker threw WI
the sponge before the lap WAS half
over. Mciiugh had to keep going to
IN, end 20 beat his fellow man from
Company II. L. j. sweeney.
There was another upset tu the 600
yard open handicap IN which Mike De-
! anney and Willie Gordon were the
scratch men in a big field. SID Leslie
OF the Long Island \ g. who had an
allowance OF ou.y sly yards. ran with
