CALDWELL WINS 1000:
ENGELS SETS NEW MARK

George tOuldlng, the peerless Waihei'
rot a tremendous reception from the
crowd that attended the Save n Home
games held In the Seventy-frst Regi-
ment Armory last night under the aus
pices Of the Ercning Maj. And in pay
for the applause that welcomed the re-
turn Of the worlds greatest walker TO
competition here the Canadian walked
&he best mile that mortal man has ever
walked In an enclosed building when he
won the special mile walk from scratch
and eaualled his own mark of s minutes
IS seconds made at Buffalo on Decem-
Der IS. 1911. Though only equalling
his previous time, the performance OF
Goulding's last night was superior to the
Buffalo one, as he walked under the new
measurement rules of a twelve inch bor-
der instead of eighteen inches.
There were many startling occurrences
at the meet. which attracted an enthusi-
astic crowd TO the armory. One was
the defeat of champion Jack Filler In
the forty yard hurdle race. In which A.
l.. Engels. the winner, ran the distance
IN I Is seconds. this displacing Eller's
old mark by one-ffth of a second. En-
gels declined his two foot handicap In
this event. and therefore had the honor
Of beating the old champion from the
scratch mark.
Another surprise was the failure or
W. H.. Taylor. the standing broad jump
champion, to gain a place In his favorite
competition. Not only was the former
westerner well beaten on handicap al
lowances, but the winner T.. |. Zines
Of the Bronx Church House made a
better actual performance with his win
ming jump of 10 feet liz inches.
Dave Caldwell. the indoor champion
at 1000 yards. electrified the spectators
BY the finishing sprint with which he
captured the 1000 yard scratch race,
which was one OF the features of the
meet. There were six starters and half
way round the last lap Caldwell appeared
10 he entirely out of 1t. Homer Baker
was leading then. with Devanney second
and Joe Higgins OF Boston third. Cald-
we'll was ten yards behind the leader
when he began to gather momen-
rum. He shot by Higgins in a few
stride and leaped after Deranney ana
Baker. The New Workers manage to
keep in front until ten yards from the
tape. when Caldweirs mighty rush
proved effective and he won by a yard
and a half in . minutes is 3-5 seconds.
Baker beat Devanney by "A yard. Hig-
gins was fourth. while Meredith and
Leslie stopped in the last lap.
Gouldins's race was bv all means the
outstanding feature in "A meet that con-
tanned many thrilling competitions. The
canadian ntu 10 dlIoN nd'u'''t' W.
10 seconds up to i5 seconds 10 the best
heel and toe men in the metropolitan
district. He proved himself again the
~ncomparab IN this method OF pro
erosion. and Eddie REM. the American
champion. who attempted 10 keep pace
With him half way through the journey.
paid the penalty by dropping back TO
seventh place at the end.
REM. with 10 seconds handicap. was
enc paaraSt man To the Canadian when
the race began. After travelling -four
and a half laps Goulding overhauled
REM. but the New Yorker spurted. and
passing Goulding kept in front of him
until the end of the sixth lap, Their
Goulding shot away for keeps, and pass
ing the other plodders in rapid success
SION tooa the lead away from j. Pear
man of the New York A.. e. just as the
pistol shot announced the beginning OF
the last lap. In the final circuit Ciouldins
sprinted 50 that he won by a clea'
twenty yards. with Pearman lasting lons
enough to beat Dick Remer by ten yards
fo- the place. Goulding walked the first
half mile in 3 minutes : 2-5 seconds.
