Devaney ran the 1000 from scratch In
2 minutes Is is scconds, q rafting per-
6orrnance II the track were correctly
measured. The Millrose man had to
Unread his wa through a biz field before
he breasted the ta.,e. The time was
only four-hfths Of a second slower than
the indoor record tied by John w. over
con last saturday night. In view OF the
satt that Devaney showed none OF his
aid speed when he lost his two mile title
10 jon Ray. the experts doubted the time.
Sid Leslie. an old rival OF Devanney's.
declined the issue. so that the Millrose
gunner was the only man on the honor
mark. The nearest men to him were
Louis Scott and G Scheffer. both OF the
1.ong Island a. {. They started from
the rs yard mark. The rest OF the

>aney at the clang of the bell. but
