realized his task was hopeless.

HARRY NICHOLS
DOUBLE WINNER
IN HARLEM MEET
Morningside A. c. Runner
Captures TwO-Mile and
1000 Yard Races.
BY A. c. CAYAGNARO.

Harry Nichols. the newest star in the
ranks Of the Morningside Athletic Club,
raced to two brilliant victories in the
monthly games of the Harlem club,
held at Macomb's Dam Park yesterday.
, The torrid heat had its effect on the
runners, Old Sol forcing all but four
of tho twenty starters in the two-mile
event to fall by the wayside.
Nichols had an allowance Of ~ sec
onds, and by steady and fast running
went into the lead half mile from
home. From then on ne raced along
unchallenged, winning as he pleased by
fifty yards. Lew Heydet and Terry
Halpin, the clubs mos; prominent dis
TANGO runners, toed the scratch mark,
but failed to finish. Heydet sought q
shady spot at the end of the first half
mile; while Halpin continued on until
Nichols took the van, when he Joined
/ Heydet.
The 1,0O0-yard handicap also proved
q walkover for Nichols. Moving away
rapidly, he gained q commanding pc.
sition in quick time. Entering the final
lap he led the field, and, as If carried
along by the wind, romped home with
an advantage Of twenty-five yards in
2:24.
/ Heydet returned to his old love by
capturing the 220-yard handicap dash.
Showing remarkable speed, the was al
ways a contender, flashing strong
finish that gave him victory by three
81 toh
who finished second, failed to earn a
higher position in the 100-yard dash,
being beaten to the tape by Fred Rud-
loft.
The one-mile walk found Frank
Kieser, the clubs champion, winning a
slow race, with much to spare, while
Jim Zaslovsky, as expected, overcame
/ the handicaps in capturing the twelve
pound shot put.
/ With the completion Of the second
series of games, the third and final to
follow next month, the point table for
prizes shows Sim in the lead with IL
points. Nichols follows, one point be-
I hind, while K. Lillis, the track captain,

MURTHA CASE
UP FOR TRIAL
+. THIS MONTH

Judge w. C. Crawford sets the case
of Stark County against former
States Attorney T. T. Murtha and
Commissioners Mischief, Hughes and
Roquette for trial, beginning Decem-
Der 22nd.
The case now pending in the dis
trict court is attracting attention of
every tax payer in the county, as
this action is brought on behalf of
the county through the efforts of the
Dickinson Commercial Club to collect
from former States Attorney Murtha
and Commissioners A. F. Mischief,
Delbert Hughes and F. A. Roquette,
$4794.71 and interest from Septem-
Der 18th, 1918. This was for money
paid to Murtha under a resolution
passed by the board while he was
states attorney, the commissioners
agreeing to give him one-half of a
$4,000 judgment the county had
against the Northern Trust Company
if collection was made. The case went
to the supreme court once on de-
murrer and the supreme court held
the payment to Murtla was illegal
and that the contract made by the
commissioners was illegal and void
according to the allegations of the
complaint. AS we understand it an
affidavit of prejudice has been filed
against Judge Crawford and he is to
call in another judge to try the case
