Benedict's Prep, Of Newark, y. j.. in
the medley relay race at 1920 yards
st the annual indoor games OF the
Eastern District High School, held at
the 47th Regiment Armory, Williams
burg, yesterday. Although the judges
decided that the Buff and Blue run
ner had caught the ST. Benedict repre-
sentative at the finish, there were
many spectators who were of the opin-
ion that the Newark boy had won by
inches.
De Witt Clinton was the only other
starter. and for brief spell during
the third relay became . contender for
second honors. but IL WIS then left far
behind. After the race the coaches of
Erasmus Hall and s, Benedict's Prep
agreed 20 share equally the expense OF
purchasing O set of medals and a cup
FOR the first named team. The toss
Of coin 70 decide a tic is not per.
mitted by the schoolboy league.

Of twelve yards over Erasmus Hall,
with Clinton third. The runaway as
pect OF the race then changed. NJ. Mar

yards for the New Jersey team, was
unable TO maintain fast pace, and
James Barssh, of Erasmus Hall, came
on strongly until he was only inches
behind. Clinton had pulled up 20
within five yards OF the leading run
ners.
Arthur Desch succeeded Martin. while
William Goldman, a ~ Tor champion

Benedict boy set the pace, but Gold
