ATHLETES DISPLAY GLASS
Pfila. Armory is Crowded At Games Of the Meadowbrook Club-DreSser Fails to Win i, 900 Yard Run.

Philadelphia, March 9.--The 2d Regiment Armory proved entirely too small to accommo odate the hundreds of athletes who competed in the first session of the two night track and field carnival of the Meadowbrook club. held here last night.
 College and prominent club .atI- ietes competed in the various races, which were featured by many heats, on account of the big entry. The. crowd taxed the seating capacity of $500, while many other spectators surrounded the small oval. s@
 The first treat in the way of close finishes came in the SS0-yard novice rum in which three college men crossed the finish line not more than one yard apart. They were T. E. Penfield, of Princeton, the winner. and P J. Carey, of Syracuse and R. Blister Penn State, who finished sec ond and third, respectively.
 Penfeld canie through a winner byj saving ground on the final turn and squirting past Carey and Blister in the | last ten yards. A field of twenty started, but after the first two laps1 the three mentioned were out inl front alternating in setting a brisk pace.
 Ivan c. Dresser of Cornell, the in tercollegiate cross-country champion, faltered in the closing strides of the 1O00-yard handicap run named in his honor to finish third. Dresser, from scratch, experienced difficulty in get ting past his rivals, being forced to4 run on the outside of his field. Hel was unable 10 hold the lead after att taining it two laps from home.
 John D. Dernming, of Penn State, with a 22-yard start, was the winner, after running with the leaders from the outset He stayed with the pack until the crack of the gun, when he uncorked his reserve speed to jump past Dresser Demming opened mp 3 lead quickly to win by ten yards in 2:20 4-5.
 Dresser tired badly, and Harry VVigger, of the Paulist Athletic Club, Now York, came on to nip Dresser for second place, only inches from the tape. Wigger was i'll a pocket up to the finishing stretch run, when he got clear to overtake Dresser with 9 brilliant burst Of speed.
 Four records were smashed by' Douglas c. Sinclair, of Princeton University, in making mark of 51 feet 7s inches in putting the twelve pound shot. The Tiger man smashed \ his figures of 50 it. 34 inches made in the Meadowbrook games last year, and which record is also the Middle 1 Atlantic district record. It also ex- ceeds both the local outdoor and in- door record. |

Jimmy Page was the first man to whip John l.. Sullivan, but the records are silent. They credit James J. Corbett with that lone distinction.
 Jimmy Page was headmaster of the Dwight school, Springfield street, Boston, Mass, and one of his tWelve- year-old mischief makers was one John T.. Sullivan. One day, after the young mans teacher could no longer endure Sullvan's idloness and trcI- ness, he sent for Jimmy Page, long hero in Boston's school circles
 Step up here, young man." said Jimmy to John l.. "Now you're going to learn better manners
 And John l.. stepped up and with out whimper, took his rat-tanning in front of the whole class.
 But the records don't say a word about this first defeat of John l.. Sul- liVan.

draw. The American believed Q. re- fusal. And so the fight went on. For eight rounds more the tired, weary gladiators strove for victory-but each failed.
 And then, as time was about to be called for the 39th round, John LIS handlers decided that a draw would not be such d bad thing after all. So they jumped over to Baldock and told him that they would agree to his earlier proposition. Baldock took one look at Mitchell, near collapse in his chair. another look at John l.. and said
 "All right; the fight ends il! a draw"
 The referee was notified of the agreement and at once announced to the crowd:

Annapolis, Md, March 9.-Advo- cates of the anti-betting bill, now before the legislature, who filled the senate chamber yesterday in eXpecta- ton that they would be able to jam the measure through, were chagrined when the committee on judicial pro ceedings postponed action until next Tuesday.
 The anti-betting bill was reported unfavorably while the Prick bill was favorably reported. The latter meas ure also will come up for action next Tuesday.
 Expert opinion is to the effect that the vote on the anti-betting bill will be close, owing to the fact that the racing element is not working har- moniously.

 Down Penn Representatives.

Princeton, x. J., March 9.-Prince- ton maintained her place in the In- tercollegiate Swimming league race by a 3S-tO-15 victory over Penn in the Brokaw Memorial pool here last night.

He was out to finish the great English fighter in jig tHne'- but he failed. John l.. Deamed be- yond 20 pounds when the battle be- ~n". He outWeighed Mitchell some thing like 60 pounds, but much ot it ". Useless, hindering flesh.
 The fight hadn't gone very far be-
 for Sullivan aWOkc to the sad real ization that his failure to train had ruined his chance for victory. Ehe old-time speed was gone from his legs and there wasn't the same old power in his mighty swings. He reached Mitchell often enough with his famous right handler and Charlie went down again and again. But the Sullivan punches, unsupported by the splendid muscle of other years, lack cd their sleep producing effect And always the game British warrior was ready for the next call of time.
 Mitchell fought through those cArlN rounds merely on the defensive. Few brainieT warriors ever lived than that British battler. Knowing he couldn't
  John L. during the early rounds, Charlie played the get away and wait game He figured that Suli- van's condition was such as to make it impossible for him to keep up the whirlwind aggrcssiveness. And Mjtch- els calculations were correct.
 All through the battle Jack BalGock known as one of the toughest men in the Birmingham district, and who was acting as one of Mitchell's s0o- onds, taunted Sullivan. He called J ohm l.. the foulest names that he
 could think of. All this served to in~
 crease the fury of the Americ2N n. Whenever John l.. made a miss 1t brought moro jeers from Paddock and John L. was like wild man in his efforts to reach Mitchell with sol i'd smashes. If ever there was a man the mighty Sullivan wanted to natter, that man was Charlie Mitchell.
 But John L. failed.
 As the twentieth round ended, it was apparent that Mitchell, although badly battered, was in a fresher con dition than the unmarked Sullivan. john l.. had weakened himself moro in rushing Mitchell than he had his foe. All this became apparent to the
 crafty Briton and with the beginning of the twenty-first round he changed tactics-shifted from the defensive to the offensive. And how ho did tear into the weary John l.!
 Mitchell bonn barded John l.. with
 1efts and rights. They landed with all the power of MitchelPs body be- hind them upon the face and body oI the American. For ten rounds Mitch ell continued, trying desperately to knock out John L. for the long count.

 (Fditors Note: This is tho 1ftn chapter of a series of articles which Mr. Corbett is writing on John L. AS I Knew Him." It relates many here toforc unpublished incidents in the life of the great warrior. The next instalment will appear Monday.)
 On the greensward, near Chanii!lN, France, was staged the John l.. Sulli- yan-Charlie Mitchell contest that has such a prominent place in pugllStic history.
 True to their threat, toughs from the London district turned out in force for this contest and attempted at the outset to frighten the great champion. It was their hope to throw fear into the heart Of John L., feei- ing it might distract his thoughts from the business in hand, and give to Charlie Mitchell his chance to whip the American and so win tho big bets which Londonites had placed on their countryman.
 But those fellows reckoncd without one American; a criminal and fu9l~ tive from American justice, but with al staunch admirer of John L. and a man who insisted on fair play in
  man was none other than Billy Poor- ter internationally known as a bank robber and one of the most dangerous dcsperadoes in American history. Poerter, in London when the match was made had heard about the plot 1 to menace John l.. with a show of re- 1 volvers and knives at the ringstGe. 1 So he went along with the crowd that made the trip from England to France.
 l As the throng gathered around the l ringside Poerter sWaggered to A 1 place near Sullivan's corner. Wearing I a high silk hat, an overcoat of fash 1 ionable cut he made a rather striking 1 figure.
 When the fight was about to start, Poerter walked over to Pony Moore, 1 father-in-law of Mitchell, and said: I'm here to see that John l.. Sul- livan gets fair play. And here are a couple of friends" whereupon, Poer- ter took out a revolver from each overcoat pocket "who are going to support me to the absolute limit. You might tell tho Manchester men who are here to get Sullivan that if they start anything they will have 10 fin ish it with me.
 And then POerter went DaCk to Ills seat which was near Sullivan's cor ner and from that spot witnessed the contest. Word that an American was there. doubly armed and ready to sacrifice his life to see that John L. got a square deal, overawed the toughs and their plans to rush the ring were abandoned.
 It was on March 19,, 1888 that the battle was fought; biting wintry day with the turf at the outset hard and frozen. The men, stripped to the waist. suffered much from the chil- ling blasts. To add to their discom- fort. a drizzling ram set in, the frozen ground softened and the mud l clung to their shoes.
 
 As was his custom, John l.. aS- sumed the aggressive With the first
