managed to forge ahead. Howor..
Pores's consistent running soon ovo,
hauled them, and although Wilson rsv.

White First in l90-Yard Dash
A liberal handicap aided Pete,
White, Salem Crescent Athletic c,rp
in winning the 100-yard handicap dash
White had start of six yards ans
this advantage proved too much for
both Fred Teschner and Phil Walters
! who finished as named in his wax
Teschner was nosed out by one foo,
with Walters at the latter's heels Az
though Walters had a yard handicsn
he lost this ground when he made -
false start. This bre,.k probably COST
him first prize.
