made by Alexander Jessup of New

The performance of Con c.

record breaker. He clipped a fifth
OF second off the record held by
Frank J. Shea of the University of

ance was over a straightaway, the

Sensational Burst of Speed.
One of the most remarkable races
OF the day was the victory of Earl
Johnson, negro from Camp Upton,
who won the hve-mile race from
big field in 27:22. Johnson Jagged
behind the leaders nearly the entire
distance, but in the final lap dis
played sensational burst of speed
and finished 50 yards in the lead.
The pace set was so hot that Ted
Johnson, the Denver marathoner,
was swept off his feet.

who bagged nine points by winning
the discus, finishing third in the shot
and fourth in the hammer throw

into tie for sixth place.
Stars of the army and navy and
aviation service carried off the lion S

The chilly weather and epidemic
of Spanish influenza among the

attendance down. The jackies were
under quarantine and prohibited
from witnessing the games. The
wintry weather kept the Chicagoans
and visitors from other cities at
home.
