strides to win by foot from All II.

Sellers's performance was a meri-
torious one. as he was forced TO con-
tend with the unwieldy field of twenty
two runners on the small floor. How
ever, he ran steadily from the start TO
pull UP into third position beginning
the final lap. He then heightened his
place, was a yard back of Dolder at
the last turn. Sellers sprinted the
harder and, catching Dolder, beat him
on the brink of the finish line. A. Z.
Roesch, clubmate of Dolder, was
seven yards back.
The medley relay race resulted in the
disqualification of the Paulst A. c.
team, the winners, when Harry Gun
nlngham, its anchor runner, dropped
the baton from his hands. First place
was then awarded to the Brooklyn A.
A, with the New York A. c. second
and the Morningside A. c. third. After
the prizes had been awarded Bernie
