YORK, Feb. 25.-Capt. James E.

victorious Comeback" in the Mill
rose 600, which was one of the
many invitation races on the pro-
gram OF the Millrose Athletic As
soclation in it's annual track and
field carnival.
Inc famous runner who up to

with Its sensational haH-mile ef-
lofts, hnisned third. he was led

scnting the Boston A A, the win

The victory of Caldwell stunned

the final twenty yards by a whirl-
wind finish as his two other rivals
were faltering. Cornelius Shaugh-
messy. knights of st. Anthony.
holder OF both the Junior and senior
outdoor 44O-yard championship
titles. was a distant fourth.
Capt Meredith was not the ire
sistible speed demon of old. From
the very moment he went off his
mark he did not APPEAR to possess
his former speed. 1t seemed as il
years work on the battlefelds OF
France as an aviator had robbed
him Of his skill. AS early as the
44O-yard mark it looked as If he was
leg weary. 1t became more evident
as he continued on.
The opening of the race was de-
layed a few moments owing to two
false starts by Shaughnessy in his
eagerness to get off his mark. When
the field finally got away, Capt.
Meredith leaped into the van, with
Homer Baker second. Campbell
third. Caldwell fourth and Shaugh-
messy fifth. Bakers roOters, and
there were thousands, were dismay-
ed. when their favorite stumbled
less than fifteen yards after the
start. momentarily knocking Camp
bell out of his stride.
Loren Murchison. Of the ST.
Louis Athletic Association, the sprint
Ing sensation of last year. duplicated
his speedy running in winning two
20 yard dashes at the Millrose, a car
nival held in Madison Square Garden
last night.
Both his victories were mainly due
to his ability TO get off his starting
mark with lightning speed. In the
yard invitation event. MuChison
jumped his field at the start and held
it throughout to win by half a foot
from Bernie Wefers. jr., New York
A. c. who held second place all the
way. Wingate Rollins, Mass. Tech,
and Lieut.. Roy Morse, unattached,
finished as named, inches apart for
third honors.
The st. Louis marvel displayed his
true speed in the handicap race.
Muchison again getting of quickly
gradually picked up his field to come
abreast of the leaders at 60 yards, and
to finally win by inches. Joseph
Rainey. Meadowbrook Club, PhiladeI-
phia, ran impressively, in gaining sec
ond place.
The Millrose A. A. relay team ad-
mnistered another defeat TO the
Meadowbrook club of Philadelphia in
their one-mile special event. Fred
Safarowic went into the lead for the
locals squad. and his MiIlrose match
maintained the lead thereafter to win
by 20 yards.
