| Shaughnessey broke at the start and
was penaliEed three yards. On the seq
ond attempt the Brooklyn sailor again
broke. In the third attempt to get the
men away Starter John McHugh was
successful. and the four that started even
raced abreast for the turn, with Shaugh-
Messy following. In the wild scramble
for the turn Baker stumbled and
plunged headlong to the boards. Homer
almost carried Campbell with him, but
the young Chicagoan escaped a spill by
| leaping over Baker
Heading into the straightaway Mere
dith was leading. with Campbell, Cald-
well and Shaughnessey following. Foxy
Old Ted. pounds overweight from lack
OF training, attempted to slow down the
pace once he got In front. but Camp
bell would not let him. Tom opened up
and passed Ted. The veteran stuck like
n burr, however, and on the third lap
| made a desperate attempt to wrest the
lead away from the National title holder
For full lap Meredith gave a desper-
ATE chase to Campbell. Meredith fought
| like bulldog to pass him. They were
almost neck and neck when they
ewooped the last turn and headed into
the straightaway. with Caldwell five
yards back and apparently out of 1t as
| 1ar as hrst place was concerned.
Down the last straightaway raced Ted
ana tommy, with the Garden in an up
roar over Meredith's stout hearted at
| tempt to conquer the sensational young
Westerner All eyes were on the two
| leaders. Suddenly like bolt from the
! blue streak Of white flashed UP from
the ruck. 1t was old Davy Caldwell.
With only ten yards to go his finishing
sprint carried him upon even terms
with Meredith and Campbell
! Wanamaker Trophy for Ray.
In the final drive for the worsted the
| Bay State man won by an eyelash from
Campbell. who in turn barely nosed out
Meredith. The time, .16 2-5 was truly
remarkable for the new garden floor.
which has little Of the spring and resili-
ency that was possessed by the old floor.
The veteran Meredith by his lion hearted
oattnns almost was as great in defeat
as was Caldwell in victory.
The Rodman wanamaker mile and a
half special was a romp for the great
/ Joie Ray. who captured his third and
deciding leg on the handsome trophy. As
\ rar as first place was concerned Il was
| not race. for Ray outclassed the field
He won by 90 yards in the corkins time

behind the worlds indoor record of
GAS 3-5, which Ray made in defeating
the late Lieut.. John Overton OF Yale in
the Millrose classic two years ago
