Homer Baker Finishes
Seconds. Kolehmainen
Quits in Smile Event
By A. C. Cavagnaro

Mike A. Devaney, the Millrose A. A.
star, scored another brilliant triumph
in the "Todd Half Mile," which featured
the annual athletic games of the Robins
Drydock Athletic Association held in
the 14th Regiment Armory, Brooklyn,
last night. The national champion
killed off his four other rivals by his
terrific pace, to win easily by three
yards in the good time of 1 minute
SO 35 seconds.
Tottering home. in second place was
Homer Baker, the Glencoe Athletic
Club member, who, in spite OF severe
cold, succeeded in leading home Jack
Sellers, New York Athletic Club, who
was eight yards back, in third place.
A. c. Reilly, Knights Of ST. Antony, and
Anatole Bolin, unattached, completed
the field, and captured the next two DO
sitlons as named.
Devaney never permitted an opponent
to wrest the lead from him from the
crack of the gun. For the first few
strides Sellers held the van, but De-
vaney, prohtng from his defeat in the
Brooklyn College Thousand" imme-
diately sped past Sellers. The Millrose
man then swept along at dizzy pace,
with Sellers second and Baker third,
but the latter two changed places at
the completion of the first lap.
with the ending of another circuit
Baker crent up to the side of Devaney,
and at this point the Millrose repre-
sentative displayed the true running
| that was in him. He answered Bakers
challenge with sprint that gained
him five-yard advantage. Devaney
never gave an inch during the last lap,
as Baker was calling into play all his
strength to retrieve the lost ground.
Reilly never succeeded IN moving
out of fourth position, while Bolin's
many efforts to move forward were
poorly timed as he made his endeavors
on the turns. The Swede showed his
best form this season, but he still dis
played lack Of early speed.
Hannes kolehmanen came out os
retirement again to exhibit his wares
before his shipyard workers, who were
on hand to the number Of four thou

his days as an athlete were past, as he

Dana Too Clever
For Columbia Man
In Squash Battle

Anderson Dana, Harvard Club, dis
played his best form in decisvely de-
feating Duncan Bulkley, Columbia
Club, in a sem-fnal round match of
the upper half Of the National Squash
Tennis Association championship tour
ney on the Columbia Club courts yes
terday. The victor used his terrific
speed to good advantage and won in
straight games by score of 15-2,
l5--10, 15-9.
Bulkley employed cut on his ball
, that proved exceedingly deceptive to
handle. But in the pinches the Co
lumbla man was exceedingly unsteady,
and this erratic playing found him
forfeiting apparently safe advantages
in both the second and third games
When trailing his opponent, Dana came
through with the splendid squash of
which he is capable.
John W. Appel jr, of the Harvard
Club, and Auguste J. Cordier, Yale
of the semi-final round will meet this
afternoon at o'clock. The victor will
oppose Dana for the championship in
the decisive match on Saturday after
noon.

Stickney, of ST. Louis,
Keeps Winning at Golf

PALM BEACH, Fla, Feb. l1.-Stuart
Stickney, of st. Louis, continued to-
day his brilliant play during the second
round of the South Florida champion
ship. He put A. P. Clapp, the Garden
City golfer, out, and 4. Stickney,
also the medalist, has free road to
the championship now, for the surprise
of to-day was the elimination of c. M.
Amory. winner of the Lakeworth title.
Amory lost because he was notice
ably off his game, and, allowing a little
guessing. this will place Stickney
against Hugh j. Willoughby jr., Merton
Cricket club, in the championship
round. Willoughby is an old title
holder in this tournament. and this sea-
son is going particularly strong, but he
has not distinguished himself in some
years. Willoughby is matched against

"A Dempsey, champion pugilist,
