DOUBLE VICTORY
FOR JACK SELLERS
Met 600 Yard Champion Wins
Half and Mile at Thir-
teenth's Games.

The Thirteenth Coast Defence Com
mand, once familiarly known as the
Thirteenth Regiment. held a most sue
cessful set OF military games in the
armory, Sumner and jefferson avenues,
Brooklyn, last night. Curiously enough
the programme contained thirteen
events, yet despite the double hoodoo
there was 2 good crowd and the COM
petitions went off with q snap.
The first cosftest to stir up interest
was an intercompany hike OF two and
three-quarter miles, and for the COM
petition the impressive squad of ninety
six men in heavy marching order and
representing twelve companies faced the
starters pistol.
After looping around one lap of the
track the side door was thrown open
and the hikers hit 1t out into the night
and covered the remainder of the jour-
ney on the streets. After working
shank's mare in the dark for 20 minutes
% seconds the Second company came
bowling into the armory winners by
comfortable margin.
The winning company hikers were
Sergt w. Il. Hawley, Sergt. A. c. Wey-
man, Corp. A. Palmer, Corp. A Fisher,
Private f. Bergman. Private A. Abra-
ham, Private w. Lamond and Private
A. Eifler. The time was a new regi-
mental record by minutes So seconds.
The old mark of 20 minutes GO seconds
had been on the books to the credit OF
the Third company since 1909.
Jack sellers in Front.
From strictly racing standpoint the
~ a. Ia
handicap, with Jack Sellers of the Fifth
company and the champion indoors, for
600 yards, on the scratch mark. For a
while first prize looked to be sure
thing for him, but Ray Dalton OF the
Sixth company. and new man at the
game, came up from nowhere and gave
the champion fierce tussle. Sellers
won by a couple of yards, but he had to
put on all steam to keep in front OF
Dalton.
Sellers scored his second victory in
the mile handicap, beating such notable
opponents as Sid Leslie, the 1,000-yard
indoof champion, and Max Bohland. the
ex-cross country champion, who now
represents the Tenth Company. The
trio kept sort of ding dong cantef
until the bell rang for the last lap, when
Sellers shot to the front, closely at
tended by Leslie and Bohland. In this
order they ran to the second last turn
where Leslie made an unsuccessful ef-
fort but Sellers spurted, stalled him OH
and sped along to win by about three
yards. Bohland was third, about ten
yards behind Leslie.
Princeton University and Brooklyn
Tech engaged in lively basketball
game, which went to the Tigers by the
score of 30 to % Dickinson and Le-
gendre, two of the star footballers, did
great work for the Nassau shooters.
