BAKERS HEADWORK
WINS FEDERALRACE
Defeats DriscOll in Invitation
Half-Mile by Margin
Of 4 Yards.

The Federal Reserve Club occupied the
Fourteenth Regiment Armory, Brooklyn.
last night with an attractive programme
Of athletic events. BY far the most Inn
portant number was the half-mile invi-
tation with James w. Driscoll Of Boston
College as the leading personality. As
far as his running was concerned II was
a disappointment, for when he set sail
for Homer Baker, the leader. the Bos-
tonian was too far In the rucK and he
lost to Baker by four yards.
II was the hest exhibition Of head
work displayed by Baker in long time.
Almost from the start he was up with
the front brigade, so that when the gun
cracked for the last lap he was in a cap
ual position for squirt. This he made
and found himself In front one hundred
yards from home. with Driscoll in hot
pursuit On the home stretch Baker
had a lead Of a dozen yards on the Bos-
tonian, which crumbled to about four
yards as he shot by the post The time
OF 1853 4-5 seconds was the best seen
on the track in years.
More than ordinary interest was
aroused by the appearance Of Walter f.
Kappish Of the Slxty-hfth Artillery OF
Buffalo in the $50 yard Military Ath-
letlc League handicap. Herstarted from
scratch, but managed to work through
the field in excellent style and won a
well earned victory by couple Of
yards. Kappish. II will Be remembered
made one OF the relay team which set
up new figures In the medley relay.
