HARRIER BEATS PED
IN WALKING EVENT
Plant, National Champion,
Finishes Back Of Jackson,
Heel and Toe Recruit.

The unusual spectacle OF a harrier
beating a champion walker ;i an event
for pedestrians was witnessed at the
annual games OF the Firemen's Mutual
Benevolent Association. composed OF
members of the New York Fire Depart
ment, at Celtic Park in Long Island
City yesterday. The harrier perform
ing the novel stunt was Wilson Jack
son, representing st. Christopher s
Club. an organization composed of
negro athletes. The holder of titu-
lar pedestrian honors who Jackson
led to the tape in an exciting finish
was William Plant, winner OF the three
mile walk at the national championship
games at Los Angeles -wo weeks ago.
During the past winter Jackson was
a frequent but unsuccessful competitor
IN road and cross country runs. His
caused him to try walking.
a good estimate of official athletic
opinion of pedestrian ability is reflected
in the fact that George Matthews. the
official Handicapped of the Metropolitan
A. a. u. gave him the limit allowance
of seventy seconds in yesterdays con-
test. Matthews didn't look for Jackson
to beat Plant even with the big advan-
tage. but he turned the trick in sallant
style and was ten yards ahead Of Plant
by no means dsgraced. He started
from scratch. gave away big handicaps
to many opponents and only just failed

British Runner in Front.
Arthur Treble, a one time member Of
the Polytechnic Harriers of London.
England. who arrived in this country a
few months ago. scored an impressive
~ f,. tl.a ,>,t- l..
Because he had been out of competition
for the period of the war the handi-
capper gave him a start of 100 yards.
The Britisher made good use of his lib
eral allowance. Overhauling the limit
men after racing one mile and a half,
Treble easily held the lead thereafter
and beat w. Deeggan of St. Anselm's s
A C.. the second man. for first prize
by thirty yards. Treble Is now a men,

colors he wore In yesterdays race
John Boiling. the tallest and slim
NEST amateur runner In the United
States. earned first prize In the 1000
yard run. Boiling is feet inches tall
and big strider. He took the lead
after racing quarter Of mile and
was never headed. There were loud
cheers for Jack the Beanstalk as he
breasted the tape. Boiling seemed TO
like both the sobriquet and first prize.
The most thrilling finish Of the meet
came with the running Of the one mile
handicap relay race. 1t was a fine duel
between F. Mcnamara. anchor man of
the Yorkville Catholic Club, and ].
Wester of the Boys Club. They raced
shoulder to shoulder during the final $50

team by inches.
