St. Joseph Athletes
Take Championship
OF Diocesan Union
Gus Desch, Worlds Record
Holder for 44O-Yd. Hur-
dies, HelpsNewark Victory

Gus Desch, holder Of the worlds rec
ord for the quarter-mile hurdles, failed
to finish in the 300-yard handicap
closed to Diocesan Union members at
the twenty fifth annual track and field
championships of the Cathol Young
Mems Diocesan Union, held in City
Field, Newark, yesterday afternoon.
The Notre Dame man outdid him #
in an effort to catch the limit men, and
finding it impossible dropped out to
conserve his strength for the medley
relay roce, in which his efforts put the
st. Joseph Club, Newark, winners OF
the meet, in the running.
This was the second consecutive vic
tory for the St. Joseph Club, their
total number of points amounting to
twenty seven. st. Bonaventure's color
bearers of the Paterson Lyceum, the
team next in line, scored fourteen
points. Bloomfield Lyceum, a club
which in former years used to clean
up regularly, was a poor third with
eight points.
Eddie Garvey, Of St. Joseph's Club,
was the only individual starting from
scratch who won his race.
In the medley relay race William
Goodman, Paterson's half miller, who
started for the Silk City outfit, nosed
out Willie Kelly of the winning team
on the first leg Of the race, which
went a half mile. 1t was Gus Desch 4
quarter mile on the second leg, which
enabled the St. Joseph team to gain
the lead.
Dan Caprio and j. W. Haffer had a
beautiful tussle on the 220 yard leg
Of the race, with the latter nosing
Danny out by inches. Garvey took up
the last leg for the winners, running
against J. f. Gaugham, Of Paterson:
Gaugham led for the biggest part Of
the way, but when the last lap was an
nounced Garvey just broke loose and
won hands down.
