Leslie Half-Mile Title:
Drew Is Outclassed

The three metropolitan senior A. A.
U. championships, which were decided
last night al the games of the Bankers
Athletic League, in the 22d Regiment
Armory' were all won by athletes from
the New York A. c. Jack Sellers, who
won the .6l0-yard metropolitan cham
pionship less than two weeks ago, car
rled the winged foot to victory in the
SS0-yard run; Bernie Wefers jr.,
yard dash while Eddie Emes was
victor in the standing high Jump.
Sellers was fortunate in winning the
half-mile race. Had Sid Leslie, who
finished second, not stumbled rounding
the last turn in the sprint to the tape,
he probably would have beaten the New
York A. c. star. Nine runners faced
the starter in this event.
AT the crack of the gun Clarence
Sherman, of the st. Christopher Club,
shot into the lead and held it for one
lap when Willie Kelly, OF the Knights
( OF St. Antony, blazed to the front.
| nelly, however, set slow pace, and on
the next lap Sellers took the lead. with
Leslie at his heels.
| On the bell lap this speedy pair drew
away from the rest Of the field. Com
ing around the last turn, Leslie, who
| appeared to be running stronger than
Sellers, attempted to pass the New York
man but stumbled. He lost his balance
and also several yards and missed
catching the champion at the tape only
by few inches.
Eddie Emes, former Bronx Church
House jumper, made a successful re-
turn to the game after forced sus-
pension of three years. He cleared
the bar in the standing high jump
inn has
than his nearest rival.
The only opposition Bernie Wefers jr.
had in the 220yard dash was from
Ed Farrell, the Brooklyn College star,
Wefers won handily by about three
yards. Howard Drew, the sensational
colored runner. who is attempting a
comeback, finished fourth.
