Speciot Correspondence TO The Tribune
LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. t0.-It
remained for woman, Miss Gladys
hobinson, of Toronto, to carry off the
honors of the opening day Of the in
ternatlonal ice skating championship
meet mere to-day, by winning first
place IN two events. She thus leads all
competitors with total of so points.
IN both the 100-yard dash and the
haIt-mlie race Miss Robinson defeated
MISS Rose johnson, of Chicago, present
holder of the international title for
women skaters, which she won at the
meet last winter. Miss Johnson took
second place in both OF to-day's events
for women and has total of 40 points.
Two Brooklyn women, Miss o. Barth,
who finished third in the 10O-yard dash,
and Miss Mildred Truslaw. who finished
third in the half-miIe, have 10 points
each.
In the senior events Joe Moore, of
New York, who won the mile, is tied
with Charles Jewtraw, of Lake Placid,
national champion, with 80 points each,
Jewtraw winning the 220-yard dash in
one of the most exciting finishes of the
day. Jewtraw was doing good work in
the mile event when he was thrown as
George. Thompson, of Chicago, went
down in front of him on the back
stretch in the fourth lap.
Moore Injured in Fall
Moore received a bad bruise in the
third heat of the semi-fnals of the 220
yard dash when he stumbled over a
sideline block as he attempted to cut
in on Russell Wheeler, of Montreal, as
they swung into the homestretch. Al
though he cut his leg in this fall,
Moore later went out and finished first
in the mile event.
In the second place on points for
the day are, Charles German, of ST.
John, N. B., and William Stoinmetz, Of
Chicago, each With 20. German took
second place in the 220-yard dash and
Steinmetz finished second in the mile.
All Leitch, skating for Lake Placid,
finished third in the mile and Nc
Whorter was third in the 220-yard
cash, each getting 10 points.
Je,wtraw won the final of the 200
yard senior BY nose, crossing the
tape in whirlwind finish, with Cor
man and McWhorter in second and
third places, only inches apart. The
many friends Of the national cham
pion among the throng of 1000 per-
sons witnessing the races seemed con-
fident he would have at least finished
In second place in the mile had he
not been thrown when Thomson, Of
Chicago, fell in front of i'm.

New York, was the winner in the sec

I to take place tomorrow morning at
