JOE RAY Is FIRST
IN ONE MILE RUN
Covers Distance in 4;19 at
Fall Games Of N. Y, A. G. at
Trayers Island.

Joie Ray OF the Illinois A. c. and ma
tional one mile champion, ran fast
race in wir.ning the one mile invitation
handicap event at the annual fall games
OF the New York A. c. at Travers ISL
and yesterday. but he failed by several
seconds in his attempt TO break a rec
ord. He was timed In 4 10 flat and but
for his lack OF speed on the last lap
would have done much better.
The race lost much of its interest
when Walter Higgins Of Columbia the
other scratch man, was placed In an
other section Of the race. On account
of the great number OF entries II was
decided TO run the race In two sections
and the two-scratch men were drawn
for different heats. Higgins finished
second TO Thomas Cavanaugh, who had
a sixty-five yard handicap.
At the start Willie Deegan Of the ST.
Anselm's A. G. set out at a dizzy pace
and showed the way for the first half
mile. Ray seemed running on schedule
In his effort to break record. He raced
the first quarter mile In 0:5S flat and
was gaining rapidly on the rest OF the
field Ray stuck to the pace for the
greater part Of the second quarter mile
and was clocked in 2:04 for the half mile.
AS Deegan entered upon the third lap
he seemed to weaken and gradually
dropped back until 100 yards further
Ray had passed him and gone into the
| lead, closely followed by w. "a. Ritter
OF the Meadowbrook Club Of Philadel-
phia. Rays time at the three-quarter
mile post was 3:11 2-5.
Entering the last lap, with Ritter still
at his heels, Ray appeared to have
gained new life and increased his speed
Tor the first half Of the final lap He
then faltered badly and practically stag
gered through the remainder Of the
race, winning by five yards from Rit-
ter. who was ten yards in front Of w.
Larson Of the Swedish American a. g.
Whatever chances Ray had Of breaking
the record he killed In the first quarter
when he travelled the distance IN 5s
| seconds. The summaries:
