the sensations Of the day had been
sprung, the slender Bill Stevenson, for
merly Of Princeton University, but now
A. c.. won his first national title in
new championship figures. The Winged
Foot representative, who won the Met
ropolitan Senior title in record time
before boarding the train for this city,
negotiated the quarter in IS 3-5 sec
onds.
Stevenson ran a superb race. He
won handily and had the honor Of clip
ping one-fifth Of second from the

Stalwarts Defeated
1t seemed the New York athletes
surely would prove victorious until the
result of the 16-pound hammer throH
was announced. 1t was here that the
Droadwayites began to lose ground, and
SAeS never recovered. I dt Ryan, OIL Cne
Lcughlin Lyceum, New York, captured
this event, and McEachern, of the
Olympic Club, surprised the spectators
by nosing out the Olympic champion,
Mat McGrath, of the New York A. c., for
second place.
Again in the shot put the Winged
Foot representatives disappointed, for
Pat Mcdonald, the world record holder
and champion, could do no better than
finish second. Clarence Houser boost
ed the Los Angeles A. A score by beat
ing out the big New York police SER
geant.
Willie Plant, the national cham
pion, and Joe Pearman, the indoor title
holder, were among the big point get
ters for the invaders from the East.
This pair of sterling performers ran
or rather walked, one-two in the three
mile walking race. Plants time of
22:42 is considered extremely fast
He won by about ten yards over his
teammate.
Rays Terrific Pace
One of the greatest upsets of the day
came when Joie Ray successfully de-
Tended his title as the one-mile cham
pion Of America for the fourth con-
secutive time. Ray was in wonderful
form and cooked his field with ter
rife pace from the outset. Jim Con-
nelly, Of the Boston A. A., who was
didate for the Chicago youths title,
could do no better than second. Rays
time was 4:16 As.
Richmond Landon, the Olympic high
jump champion and world record
holder, was another New York Ath-
letic Club man who disappointed. Lam
don was in wretched condition and
could only finish fourth in his favorite
event to men he has beaten with ease
durins the last few months.
Alberts, the sensational Chicago A.
Jump Of 9 feet 2M inches. Murphy,
Of Notre Dame, was second, and Cary,
Of the j.. A. A. A.. was third.
HelRrich's Smart Win
The East monopolized the half-mile
the order Of finish was far from what
the experts had figured it would be-
Young Alien Helffrich, the Penn
State freshman, competing under the
colors Of the N. Y. A. c., was the
winner; Larry Brown. the intercolle-
giate champion and record holder, who
competed for the Meadowbrook Club Of
ney, Of the Millrose A. A., New York
was third, and Tom Campbell, Yale,
was fourth.
Helffrich kept pace with his veteran
opponents in the early running, but
when Brown "went out" at the halfway
mark he hung at the heels Of the Penn
syivania flyer and this pair soon opened
q lead on Campbell and Devanney.
Brown set q terrific pace and hugging
the pole. carried the New York A. C.
man down the home stretch at killing
pace.
Nearing the finish line, Helffrich chal-
lenged Brown, and when the latter fall
tered the newcomer to the ranks of
champions shot to the front to win by
about threa feet. Campbell cracked
under the strain, just as he did in the
Intercollegiate at Boston last May, and
Devanney had no trouble taking tho
place. The time was ia As.
