Scots Games
Provide Great
TwO-Mile Race
Tveiten Takes First Honors
at Ulmer Park After
a Hotly-Fought Contest
By lack Masters

NN~~sA~-ssA
the greatest crowd that the historic
meeting of Scots has ever attracted, and
those who fought their way to van
tage points near the .cinder circle were
amply repaid for any discomforts they
were required to suffer, for the COM
petition was first class throughout.
Of the nine track and field events the
two-mile run proved most interesting.
Not since last season have / witnessed
a more intensely gripping affair than
the field of twenty runners in this race
gave to the public. The pace was a
sizzling one, and duel after duel re-
suited as the athletes hooked up one
with another in an effort to get near
the top Of the long column.
Joe Tveiten, Pastimc A. c., who had
an advantage of 1875 yards, proved the
best Of the lot, but, due to excellent
handicappinc.-.the verdict was in doubt
until within three yards Of the finish.
The field was literally cooked when
Tveiten made his final bid from behind,
snatching victory from John Sullivan,
of the Paulist A. c., when the latter
seemed certain winner. A. Trebel, Of
the Morningside A. c., was third. The
time was 1906 rs.
Veteran Drops Out
John Sullivan, the lanky Paulist A. C.
runner, who was favored with 200
the crack of the starters pistol to with
in one lap of the finish. This lad, who
ran a great race from in front, soon
stretched the field out in struggled
formation. Nick Gianakopolous, a vet
eran athlete, now competing unattach-
ed, was an added starter, moving off
the honor mark.
Gianakopolous made fine progress in
the early stages, and at the halfway
mark was in eighth place, but few
moments later Nick left the track. He
simply could not stand the gaff.
One after the other the medal chasers
dropped into the ruck as Sullivan,
closely followed by w. johnson, Swed-
the circle at a dizzy pace, and when
the gun sounded for the final lap it
seemed certain that the Paulist boy
had his competitors at his mercy. He
was ten yards in front of Johnson,
while Tveitnen, in fourth place, was
twenty yards back of the pacemaker.
Rounding the first turn on the last
trip Tveiten began closing on Johnson.
One hundred and fifty yards from the
finish the Pastime A. c. man passed
Johnson and went after Sullivan and,
with a great rush, came upon even
terms with the leader. The pair raced
through the stretch nearly abreast
each putting every ounce of reserve
energy in that final mad dash to the
worsted. With the goal only ten yards
in front of him Sullivan cracked and
the thrilling spectacle ended a mo-
ment later.
Tie for Team Trophy
Trebel came along at terrific clip
approaching the tape, and, carrying
Gourkos with him, this pair accounted
for second and third places, while
Sullivan, who nearly collapsed at the
end, got fourth honors.
The struggle for the team trophy
resulted in a tie between the Morning
side A. C. and the Pastime A. c., each
club scoring ~ points. The st. Jo-
seph's Catholic Club, of Newark, which
was formed only recently, made an ex-
cellent showing and finished in the 1ole
Of runner-up with 10 points.
Eddie Mallick and Walter Gegan
were responsible for the high position
of the Newark boys, the former win
ming the 20 yard dash and the latter
taking the gold medal in the 1000 yard
run.
Mallick had no trouble winning the
22O, defeating M Sculrich, by ten
yards, while Gegan simply made q
show of his field in the thousand"
The Notre Dame boy Judged his pace
like veteran, and taking the lead on
the last turn pulled away from the
others to win by fifty yards. w. Sui
livan, Boys Club, was second.
Plant Is Winner
Willie Plant, the one mile national
champion, scored an easy victory In the
two-mile walk. Plant, the only scratch
man Of the day to come through, won
as he pleased, leading M. Felsete,. a
30-yard man, by twenty yards at the
finish.
