record. The Junior high school divi.
sion is a new one in the city educa'
tional system. Because OF the fact
that the older boys and the higher
! classes have been taken from the ele-
mentary schools and made part OF the
junior high schools none of the ele-
mentary records were broken.
The youngsters who competed for the
elementary title were far younger than
the average OF the past. so 1t was
rather unfair to compare their perform
ances with the records Of the past The

elementary record book in order to pro-
vide for the fact that the older boys
now are IN the Junior high division.
No. 81 Wins Junior.

many a title while It was member OF
the elementary school section. AS for
81, 1t, too, had won trophies In ele-
| mentary competition, and II had hoped
| for success in its new company.
The p. 8. A. L. officials credited one
| Of the Junior high winners with par
ticularly new record. That came in the
so yard dash. 100 pound class Eisen-
berg of No. "a. Manhattan. won the
event In $40 seconds. which was 2-1o
of a second better than the best pre-
vious mark on the league books. The
old mark was made by an elementary
schoolboy In 1918.
! The all Gay carnival was coiorful,
highly interesting. replete with record
breaking performances. The succession
| of new marks In the high school cham
| pionships startled the onlookers In the
| stands and startled the expert officials
| as well. They had not looked for any
thing like that but the extremely fast
| track, the hot weather, the intense
rivalry and the incentive Of unusually
| fine prizes all combined to make the old
| marks fall.
Five Watches Agree.
| Hussey's fine 100" was a remarkable
performance indeed. There were five
watches on the Stuyvesant Streak wher
| he took his mark for the 100 yard final
| The timepieces were In the hands OF
such experts as Capt. Charley Dieges
Mort Bishop, John j. Dolan. Charley
Hatfield and William w. Cohen. These
men have timed many great A. A. U
championship event-the best OF the
| timers of the world.
Hussey was off his mark like shot
away to good lead and going at a
clip which presaged a record. At the
| fifty yard mark he was three yards
| to the good. with Gollobin of Clinton
second. It was a hot race. and the
| big stand rocked as Stuyvesant ano
| Clinton We'd in cheering for their
favorites. 1t was apparent that to Hus-
sey was to go the victory and the in
terest in his time was so great that as
he broke the worsted there was ter
rifle din as the youngsters howled for
the figures.
AS Hussey crossed the line winner
by six yards over Gollobin and the
timers caught his performance they
| looked at each other in amazement
"Say. I've got 1910 seconds" said
Bishop. as IL in doubt as to whether
he was seeing things right
well. that's what / have here. and
that's what the young man did," smiled
! Capt. Dieges. That's what I have
| all had got him at 8 9-l0 seconds. ant
| one timer caught him at $40 seconds
| But this watch was not an official one
| AS Hussey, scarcely breathing hard
went off the track into the infield he
received an ovation such as had come
| to no other high school champion be-
| fore him. All partisanship. all rivalries
were forgotten by the youngsters as
| they paid their tribute to this new
streak and thanked him for the glors
which he reflected on the entire high
school organization of the great city
Husseys record was announced as a
worlds mark for a schoolboy, but II
was not quite that. The best that can
\ bs said for IL is that IL sets new record
for the high and preparatory schools of
this section. A few scholastic sprinters
| ir the East and West have done As
seconds, only lilo of second better
than the Hussey performance.
However Hussey may claim one un-
| disputed honor. He is the youngest
sprinter to do better than "evens" for
the century. The blond youth was IL
| last February and he has another year
| in Stuyvesant. When he grows up he
ought to be quite a runner. and he's
close to the best we have in these United
| States right now. With a little expe-
| .ience he will be hummer.
| Figueroa went through the afternoon
| like an all around champion. He starred
| in interscholastic competition all through
| the spring, and he shone brighter than
ever yesterday In his quest OF three
New York HERALD gold medals. He got
| two and silver one. and felt satisfied.
IT was beaten. but II took n new record
to beat me-" the negro smiled with one
