Leading field OF three from star4 to
finish, Joie Fay, OF the Illinois A. c.
made 4 runaway affair OF the special
3,00o-nn eter race which featured the
card at the games of the Samaclar A. A.
in the 22d Regiment Armory last night
MAX Bohland, the locsl two-miic cham
pion. running unattached, was second,
three-quarters Of lap behind the Chi
cago taxi driver, and Bramhall French.
also Of the |. A. c. was q poor third.
In compliance with popular demand.
Ray announced that he would attempt
TO shatter the record made in 1911 by
George Ronhag. when the latter nego-
Gated the distance in minutes 35 sec
onds, but Joie fell short of this mark
by seven and four fifth seconds, his
time being SAB As. The national
mark, finishing in 9:2o As. Ray holds
the two-mile indoor record OF ell 3-5.
Possibly had the Illinois A. c. star
been in faster company he would have
made far better time, but as it was
neither Bohland nor the highly toutcd
French could keep The sensational
Wcsterner warm. Rohland hung on
20 Rays carly pace. but soon cracked
and fell back out of it French showed
carry speed, passing boriano on inc
sixth lap, but Max stuck to his knit
ing and overhauled French three laps
farther OF, when the latter tired badly.
French Disappointment
About 5000 persons witnessed the
race. French came on from the West
at the request of Ray who said that
he knew of no other athlete who could
give him hard race. Thus, grea-
things were expected of French. who
disappointed the crowd Ray, how
ever, is q great favoritc, and even
though he was running al alone out in
front the spectators were enthusiastic
IN their applause.
The l1J0-yard scratch invitation
did the long affair. and here again tho
victory was popular one, for "Hal"
Cutblll, o. the Boston a A, defeated
fine field in this race Sid Leslie, Of
the Now York A c.. led at the outset
and carried Cutbill and Mike Devanney,
of the Millrosc A. A., along at q fast
clip Tor the first lap. The "Flying
Parson" jumped Leslie on the next lap
and threatened to win handily, but
Leslie made great race of it By com
ing on again and going into the lead,

finishing sprint md won by about two
yards Ieslios fine effort took all he
had and Cutbill won breezins. Dc

Loren Murch son, 7o-yard indoor

fast, but went wide on the first turn
where Murchison took the lead.
Wefers was cutting down Murchisou'a
advantage near the end. The latter
won by two yards, Jake priseoll, OF
Boston College, being q poor third
McAIlister's Fine Dash
Bob" McAllister. policeman, who
represents the Glencoe A c., and who
has been knocking a. the door OF fame
for several weeks came into his own
in the 100 yard Metropolitan cham
pionship. Rob, after his usual slow
start showed q great dash OF speed
and won by more than three yards
from Bernie Wefers, the defending
champion Thornton Wood, of the St
Christopher Club was third
McAllister negotiated the distance in
ten seconds flat, which is new record
record will be allowed. for only two
timers we're on the job. The laxity Of
the officials will thus probably cost Nc
Allistcr marx, which IS the ambition
of all athletes
