was the victor In both races for the
womens title, and Arthur Barnett. a
local schoolboy, scored two firsts in
winning the Junior championship.
Seven other skaters divided the re-
manning points in the senior events.
Mike Mclaughlin and Henry Neibuhr Of
the fremont Skating Club, Charles
Schmidt of the Peerless Club, Robert
Grasing and Rudolph Zimmerman Of
|I1nglewood, each with 90 points, and
Samuel Goldberg of the fremont Skating
Club and Duncan McCool of Dyckman

In Trout All the way.
I-eitch followed the pacemakers in
every event but one. In the half mile
he dashed out at the crack of the gun
and opened up ten yard lead while
the rest of the field jockeyed for posi-
lion on the inside Of the go yard course.
Racing alone at fast clip, Leitch drew
away from the others and flashed across
the tape 35 yards in the van. His time
cf minute 26 seconds is two-fifths of
a second slower than the time which
won the International race at Lake Sara
nae last week, but the ice was far in
fcrior. Tn a jam on the last turn Nei-

while leading and Grasing followed
Leitch in.
In the 440 yard eveat Mclaughlin led
from the start until twenty-five yards
from home, when Leitch streaked past
him and won by five yards. The same
tactics by Leitch prevailed in the two
and Eve mile championships. Allowing
Neibuhr and Schmidt to show the way
in tho longer race for a greater part of
the forty laps, Leitch swung along in
third position until 100 yards of the
bell lap was covered when he skated
around his rivals as if they were stand
ing still. .aI
lie gave handicaps UP to a full lap in
the special event and caught the leaders
on the fifteenth turn. From then on 1t
was q foregone conclusion that he woulo
win. ''Ised,'- McCool started q wild
spurt for the last three laps. but Leitch

Wins just mt Tape.
Miss Muller won handily in both
won1ens events. AS usual she followed
the style of Leitch, trailing the field
until the homestretch, but when she
attempted to pass Miss Charlotte Eisen-
hauser, newcomer, in the half mile
she found she had started her squirt al
most too late. Elsie allowed Miss
Icisenhauser to gain lead of ten yards
and had to skate her fastest to; catch
her just OF the tape.
Local high school stars monopolized
the places in the junior races. Arthur
Barnett OF the High School of Com
merce won the quarter mile and half
mile without being hard pressed. Louis
Alpern OF Morris took second, In each
case five yards behind Barnett. while
Samuel Rein Of Stuyvesant, p. s. A. l..
mile champion. placed third in one and
Watson Gee OF Newburgh in the other.
