.PARSON' DEFEATS RAY

BUFFALO, Feb. 1.-Two American
indoor records were equaled at the
senior indoor championships of the
Amateur Athletic Union here tonight.
Loren Murchison, the noted sprinter
of the Illinois Athletic Club, won the
sixty yard dash in the record time Of
6 2-5 seconds, and Harold Cutbill, the
Flying Parson," of the Boston Ath-
letic Association, equaled the old
championship and American figures
in the 1000 yard event by covering the
distance in 2:132-5.
Murchison ran one OF the best races
in his career His opponents were the
fastest in the country and his victory
was sensational one.
Cutbll ran to his best form. while Ray
seemed to lack the jump which made
him famous in track and field circles for
several years
few minutes later new American
mark was established when Allen Wood
ring Of Syracuse University won the
300 yard race in 81 1-5 seconds. Among
those he left behind him in this race were
Murchison and Bernie WeCers. Murch-
ison ran a sterling race, but it was plain
that his efforts in the sixty yard dash
had sapped some of his strength and
speed.
To see the contests one OF the largest
crowds that ever attended an athletic
meet in this city was present. The big
drill hall OF the 174th Regiment was
taxed to capacity.
The entries for the meet included a
Eoodly number of the topnotchers from
the track and field teams OF Eastern
colleges and athletic associations and
the middle West was represented by
jumpers and middle distance runners
from the Illinois A. C..
In the 500 yard event Sidney Leslie.
the veteran middle distance runner OF
the New York A. c.. led home high
class field. He showed traces Of the
form that earned him fame half dozen
years ago and won handily. Melvin J.
Suttner Of Syracuse University was Sec
and and Allen :. Monte. another SYRIA
