Crosby Second By One Point - Brown Easily Wins 6.MiIe Race

Naugatuck, June lS--Old Jupe Pluvius furnished the keenest coTn- petition ct the New Haven Sheriffs' Field Day yesterday and won a partial victory. A varied group of track stars showed fine ability in the field events held ct Recreation field, but the heavy rain caused postponement until this evening of the 26 vaudeville acts and bathing beauty contests. In case of rain again tonight, 1t will be held to- morrow night ct 0:3O o'clock.
 Even "Tarzan" Brown, smooth running Olympic team Marathoner, bowed to the edict of Jupe, and left the grounds without even getting the handsome silver trophry, which he won when he finished first in the six.mile run from Waterbury to Recreation field here.
 Brown, small but wiry Indian with strides that ate up distance in effortless ease, finished about three blocks ahead of his nearest c0mpe- titor, Joseph Kleinman, of the Ger. man A. o. of New York city. Brown had finished before his opponent put in an appearance at the field. J. Volz also of the German A. c. finished third, the winning time be- ing 90 minutes and 47 seconds.
 Brown was besieged by the small crowd of less than 200 at the field for autographs and his fingers were numb before he finished this task.
 Tn view of the fact he is use to running 24 miles, the fact that he won so handily in the six mile run where he was forced to shorten his stride, showed his calibre as @ run ner.
 Good Time
 Although the tracks was slow due to heavy rains, some good time was turned in in the field events and there were some very close finishes.
 The crowd was impressed by the work of A. Cottell, German A. c. girl member, who flashed across the line winner by an inch in the women'S 100 yard dash, barely nos- ing out Elsa Johnson of the Mer- cury A. c. Gertrude Rolf of the German A. c. finished third with the winning time 12 seconds.
 The 440 yard women's relay was also quite exciting, being captured by the German A. c. with the sec- ond lap runner of this team, mak- ing Up Q 10 yard advantage her op. ponent had over her, and giving her teammate quite a lead. The Mer- cury A. c. team was second and the Dixwell Community house rum nerS of New York finished third,
