Special Dispatch to The stor


BOSTON, Jan. 31.-Carl Joyce
OF Georgetown ran the fastest
1000 yards of his career tonight
to win the Lapham 1000 in
1:11.9 in the Boston AA Games
before 1884 at Boston Garden.
In other features of the meet,
Fred Dwyer of Villanova won his
fourth straight mile in 1902,
Nal Whitfield tied the indoor
world record with 1902 clock
ing at 900 yards and Horace
Ashenfelter won the two-mile
run with a meet record of 8:53
fiat.
Joe LaPierre, Georgetown's
other distance star running here
tonight, finished fourth in the
mile behind Fred Wilt, the FBI
runner and Don Gehrmann, for
mer Wisconsin star.
Beats Lamb by Six Yards.
Joyce, perturbed that he was
not getting another crackt a
Heinz Ulzheimer of Germany,
who beat him in the Millrose
Games half-mile last Thursday
night, steamed to a six-yard vic
tory over LaWton Lamb, former
Illinois star. Ulzheimer chose to
run in the 600. but it was not he
who pushed Whitfield to his rec
ord-tying performance.
Roscoe Browne and Reggie
Pearman of the New York Pho
neer Club were third and fourth
behind Joyce, followed by Wal
ter Molineux of Brown, who was
runnerup to DWyer in the Wan
amaker' Mile in the Millrose
meet.
Browne, former National AAU
indoor champion at the distance
and the worlds fastest 1900
meter man in 1851, jumped Joyce
with 21a laps to go and the event
was in for a whirlwind finish.
The Pioneer veteran could hold
the front end for only one lap
as Joyce pounded up the back
stretch tt take command. Lamb
took the runnerup spot by CATCH
ing Browne at the tape.
This was Joyce's second 1000
victory this season. He won in
the Philadelphia Inquirer meet
in 2:13.1 a week ago, and be-
fore that was second to Dwyer
in the Boston K. of C. meet two
weeks ago.
LaPierre'S Bid Fails.
LaPierre tried his luck in the
Hunter Mile. DWyer kept his
winning streak alive in this one
as he won by six yards over Wilt.
Gerhmann nipped LaPierre for
third and Germany's Rolf LamerS
was fifth and last.
Gerhmann changed his run
ming tactics to lead through the
first quarter in 61.2 seconds and
still was on top at the half in
2:05.8. Dwyer took over then
but had to yield to LaPierre with
31z laps to go.
Looking like he was ready to
pull real upset, LaPierre
steamed past the three-quarter
pole in 3:10.2. However, Joe was
through when Dwyer made his
final bid with two laps to go.
Wilt tried to make it close over
the last lap but the Wildcat
senior won handily.
Whitfield, who has been
threatening to break the mark
since the start of the season,
won by about three yards over
Herb Mckinley of the GranS
Street Boys Club of New York.
McKenley. himself, ran the fast
est 600 of his career, 1907, an
effort which would win most
races.
Ulzhelmer, the German VINO
created a sensation by winning
the half mile in the Millrose
Games two nights ago, lost
a shoe in a collision after he had
run less than a lap and dropped
out in the final lap.
Coasts Over Finish Line.
Whitfield held back for one
lap, then took over the lead from
McKenley and won coasting
across the finish line. Had he
been pressed he almost cer-
tainly would have smashed the
record held jointly by Hugh
