For their efforts in saving the
drowning women. Lynch and
his fellow ofiicer, Aubrey w.
Martin. were cited as "ofiicers
Of the month" in August Of
1856.
Earlier that same year,
Lynch. who played football In
the Marine Corps. distinguished
himself by making q flying
tackle to apprehend the culprit
who had stolen the cab.
The latter incident occurred
in February in the Northeast
section Of the city, where Lynch
was directing traffic. John
glanced at the driver Of the
taxi. who attempted to make
an abrupt U-turn and stalled.
Curious as TO why a police
stare should stir this reaction,
Lynch walked TO the cab and
opened the door on the drivers
side. The driver scooted out

De|any, Takes
Mile in 4:1O,
Hungarian I'd

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.R)-
Ron Delany outsprinted Istvan
Rozsavolgyi of Hungary tonight
and won the Baxter Mile in a
slow 4:10 in the New York AtI :
letic Club Games in Madison
Square Garden.
1t was Delany's 23d indoor
victory in a row and goth in the
mile and it was perhaps his
strangest. 1t also was the slow
est of the year.
1t was a tactical race all the
way. Rozsavolgyi, the world
record holder at the 1000,
$500 and 1000 meters, who ar
rived here only Thursday, tried
to steal the race by outsprint-
ing Delany at the end.
Like everyone who has tried
it before him. he failed.
Delany's margin was four
yards. Rozsavolgyi, in turn,
was four yards in front Of Jim
Grelle of the University Of Ore
gon. Burr Grim of Maryland
was fourth and Peter Close of
st. Johns finished fifth.
Delany Takes Lead
The crowd Of about $4,000
was treated to the almost UNI
believable sight of Delany
whipping into the lead at the
start and staying right there
through the first two laps. AS
they hit the quarter, Rosa
volgyi took over and was
caught in COL seconds.
The pace almost slowed to a
crawl after that with almost
everyone watching everyone
else. Delany was in the lead
again when the pack hit the
half in 2:06.7. and from then
it was just q question of who
could out jockey whom.
Rozsavolgyi, who was run
ming his first race on boards,
swung wide twice and on one
occasion collided slightly with
another runner. BY this time
1t was apparent that he had
decided to try to outsprint De-
lany at the end, The field was
fairly well packed at the three
quarter mark which Delany hit
in 3:11.4.
When Rozsavolgyi made his
final bid. Delany. the Olympic

Snow Strands Fans After Races
Army Called
To Help End
Truffic Jam

A crowd Of 1854 hardy fans
bet 81 ,065 .09S on the races yes
terday at Bowie. but thousands
of them could't get away from
the track for all the money in
the world.
The worst Snowstorm in the
history of the track paralyzed
the area. with the result that
Maryland State police called on
the army for help.
The track managed to get
through its 8-race program be-
fore the storm got too bad. and
for the racing itself. Knollwood
Stables Movitave won the SIS
900 Miss Maryland Stakes. the
featured attraction.
AS late as 10 pm. five hours
after the last race. 800 cars
and about 1000 persons were
still stranded. Already departed
were 1900. who boarded a 10
car Pennsylvania special relief
train from Baltimore. A second
relief train was to be made
up to rescue another 800.
Help Asked from Army
The I'd Army at nearby Fort
Meade responded to the call
from State Police. who were
using walkie-talkie radios and
jeeps to try to clear up a ire
mendous Jam around the track
and on roads leading to the
Baltimore Washington Ex-
preSsway. United States Routes
/ and SO.
A decision ON whether Bowie
would run tomorrow will be
made sometime today. but it
now appears obvious that the
track will have TO use one Of
its leeway days. Tomorrow's
card will be held over until
Tuesday if racing is impos-
sible.
Track officials served sand
wiches and coffee to the
stranded horse players.

ent Marty Meyer, who has been
at Bowie since 1t opened in

the feature race came of and
the customers saw practically

The horses had no trouble
with the snow. as harrows kept
the track fairly clear, but there
was one casualty. After the
feature race, Mellisse. a filly

for a mile and one-eighth to-
day in a smashing victory in
the $50. 400 San Antonio Handi-

Cheered on by a crowd of
$4,000, the 4-year-old Round
Table subdued eight rivals in
comparative ease in flashing
the distance with a clocking of
1:46+s. which equalled the
world record for the distance.
The crowd was in a betting
mood, sending $3,468,053

Reaffirming his stature as the

The time equalled the world
mark shared by Moor, Alidon,

Round Table did it by spotting

and winning just about when
Shoemaker asked him.

The sturdy bay son of Prince

The victory was worth $33, 300
to Round Tables owner, Travis

time earnings to $8O3, 264.
It also elevated him to the

George Washington gave

uncomfortable 80 minutes last
night before the Philadelphia

George Washington went all

with Ralph Kunze subbing for

It was a fast, interesting and
exciting ball game, with rela-
lively few fouls and only a
