C. A. A. A. A. | championship games held here. Hahn's performance smashed to smithereens the 24-year-old indoor mark of 1:543%5, made on March 19,/ 1904, at Buffalo, N. Y.

Dr. Peltzer, the German champion, was a spectator tonight as Hahn cir- cled the fast intercollegiate track four times in probably the greatest race of his_career. | Hahn had two opponents in his spe- cial attack on time, but he ran the last three laps virtually alone, after | Sam Martin of the Boston A.

Hahn in Rare Form. Hahn surpassed Parson's mark in his first race this Winter, in Brooklyn, but it was not allowed because the track failed to have the required inside border. The sturdy Nebraskan was fit as a racehorse tonight. His clubmate, Martin, was in the race simply to fur- nish early pace and he did it by step- ping the first 220 yards in 26 1-5 sec- | onds. Martin dropped back shortly |afterward as Hahn, his swift pace un- checked, shot to the front. While {the crowd of 6,000 stood and cheered, | Hahn steadily widened the gap between ! himself and Martin as he scored his | finishing thrust against time. “It was an easy race,” said Hahn afterward. “I felt as fresh as a daisy |afterward. I knew the track was lightning fast and feit I could get that record.” Hahn's furlong times, after taking the lead from Martin, were 54 1-5 sec- | onds for the quarter, 1:22 for 660 yards and 1:51 2-5 for the half.

Soorta Editor. The Star. AMPA, Fla., March 3.—According to no less "‘an authority than Clark Calvin Griffith the meas. ure of success to which the | Washington club attains this | year depends on the form shown by a rather ancient man, as ball players ;rr reckoned, to wit—Edgar Charles ce.

Mr. Griffith, who has been identified with the National pastime for more than three decades in the capacities first of pitcher, then manager and | finally president, the latter of which offices he now fills with the Nationals, may be conceded to know a thing or| two about the diamond sport, and it is | his firm conviction expressed today that divided between two squads, marke: today's toil for the Nationals, and w#iit a sun warm enough to offset some- what chilly breeze the athletes got ir some beneficial licks to tide them over the day of rest set for tomorrow. All of the pitchers with the excep- tion of Marberry and Braxton were drafted for hill duty in batting prac- tice, these, having reported later than the others, being excused in line witr the policy to let the veterans round into shape gradually. Of course, Hadley, on his hospital cot, and Jones, en route from his Ohio home, were absent, but the others formed a procession to the hill and labored for about 10 minutes apiece in providing targets for hitters, and at the conclusion of the day Trainer Martin asserted they were all in fine shape.
