UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY England’s Oxford Relay Team Wins Splendid Victory in Four- Mile Championship at Phila- Gelphia. comps use NGLAND hee wan an event, and E tt was one well worth win- ning. Jackson, the English miler and Olympic 1,800 metre cham- pion, proved his gameness in the last relay of the four-mile championship at Philadephia. (Phe officials, after @ long discus- sion, declared that Jackson had crossed the finish line a foot ahead of McCurdy, the Pesnsyivania run- ner, The race was ao close that the spectatora couldn't see that foot. It looked like a dead heat to many, and some thought McCurdy had won. Jackson is built like a greyhound, extraordinarily long and thin. When McCurdy started that last mile twelve yards in the lead the Englishman ‘went after him to mmke up the dif- ference at once. It moked as if he'd easily be able to run away from the ttle fellow, whose head didn’t reach to Jackson's shoulder. ‘When he caught McCurdy, Jackson ran along right at his elbow, letting McCurdy make the pace. He was relying upon his eprinting ability. But in the last lap, when Jackson ‘tried to sprint past the fying Penn- syivanian, he found that he had made @ alight miscalculation. ois wale peased.
