The nuge crowd that decorated every nook in“the Garden at first overlooked Erickson when he started his running high jumps. There was 0 Progress—runners circling around the track, top-hatted officials scurrying |around and hurdlers taking practice | hops over the wooden obstacles, Grad- | ually the “huge”. got wise that some- | thing unsual wag happening around | the high jump sector.

Six feet, och by jinch the height was raised to éft. 3 jin, and it seemed the human grey- hound would finally leap over the rafterse. This feat easily won the event for the sturdy policeman. Amid & great bustle of ceremony it was an- nounced that Erickson would try for the world’s record, 6 ft. 4% in. Delay, which often proves fatal to aspiring \athletes, corralled another victim in | Eric. He became “cold” and failed to do any record ‘busting. Erickson's achievement in the Mill; rose games 18 al! thi more remarkable | when it is considered that he is an ola timer at the game. Back in 1908 he won the national junior title. The following year at Seattle he took both the national junior and senior titles, although the jump that earned the |championship ‘then was four Inches below the leap he made in the Mill- roxe games last night. 3 While Erickson is entitled to ‘pre- miler individual honors, there are sey- eral others who did brilliant work, espectally Joie Ruy, Earl Thomron, Jack Scholz, Earl Eby and Mike De- vaney. So high-class was the general competition that the United States could simply assemble winners in the different Millrose events, send them to Antwerp for *the International Olympics next August and not have to do much worying about the final result, ‘The 600-yard, a feature event on the card, went to Earl Eby, Univer- si of Pennsylvania. There were outy four starters. Dave Caldwell, Boston A. A., shot out like a projec- tile for an early lead, but the high- powered Eby quickly overbeauled him and breezed home an easy winner. His time was 1.16 2-5. Joie Ray, Chicago's famous land flyer, concentrated his efforts on the mile and a half special. Joie even- ‘ually pulled out a victory, but, mot ‘atil Harty Cuthill, Boston # A. struggled over every foot of the reute. Because of this spirited pacing ny ined in the fine time of The many Millrose A. C. rooters had a glorious chance to exercise their lungs, cow bells, sirens and other noise-producing — instruments when Mike Devaney, .2 clubmate, flashed home In the three-quarter mile event. After shaking off Homer Ba- ker, the winner had easy going and rye by @ comfortable margin. ere was fast work in the 70-: dash. A wonderful field entered thie event, every contestant being a to) Notcher. The presence of Charlie Paddock from Southern California College, who captured chief honors in the Inter-Allied meet in the Per- shing Stadium in Paris, furnished an extra feature. The event was run in heats. Four faced the starter in the final, Off with the starting gun, the four dashed down the centre of the Garden like so many flashes. The finish was so bunched that the crowd didn't know the winner until the an- nouncer barked the news that J. V. Scholz of the University of Missouri had crossed the line first. Loren Murchinson, N. Y. A. C., was second and Charlie Paddock, the E. champion, third. ‘The winner's time, 71-6 seconds, equalled the world’s mark for the distance that has stood up under all attacks since 1903, Earl Thomson, Dartmouth, demon- strated he. is one of our very best fence jumpers when he defeated a formidable field in the 70-yard low hurdles. Princeton fared best of many col- lege stars entered in the popular games. The Orange and Black put over three winners, a big feather in the cap of trainer Keene Fitzpatrick.
