There were five starters in the bicycle race, among whom was Fenner, W A., who made the record of the association last year. The men rode the first half mile with Mitchell, W. A., to set the pace, Fenner trailing him, and Kimball, R. L. S., keeping close to Fenner. At the half, however, Fenner took the lead and held it to the finish. His time was 3 m. 1 45 sec. Kimball kept close to Fenner throughout the race and pushed him hard at the finish but could get nothing better than second place. Prierce...
Some interesting practice was done by Mott Haven men on Holmes field yesterday afternoon. J. P. Lee again broke the world's record for the 220 yds. low hurdle race. Fearing ran down the stretch beside the hurdles and set the pace. The time for the first half of the distance was 12 1-5 secs., and the final time 24 4-5 secs., breaking the former record, made by Lee at the intercollegiate games last year, by nine-twentieths of a second. Lee ran in beautiful form and found time to speak on the way to the time keeper...
...order named; time, 27 1-5 sec. Cook won a 220 yds. flat race in 22 2 5 sec., Fearing, with 10 yds. handicap, taking second place, F. L. Thompson third, G F. Brown fourth. S. Wells ran a quarter in 52 2-5 sec., Hawes setting the pace for the last 220 yards. R. S. Hale broke the American collegiate record for the 3 mile walk. Brackett was a fair second. The latter record was by H. H. Bemis of Harvard in 1885, and was 24 min., 14 2-5 sec. Hale's time...
...varsity nine played another good game on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon. It differed from Monday's in that our team hit the opposing pitcher unmercifully. Seven hits for a total of twelve bases in the first inning was a pace too hot to be kept up, but sixteen hits for a total of twenty five bases in six innings was not bad. After the sixth inning a new pitcher was put in for Woonsocket, and Harvard made no more hits. Bates was very effective except in the seventh inning. He was hit hard in the ankle by a tremendous drive...
...from the track. There was considerable uncertainty about this race, as Ellsworth of Yale was almost an unknown quantity. He had done well last year and it was rumored that he had had much harder training this year than ever before. Nichols and Carr set a very hot pace and Nichols plowed through the mud in the fast time of 4 min., 35 4-5 sec., taking first place. Ellsworth took second place, although Carr, who won third, made him run pretty hard for it. Lowell, who, after his fine work in the University games two weeks ago, was expected...
