SPHINTEE ABROAD.
How Duffey Beat the Pistol at Welch
Meeting.
New York Mall and Express.
Arthur Duffey, the crack sprinter, had
many stirring experiences during his re
cent trip abroad. His story of how he
won n uninterrupted string of victories
against the best short-distance runners
of. Europe is interesting. On one occa
sion he captured a seemingly hopeless
handicap by "beating" the pistol of a
nervous- starter. Though Duffey .admits
the" action . a little unsportsmanlike, he
gives as an excuse that he was pitted
against manifestly unfair allowed di
stances and competing against a rough
crowd of athletes.
"When he left Glasgow he went to Pon
typriod. "Wales, where he was to run
on the following Monday afternoon. Ow
ing to his fatigue at the end of the
Journey, he decided that he would com
pete only in the Welsh championship;
but when he arrived at the place or com
petition rumors were afloat that the co
bles were going to bring down a runner
more fleet than even Mercury, and would
defeat all the vlsting champions.
It was with little difficulty that Duffey
defeated Wadsley, the English champion.
and Lundle, the "Welshman, by more
than two yards, in the time of nine and
four-fifths seconds. In this race the
American was disappointed in not hav
ing the new wonder to compete against,
but found that he was saving himself
for the handicap race. As Duffey was
still in fine form, he made up hj3 mind
to try conclusions with the mining chap
in the open race. Each -won his heat and
semi-final, the "Welshman "winning his
handily, while Duffey. beginning to feel
the effects of his long journey and the
previous heat, had to be content with
snatching victory in the last few strides.
Duffey was completely played out after
the fourth sprint, and when he retired to
the dressing-room he realized that he was
totally unfit to meet his rival In the final
heat. The "Welshman seemed to have
noticed Duffey's wearied condition and
became confident. As the American
felt It would be to his disadvantage to
race, he proceeded .to obtain permission
from the officials to stand down. Imme
diately it spread around ' the excited
crowd of rough miners that Duffey was
afraid to meet their champion, and they
jeered and rebuked him in a most an
noying manner.
The crowd was a most "unsympathetic
one, so that Duffey was practically driven
to race, but he insisted on a long rest.
After the .various other events had been
decided, Duffey came upon the track
feeling rather weak, and it dawned upon
him of a sudden that it would be impos
sible to win under ordinary circum
stances, and with the stinging insults of
the bystanders and the thoughts of a
large handicap which he was forced to
concede, his only chanbe was to resort
to a little strategy with the rather Irri
table and excitable starter.
As the American inquired from him
how he proposed to start the race, the
nervousness, of the official became more
apparent. Duffey -cautiously crouched
against the line, and as the words "get.
ready" lingered on the lips of the starter.
Duffey sprang forward amd. pawed. tke
"Welsh runner just as the starting shot
was fired. The bystanders were taken
aback, but the Welsh sprinter was game,
and stuck to his task, keeping neck and
neck with Duffey. The result was that
Duffey made up the handicap which he
conceded, and broke the tape a scant yard
in front of his opponent. That night Duf
fey set out for Abergavenny with two
prizes' under his arm and a happy look on
his face. Duffey confesses that it was
unsportsmanlike, but says he thought he
was justified in doing the "stunt"
