Phil Edwards, international tar and captain elect of the New York University track team, performed the unusual feat last Saturday evening of winning two races, one in uptown Manhattan and the other in Brooklyn distance of some 15 cniles away. Edwards filled the first half oi his running contract at the 102nd Engineers Armory, 168th street and Broadway. by running away with the 800 nieter feature race of the Masonic benefit games. The Negro star had little competition in this event He was unchallenged from the first step to the tape and fooked more like the Edwards of a vear ago when he was unbeatable, than at any time this season. ICs time was 1 mfmtte 56 2 5 second.

Without stopping for breath, Edwards and Fred Veit, another member of New York University track team, rushed to the dressing room and ten minutes later were speeding to Brooklyn in a taxtcab to compete fa the 600 yard feature of the Norwegian Torn games at the Second Naval Battalion armory. Edwards showed remarkable ttami na by winning the 600 yard event in 1:15 1 5, a full second less than his record of the year before. Oliver Proudlock, Newark A. stgr, was second. The large group of fans at both places gave the Negro star a splen did ovation.

It was a thrilling fray which pitched an atmosphere of tenseness that wa only fliftwd when the timers gun fired and allowed, the surplus energy of the spectators to go up in the form of yells, screaming and shouts, both teams knew that victory after such a game would send cither's stock sky (high in the market.

Fully three minutes elapsed before either team of nervous players were able to register a score. And then it was Hargrove of Hampton who made the first basket Neither group cd rooters dared to settle back in comfort for tear that the unexpected would happen. Howard, with her five man defense system and short fast passes wKen in the vicinity of their goal 'made things seem, at first sight to be in favor of the Bisons. Figures were out. of none in favor of Hampton; 3 2 in favor of Howard; and so on until the first half gun fired on the score of 7 6 in favor of the Bisons.

The Hampton five was functining well, for the exception of Bobby Cotton, who in this' emergency (failed to register a lone basket He was woefully off, his shots were short of the mark and sometimes wild. Cotton finally retired on fouls from the game in favor of Jenks Jones, a lad from the vicinity of Springfield, who out jup a stubborn fight for the balance of the came. The stars' of the Hampton five were Hargrove, in center, who pitted his skill against Howard's giant center, Simpson McGowan in guard, and Captain Cyrus Taylor, whose ability at a foul shooter gave the team needy points in the time of need. The Bison team, which for the most part was composed of tall men, did some neat and accurate passing at times. The team as a whole worked together with perfect coordination, each part on the spot at the time when he should be.

Coates, in forward, however, was by far the most outstanding mem on the team. He was written down as the high point man for Howard with ten points. Second in quality came Howard massive six foot center, who must have weighed well over two hundred. Along with speed, and size, this center was an accurate passer and stubborn fighter. The last hsU found a fighting Hampton team and aWa fighting Howard team on the floor.

It was early in the half that Captain Taylor shot a foul snd tied the score. From that point on it was Hampton in the lead, but never any more i than four points to the good. Only i two minutes to play and the score 1 22 21 in favor of Hampton.

John From The New YoVker Outside the glittering Times iiquare district, nobody knows of Uiily Fierce, but on Broadway they kiww him, revere him as a Success, and recognize him as the man who has perhaps most intiuenced the dancing ot the musical comedy stage of recent years. Me is a rags to riches hero. Born of poor but honest olorcd parents in Purcellville, Viririnia. he was next heard of wlien drafted for the army and sent San Francisco. From there he progressed rapidly to the Argoime battlefield, to become a fvrst lieuteu ant in the famous 36Vth Infantry.

Hie next fateful event in his "life was the collapse in Union Hill, Iv of a ragged, colored minstrel troupe for which he played a trombone and also took tickets at the door. That was about five years ago. Pierce spent one of his last nickels for a ferry ride to New York, having a notion to set up as instructor in stage dancing, about which he had many ideas. He succeeded in talking the owner of a building in West Forty sixth Street into giving him a small room, rent free, for a month. No one appear ing to take dancing lessons during trie month, he agreed to Become nigw elevatorman in payment for back and fntiiri! wnL Toward the end of the second month, Irene Delroy, then of the "Greenwich Village Fol lies," dropped in to ask Rim about new dance steps he had heard about him from her colored maid He instantly suggested some which she liked, and which later were a success in her show.

Although he had. after hesitation, suggested two dollars as his price, Miss Delroy gave him somewhat more. Shortly thereafter Pierce began to get plenty of business, and since he has taught dances to many stars of the legitimate theatre, including John Barrymore. He worked out the dance business in ''Broadway" and taught Lee Tracy, the star of that piece, how to act like a nooier. 11 is wun musicai comruy however, that his work is considered significant He has schooled hundreds of them.

The Sugar Foot Strut danced by Miss Ada May in "Rio Rita" is credited to him, as is the Varsity Drar of Zclma O'Neal la "Good News."
