Editors Daily Crimson:

DEAR SIRS-I wish to call attention to an injustice suffered by one of the competitors in the meeting of the Boston Athletic Association, the result of a mistake on the part of the judges.

In the mile walk Mr. Bardeen of Harvard had fifty seconds start, and secured a sufficient lead to render it necessary for those having a handicap of less than twenty seconds to pass him twice in order to defeat him.

At the end of the race when the positions were announced, I was a little surprised that Mr. Bardeen had not a place, as I did not remember having passed, and did not think Mr. Keating, the winner, had passed him twice; I took it for granted, however, that I had passed him without noticing the fact. After talking the matter over with some of the competitors, including Mr. Bardeen, I became convinced that he had won the race. I mentioned the matter to some of the officials, but was told that I was mistaken. At the request of Mr. Bardeen I refrained from making public my opinion until he should be able to investigate the matter more carefully. As it has now been conclusively determined that the race was won by Mr. Bardeen, I feel that it is only just that the truth of the matter should be known, and that he should receive the credit, and if possible the prize.

C. T. R. BATES.
