MCLEAN WINS GIFT AT QUEANBEYAN
The Canberra Times
15 March 1948
Having only his second start in professional ranks, J. McLean of Bowral, won the Queanbeyan Gift of £105 at the Queanbeyan Diggers' Athletic Carnival at the showground on Saturday night.
Tom Carney, of Sydney, was second. He led for 100 yards, but a desperate finish by McLean gave him victory by two yards.
Carney won the Monaro sprint of £25.
The attendance of about 400 at the evening session-was disappointing. Bookmakers did not operate on the events.
