ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Fine Records Made Despite a High
Wind.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, April IL
The field day of sports or tournament of
volunteer firemen of Southern California
held at the Agricultural Park grounds
here to-day drew out moderate crowd,
probably because of the disagreeable wind
which was blowing and which caused
many to expect that the races would be OF
necessity postponed.
The records takenwere all more or less
affected by the weather and in almost
every instance would have been materi-
ally improved by even a temporary cessa-
ton of the big blow. This drawback, how
ever, makes the really good time scored in
several instances of so much greater i'm
portance. Following is the score:
