The following from the Bangor News
is quite come down from the loud talk
it made at the time of that faulty dec.s-
ionswhich temporarily deprived this Port
land High School Athletic team Of their
| rights.
AS announced in Mondays News, the
referees specially appointed by the Ban
gor and Portland High schools to dhoide
upon the dispute between these set ools
| regarding the disposition Of the cham
pionship cup of the M. I. s. A. A., has
made decision, which gives the cup to
Portland.
| The disposition, it will be remem be red,
L
hung on the event of throwing the ham,
school man, by a second measurerknt.s
was claimed to ave made n throw OF 90
feet, inches. The decision recognizes
the first measurement of "a feet. inches.
as the correct one, thus giving the cup to
Portland.
Following is the decision:
To Mr. Frank Hewins, President of
Maine Intersch elastic Athletic Assocla-
ton, Augusta, Me.
The undersigned referees appointed by
agreement of parties to decide the ques-
ton of the distance that A. j. Corners
of Bangor threw the 10 pound hammer at
the annual championship CO ntest of the
Maine Inerscholastio Athletic Association
held at Bangor, June 1, 1895, said referes
being selected as follows: Mr. Freeman
by the Bangor Athletic Association, Mr..
Mason by the Portland Athletic ASso Uia-
ton. and Mr.. Cornish by the other two
referees, having notified and met the par
ties on April TO- 1895, and having heard
their several allegations, proofs and ar
gumonts, and having given both parties
an opportunity to submit their evidence
prior to this 10th day of May. A. D. 1896,
and having duly considered the same,
q.
Corners threw the hammer the distance
Of "a feet, inches, and this is our final
award and determination.
Date d this 10th day of May, 1S9.
(Signed) Leslie G. Cornish. e. Dudley
Freeman, John E. Mason, rsfeeres.
The decision merely gives Portland pos
session of the cup for one year, us though
they had won the championship once
I'll
session, Bangor's claim is thought to
have been we'll founded, but important
testimony bearing upon the hammer
throw was lacking, two " itn esses being
absent.
At the annual field day at Waterville
today it il cxpec ted that several Of the
Colby records will be broken. The in
terest in track athletics has been greatly
increased since the visit of tine two train
ers, land also by tho offer of the Shannon
thletic cup to the class winning the
most points.
In the dashes. c. FL. Whitman, 81 of
Bangor is easily the best man of the
field. He has brought his record down
to 10 3-5s in the 100 yards, which is Bow
USSU lUr c1du W4olih LOB
Of the time made at Worcester. His time
in the s20-y yard dash is "A 2-5s.
In the hurdles A. L. Holmes, '9S of
PASSPORT, is the star. In the low hurdles
h is time is 30s, which is lbs better than
last years intercollegiate record. II. r.
Spencer, '99, has made the best time in
the high hurdles, 21s.
The best for the quarter. run has
been made by J. e. Stephenson, '9S Of
Houlton, Sc Abs, which is bettor than
any previous Colby record. W. L. hub
bard, '96, of Bangor, the captain of the
team, has sure thing in the half-inile
run, as he did last year. His best time
! this season is Pm 1Ss.
. G. L. Clement, 81 will go in the mile
run instead of the two mile. His time
of ON 2-5s is better than the Colby record
and he will probably get it down still
lower before the intercollegiate meet on
June s. G. A. Ely, '98, is day by day
. low ering his time i'll the two-mile run,
