OF THE ANNUAL FIELD DAY
y
WE'RE FIRST INTHIRTEEN OUT OF
THE FIFTEEN EVENTS CON-
TESTED.
HAD EIGHT SECONDS AS WE'LL.
Quite an AudieAce at the Fair
Grounds to Witness the Sports
Result in Detail.

The sturdy athletes from the Mechan-
ic Arts school put it all over their adj
versaries from Cleveland and Hum
beldt schools yesterday at the second
annual interscholastic athletic meet
ing, which was held on the state fair
track and field, in the presence OF @
good-sized audience made UP of their
partisans. Each school was repre-
sented by both the boys and girls, re-
splendent in the school colOrs, and
small but stout-lunged delegation from
the central high helped matters on
generally with their school yell. When
the summary was made up at the emu
of the events, the Mechanic Arts TEL
lows had won thirteen firsts, eight
seconds and seven thirds; the Cleveland
boys earned two firsts, four SECONDS
and five thirds, while the Humboldt
athletes had to be satisfied with three
seconds and two thirds. The points
stand: Mechanic Arts, SO; Cleve-
land, %, and Humboldt, s.
Eddie Sudheimer won all three BIZ
cycle events for the winners, Staples
captured most of the sprints, while
Story carried off both the mile and half
mile runs. Hofer and Voges won the
Cleveland firsts with the high jump
and the shot put.
The prettiest event Of the day was
the 220-yard hurdle, Staples, Charles
ton and Michaud, all from the win :
ming school, We're the entries. The
first two ran neck and neck to the last
hurdle, when Staples sprinted at the
finish and won in thirty seconds. The
two-mile bicycle race, with seven start
ers, was a farce, the entire bunch drag
ging along like snailS for the first mile
and a half, with Prayer setting the
pace. The first mile occupied nearly
five minutes, and the men spurted only
when the stretch was reached. Per
kins and Sudheimer pulled away, and
Sudheimer spurted prettily and added
his third victory on the wheel for the
day to his list. The distance was made
in the poor time Of 9:O5
The half-mile run was pie for Story,
of the NJ. A, land he won in Poi, by at
least ten yards. Roy, M A, who won
the hammer throwing contest with
ninety-four feet five inches to his
credit, broke the last years record,
which was just eighty-one feet.
for Nicoll, who walked away from
Haskell, his only competitor, as if
the latter were tied to the rail.
The officers of the day were c. S.
Caldwell, clerk of the course; c.. V.
Sayles, Lucien Merritt and Il. A. Olsen,
judges; T. L. Bird T. Davis and w.
Smith, timers; r. II. Benham, starter.
