AT The little END
WHERE ST. PAUL BOYS CAME OUT
In THE INTERsCH0LAsTaC
SPORTS,
MINNEAPOLIS CENTRAL WON
THE SILVER TROPHY WITH A
MARKED PREPONDERANCE IN
POINTS Made.
SAINTS WE'RE HANDIoAPPED
By the Fact That Some of Their
Entries Were Thrown Out by
Mill City Judges.

The Minneapolis high school boys
won signal victory from their fellow
athletes from the st. Paul schools yes
terday at the fair grounds, the event
being the fifth annual field day Of the
Northwestern Interscholastic Amateur
Athletic association.
In spite Of the rather strong wind,
several association records were broken
by the Twin City athletes as follows:
Quarter mile bicycle-Biper, North side, 80
seconds; previous association record, "a sec
Onds.
One hundred and twenty-yard hurdle race
Bockman, Minneapolis Academy, 18 2-5 sec
onds; previous association record. 1S rs SEQ

One mile run-Burns. South side. 1856 rs;
previous association record, minutes and 2
seconds.

beth. % 2-5 seconds; previous association rec
ord, 2312 seconds.

Running high Jump-Hayes. Minneapolis
central. 5 feet inches; best association rec
ord jump, feet ~ inches.
Throwing the hammer South
side, 119 feet II inches; previous association
record, 104 feet inches.
AS will be seen, the sturdy young
fellows from the Minneapolis central
school won most of the honors, captur-
ing five of the fifteen events on track
and field, with plentiful supply Of
seconds and thirds to bring up their
point total. It was pretty struggle
all the afternoon between the South
side boys and the Minneapolis academi-
clans until Norenberg, the sturdy ham,
mer thrower, won that event for the
South side and clinched second honors
for his school.
Each of the two St. Paul schools won
one event. The central high of this
city is tied with the East side Mime
apolis school for last place, with the
Mechanic Arts fellows very little bet
ter off. The North side was bad
fourth.
Although each school competing
stood upon its own bottom, the fact
that there were five schools entered
from the Flour City and but two from
here seems to have resulted in the Sc
lection of almost every one Of the Of
ficia1s, judges, timers. ETC.. from Min
neapolis, and while it could not have
given victory to either Of the st. Paul
institutions, a little less palpable bias
in favor of Minneapolis might have
materially added to the scores Of both
the mechanic arts and central high
schools.
Lownsbury, who, in spite Of the
crowd of Iartisans on the track in the
way of the runners, clearly won sec
ond place in the first heat Of the 20
yard dash, was thrown out for Atkins
from the Minneapolis academy, and
the protests of his friends were allowed
to go unheeded. Sudheimer, who was
counted upon to win the bicycle events
for st. Paul, was pocketed in both and
thrown off in one of the even@s, but his
complaints availed him nothing.
Monty" Cochran, of the st. Paul
Central, distinguished himself by
snatching a hard twe-mile bicycle race
from a field Of fast riders. The young
sters set the pace and led most 1f the
way, finishing in 5:32 AS. Plummer.
fowler and Riebeth won most Of the
points for the winning school, and
Bockman crossed the tape nrst IN noth
the hurdle events. Pierce, of the me-
chanic arts, outvaulted all his competi-
tors, stopping at nine feet flat.
Newton, Benson, Staples and De Cou
are responsible for the other points
won by the st. Paul schools.
There was certainly representative
turnout of young school people and
L
were number Of coaches and private
traps, and the colors of the various
schools floated all through the monster
grand stand The usual crowd
swarmed over the track rendering it
impossible for the persons in the stand
to see the finishes Of the different
events.
A. St. Paul officer, assisted, after a
fashion, by well-meaning patrolman
mounted on a. pretty horse found it
impossible to keep the crowd in the en-
closure, and not less than an hour was
lost in attempting to clear the track.
Near the end when the excitement
was at fever heat the scene was dis
graceful and only a general rough and
tumble fight was prevented by the
concerted action Of the officers. Secre-
citation, and some of the older fellows
who charged on the horde Of demon
strative schoolboys.
Harry Loomis was starter, the
timers were Charles Craigie, A. b.
Paegel and Darlington Phelps. Messrs.
Jennings, Litzenberg, Stevenson and
Cane were field judges, while the track
