The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-11

Norris, the big foot ball captain, and
| the other went to Gardiner, the SYRIA
| cuse wonder in the high jump. Be
| sides this. Gardiner won the pole vault
easily and had he been pressed, might
| easily have topped the record of Bas-
com johnson, the old academy vault
er, now captain of the Yale track team
| Norris FURNISHED his record perform
ance in the hammer throw by captur-
ing the shot put without half trying
while Duffey, Scheuber and Hallett ad-
| ded to their score made on the track
| The former won the broad jump; Scheu-
! Der went away with second in the pole
vault and Hallett put second in the
| broad and third in the high jumps to
! his credit. Stanton came in with a Sc
| cond in the high jump.
| The first of the field events called was
the shot put and only three men re-
sponded to the CALF. B. Norris, Wor-
| cester Academy; II. E. Pray, Boston
English high, and c. E. DAILY, Worces-
! ter high. The event was easy for Nor
| ris with a 36-foot put. Pray put the
| weight 81 feet II IL inches and was
| second, and third went to DAILY with a
put of 80 feet inches. This, consider
| ing the fact that he has been unable to
| do any training on account of rowing
is good work.
| In the hammer-throwing event, the
same three men. with the addition of
! Sol MetZger of AndOver, competed. The
competition was a pretty contest be-
| tween Norris and Metzger, both of
whom gave evidence of being able to
| smash the record. DAILY was beaten
| in the trials, and the finals started with
Metzger leading. Norris could not
catch his swing until his last trial, and
then he sent the ball through the air
for a distance of 1873 feet indhes. This
was beyond Metzger's distance, who,
although breaking the record was four
! feet and an inch behind the Academy
| heavyweight. Pray of Boston got third,
with a throw of 80 feet inches.
The call for the running high jump
| brought out R. L. Shewell, Brookline
high, H. L. Gardiner, W. D. Hallett and
L. w. Stanton, Worcester academy, and
R. D. Newton, Andover Shewell and
Newton were distanced at feet 4
inches, which height was cleared by all
the Academy men. This assured Hal
lett of a place, and he left to compete
| in the 220 yards hurdle. Gardiner and
Stanton cleared feet inches, and this
seemed to be Stanton's limit. Gardiner
| tried for a record and cleared feet
| 9 inches so easily that the spectators
wanted him to continue, but he was
anxious to save himself for the pole
vault, and was satisfied with that
height.
A. D. Converse, Brookline high, w.
D. Hallett and A. F. D@ifey. Worcester
academy, and H. F. Pray, Boston En-
glish high reported for the running
broad jump. When the preliminaries
were finished Capt. W. M Moran of
Worcester high presented himself as
contestant, and was allowed to COM
pete. He had just recovered conscious
ness after his hard race in the quarter
mile run, and was in no condition to do
| Jumping. He took his three trials i'm
mediately, but could not land in the
first three. Duffey won with a jump
| OF 10 feet 10 inches. Hallett was sec
ond to his captain with 10 feet inches,
and Converse Of BroOkline high scored
| the single point for his school by taking
! third, with jump of IS feet Az inches.
The pole vault was the last event
OF the day, and was not cailel until
all track events We're finished, Nut a
| large crowd. largely Worcester acad-
| envy sympathizers, waited for the fin
| ish. c. S. Taylor, Worcester high: IL
| L. Gardiner, F. B. Scheuber and c. c.
| Pinney, Worcester academy, ana L. P
| Thompson Andover competed. Taylor.
| like DAILY, has done no training for his
! event on account of rowing, and he
and Thompson were clearly outcassed
! by the academy cracks. After these
! two were disposed of, Pinney was sat
| isfied with third place, with a record
| of feet 10 inches. Gardiner and
| SCheuber fought out a little contest Of
! their own, but the latter was tired
| by his eXertions on the track and sue
| cumbed at 10 feet IA inches. Gardiner
was satisfied with a winning vault Of
| 10 feet 6 1-2 inches, and did it so easily
! that everybody felt sure he could raise
/ Johnsons record of 10 feet inches.
