Field and Track Sports Of the Four
High Schools.
TOMORROW ON GEORGETOWN FIELD
Unusual Interest in the Events
This Year.
NO SURE THING FOR CENTRAL


the high schools of the District will be held
tomorrow afternoon on Georgetown Field.
The trophy for which the schools will strive
is silver cup donated by The Evening
Star. Four years ago The Star gave a
silver cup to be competed for by the
athletic teams of the four high schools and
to become the property of the school win
ming 1t for three successive years. From
the outset the track team of the Central
High School demonstrated its superiority,
putting the field such well-knOwn men
as the late Hyder B. Tarrow. Wade Jolly,
now in the army; Harry Ruff of George
town Law. Mike Stuart of Columbian,
the holder of the interscholastic ten-mile
record; Charlie Young of Cornell, the fast
Splinter, and Geo. W. Curtiss of Princeton,
one of the finest all-around athletes the
District has produced. The first year
Central won IS out of possible 96 points,
and for the next two years maintained the
same high average 50 that the cup is now
the property Of that school.
Evening Star Trophy.
This year The Evening Star. with the
view of sustaining that interest in manly
sports which has been manifested in such
| marked way during the past three years,
offered another cup as a trophy. 1t is
larger and more beautiful than the former
cup, and the emulation excited will doubt
less correspond The trophy is exhibit
ton in the windows of Castelberg $50
Pennsylvania avenue. The conditions of
the gift are similar to those attending the
| gift of the former cup
TOmorrOw's Contests.
Tomorrow's contests promise to excite
more attention than any other Of previous
years, for the four schools have made I'M
| usual effort to put forth exceptionally
strong teams to bring home the new
| trophy. This year, too, the victory of Cen
! trail is very uncertain which element of
doubt only adds zest to the occasion.
! While Central has some fine material on
| its team. it is, with the exception of the
| veteran. Percy Wilson, practically untred
! and 1t has moreover, to encounter the
| Eastern team. which is said by those who
| know to stand an excellent chance for first
place. Capt. John B, Robertson, who man.
| ages the Central team, and occupies the
| chair on the managing board. has, with the
| assistance of his colleagues-Bride of the
Eastern Caldwell of the Western and Eur
| horst of the businessman Mr. English and
| Mr.. Wilson. the faculty advisers at the
! Central. arranged very interesting pro-
| gram. which, in addition to the usual
! events. embraces discus and hammer
| throwing
| Percy Wilson, captain of the Central
| track team, has had its team out every
| day under Trainer Foley, and the final
4
| things are expected. The captain himself
runs the mile, half and quarter, and sends
| Cuvil!ier in for the hundred, while Dick
| Dear may be looked tc to hold down all
| tie this year at Philadelphia. where, though
| defeated, they ran a remarkably fast and
| close mile relay. The team is particularly
| strong at the weights. where Deylin, Cur
| tiss (brother of Geo. W. and Ray will GER
| tainly give good accounts of themselves
| Curtiss will enter for the high jump, where
fftNl1 rbkA
| hurdles, Central will score heavily The
| school has always been weaker in the
wheel events. but this year it has a very
| strong man in Sherwood. Duryea and Cur
| tlSs VIII take care of the pole vault
| Other Athletes.
The Eastern School confidently expects to
carry off the cup. and, indeed, it is not such
remote possibility with men like Captain
Lee, Hiider, who runs the quarter, and
Adams, who will give all contestants a
| close push on the wheel.
| The Business, while it cannot hope to win
| Is Well represented In Zurhorst who has
seen more actual service than any other
contestant, and who two years ago nearly
| defeated George Curtiss at the hurdles.
Some say the pole vault Is as good az his
| already.
| The Western sends its captain. Caldwell
| VINO IS strong at the weights, and who will
| probably capture the broad jump, and
Boggs, who understands how to propel q
wheel swiftly.
With such strong showing and with en-.
thuslasm running high in the schools a
very interesting event may be predicted
