Last Saturday evening secretary
Hawkins received telegram from
| Washington, d. c., that caused the faces
of the Y. NJ. G. \. boys to beam with
| joy. They could be seen standing in
groups here and there talking about
Charlie. George and Fred, and their
glorious victory. They greeted each
other in passing by asking "didyou hear
the news?' In dozen different ways
they showed they were proud of the
az llltN tllltHlS VI lIltll DIblltlH III VIC
athletic contests at Washington that day.
In this connection a correspondent asks
And why should they not be proud 1t is
easy to be big toad in little puddle. But
you cannot tell just how big a toad is until
you get it into big puddle. We'll the boys
got into big puddle and found they were
big enough to come home, each wearing a
badge of victory.
The Washington Y. NJ. c. A kindly invit-
e us to participate in its fall field-day sports,
and Charles Stewart, George Hill and Fred.
McCulloh entered their names. Stewart en-
tered in the 100 and 220 yard dashes; Hill in
the halfmile run and McCuloh in the run
ming broad jump. All were handicap events.
The men against whom they contested
were from Georgetown University, Gallaudet
College, Washington High School and the
city Y. NJ. c. A. Thus they were matched
against the best men in the city and its in
situations, many who have been athletes of
recognized ability for years, and all of whom
had undergone most thorough training.
Stewart, after having failed in the first heat
Of the 1O0-yard dash by stumbling at the
olhlI CahiC III WIN iiC Slo"u III ihC oSCOhu
heat. In the 220-yard dash he lost his handi-
cap to the second man and then ran away
from him in the last 50 yards of the race.
In the half.mile run the scratch men did
not appear, so Hill with another, was put at
the scratch and a third man was given 10
yard handicap. Hill ran away from the
other scratch man and came in close second.
In the running broad jump McCulloh took
first place by a narrow margin which he
would have increased foot or more had he
matered the take-otf.
After the contest our boys received numer
Gus congra ulations from spectators and Of
ficials. one of whom was Wefers, holder of
the worlds amateur record for the 10O-yard
dash. During their entire stay in the city
they were treated royalty, and we venture the
prophecy that if a similar invitation is ex-
tended next year it will be accepted by more
and better trained men.
We would also call attention to the fact
that these victors were three of the most
faithful men in attending the class drills in
the gymnasium last winter. Systematic
training pays. 1t may be little tedious at
times but in the end it means a great deal
more in the line of development than doing
a multitude of tricks. weakness is crime
Don't be criminal"
