called for
The sport started with the junior

seconds.
The second heat went to Punohu
who. much to the surprise Of all, left
En- Sang. who showed such good form
a year ago, simply nowhere, doing
the distance in IL 1-5 seconds.
The running high jump was almost
the closest event of the day. Har-
bottle and Pokapale refused TO give
up and went up in the air until both
failed to go higher than 5 feet 2 1.2
inches.
The first heat of the 50-yard dash
was quite exciting. Campbell had been
penalized three yards for false start
ing. but notwithstanding this setback,
he came down like hurricane and
was barely beaten by En- Sang, who
crossed the line in seconds.
In the second heat of the 50-yard
Castle. the Oahu College sprinter was
badly fouled. but the judges refused 20
recompense him in any way although
the foul was noticed by all the timers
and by the starter. Moon had the
mauka course, Castle came second,
Hanakahi third and Griswold fourth.
AT the crack of the pistol both Moon
and hanakahi forged ahead about two
wards. Hanakahi crossing over into
Castles course. Of course Castle was
badly boxed and in order to extricate
himself he was forced TO slow up and
cross over back of Hanakahi taking
the course the latter had just left. AL
though. be lost three yards by so do
ing he was only beaten by yard.
Moon and Hanakahi came in so close
together that it was impossible to
pick the winner. so that the heat was
called a tie. Time 1-5. The judges
at first consented to let Castle enter

Antoine Marcellino lost the 4i0-yard
dash through poor judgment The
race was started from down near the
chapel. up the hin TO the Museum, |
and then down hill again for about q
hundred yards. As the contestants |
reached the top of the hill. Marcellino |
thought the finish was but short |
way ahead took the lead with jump. |
The finish failed TO materialize. how |
ever and as il was too late TO give up /
the lead, Marceiiino kept up his spirit. |
The distance was too great for twenty |
five yards from the finish his strength J
gave out and Punohu. who was prac- |
tieally fresh. took the race as he |
pleased Time. ! minute. seconds. |
The loo-yard high hurdle turned out /
to be an easy thing for Harbottle, who /
won as he pleased in II 1-5.
The SS0-yard run proved TO be n /
surprise. The race was started down |
near the girls school. and nothing but /

pace was too hot for Alau and Deveril /
