for honors. Each school was coached by its
admirers. though the Indianapolis schools
had the advantage in the number of root
ers. The Manual Training High School
won the day with 65 points TO So made by
the Indianapolis High School.
The event was the second annual inter-
scholastic field day and the rivalry pro-
duced by last years meet only whetted the
appetites OF the contestants and their fol-
lowers for the event yesterday. There has
seldom been such enthusiastic gather
ing in any place in this city. nor could
there have been any prettier crowd than
thot which filled the huge grand stand. 1t
was evident to an onlooker in the field that
the crowd was fractional. The Indianapolis
High School was seated ono the east side
and the Manual Training High School on
the west. Their yells would be heard when
an opponent was declared out of the CON-
test or when he failed to score. The deafen-
Ing cheers that would then be emitted
caused many on the field to look from the
contestants and notice the waving of ban
ners and the yelling of the apparently fran
tic crowd The visiting rooters were some
what in the minority and, of course, could
not make themselves so conspicuous the
followers Of the local athletes. The Indian
apolis High School contingent had with
them drum and bugle corps. which was
used to great advantage in making noise.
This band became so boisterous that IL was
removed to the other side of the track.
All the events were pulled off with pre-
cfslon and there was nothing to mar the
meet The only accident was in the one
half mile bicycle race, when Hal Cowing,
OF the Lafayette High School, collided
w a. ,ll> l.
and both were thrown with great force
from the track. Cowing's wheel was de-
molished. Neither rider was hurt to any
extent. as both arose Immediately from
the ground and walked to their dressing
rooms.
Shortly after the opening event it became
evident that the fight really was between
the two local schools. The visitors were
in the game only once and that was in
the running high jump. which was won
five inches.
Many records were broken during the
meet and some of the records smashed
show that the young students have been
working hard to gain the coveted cup
which was won last year by the Manual
Training High School of this city, and by
their victory of yesterday it becomes their
property for good. Ogle, of the Indianap-
oils High School, broke the state record
In the first heat of the one-hundred-yard
dash, running the distance In ten and one
fifth seconds. 1t is an open question who
carried off the honors of the day, but Ogle,
of the indianapolis High School. had the
most winnings to his credit. The
ty-yard dash will in all probability
be contested by the referees. as
some of the judges claim the race
was tie. The race was really between
the contestants from the two local schools,
and it was finished by both men shoulder
to shoulder, and there is some doubt as to
who was the winner John Holt, of the
Manual Training High School, won the
five minutes and twenty-five seconds to
five minutes and eleven seconds. Taggart,
OF the indianapolis High School, also came
in for his share Of record-breaking and re-
duced last yea1r's record for the four-hun-
dred-and- forty-yard dash from over one
minute to fifty-five and two-fifth seconds.
Throughout the contest the Manual
Training High School led in the number
of points and when 1t was seen near the
end Of the contest that they would again
carry off the honors their followers be-
came frantic with delight and ran for their
idols"

Parrott- Taggart Baking Company for the

| Training School. The final score will not be
changed enough if the northumberland
| twenty-yard dash is decided against the
Manual Training High School athletes to
| take the laurels from them. Vonnegut, who
| has been laid up at his home for ten days
