Race Proves Lively Feature

The annual fall handicap track and field
games given by the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. at Association Park. yes
terday afternoon. were a success in every
way. The attendance, considering the early
hour at which the games began, was large.
and the dozen events run off proved highly
interesting to the spectators.
The association created a record in run
ming off a meet, by finishing at an early
hour. This may be attributed both to the
prompt manner in starting each event. and
to the small number of entries
The entries were confined almost entirely
to association members. and as a result the
events were only fairly well filled.
The work of the contestants, consider
ing the short time they nave been in train
ing, was very good. and while no very fast
time was made in the track events. the
results showed that the association has
good material from which to build future
teams.
There was considerable disappointment
over the failure of Wefers to run the 100
yard dash against time, as per the pro-
gramme, but it was found that he had in.
Jured foot and this prevented him from
making the effort to equal the record
The feature of the afternoon was the
relay race between three teams of juniors
1t was over course of 700 yards and each
of the runners ran IFS yards The contest
which was full of dash and excitement,
was won by the team captained by S. Nc
Cauley. who had as relay men F. Johnson
W. Escaville, jr.. and d. Ellsworth. This
team won by about eighteen yards in
minute 80 2-5 seconds from Berthrong'S
nf .ai,
r. Cooke, ir., E. Simons, and w. ID. Draper
Capt. r. w. Walkers quartette came in
third
The 10o-yard dash for seniors furnished
a close finish. ]. NJ Morgan won from
W. A. Harms second by less than foot.
The winner had a yard start over the
loser, who was scratch man.
Another hard fight for the tape was seen
in the 220-yard dash with J. NJ. Morgan
at scratch and A. C. Stewart from the S.
yard mark. The latter won in % LIS sec
ends by about a foot, and If there had
been six feet more to go it is probable
that the result would have been reversed.
G.. w. Hill, jr., entered from the Frost
burg Young Mems Christian Association,
landed second place in the SS0-yard run,
which was won by J, @. Spaulding. F. G..
NcCulloh, also from Frostburg, won the
running broad jump, with 70 feet inches
usual form and failed to make winning.
Royce Hough handily won the running
high jump and the discus throw.
The mile run was a very slow affair.
and this C. w. Pimper won as he pleased
by a third of lap from Leitch, of Gallau-
det.
BY 4:3O o'clock the games were over
and the crowd was vending its way out
of the gates and the record of running off
