LOUISVILLE SCHOOL SECOND
HUNTER, THE FALLS CITY SPRINT.
ER, A PHENOMENON.

LOUISVILLE. KY. May 2O.-In the tri-
State held-day athletic meet, held here to-
day, the Manual Training High School
team of Indianapolis won. with 81 points,
Louisville getting second place, with 80
points. and Mooney Manual Training
School. of Franklin. Tenn, third, with 10
points. BY it's victory Indianapolis wins the
tri-State championship. large silver cup
and a gold medal.
After having postponed the events from
Saturday afternoon until to-day there came
near being a repetition of Saturdays dis
gushing weather conditions. The morning
was warm and sutry and about noon
clouds began to obscure the heavens and
rain fell. This continued until long
after the time for calling the meet-2:5O
o'clock. Notwithstanding the bad weather
fully one thousand people went out to
Fountain Ferry Park TO witness the con-
tests. The hard rain of Saturday made the
cinder track in fine shape, but the rain or
to-day loosened the earth and made run
ming difficult for the men. Record-breaking
time out of the question. While the
rain falling in torrents it was at first
decided TO call off the bicycle races but
when the sun again came out the cement
track soon dried sufficiently to allow the
bicycle races to be run
The Mooney students, of whom much was
said. hardly became a factor in the meet
In only one event did a Mooney student
get first place.' and that was in the ham,
mer throw, when Bridges made 125 feet. 51s
inches Their other points were made from
seconds and thirds
The Louisville team might be said to be
one-man team. as W. Hunter who won the
all-around prize, was the only representa-
tive from this city who made any showing
In the five events in which Hunter partici-
pated he ran like scared deer and was
surprise even to MS local friends. The 9TH
er men of the Louisville team were not
much in evidence during the contest. Hud-
son, rider OF much promise, was 0utridden
KittIe
The indianapolis team was evenly bal
anced throughout the contest. From the
second event, when the l. NJ. Il. II. s. boys
forged ahead in the points, they were never
headed and from that time the possession
OF the cup was never in doubt. Clair Peck
captain, ana hrull had Walk-aWay In the
pole vault, and stopped when they reached
feet, inches. as their opponent, Newman,
OF Mooney, gave up the contest. The new
men of the Indianapolis team were much OF
surprise TO Captain Peck. Bowers, a little
fellow of whom not much was expected,
mace a showing with such men Hunter
and Dennis In the fifty-yard dash, he get
ting third. In another event the one-hun-
dred-yard dash, there was a question as to
whether Bowers finished third. The judges
did not see a number on his back and,
therefore, refused to allow him credit for
finishing in this position. a Mooney student
was fourth, and two of the judges were in
clined to allow the Tennessee man the po-
stion, but Bowers agreed to run the race
over with the Mooney student, which was
arranged for later in the day. This time
the Mooney man jumped the gun and Bow
ers, seeing the FOUL refused TO start and
the race was given TO CT. Hamilton Barlow,
another new man, got second place in the
SS0-yard run.
The only record broken during the meet
was in the running high jump 1had Shide-
Ter, of the L. NJ T. II. s.. cleared the bar
at feet, 6 inches, breaking a former rec
ord held by him and Vonnegut at feet.
Az inches.
indianapolis did not enter the 44O-yard
dash, as the hour was drawing late anu
the boys were in a hurry 10 catch an early
train and waived their places At this point,
however, the result was decided cOnclu-
sively. The even manner in which the /. Nj.
T. II. 5. athletes worked won for them
praises from the greater part of the spec
tatOrs.
AT the conclusion of the meet DIR. /. n.
