GREAT ATHLETIC NIGHT.
Washingtons Did Well in Big Meet at
Baltimore.

More than 900 people witnessed the first
indoor games of the Fifth Regiment Ath-
letic Association held Saturday night in the
new armory at Baltimore, and the general
verdict was that the games We're the most
successful in the history of the association.
One state record was broken. 1t was in
the pole vault in which J. w. Eng of
Johns Hopkins made the actual jump of 10
feet "a inches It. Reese Cornelius held it
previously at 10 feet l inch. The contest
ants all did well. and some of the races
furnished exciting sport
The events Were run off rapidly. and
there was not a hitch. Unlike a great
many amateur meets. the one Saturday
night passed off with an entire absence OF
the usual vexatious delays and bitches.
Governor elect Warfield was present, and
saw the sports from a front seat. The uni
forms of the members of the 9Th. the gay
costumes of the many ladies present and
the athletes in their scant attire made up a
brilliant scene.
The Washington athletes made a splendid
showing, capturing several of the events.
and when losers were we'll enough up to
make it interesting for the winners. In the
final of the 1OO-yard dash there was moth
ing to it but Washington, Paul Cook of the
Central High School capturing first place;
Dick Dear. who really belongs to this city,
but raced in the University Of Pennsylvania
colors, was second. and r. II. Walker of
yard run the Washington athletes were
trailers. and the same applies to all the
other long distance events
In the relay races the local militia boys
were particularly fortunate on their first
time out. defeating the strong first team
of the West Branch Y. NJ. C. A. of Balti-
more.
