/ WOrk.
On an ideal day and under the most
favorable conditions the meet between
the Richmond high school and the
county high schools took place at
Reid Field. The meet itself was too
oneslded to be Of great interest, Rich
mond taking the farmers into camp
to the tune of s! to 81
Meet Was Tame.
Since the country boys had no en-
tries in the relay race the Richmond
relay team ran against a team COM
posed of four Earlhamites. The en-
tire meet was very tame, the total
lack of sensational fast finishes and
close contests being especially no.
ticeable.
Gem Was Out.
The star athlete of the Richmond
team was unable to participate on ac-
count Of illness but his place was
ably filled by Will Keller, who easily
won every race he entered. Rich
mond' s superiority in the running
events was manifested throughout the
meet, the county boys only getting
first in the pole vault and the running
broad jump. The entire team Of the 10
cal high school put up a good game
and had their opponents been "foe-
men worthy of their steel' the final
result woulr have been different
Retting Put Out.
The crowd was small but the bunch
of the "faithful' that accompanied
the county boys did valiant work in
"rooting. The only thing that
occurred to mar the. uccess
of Richmond was in the mile
run, when Rettig was disqualified for
crossing directly in front of coun-
ty runner and overstepped the line
when only about ten yards from the
start. A few grumbled at this decis-
ion, claiming that Rettig was forced
by the county boy to overstep the
line. but as the disqualification was
plainly just to the referee the grum-
blers wasted their breath.
Sumup of Meet.
The farmers were disheartened
when Richmond won the first four
events straight, but when the fifth
event fell to them they plucked up
courage. The next four however fell
to Richmond and county stock took a
"slump,' but rose few points when
the broad jump was awarded to a
county boy. The remainder of the
meet proved "pie' for the locals and
the meet closed with Richmond hay
ing twelve frsts, eight seconds, and
three thirds. Total 81 points, and the
county having two firsts, five seconds
and nine thirds. Total 81 points,
chalked up to it's credit.
