Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-20
AT THE DRIVING PARK.
Winners of the Prizes at (. T. A. U.
 Field Day Meet.


 the Yale athletic events were ever wit messed in the state of Connecticut than those which took place at the Driving park on Saturday afternoon. The only bad feature was the failure of the crowds to keep off the track and the inability of the police to keep them off. The first and greatest credit for the success of the meeting falls on the shoulders of Michael J. Thompson. the former graduate instructor of athletics at Georgetown. It was all through his efforts that so many athletes with world wide regulations were on hand to compete in the various events, and there was nothing but words of praise heard on all sides for Referee Mike Thompson. Another meet under his management later in the season would be a big drawing card.
 The closest race of the day was the 100-yard dash, which was won by J. F. Y Cornell of Hartford, who had three yards and one-ha1f start on Joe Reilley, the great Georgetown sprinter OiCon. nell breasted the tape by the fraction of an inch ahead of Reilly and so close was the finish that many though Reil- ley had won or it was a dead heat. The judges called O'ConnelPs number the minute he crossed tue tape, and CuSie was HO ulSSeALIuE Oplu1OA duoAS the four Judges.
 The base ball game between the Hartford and New Britain societies was won by the Hartford team by the score of 20 to 4.
 There was no Gaelic football game and no second base ball game, as the teams failed to show up. Tn the baton swinging contest William Zeigler of the American drum corps of New Britain woE the prize. The Grapha- phone drum corps of Bridgeport took the two prizes for modern and ancient classes. The tug-of-war contest was won by Bristol, who defeated Vest vile. The first pull was tie, the sec ond was won by Westville by one-half inch, the third by Bristol by seven eighths of an inch and the fourth and deciding pull by Bristol by one-half inch. The Sacred Heart drum corps of Springfield won the piccolo and drum contest.
 William J. O'Connell, the fast run ner who won the half-mile contest in fast time, will enter Villa Nova col. lege the coming fall and will be one of the track team. He belongs in Stamford and has lots of racing speed in his makeup.
