WASHINGTON GROVE, September O.
The honors of yesterdays athletic car
nival were divided between the team from
kensington and the boys from the Young
Mems Christian Association at Washington.
Other contestants from all over Montgom-
cry county came in for some small share
of the glory-and the prizes-but the bulk
of the frsts and seconds was captured by
the teams mentioned. In the base ball
game, however, the proud colors of Ken
sington were dragged in the dust of defeat,
the team from Takoma winning by the
score Of to 3. Another game was played
between the Poolesvllle team and nine
from this place. The local boys won by
the score of 10 to s. The track was heavy,
but an audience Of nearly 2.00O persons en-
1oyed the days sports to the fullest ex-
tent
For the relay championship of Mont
gomery county the team from kensington
was up against strong aggregation from
Linden. The prize was the Percy S. Foster
trophy cup. which must be won three con-
secutive times by one team before it be-
comes the property of that team. kensing-
ton won it last year and yesterday defended
their title admirably. 1t was a beautiful
race from start to finish, and only in the
last hundred yards did kensngton become
master of the situation. The last two run
ners We're Rosemond and Claggett for Ken
had just completed a mile rum in which he
was victorious, but he was too tired to
maintain the fast pace set by Rosemond
and Linden lost by u scant five yards
H R. Gore Of the Washington Y. NJ. c. A.,
In the final 1O0-yard dash, received a bad
cut In one of his legs from a spike Of a
competitors shoe. Notwithstanding the ac-
cldent Gore won the race by four yards,
and short while later he the first lap
for his team in the relay race, gaining ten
yards over the runner from the National
Guard of the District of Columbia.
