run will not be recognized by the Amateur
Athletic Union, for the reason that the or
ganizatfon had no official timekeeper pres
ent.
yards Captain Kent of Central surprised
everybody. His run was made in an open
event, accurately timed by several officials.
Attention was not called to his feat until
Then Percy S. Foster, the official ANNOUNCE
er. called out through his megaphone as
soon as the cheering for Seitzs run had
begun to subside, that "CentraFs hand
some captain also ran his fifty yards in
52-5 seconds" 1t was Central's turn to
cheer then and she did her duty.
In spite of the fact that there was no Of
fetal timekeeper from the Amateur Ath-
letic Union present, and even if on this ac-
count official recognition is not given to
the records of these two runners, not one
bit of glory can be taken from them. 1t
will doubtless be recognized by the public
that the results were as announced Satur-
day night
An audience of nearly 1000 persons was
present in the big hall, and the utmost in
terest was manifested in the various
events. There were representatives pres
ent from all of the local high schools ex-
cept the Business from GEORGETOWN Uni
versity, and from Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Alexandria and other places.
Probably there was more interest in the
last event of the evening than in any
other. This was the relay race between
the four local high schools. 1t was well
run, but the Central team won by a good
margin. In all of the events in which the
Central entered men the school did well,
but Technical had the better of her by one
event in the wind-up.
The visiting athletes did good work. Bal
timore City College winning the mile run,
a relay race and the running high jump.
Army and Navy came out first in fifty
yard dish. and the Episcopal High School
of Alexandria won in a relay race.
