fans in the bleachers held their breath

|. A. HIGH SCORES
SIGNAL VICTORY
DEFEATS THE CRACK OAKLAND
TRACK TEAM
Mum Gives a Wonderful Exhibition
and Tallies Thirty Points
by His Perform
ance

Oakland high school would have been
nothing less than slaughtered in the
track meet at Bovard field yesterday
had it not been for the services of
Mum, who scored thirty of the fifty
five points tailed by his team. Final
score stood, Los Angeles high, So; Oak
land high, SO.
Mum was by far the best all round
athlete on the field. In the 100-yard
dash, the hammer throw, the shot put,
broad and high jumps. he took first,
winning in every contest he entered eX-
cept the relay. He made a hard try
to break the worlds record of 52-7 at
putting the shot, but could only reach
Soil.
Possibly the finest display of pluck
shown on the field was that exhibited
by Ted Phelps of Los Angeles high at
the pole vault. Phelps had bad fall
early in the meet and limped painfully.
His misfortune appeared to rile him
and when the score was announced he
and Smith of Oakland were declared
tied for second. This didn't suit Ted,
and hobbling as best he could, he kept
vaulting till he had broken the tie.
Phelps made a hard try to beat
Munns record Of 1919, pluckily vault
ing again ana again. IN IDlS, however,
he was unsuccessful
The relay proved the most exciting
event of the day. The count was 55-53,
in Oakland's favor, with the relay
counting five points.
The affair was a half mile run in
2:20 heats. The high school boys won
by almost twenty-five feet. The Oak
land lads protested that Bristol had
cut in on Munn's position before he
was six feet in front of him, but was
denied by the judges.
The results were as follows:
Mile-Hartwell, Oakland. first; Mills,
third. ~

first; johnson, l. A; H: s.. second; Mad

CoNowlNGo BRIDGE DESTROYED.

The people of Hartford will be shocked
to learn that this valuable passenger
bridge, which linked East Hartford with
the Columbia and Port Deposit railroad
in Cecil county, was destroyed by fire on
Wednesday night. Mr.. William Stew
art, the gatekeeper, states that every
thing was quiet when he retired at 1890,
but shortly afterwards it was discovered
to be enveloped In flames, and by twelve
o'clock all of the bridge lying west of the
island. consisting of five spans, was en-
tirely destroyed. No definite theory has
been advanced as to the origin of the fire
In the spring of 1904 the two spans east
of the island, which were lost by freshet
of the Susquehanna, were rebuilt of iron,
and these remained intact.
This valuable structure was erected in
1859 and has been most useful to the
travelling public in East Hartford, espe-
cially since the discontinuance of the
Tidewater canal. It's framework was OF
prime white pine, which could not be du-
plicated today. A controlling interest in
the stock is held by interests friendly to
the electrical development on the river,
and its future history will doubtless be
closely connected with the future of that
enterprise. If the proposed dam of 81
feet is constructed. the water level will be
raised to the roof of the bridge Insur
ance aggregating $4,000 had beer
placed on the bridge as follows: Hartford
Mutual, $4,000; Home. $4,000; two
assessment companies In Cecil county
$4,000, and the London Company
$1,000. The Colonial Trust Company
