Jacob Tome Institute, on Saturday
afternoon, drew a large and en-
thusiastic crowd of spectators. The
meet was won by Central High
School of Washington, whose
athletes scored 233 points. Central
High School of Philadelphia was
second, with 10; Tome third, with
1Sa; Penn Charter fourth, with
144; Brown Prep. fifth, with 123;
Baltimore City College sixth, with
123. The Rural High School
championship was won by Franklin
School. The field was the largest
and one of the best that ever COM
peted at Tome, there being four
records broken. Athletes repre-
senting 25 schools were present.
Riddle, of Brown Prep, was the
star sprinter of the meet, winning
both hurdles in easy fashion, while.
Wise, Tones star weight man, and
Hobson, of Philadelphia Central
High School, also did we'll for their
Irrespective schools. The best race
of the day was the quarter mile
run. In this, Lukens, Central
Highs fast sprinter, fell over his
marks and was penalized three
times. He could not quite make
up this lost ground, and was beaten
a scant yard by Dick, of Washing
ton Central High, in the fast time
of So 15 seconds.
In the field events Martin, of
Baltimore, beat the record in the
broad jump by over an inch,
making a distance of % feet 81
inches. Wise, of Tome, broke
his own record by three feet,
sending the IL pound hammer 149
feet 8 inches. Burdick, of Penn
Charter, carried off the high jump
honors, while his teammates scored
second and third.
Wise, of Tome, won the individ-
ual cup,-a handsome solid silver
loving cup on an ebony base. He
won first in the hammer, second in
the broad jump with a leap Of %
feet, and second in the shot put,
with put of Al ft. in. Of especial
interest to Marylanders was the
newly introduced series of events
for the Rural High Schools of
Maryland. Seven schools competed
in this series, the championship
falling to Franklin High School OF /
Reisterstown, with a total of III
points. Thurmont High School
and Cecil County High School of
Elkton tied for second place, each
with. points. The Rural High
School athletes surprised everybody
by their excellent showing and
deserve great credit for the work
they did. They were all delighted
with the Meet, and are coming back
next year to win some more of the
handsome gold, silver, and bronze
medals, which the Tome manage
ment awards. Tome was SO much
gratified by the interest which the
schools in our counties showed in
this new feature, and by their
generous response to her invitation
to compete, that she will continue
the series another year, and add
one or more events to it. This new
feature has aroused favorable COM
ment in our State, and it is more
than likely to be introduced else
where, so that the initiative the
State of Maryland has taken, will,
in all probability result in a
genuine outburst of enthusiasm for
athletics in her sister States, and
may eventually extend through the
country at large.
