PORTLAND, June 6.-The Multno-
NAH Amateur Athletic club won the
field and track meet of the Pacific
Northwest Amateur association today,
taking SO points. The University of Or
egon was it's nearest competitor, with
23 points; Olympic of San Francisco
third, with 10, and Seattle fourth, with
II.
While Multnomah's athletes eccred-
tied themselves in good shape, 1t is only
fair to state that the predominance of
the local clubs entries had much to do
with the result. There were no RECORDS
broken today; only one attempt was
made. This was by flanagan of the
Olympics. who went after the north
west record in the pole vault. Lana
gan's best performance today was IL
feet.
A curious incident'in connection with
Lanagan's attempt was that just as he
failed telegram was read announcing
that A. c. Gilbert of Yale, who is a
Multnomah man, and who holds the
p. N. A. record for the pole vault, had
just broken the worlds record at Phil
adelphia.
The sensation of the afternoon was
the finish in the mile run. Devolt OF
Multnomah and Clarke of the Seattle
A. c. were so close together that both
carried the tape with them, The Judges
were first inclined to declare a dead
heat, and 1t was only after fifteen min
utes discussion that it was finally de-
cided to award the race to Devolt.
Price of the Tacoma high school made
a brilliant showing in the 220-yard hur-
dies, and 1t was unfortunate that one
of his competitors knocked hurdle
under his feet and cut his ankle. Ihe
Tacoma boy, notwithstanding he was
thrown out of his stride, secured secohu
place in the event.
