TRACK MEET WAS
DECIDED SUCCESS
Several Island Record
TOttered, And Dash
Time Broken

The Chinese Field Day was a pro-
nounced success. From every stand
point, save that of weather, the
meet exceeded all expectations as u
medium of entertainment and sport.
There was an immense crowd on
hand to witness the games and that
they enjoyed the proceedings was
| shown by the hurrahing and APP
Dlauding of every winner to the echo.
But before the meet had gone very
Ear it became evident that it would
| resolve itself into almost dual con-
test between those corking little ath-
letos, En- Sue and John Lo. En- Sue
carried off three firsts, besides tieing
his opponent in the high jump, only
To lose on the flip of a coin, and sec
ond and third money couple of
times. John Lo was there every min
ute of the time, however, and the
man that wins race from that lad
after he has had little more train
ing and coaching will certainly have
TO go some. The two of them, En-
! Sue and John Lo, make as pretty q
| running team as one could expect to
ind anywhere. They can not only
both run like iiends, but they are al
so almost equally good at the jumps
! and IL may be said to the credit OF
Lo that he hurled himself like a
catapult through the air for dis.
lance of 20 feet inches in the
broad jump, and losing the event by
three-quarters of an inch. He also
showed that he was anything but q
One-sided athlete when he showed
out the l2-pound weight Tor a dis,
lance of 80 1-2 feet.
OF course, En- Sue was the real staI
of the meet; in fact, he was a whole
constellation by himself, and he
carried off the Chas. +. Chillingworth
Cup for the man winning the great.
est aggregate number of points. His
than the number reached by his
most formidable opponent, John 10
| His most startling performance was
| the time he Is claimed to have made
in the 50-yard DASH 1-j seconds.
On account of the fact that there
is not one a. A. U. Rule Book fol-
| 1907 to be found, whether or moi
this cuts down the worlds RECORD
cannot be verified as yet. However
, the Worlds Almanac gives the bes
time to Victor S. Rice, of Chicago
who covered the distance in 81
seconds. notwithstanding this fact
il IL well known that Dan Kelly, thu
/ present champion in the hundred
was at one time not so very long age
lance in record-breaking time, which
would necessarily have been less thar
Rice's time, as 1t was done since
1904. However, this cannot be tolC
for an absolute certainty until ar
official rule book of the association
Las been found. The fact remain!
that En- Sue Is a remarkable runner
and that, under the existing condi
t!onslof weather and soggy track, III
gave wonderful exhibition of speed
and natural running ability. Botl
he and John Lo are only youths al
yet, and, II they can keep up thell
present pace, they have bright ath
letic future before them.
The medal trophy which was of
rered to the club carrying off tn,
largest number of points went to tn
Chinese Athletic Club, which had 6;
points registered under its name
with the Chinese Alliance seconC
with 10 chalk-marks. 1t was almos
o walk-away for the A. C.. lads, a
they have gathered all the leading
athletes of their race in the countr,
under their fold. ....
1t was a meet that will live lonl
In the history of Chipese athletics
and, from the present outlook, 1t be
hooves the runners and field men o
the other clubs in the city to do som
hard work between now and tn
time for the big championship NEE
which will be held in the near fu
ture, or they will find that the ma
jority of points will land with tn
followers Of the Celestial Emperor.
