CRACK ATHLETES At
WASHINGTON GROVE
High-CIass Sport Assured for
Annual Field Games
Tomorrow.

When the first race is started at the
seventh annual field day games Of the
Washington Grove (Md) Athletic Asso-
citation, on its field at the Grove at 1890
tomorrow morning. over 100 Of the best
athletes of the south Atlantic states,
making over 300 entries. will be on hand
to take part in the twenty events.
This meet. which has always been a
popular one with both the contestants
and public, will probably be better and
the competition more keen than ever be-
fore.
One of the features of the games will
be the relay race for the Montgomery
county championship, open to teams of
bona flde residents Of towns in the coun-
ty. The entrants this year are Washing
ton Grove, with Clarence Rose, Eddie
Swing, Eddie Thompson and Eugene Lee
ger: the strong Woodside team, which
has captured this event for three years,
with Ollie Clark. Johnnie Jones, Jim
Benedict and Floyd Cissell, and probably
the Rockville team.
Best Race Of the Day.
Probably the best race of the day will
be the half mile between two intercol-
legiate point winners of last year. john
ME Jones Of Yale and Eugene Leger of
Michigan. Three other good men who
might prove troublesome are Hildebrand
of Washington Grove, Malcolm White, the
Maryland Agriculture College star, and
w. e. Black of the 9TH Regiment A. A.
Of Baltimore.
Another pretty race should develop in
the century dash with Lepper, the south
Atlantic champion; Senft. who got third
in the same event, and Gill, the sensa-
tional school boy runner OF Tome. who,
in the last federal games. won all three
dash races-the 5O-yard dash. scholastic,
open and invitation. H. &. Royce Will
also bear watching.
A special event has been added to the
program in the hope that a new south
Atlantic record will be hung UP, the
running hop, step and jump. c. A. King
has come within an inch of the mark
and will bear watching. Roy Lester is
also going well and the tussle for first
honors in this event should prove ex-
citing.
Washington patrons should leave the
Union station on the $40 train. which
will put them at the Grove in ample time
They can leave for Washington at 1:3O
which will enable them to get there by s.
