Great Race in Quarter.

The greatest race Of the day was the
quarter mile between BrintOn and Cham
beTlain- Chamberlain had gained ground
on Brinton in the last quarter OF the
nile race in the recent relay carnival so
the Provo sports backed him heavily
against the L phenOm. On the start
Chamberlain took the lead and after q
fierce fight on the turn Sam pushed ahead
with Chamberlain at his heels. In this
position the two men fought until the last
turn. when BrintOn pulled away. but as
the runners turned down the home stretch
Chamberlain gradually closed in and fin
ished about a foot behind the speedy L
man. II was one of the closest and most
sensational races that has ever been run
in this city. The race was run in 81 sec
onds, which is twO-fifthS of a second be
low the state record.
The two-twenty furnished a good fight
for second place between Richardson and
Bairde, Brinton taking first with ease
The hundred yard dash was won in rec
ord time. Brinton covering the distance
in 10 flat In the half mile Roberts for
the L put I'D a great fight and pushed
the strong Chamberlain, the 3. Y. T. star,
TO the finish. The relay fell easily to
Msddock's team.
The only dispIeasing incident OF the
meet occurred in the mile, when SANS
bury spiked Harry Alley, the star miller
for the L. Alley was coming around the
turn on the third lap when SALISBURY
closed in on him and spiked him. He was
ordered off the track \ wound of cor
az
and he had to retire from the meet.
In the field events ConviH was the star,
winning "A points and breaking two state
records. He won the shot at 20 feet 10
inches and threw the hammer 13s feet
inches. which is nearly two feet better
than the state record made by Beunlon.
He took third in the broad and second in
the discus Wilkinson beat the state rec
ord a foot in the discus. The Provo star
was Baird. He won the broad and high
jumps and second in the two-twenty, scor-
ing Is points.
Brinton as usual was the big point win
ner and the lad from Cottonwood with
the wonderful legs won his regular three
events and ran the relay. He broke the
record in the quarter and tied It in the
hundred. Stewart. who runs hurdles for
the T.. did good work and won both Of his
events.
