Except for few sprinkles of rain
the weather man was verv good yes
terday afternoon and the junior inter
one grand success from beginning to
end The times made were all excel
lent. the races were started on time
there was no pilikia or protesting, and
best of all. the finish was rampant
with excitement, as the winning of the
championship depended on the result
of the relay race.
When the pole vault was finally de-
cided it was found that the scores
stood: Kaahumanu, AZ; Central Gram
mar. 80; Punahou Prep, 9. This meant
that if either Central Grammar or
Kaahumanu took the relay. the winner
would take the championship of the
meet, as the relay counts just five
points.
The Ks. had two to one shot in
that if Punahou won the relay they
would still be ahead, but this did not
bother them at all; they simply butted
in with all their youthful might, and
the four lads ran a remarkable race,
leaving Dai Fuko with several yards
between him and second man at the
finish.
Dali Fuko a Star
The sensation of the afternoon was
the work of Dai Fuko, a fully-form-
ed Japanese from the Kaahumanu
School. He entered four events be-
sides the relay, and won first place
in each contest. 1t seemed a trifie in
congruous for grown man to be run
ming against fourteen-y ear-old Riddles.
but Dai Fuko attends the school and
SO he had perfect right to compete.
In justice TO the Punahou lads, it must
be said that the average of their age
was much less than that of the two
grammar school boys.
Mott, the second man on the list,
was the star for the Central boys. He
is built like a typical young athlete,
and his pole-vaulting was particularly
neat and effective. When the crossed
the bar there was no struggling of his
limbs, but he came down like prac-
tised diver reversed.
Motif high jumping was also very
good. Young Hitchcock ran him a
close second, but the Central boy was
too nimble for the Punahou champion,
mean feat for grammar school lad
to accomplish.
Dark Horse Close Second.
Somebody joshed the Advertiser rep
resentative before the mile race for re-
ferring to Bush as a dark horse. He
was so much of a dark horse that he
very nearly galloped in a winner. He
ran splendid race, but was not fast
enough for Cottrell. who set hard
pace from the start and was never ac-
tually headed, although Bush was even
with him at the half mile mark. The
time for this race was wonderfully
good, and both men viii probably be
heard from in the longer distance
when they graduate to college or high
school,
While the field events were being
pulled off, DR.. Hand introduced a stunt
that was not on the program. He
gathered together a few dozen small
Riddles, from seven to ten years old,
50-yard races. The winner in each case
was presented with bag of peanuts,
and the unscheduled events gave huge
delight to the crowds of bigger boys,
who cheered the little men to the
echo.
After the races were all over, pres
entations of winning badges were made
to the first, second and third in each
event by Miss Felmer, principal of Ka-
ahumanu School; Wiss Winnie, vice
principal of Punahou Prep, and Miss
Needham of Central Grammar. Each
lad was recognized by name as he
stepped up to have his badge pinned
on his breast, and the ladies had a
few words of kindly personal congratu-
iation for each of them.
