MEET WAS GREAT SUCCEsS-POLD
yAULTING AND HURDLING WE'RE
FEATURES-HIGH SCHOOL WINS
PREP. CHAMPIONSHIP

The annual championship meet of the
Southern Amateur Athletic union was In
every way the greatest success ever
scored by the Birmingham Athletic club.
In management and in every detail Bir-
mingham proved herself equal to the
emergency.
Only once in a long while can SO many
southern champions be gathered on one
field. Every contestant agreed that 1t
was the largest meet held by the Southern
association in many years. and the Of
ficials of the association declared that
none have been more ably handled.
The boys from far off Texas captured
both the general and the college meet,
winning A. points. which was double that
of Vanderbilt They made away with
the dashes and the hurdles. setting new
record on tine high hurdles.
The feature of the meet was the heavy
weight work by r. A. Ludlam, the in
dependent entry of the Phoenix Athletic
club, New Orleans. who scored the high
est number of points, and took first in
three events
The southern record in the pole vault
was raised six inches by E. H. Schroth
of the New Orleans Y. M. e. c., with
Davis of Auburn only one inch behind.
in beautiful exhibition.
Little Leo Fincke of New Orleans the
champion five-miler of the south, came
within few seconds of his record, and
finished with a fresh sprint, as though he
was ending a 220-yard dash. He is only
IS years old, and made his record two
years ago, when but short.legged boy.
He is the product of Tad Gormley, the VI
M G. c. coach, under whose training
he has worked constantly. He defeated
Sid Hatch of Chicago, the indoor cham
pion of the national association, in an OUT
door meet last year. and is the pet Of
New Orleans.
satterfield of the Athletic club, hurt
his knee at the start of the hurdles, when
he had good lead, and would otherwise
have made fine showing. though Estill
of Texas was the prettiest hurdler ever
seen here.
| Wilbur Nelson of Vanderbilt won the
mile run by few inches from Felts of
Tennessee in an exciting race through
out. In fact. there was plenty OF ex-
element from the start to the finish.
Vanderbilt captured the relay race by
small margin over Texas.
The. events were pulled off rapidly, due
to the efficient force of Officials, and
the use of telephone service, in COM
mand of c. II. Ohme of the signal corps.
| This is the first time this service has
been used in the south. The starter could
talk to the men at every quarter post,
and at the beginning and ending point Of
each race.

Comm ssioner HurIbut Makes Appeal
to Council Commttee-Early Sea-

Give me more funds or ! will close
Belle Isle
This is, in substance, what PARK
Commissioner Hurlbut told the ways
and means committee of the council
Tuesday morning. when he appeared
in support of his request for an addi-
tional sum of $4.550 to keep Belle Isle
going until July /.
Il have Just enough for one more
payroll after this week said Hurl-
but If / can't have the sum asked
will have 10 open the bridge and
close the island TO the public.
For while it looked as though the
closing of the island was the only al
tentative. The committee and Mr..
Hurlbut waited on Controller Doremus
In the hope that the old reliable House
of Correction fund would afford some
relief. but it was found to contain
only $4,000, as most OF this money Ia
now being used to take care OF the
debts OF the annexed territory. How
ever. the controller thought he might
be able TO spare $1,000 from this
source. and between this sum and
current receipts, the commissioner
will try TO worry along.
The unsual weather that prevailed
In March is held largely responsible
for the shortage. Ordinarily there is
no outlay for maintenance before May
l. but this year the expenditures be-
gan soon after March l. The high
price OF hay and oats is another factor
In the shortage.
