 Finish in the Shade
 Under the shade of three dropping cypress trees, which bordered the far turn of the quarter r-mile oval on which the national junior athletic champion ships were decided here today, nearly all the heart breaking struggles of the meet occurred. The trees stood a few ba hau fine of stretch and every victor in the longer races chose this point to make the sprint which won his race. All the thrills occurred under the expresses, the races being procession to the tape after the runners emerged into the sunlight.
 The southern athletes, few of whom will appear in the big events of tomorrow, had their innings today, and while they were not very often in at the finish, they were credited with some notable perform ances. E. H. Schroth of the Young Mems Gymnastic club of New Orleans, holder of the southern pole vault record, fought off his opponents for nearly two hours until finally he won with vault which raised his own former record by two inches.
 Sid Jones of Birmingham, who admits being 40 years old, and who for years has been the most famous war horse in southern athletics, proved that the ma ture athlete can "come back in this cli- mate, when he went into the high jump and won third place. The winner equalled the southern record in this event, which is held by Jones.
 Irish Invasion
 Todays results proved veritabe Irish invasion of the south, the Irish-Amer- ican from New York drawing almost con- tinual cheers from a crowd which A. A. U. officials say was one of the biggest and most hospitable which ever attend ed a national meet. The Irish-Americans rolled up 51 points. just three times as many as their nearest competitors, and they left the field with hats cooked over one ear and the promise to repeat their success in tomorrow's national senior events the feature of the meeting. How ever, large numbers of bulky young men about the field, who did not compete to- day, were heard to remark that the Irish Americans sure have to run some" if they repeated. Notable among these was a delegation of half a dozen from the Pa cifc coast, headed by Ralph Rose, who is said to be physically the biggest man in New Orleans tonight. Others inclined to challenge the 1rish-Americans were the two Chicago clubs, which made a good showing today, and the New York Ath- letic club, which won 5 points with the single athlete which it entered this aft ernoon
 The former southern broad jump rec ord broken today was 21 feet inch, held by J. E. Lombard of New Orleans.
