The last of the dashes was wouni

long was run straightaway, each
man in an alley. Several heats
were reeled of in fast time AMI
then in the final Cottrell broke the
tape in 25 2-5 seconds. Bingham
was inches away and Rogers OF
Goldfeld was third. The thr. .e
men could have been covered by a
blanket, so close did they finish.
The road race" four laps to the
mile, attracted a large field. Do
zier of Susanville led for a lap and
half. making pace for two wiry
Tonopah lads. who held him safe
all the way. Trabert of Tonopah
jumped to the lead in the third
lap and more than held it to the
finish. At the bell lap he was
leading his team-mate, Flood, by
six yards. Both men finished with
good sprint in them, and Ira

lead. Ogilvie, third, scored the

The prettiest of all events, and
one OF the most interesting to the
spectators, was the pole vault which
