Washington Grove, Md. Sept 4-The
Washington Grove Cross Country Club,
well known among the city's cinder-path
artists made a grand sweep of the ninth
annual athletic meet, given here to-day
under the auspices of the Washington
Grove Athletic Association.
Fourteen points lead hardly tells the
story OF the hard struggle which they
we're given in the race for the team tro-
ply. The fremont Athletic Club, Of
Washington, and the Baltimore Y. NJ.
Q. A were always in the running, and
often threatened the victors. Close races
dominated. and several times the large
gathering rose en- maSse to cheer the
struggling athletes.
The SSO-yard run brought out one OF
the prettiest finishes ever witnessed in
these parts. when w. S. Hullfish, of the
Cross Country Club, nosed out a victory
over Landon, Of the Tremonts Landon
lead a large field for i've laps, but was
unequal TO the cross country lads squirt
on the finish
The 44O-yard run also proved very ex-
citing. and Washington admirers were
delighted TO see Capital City boy breast
the tape in front of Brown, of the Monu-
mental City. As did Hullfish i'll the half
mile, Hamilton won this race in the final
stretch.
In the twO-miIe event, but three were
entered, and Holland. Bolac and King
finished in the order named.
Bradley Gish, the muoh-touted New
Yorker, failed 10 shine, due largely to
the heavy handicaps placed on him. He
made a grand attempt to break the
in CaOt1Ir1- buf II @
Brockman and Robert Grace proved a
little TO fleet for him, and he was
forced to content himself with the
bronze medal. He did slightly better in
the shot-put, in which he got second
place, and had ii not been for large
handicaps would certainly have been
placed in the broad jump.
Several other events were closely
contested. especially the high jump. in
which Gabor. Timanus. and Weidman
fought 1t out q gOOdly distance above
1--WE feet
TemOnt A. c. Protests.
Only one protest was registered. The
Tremonts had a relay team entered. and
it was understood that should it be i'm
possible to get a team to run against
II, the management of the meet would
allow it to run an exhibition race for

a quartet of gold medals. On arriving
at the grounds, Bennie Robinson man
ager of the Tremonts, was told that the |
medals had been purchased. but that
the committee in charge did not see fit |
to run the race. AS a result of the |
matter, Mr.. Robinson will take the
matter up with Chairman Stewart. of |
the A. A. L.
All the events were well run off. and |
the management of the meet deserves a |
great deal of credit for its handling of |
