FIRST TEN INDIVIDUAL POINT WINNERS.

The athletes of Washington held full
sway at the first municipal track and
field meet yesterday on the Monument
grounds, held in conjunction with the
safe and sane Independence Day cele-
bration outlined by the District Com
missioners.
To much credit cannot be given Prof.
c. Edward Beckett w. G. Stuart and
the other officials of the games for their
untiring efforts in handling such q large
throng OF athletes with the limited means
at their disposal
With fifteen clubs represented at the
games and nearly 400 athletes entered,
the meet promised to be a corker and
it was, to the spectators at least. The
runners did not show their usual speed
owing to the intense heat and the soft
condition Of the track.
Old Sol in Full Array.
Old Sol was there IN all his glory the
old-timer trying to outdo himself in
the matter of making It hot for all con-
cerned. which he succeeded in doing to
the queens taste The officials re-
sembled some Of the swimmers who had
just left the pool water dripping on
them in streams.
Several of the events were hotly con-
tested, especially the seventy-flve-yard
Junior dash. which was WOE by Harry
Davis, OF the Washington Gross Country
Club after q desperate finish, beating
out ]. NJ. Vincent, of the same club, by
inches.

vidual point trophy, with A. Frank, of

having ten points to their credit.
As there is but one cup, the officials
stated last night that should there be
enough left from the appropriation and
subscriptions, a cup would be given each
of the cracks, but should there not be
any surplus the runners would most likely
toss up for the trophy.
