Creased Pigs Chased.
Because of darkness, it was impos-
sible to complete the full programme
of athletic events which were scheduled
to follow the motorcycle races. How
ever, the chief joy of several hundred
youngsters was realized when "On
Trust and Steel Trust" two fat
young pigs. that had up until then led
comfortable lives, were we'll oiled and
turned loose to run or die.
Neither pig seemed worried as it was
brought forth in the midst of the rabid
youths. Old Trust, when released, blinked
contemptuOusly at James Feeney and
pranced mincingly toward the green
oval An instant later Steel Trust fol-
lowed and the youngsters were told TO
go ahead. They did, and two more as
tOnIshed pigs than Oil Trustand Steel
Trust II would have been impossible to
find
The first infant industry bolted head
foremost amid a swarming forest of
arms and legs and sought frantiCally
to crawl under a fence on the far side
of the field. Only a trail of dark-brown
grease remained behind Steel Trust. But
the gamest little pig that ever squealed
couldn't have escaped that crowd. II.
Wilson, who is fourteen years old and,
therefore. fears neither man nor devil,
did a side tackle, striking Oil Trust
sGUarely and knocking all the wind from
him. Gasping feebly. the porker was
picked up and recaged, while kind
friends tried hopelessly to separate II.
Wilson from the surrounding grease.
Samuel Carroll, twelve years old, cap
tured Oil Trust by sitting on him after
having rolled him on his back. Both
boys were allowed to take their porcine
! prizes home.
The 1O0-yard dash for organized la
Dor men. was won by G. G. Beall in II
seconds, with II. Brown second. Miss
GIayds Perkins won the 5O-yard race
for girls under fourteen years of age.
with Pauline Chamberlin second. The
time was not recorded. There was a

Newman, with Mrs. r. SCribner second.
The mile race was captured by J. s.
Mark, with G. G. Beall second.
