TEAM WINNER
IN LOCAL MEET
BY Innis Brown.

I bidNE0 L4lG Sizzling rays OF Il
July sun at Piedmont Park Fri
day morning TO watch the first field
m5et pulled off by the Fairgrounds
Committee of city parks. In one or
two of the events they were repaid
fer their bravery, and the fact that
larger number did not beat a hurried
retreat to the waters of Piedmont
lake is evidence Of the fact that there
is rea. local interest in such athletic
events.
A .arse number Of entrants had
been registered for the various events
However. the broiling sun. no doubt
caused many Of these to change their
minds. even after they had reached
the scene. This was especially true in
the running events, and accounts for
the fact that more starters did not
toe the mark.
In the l0O-yard dash. the openiDg
event, Hill, of the Athletic Club. came
home ahead Of a good margin In
fact, he held the field we'll enough in
hand to look back over his shoulder
as he reached the tape. Brannen. also
Of the Athletic Club, ran second. and
clubmate Allen took third. A large
number We're carded to go in this
race, but all save four or five were
scratched
40 Is Great Race.
The quarter mile run furnished the
best contest of the meet Four con-
testants entered, but within the first
100 yards the race had narrowed
down to Allen and Locke. both of the
Athletic Club. The former reached
the finish first by a step, the time
being 81 2-5 seconds
Locke came back in the half-mile
event, winning as he pleased. Five
men faced the starter, and by the
time the first turn was reached Locke
had opened up a nice lead, which he
improved all the way. He finished 80
yards ahead Of the field. without ex-
tending himself Jarvis came in sec
ond, with Weaver third

more than a foot West, Of the Fifth
Regiment, came second with a put of

Torrance with a lead of 20 PAGES. He
