a hard race against Reading High,
Radnor High and Norristown High,
the Cherry and White boys on Satur-
day pulled third place at the annual

muddy condition OF the track, he made
a great sprint at the finish of his dou-
bic furlong and sent Mertz away in
first position. He got away with a
good start and held his place for the
hrst 220 yards, when the Reading
High representative passed him. From
here to the finish of the other 900, il

course. there are crowds of half baked
individuals who are ready 10 tell him
that he is right. AS a matter or fact,
these things are not works Of art; they
are feeble lmpertinences. To those who
