Norwich bulletin., 1914-09-21

The fifth annual field day given by the Pinochle club was held Saturday afternoon on the ball grounds on Prov idence street. The day was perfect for the events and everything was run off in tiptop order. The event that caused much enjoyment and laughter was the climbing of the greased pole for a dollar pinned on the top. Several boys attempted to get the. prize, but failed. The Poyerd brothers. who have the hohor. of capturing this event for the last three years. after many fruit less attempts, succeeded in mailing it after bitter struggle. The young 7 sters would get almost within reach oi the prize and then they would slip and slide to the foot.
 In the big race, two miles, J. D. Nolan, Jr., carried away the honors, easily tapping practically everyone. The 100 yard dash was close and ex- citing, between Chick La Mander and E. Lambert of Baltic, who pushed La Aisnder hard, and lost the race by a very few feet.
 One of the closest events of the af- ternoon was the one mile race for boys | under 15 years of age. The young as- pirants started off full of vigor and hopes at quite a pace. but the laps told | their pace. In the last three laps there was a dead tie between w Nolan, PeltIer and C. Donahue, and on | tEe final lap W. Nolan succeeded in
 pulling away from the other two. win-
 ming the race. c. Donahue took sec- | end prize. -. l The mile relay, composed of teams from Baltic. Greeneville and the Nor | wich Y. M. c. A., in which the latter
