the 40 scholastic, in addition to taking
first in the fifty scholastic and second
in the open fifty, had he not fallen. On
the second lap Maxam took heavy
tumble near the finish and lost fifteen
yards. He was running strong when
the event ended and had he not lost
those yards would have been a certain
winner.
There were several surprises in the
meet as whole. The Baltimore Cen

Boston A. A. runners in it's squad, took
first place in the competition for the
open point trophy, and the .two-mile
