WINS FROM GARDINER
IN FIRST DUAL MEET

In her first dual track meet with
Gardiner High school, Friday after
noon on Capitol Park, Cony was the
winner by an ample margin. scoring
1919 points against her opponents
81 Y. The attendance was uncXpcct-
edly large and the interest Of the au-
diencc was tense throughout all the
events. Almost perfect weather con-
ditions added 70 the general salts
faction. That the meet should be-
come a regular institution was the
and officials.
Nearly all the track events were
closely contested but in the field
events, without exception, Cony was
markedly superior. Cony's general
form was a happy surprise to her
supporters and TO Coach Thompson.
One of the most unexpected features
was George Martins work with the
12-pound shot. Although with obso-
lutely no previous experience with
the leaden sphere he made the cred
liable heave of 81 feet and one inch,
leading all competitors. Mobiles
winning of the mile run was another
success that had hardly been counted
upon. The high point winners of the
meet were George Martin, who
scored II by taking first in the shot
put and second in both the 10O-y yard
and 220-yard dashes, and Lawrence,
who won for Gardiner first place in
! both the 100-yard event and the
quarter mile, and third in the 220
yard dash. His work in the quarter
mile, which he covered in 56.4, was
one of the best performances of the
afternoon.
kenney. Cony's star in the jump
events, who but short time ago suf-
fered n fracture of the left arm-an
injury which it was believed would
eliminate him as a possibility in the
meet, gamely entered both the high
jump and the broad jump, and al
though heavily handicapped by his
injury, which compelled him to hold
his arm stiff1y in front of him, COW
cred himself with glory in both
events. In the high jump he outdid
! all but McGouldrick, a teammate, and
! ~ the broad jump he tied for second
place with the same contender.
Davis was in excellent form for the
broad jump, and had no difficulty in
taking first place.
Two OF the closest contests for first
place were between Lawrence and
Martin in the 100-yard dash, and be-
tween Slmons and Martin in the 22o,
IN each Of which the Gardiner run
ner was first to finish.
