The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-05-27

| of Keene last year. castillo was Sec
ond and A. Manley of Brattleboro third
Moran ran beautiful race in the
high hurdles, clearing each obstacle
| without touching it and finishing before
any of the other runners had reached
the last hurdle, Is yards back. Stearns
| was again beaten in the last two strides,
this time by Hanley Of Rutland,
| Moran S time of 16 2-5 seconds sup
planted his own record of II seconds
made last year.
The javelin was a novelty to many of
the spectators Smith of st. Johns
bury was eheered Justify on winning
from Olney and Baldwin of Rutland.
The distance of 131 feet inches will
give future contestants a hard mark
to beat
Another record went by the boards
when Baldwin of Rutland threw the dis
Gus 80 feet 21a inches. Olney was sec
ond and Stearns third. The former rec
ord of 90 feet 6 inches was made bv
M. Haskell of Brattleboro in 1915.
The mile run brought out a field of
IL starters. Most of the bunch held up
well for the first half Then Mason Of
Keene shot to the front with Sullivan
of Rutland and Davis of Brattleboro
trailing. When Sullivan threw into
high he pulled away from Davis by 80
yards, and the latter was more than that
ahead of Mason. Again Sullivan secured
record by fraction, his time of
4.4S 40 cutting under Miners mile in
4.49 made in 1911.
Moran was picked to win the pole
vault, as in practice he has been close
to 10 feet, but four hard races did not
leave him in prime condition and Bell
rose of Rutland won at feet 4 inches,
an inch better than the marks made by
Moran last year and by Harris in 1914
Moran and Barrows of Brattleboro tied
for second and third places. At Moran S
request the medal was given to Bar
rows.
The 440 run brought the one hair
raising finish as fitting climax to the
program. Down the stretch Betterley
of Brattleboro was leading Hanley of
Rutland by inches. Ten feet from the
tape the struggle looked like dead
heat, but Hanley fell forward first and
won by inches only. Both boys were
so exhausted that they fell heavily.
Stearns was third. The time of 81 sec
onds, unusually slow, surprised every
body, as the pace had seemed to be
fast.
