TORRANCE IN ANNUAL ATH-
LETJc EVENTS At PARK.


The second annual A. G. L. athletic
meet was pulled OF last Saturday
afternoon at, the ball park. Fully 500
persons attended the contest and 1t
was more successful than last year by
far in the way of records. The events
we're run off quickly SO that the whole
meet, including thirty-three events,
took but two hours.
A number Of good records were
made. Perhaps the most outstanding
was tho board Jump. In tho 80 pound
class, Johnston of the Ftankiyn made
distance of IA feet 10 inches. In
the eighth grade, OBrien of the Doug
las, made the record Of 16 feet, inch.

In the high Jump Won Schrader
cleared tho pole for feet, 8 inches.
A hne record for junior meet Good

except tho ITO pound division which
fell down to 3 feet, 10 inches.
+ Weber and Cation were the leaders
In the IS pound class. Both helped to
bring their school up to first place.
LADS MAKE GOOD SHOWING.
The two real rivals Of the meet
were Renfro Of tho Emergency and
Wheaan of the St1zrt eighth grade. In
the so yard dash each made the dis
lance in seconds and in the 100
yard they tied with . time at ~
Renfro, the colored lad, had the bet
Ter az he took Arst In the broad jump
and second in tho high jump for his
class A race between these two
young athletes would surely prove in
teresting.

seventh grade division there were
four places which were contested by
two schools and in the eighth grade
INST place was tied. The pennants
