In Big Meet

Arrayed in tartan shawls and phille-
bags and with sporrans glistening in
the sun. the members of the New York
Caledonian Club celebrated its sixty
second annual gala at Juniper Park.
Long Island, yesterday. A mixed pro-
gramme of amateur and professional
events made sport for those athletically
warmer or closer battle has ever been
seen on a local arena for the point
trophy.
This prize easily ranks with the bess
IN the metropolitan district and is in
the shape of massive silver loving
cup, worth 500, presented by Colonel
Walter Scott, an old member of the
Caledonian Club and a great enthusiast
over track and field sports.
The main contenders for the trophy
were the Pelham Bay Naval Station,
the Paulist Athletic Club and the Glen
coe Athletic Club, and they ran almost
neck and neck all through the pro
gramme. Until the last event, which
happened to be the running high jump,
Pelham Bay was in the van, but only
by few points, with possibility of
the others for victory in the last drive.
Toomey, Of the Paulists, hardy.
sorrel-topped performer, was equal to
the occasion, for he landed first place
and just nosed out Pelham Bay by q
solitary point, the Glencoes being a
close third. The scores were: Paulist
Athletic Club, 1s; Pelham Bay Naval
Station, II; Glencoe Athletic Club, Ia:
brooklyn Athletic Association. 8; unat-
tached, Z; Federal Rendezvous, 5; St.
Anselm's, s; Salem-Crescents and Mo
hawks, 3 each; Pastime Athletic Club
and st. Johns, 2 each.
OF the individual performers of the
afternoon the mantle easily fell to
Charley Pores, of the Pelham Bay
naval training station, who scored an
Impressive win from scratch in the
two-mile handicap and soon afterwa I'd
turned out and helped his team to win
in the Medley relay, which proved to
be the stiffest contests on the card.
Pores had matters all his own way in
the two mile, for when half the journey
had been left behind he was in the
lead, so he rested content with jogging
along in front, finally winning by half
lap.

hour with five frsts. Respondent in a
