Big Point Score at Bronx A.
G. Championship Games.

outdistanced all rivals in the struggle
for titular team honors at the annual
championship games of the Bronx Ath-
letic League at Macombs Dam Park
yesterday They rolled up total of 80
points. as against SO for their nearest
rivals, the st. Anselm's A. c. represent
atives. The Mohawk's road to victory
was made particularly smooth after the
representatives of the Pastime A. c. re-
fused to compete because the officials of
the league declined to include in the
programme of events a contest for
throwers of the thirty-five pound weight.
The officials explained that the request
OF the Pastime men had been denied
because II would have given them an
unfair advantage over their opponents.
Only one competitor of the many who
tried for prizes scored two victories. He
was Vincent Lally Of st. Anselm's A. c.
Lally gained his gold medals in the
quarter mile run and 220 yard dash
respectively Both victories were hard
earned Inches only separated first and
second men In each event. Fine finish
| ing sprints carried Lally to the tape In
advance of his opponents
| The most versatile performer was j.
| Erbal. Erbal, who is q recent addition
| to the Mohawk A. c. via the Orange
| Y. NJ c. A, competed In four events
and earned prizes In each. His great
est strength was developed In the run
| ming high jump and the running hop
! stem and lump. in both of which he
cleared so much more ground than his
1 fellow competitors that he was awarded
