cellent form on "Wednesday evening.

when he romped home first i'm the
century dash. winning over Smith, OF

ond while Jones of the Y. NJ. c. A.

mer Dickinson track star and held the

Norous. OF the Y NJ. c. 4. starred

high jump the night before and
finished first in the ,mile-run. This
distance runner showed fine form and
on the finish OF the three mile run
showed nice sprint. He was given a
good hand for his showing. Potocki,
a sixteen year old lad of the Polish

To finish the hard grind. but he sur
prised the dopesters, nd although he
was Tapped he kept up his work until
the end. showing a sprint at the
finish. The spectators gave him fine

The final event of the evening, the
mile-reiay race provided the treat of
the evening and before it was over,
every one of the spectators in the
stands was standing. A. August. a
brother Of Ray August, and repre-
ssnting the same organization, was
on Of the stars of this event. He
ran second for his team and showed
one of the finest bursts of speed of
the meet, when he romped in to pass
his baton with ten yard lead. Smith,
of du Pont accounting. ran a great
race for his team and his work re-
suited in the team finishing in sec
ond place, for on his start. he was
running third and a short distance be
hind the second man.
The crowd last night was small, not
f,s ,rE
ance. The threatening weather may
have kept some people from attend
ing. but il is the hope of the pro-
moters of the track sports that more
interest will be displayed in the future.
Another meet will be held sometime
during August. The exact date viii
be announced later.
Considerable enthusiasm was dis
played at the meet last night and the
are that considerable '.pep"
has been aroused in track sports so
that In the future there will be more
attention paid 10 this branch. The
showing of the st. Mary's organiza-
tion. under Tommy" Naylor was con-
sidered axcellent and the chances are
that with some more training that this
club would make things lively for
some Of the best teams in the city.
