ONE POINT IN TRACK
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Pittsfeld. May 22-Maine Central
Institutes snappy track team won
the dual track meet here from the
Bangor High outfit by the margin OF
one point. the final score being GO
81. The weather was Of the regula-
| ton spring 1923 drizzle variety but
the affair was an exciting meet and
| was a nip and tuck proposition from
| start to finish. Bangor had a little
! bit the edge in the track events but
when it came to the field events the
NJ. c. I. team took the big share.
| Seekins, Craig, Stitham, Lancaster
and Fuller were the high-liner for
the Pittsfield outfit and their won
derful work enabled NJ. c. I. to pull
through with victory although to
be sure it was tight squeeze.
! In the first number Of the program
| the 100-yard dash, Craig of M. &. j.
had close contest. with Smith Of
Bangor, just nosing him out by
about a yards win. Samway OF
Bangor was third. Mike Shannon of
! Bangor had no, trouble in swapping
up the mile run. Ragon and lib
belts finished second and third.
The high hurdles then held the
crowds interest and they offered
some pretty action and close COM
petition. Whittier and Kennedy
placed for Bangor in the trials with
Stitham and Tebetts for NJ. C. I.
| Whittier won the final heat with Teb-
bets and Stitham chasing him home.
Mike Shannon once again did his
! stuff this time running away with
the half mile, nobody else having a
look in Mike winning as he pleased.
Regain came second and Staples
picked UP another point for Bangor
taking third.
out the flyers again and Whittier
tried hard to land another first place
but Lancaster came home first after
a close brush. Craig was third.
! Jim Samway then gave the fans
in the grandstand something to
| cheer over, when he ran Tebbetts,
the NJ. c. /. star. off his feet in a
| gruelling dash in the $40. They
| battled neck and neck till the final
20 yards and then Tebbetts withered
Clay coming from behind and TAX
| ing second honors.
| Bruce Smith. the flying parson,
| was rather peeved over the 100 yard
dash and showed his heels to the
field in the 30. Fairbanks. was next
with Tebbetts trailing in the rear
! once again. This wound up the
track events and Bangor was lead
ing by nine points.
| The circle for the hammer throw
was the center of interest and it
sure was interesting, being nice slip
perry clay. Fuller was the best mud
horse and took the hammer. Con-
ners followed with the shot and
Staples came through in the discus.
| The pole vault. high and broad
| jumps were a parade for NJ. c. L.
and they cut down Bangor's lead to
one point, and only the relay was
| left. The NJ. c. I. runners were the
| fresher, however. and after a des-
! perate struggle Bangor lost out and
| NJ. c. l. was the victor.
