Gardiner. June THE Orange and
Black track team swamped Cony to-
day on Quimby Field, piling up a grand
total Of IS points to Cony's 40. Gardi-
ner annexed all the first places except
the mile, the shot and the discus, Cony
being especially strong In the weights;
but Tim Hickey and Hildreth managed
to get away with second and third
places in the shot while the discus
went to Cony entirely. Dale and Nor
rell had the dashes all to themselves,
each coping one, Morrell besting the
speedy Deak by a slight margin in the
thrilling finish of the 220. The mile
soon narrowed down to Lishness of
Cony and Leighton of Gardiner, and
these two fought out their long-waited-
for race. Lishness coming through in
grand style and winning A deserved
victory over the Gardiner man.
Dale took one jump in the broad
lump and this was enough to win the
event easily, with Blaisdell, the fresh
man star, counting for second. Captain
Bill Howell of Cony ran a wonderful
race in the $50, but even his grit could
not rob Captain Merrill Danforth of
his coveted victory. Macdonald came
through in his usual style, coping
three firsts, both hurdles, and succeed
ed in setting up new record in the
high jump. going over with 1eet .
inches, upsetting the mark made ny
Horace Hildreth. Captain Danforth
went out and copied first in the 440,
and when considered that he had al
ready won great victory IN the eoo'
this was quite a stunt
AS usual, Dale was high point man
of the meet with is points. Macdonald
running a close second with 10, while
Captain Danforth Contributed 10
points. This trio with Morrell ended
