KEEP ENTRY LISTS
 OPEN 10 FRIDAY
Eight Athletes Are Already Signed Up for Industrial Meet

The officials in charge of the first Industrial Track and Field meet of this city which will be run off Sat urday afternoon at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park. decided yes- ttrdSS to extend the time of tiing entries for the events until Friday. This change was caused by the fact that the entries had not come in from all the departments in the fac tories and those interested in the af- fair in the factories had not the time to gather all the entries. Requests were received from seV- eral of the factories asking for an- other day so that all the entries might be listed and after q brief dis cusson, those in charge of the meet decided to allow entries to be filed until Friday night.
 Landcrs, Frary & Clark has gone into this meet probably on larger scale than any other factory. En- tries are being filed from every de- pertinent in the entire plant and all though they are not all in yet it is expected that this factory will have | the largest numher of entries.
 Swimming Pool Open
 The park board at its meeting Tuesday night, voted to keep the municipal swimming pool at the l park open until after the meet so ] that the woman's event of 50 yard swim. could be run off. This is a good move on the part of the park board and will be received with joy by those who have been frequenting the pool all summer long.
 The cinder track and the jumping pits are also in good condition and cmployes of the park board will be kept busy until Saturday keeping the track and the pits in good con- dition awaiting their use on Satur- day. Added bleachers will be in- stalled at the park for the benefit of the public and every comfort and convenience will be afforded those who attend the meet.
 The first events will be run off at o'clock daylight saving time and the program of events will be fol- lowed out as closely as possible. There will be, 1t is expected, close to 200 entries for the events all told and the entries for the open events are coming in especially strong. A full tabulation of thoses entered in the meet, will not be given until Saturday because of the fact that the time for closing the entries has been extended.
