to cater especially to athletes in this
immediate section. without any par
ticular thought of drawing the big stars
of trackdom. That thought was very
popular with local athletes and with
athletes in and around Baltimore, be-
cause II gave them chances in compe-
tition that was fairly even. There is
a place for the meet in the local ath-
letlc calendar, and the intention to
make 1t an annual affair will be hailed
with delight by all interested in track
sports.
Competition Close.
II University of Maryland and East
ern High, winners, respectively, Of team
trophies in the open events and for
high schools, had been eliminated, the
competition would have been, from q
team point of view, just about as cloee
as possible.
Only 3 points separated the lowest
from the second place team in the open
events, and 5 the lowest from the second
place squad in the scholastic. But
even with Maryland and Eastern win
ming In their respective classes, the
competition between individuals was
close
Probably the best performances of the
night were those by Fouts of Maryland
in the open pole vault and Jenkins OF
Eastern in the high Jump. Feuts vault
ed IL feet inches to win the event
then called it day. Jenkins in the
scholastic high jump cleared the bar
ut feet 10k inches. Remsberg'g SIS
seconds for the quarter in the open
events was good performance on q
small indoor track with sharp turns.
Maryland athletes were by far in the
van In the open events. They ran up
q total Of 3b points to win as they
pleased, the squad representing the
Baltimore Police Department failing to
show the stern competition expected of
it. Maryland scored in seven Of the
eight open events. Eastern did not get
so much of a margin in the class for
high schools, but it did show decided
superiority over its opponents.
Brothers in Tight Race.
One Of the interesting condolences
Of the meet was the fact that the best
competition In the dashes was between
two brothers, Bob Quinn Of Maryland
and Reds Quinn Of Tech. The Mary
land man won the final of the event,
but got across the line only inches ahead
of the Tech brother. The MarylAnder
would have had hard time at the
breakfast table this morning If the high
school boy had whipped him. Kinna-
mon, Linzey and Remsberg three MEM
berS of the Maryland relay team, won
their events without difficulty.
Georgetown'S mile relay team raced to
victory in New York last night in the
knights of Columbus games, winning
from Syracuse, while its two-Hnile four
lost to New Yor university. The Blue
and Gray mile four turned in a really
brilliant performance, covering the dis
lance In Just a fraction over minutes
% seconds. ANY time mile relay does
its Job in that time it is stepping over
the boards. Hardly more than two or
three races in q season see that mark
bettered Sexton and Kjelstrom, other
Blue and Gray athletes entered, failed
to win.
1t might be mentioned that Ray Con-
ger, former Iowa State College star,
turned in the fastest mile race Of the
year when he beat DR.. Paul Martin of
Switzerland in fraction over minutes
is seconds. The Polish star, Petkie-
wicz, who was expected to be q COM
petttor In this mile event, decided not
to run, notwithstanding the court
granted an injunction to prevent the
Amateur Athletic Union interfering
with his appearance. Probably fear OF
; what might happen afterward kept the
Pole out Of the competition, as the
Amateur Athletic Union most asSuredly
would have kept him barred had he
: failed to adhere to its edict.
