Washington-Lee Highs speedy rep
resentatives from Arlington County,
Va, romped off with the honors in
the scholastic division of yesterdays
huge meet at College Park with a
total of "a points.
County laurels went to Bell Air
High of Hartford County with %
points, and Maryland, host to al
most 1000 youngsters at its annual
field day, showed the scholastics a
bit OF topnotch collegiate form by
running away from Washington and
Lee University in a dual meet,
77-49.
It was almost perfect day for
the Terrapins as Coach Burt Ship
ley's diamond crew came from
behind to win over Washington
College, 5-3, making it the second
time they have defeated the Shore
men. But the lacrosse match, high
light of a busy day, ruined the
happy ending. Baltimore Athletic
Clubs cagey veterans tossed three
goals into the net in the final period
to hand the host team 65 defeat
its first of the season.
Legg Sparkles for WI.
Getting back to the running
games. which served as preview
of The Evening Stars meet for
District A. A. u. championships
coming up Saturday at College Park,
1t was Wallace Legg, stout-hearted
WI. ace, who led his mates to
victory with richly deserved points.
Legg headed his field in three
events, shattering the 220-yard low
hurdle mark en- route, and finished
second in the broad jump for a
point score sufficient in itself to win
the meet.
He vaulted over the low hurdles
In Is seconds fiat, smashing the
mark of 258 seconds established by
Monroe Emmerick, of Tech. which
Legg equalled last year. His time
of 1912 seconds in the century was
good enough to take the event by
a comfortable margin. but did not
approach the long-standing record
of 98 seconds hung up by Brooke
Brewer in 1915. But Legg was not
pressed in the race, or he might
have done better.
Sharing honors with the modest
Arlington County boy was Dick
Parties of Newport News (VaD High,
who scared to new meet pole vault
record of IL feet, inches, bettering
the standard of II feet, inches
made by Alvin Webster of Harrison
burg, Va, in 1884. Parties narrowly
missed hosting his mark even higher
when the bar wavered uncertainty
and finally toppled off as he tried
o vault of u feet, 5 inches.
Terps at Best on Track.
Maryland, paced by Joe Murphy,
who Travelled the century in 10 sec
onds fat: Mason Chronister, Jim
Kehoe and the rest of its veteran
performers, outdistanced the Cen
erals by a wide margin in running
events, but barely nosed out the visi-
tors in the field,
Kehoe scored one of the after
Moons most brilliant victories, COM
ing from behind with great stretch
drive to nip Harvey in the 880-yard
run. His time of l minute, 54.3 Sec
onds was new meet record.
But the excitement was not con-
fined to the cinderpath. The dia-
mond team gave its supporters some
long, anxious innings before finally
banging out two runs to tie Wash
ington College at Sail in the sixth,
and two more in the eighth to win
Charley Weidinger started for the
Terps, was relieved by Dwyer, who
in turn, gave way to pinch-hltter
after toiling one round.
Pershing Mondorff went the last
four innings and gave the best ex-
hibition of relief tWirling witnessed
in this precinct in long time
Exactly II batters faced him and he
moved em down without the SEM
blance of hit.
Chumbris Starts Rally.
George Knepley opened the sixth
with a safe bunt, and moved to Sec
ond when Adam Bengochea success
fully pulled a hit-and-run play
Hugh Keller obligingly doubled down
the left-field line, scoring Knepley
and putting Bengochea on third
and the latter scored when john
son flied out to Crit Uric in left
1t was Shorty" Chumbris who
instigated the winning eighth-lnnlne
uprising with a well-hit double to
center. Knepley brought him over
with a single to the same sector
Knepley stole second on close play
and came the rest of the way on
Keller's bingle to center.
The lacrosse match was a heart
breaker for a team apparently head
ed for national honors, but Baltl-
more's ten richly earned its victory
thereby terminating a winning
streak that had reached the lucky
figure of seven.
Credit most of the laurels to Frank

timores cause appeared doomed
when Christhilf was banished from
the match in the final period for

who replaced him, stopped one shot
with neat finesse, and the day was
saved.
Taylor's Shot Decisive.
Herbie Brill scored the tying goal
with only few minutes of play re-

screen shot, and Jack Taylor
