F. A. EDMANDS.
The star athletes of the day were the Worcester men Edmands and Bascom Johnson. Edmands took first place in three events, the shot, the hammer, and the high hurdles—which, by-the-way, is exactly what Holt of Andover did in these same games last year. Johnson was not far behind Edmands in the number of points he scored. He took first in the high jump and the pole vault, and second in the quarter-mile run. Robinson, of whom Worcester expected so much, disappointed his schoolmates in not winning the 100. A little later, however, he redeemed himself by taking the quarter in the easiest kind of way in very good time.
In the low hurdles and broad jump Worcester produced a dark horse in Hersey. He is a promising young athlete, and ought to take some points at the New England Interscholastics on Friday. The mile walk was easy for Lockwood, who secured a big lead early in the race, and beat out his Andover opponents by fully a quarter of a lap. Jones, the new Andover sprinter, won both dashes with ease. He is a large powerful runner, and moves along the path in fine form. He has three years more in school, and will undoubtedly make a fine record for himself before he graduates.
On account of Gaskell's being unable to run in the half, Richardson, who took second in the mile last year, was put in there to represent Andover. He ran a good race and won. McPherson of Worcester was picked for first man in the mile, but Palmer of Andover outran him. He showed good head-work all the way around, and beat his pace-maker with a strong dash at the finish.
It is interesting to note that, excepting in the distance runs and the walk, the conditions this year in respect to winners of events were exactly reversed from that of last season, the case of Holt and Edmands being the most striking. Andover is strong in the sprints this year, but weak in field events, whereas Worcester, whose representatives made such a poor showing on the field last year, captured every turf event on this occasion.
The Connecticut interscholastics will be held next Saturday at New Haven on the Yale field instead of at Hartford as last year. There are three new members of the League—Black Hall, University School of Bridgeport, and Hopkins Grammar of New Haven—and their entries will materially affect the result.
With so much new material it is impossible to guess who will win the dashes, none of last year's point winners being in school. With the high hurdles it is the same, now that Cady has gone to Andover, but the low hurdles ought to go to Hotchkiss with Cheney. Foster of Bridgeport H.-S. and Luce of Hartford H.-S. will have a close race in the quarter. In the half Bassett of New Britain ought to win in time pretty close to 2.05.
The mile will bring out a great many new men, and at the present writing there is no one of great enough promise to claim it in advance. Tichbourne of Hillhouse ought to take the walk. Lyman of Hotchkiss and Strong of Hartford will have a hard fight for first place in the bicycle event. Sturtevant of Hartford should take the high jump, with Goodwin of Hotchkiss second. The broad jump is claimed by a dark horse from the University School, of Bridgeport. In the pole vault Paulding of Black Hall will have to do his best to defeat Sturtevant. The latter defeated Paulding at the Yale games of May 2 with a leap of 10 ft. 4¾ in., but Paulding can go higher than that.
C. W. BEGGS, JUN.,
Winner of the Princeton Interscholastic Tennis Tournament.
Ingalls of Hartford High seems to have a pretty sure thing of it in the hammer and shot. At the Hartford H.-S. games a week ago Saturday he threw the 16-pound hammer 113 ft. 6½ in., and put the same weight shot 36 ft. 1 in. At these games Luce took the 100-yard in .10-2/5. If he can repeat this performance Saturday he ought to take that event.
The Princeton Interscholastic Tennis Tournament was won again this year by Lawrenceville. The victor was C. W. Beggs, Jun., who won the Chicago Interscholastic Tennis Tournament last year. He has been doing a good deal of track-athletic work this spring, and it had hardly been hoped by Lawrenceville that he could pull out first honors in tennis; nevertheless, he went in strongly at Princeton a week ago Saturday, and earned the privilege of representing that association at Newport in August. The runner-up, H. Little, as well as the winners of third and fourth places, H. Richards, Jun., and J. P. Kellogg, are Lawrenceville men.
Although forty or fifty schools had been invited to the Princeton tournament, not more than six were represented on the courts. Next year, however, it is probable that there will be a much larger representation. In the preliminary round McMillan of the Princeton Preparatory School defaulted to Richards, Lawrenceville, who defeated King, New York Military Academy, 6-1, 6-1, in the first round. Kellogg, Lawrenceville, beat Musselman, N.Y.M.A., 6-4, 4-6, 6-4; Beggs beat Cook, Hackettstown Institute, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4; and Little, Lawrenceville, beat Trump, Kiskiminetas School, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, making a clean sweep for Lawrenceville in the first round.
In the semi-finals Beggs beat Richards, 6-4, 6-0; and Little beat Kellogg, 8-6, 6-3. In the finals Beggs won from Little, 7-5, 6-1, the third set being defaulted. Outside of the Lawrenceville players, Cook of Hackettstown Institute was decidedly the best man, and shows considerable promise. Beggs won handily over the other Lawrenceville men, and is probably the best tennis-player Lawrenceville has ever had. The fact that there are thirty tennis-courts on the school grounds, and that there exists a regulation for compulsory play, brings out every year some very fair material, and serves also to develop good men like this year's champion, who may come to Lawrenceville from other schools.
PRINCETON INTERSCHOLASTIC TENNIS CUP.
Won by Lawrenceville.
The silver cup, of which a picture is given herewith, is now the property of Lawrenceville School, having been won for three successive years—in 1893, by J. H. Smith; in 1894, by S. G. Thomson, now one of Princeton's best tennis men; and in 1895, by M. G. Beaman, now at Harvard. This cup was offered by the Princeton Lawn-Tennis Association. The cup now being competed for has been offered by Mr. T. E. McVitty, of Bryn-Mawr, a graduate of Lawrenceville. The conditions under which it is offered for competition are the same as those of the previous cup, but this trophy is far handsomer than the first.
The Inter-Academic League's Tennis Tournament was held in Philadelphia, on the Belmont Cricket Club grounds. J. K. Willing, of De Lancey, was the winner, defeating S. H. McVitty, also of De Lancey, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3, in the finals. Willing will probably go to Newport in August to represent the Inter-Academic League. This will be the first time that the Philadelphia schools have sent a representative to the national tournament.
