Three thousand people aaw Mult nomah, walk off yesterday with .he greatest championship athletic meet ever held In the northwest The new Multnomah field was fairly fast and though but one world record was ap proached some good time for this sec tion was made In the different events. Multnomah won the meet by the largest number of points a northwest event has ever been taken by. Her nearest competitor was the University of Oregon, which had less than half the number' of polnta and about one fourth thf cntrloa. - - The only event of national import ance was t lie great showing of For rest Smithson in the hurdles. Although the track was poor and he was com pelled to make an unusually sharp tura to finish the Multnomah star cams within one fifth of a second of the world s record held by A. C. Kransllen in 1900. Smithson was In great shape for the race and under favorable clrcum. stances would have undoubtedly set a new mam. mis new coast record Is not ' of f ioial, because the aecond hurdle toppled over. 1 The meet started off with the 100 yard dash, which was run in threa heats. Smithson won the first heat in 10 seconds flat and Huston won the seconj in iu i-o seconds. Martin waa an easy second In this heat, but Mult nomah wanted to save him for the 220. so he did not run in the finals. Huston naa mue trouoie winning tlie nnal beat of the race from Smithson and Gear hardt in 10 1-5 seconds. In the 220-yard dash Martin for Multnomah, whom everybody expected to win the race on his previous records, was unplaced and t a close finish Qear hardt for the Olympic club crossed the tape first w(th Mak-olmson of Seattle Athletic club second by a few feet, and Moon or Oregon third. Time, 0:22 2-5. One of the prettiest races of the day was the 440-yard dash, which Green haw of O. A. C., running under the col ors or Munnoman, took alter a bard struggle from Andy Glarner of the OU'Diplo club in the very good time of 61 8-6 seconds. The track was fully a second slow in this event. Greenhaw started out to win from the first Jump. At the turn Glarner sprinted Into a short lead which he held until the run ners reached the home stretch, when the O. A. C. sprinter began to overhaul him. The Olympian responded to Green haw's challenge but was unable to maintain the fierce pace set by the collegian and he was passed and de feated within a few feet of the finish. Gish, of Seattle Athletic club waa third. Glarner's running was handi capped by his spiked ankle, which oc curred in the 880-yard event. The 880-yard dash was easy for the Olympic games champion, Glarner, who took the lead at the first turn and running leisurely drew out In the sec ond lap and won by a margin of 80 yards. Davolt, for Multnomah was sec ond and Gamrnle for the local club suc ceeded In getting third place. The time was very slow even for the track. The men with the watches caught the race in 2:04. Much disappointment was felt by the spectators and the athletes be cause Edmundson, the University of Idaho star, could not come down for the meet. Had the Idahoan started Glarner might not have had so much time to dawdle. Glarner was severely spiked right at the start of this event but stayed with the running. Idle Is Feature. The great feature of the day was the mile-run and so close was the fin ish that it took the Judges 16 minutes to decide who had won. After much deliberation they finally announced Da volt, for Multnomah, the winner with Clark of Seattle Athletlo club, aecond. Davolt has the honor of winning the fastest mile that has been run in the northwest this year but his victory does not take away any of the glory earned by the game lad of the Tacoma High school by his heartbreaking sprint in the last lap. So exciting was the struggle that the spectators rose to their feet and burst into (encouraging cheers as the boy f roml the sound began to shorten the load held by his older rival. The sprint began In the last lap. Da volt had gained a lead of 86 yards In the first three quarters of a mile and the field was strung out behind him. As the runners rounded the turn for the laat Ian Clarke suddenly shot forward and Davolt began to sprint at the same time. When the two men rounded into the stretch they were almost neck nvV and each waa making the ef fort of his life. Perhaps an Inch sep arated them at the finish and the crowd yelled "dead heat" This some of the Judges were in favor of but at least thnm caua-ht the Multnomah man In front and Davolt was given Smithson was a disappointment In the 820 hurdles, as he failed to get a Dlace In the preliminaries and Malcolm aon of Seattle ahowed hla mettle by taking the final heat of the .hurdles from Huston in a pretty finish, the race being undecided until after both men had cleared the last hurdle. Price, for Tacoma High school waa third In this event The time was 26 1-6. Captain Kuykendall of Oregon won the broad Jump, with a leap of 21 feet, 114 Inches. Smithson of Multnomah was second and Chapman of Multnomah third. Chaoman waa the best hla-h lumper. Ha won the event clearing the bar at 5 feet 9 incnea. juounsoerry was second and Smithson third.

Gilbert the former Mult nomah man and now world's champion. This record still stands at 11 feet 7 44. inches, as Lanagan could not raise, it The plucky Olympian, however, cleared the bar at 11 feet and came so close to getting over the same bar at 11 feet 8 inches that the crowd on the stands gave him . a , hearty round of applause. Another surprise was in store for the Subtle in the discus. Phllbrook, the ltercolleglate champion of the north west, was regarded as a sure winner of this event and he was expected to break his own record of 181 feet and 6 Inches made at Seattle in the dual meet be tween Whitman and the- University of Washington this spring. rmiorooK had met Bants oerore in this event and vanauished him. but the Washington man turned the tablea yes- teraay arternoon, tnrowing tne Dig disc 181 feet 8 Inches. Philbrook was sec- and with a throw of 118 feet 8 inches. Gillls 'of Vancouver Athletlo took third place with a mark of 107 feet 8 Inches.

The grammar school relay of four fifths of a mile brought out nearly 60 young athletes, who were eager to win the beautiful relay cup for their schools. Twelve teams of four men each went into the event Hawthorne school, which won the IS mile relay race from Oregon City to Portland recently, again bringing home the cup. The first run ner gave his teammates a lead which was never threatened, and the last man led to the tape by a comfortable margin. Ladd school was second, and Montavllla third; time, 3:09 3-6. The winning team was composed of the following boys: Flaherty, Ostrander, Reslng and Everest The Ladds were Jackson, Caterlin, Van Zant and Hutcheson.

The final event of the meet the senior relay of four flftha of a mile, which was expected to be a close race between Seattle and Multnomah, waa another disappointment aa the sound team withdrew on account of Injuries' to ona of its team.
