ATHLETICS
SEASON OPENED AT RUGBY PARK GOOD MUSTER OF JUNIOR COMPETITORS The amateur athletic season opened at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon with the first of a series of handicap meetings. As was to be expected with many men away serving with' the armed forces, there was a smaller number of seniors competing, but this decrease was fully made up in the junior section, which was well filled. Taken as a whole, the attendances were most satisfactory, and show promise of further increase during the season. The track, which had been watered during the week, was in good order, and times for the most part were good, especially as it was the first meeting of the season.
