Championship Shield to Otago

CAMERON SCORES FOUR WINS

Boot’s Brilliant Double

Tapley’s Fast 100 Yards

Saturday was a great day for Otago, track and field athletics, for after a lapse of 30 years the Championship Shield was won by the representatives of this province for only the third time and this in the face of very strong competition. - Otago previously won the shield in 1906, and in 1899 the Dunedin Amateur Athletic Club was successful. Canterbury, reputed to be fielding the strongest team that ever left the province, assailed Otago strongly throughout, but the final tally gave the home centre 53 points, Canterbury totalling 42, Hawke’s Bay-Poverty Bay 27, Wellington 11, Auckland (last year’s winners) 5, and West Coast (North Island) 2. The Queensland Memorial Shield is awarded for most points in records and standards, but until the council considers the various performances possession of this trophy can,not be decided. Tentatively, however, Canterbury holds a one-point advantage over Otago. Despite the dull, overcast skies and light rain that fell at intervals during the afternoon, more than 5,000 spectators attended Carisbrook for what proved to be one of the most successful and best organised meetings yet held in the Dominion. The stirring opening ceremony and impressive parade of athletes (which have already been described) were a fitting overture to a meeting that will long be remembered for the many outstanding performances registered and for some of the most thrilling finishes seen at the championships in years. During the two days, one New Z.ealand'record was broken, this honour going to Canterbury, whose 3min 34sec in the , mile relay was one and two-fifths seconds better than the existing mark. P. P. Sharpley equalled the records in the 120 yards hurdles and 220 yards low hurdles, and A. A. Cameron bettered the best New Zealand; performance in the discus throwing. The grand parade of athletes earned with it the Speight Cup, contested for the first time, and this was won by Otago, whose large team made a very fine showing indeed..

The meeting went with a swing from start to finish, the events were run off well up to time, and the whole programme reflected the sxiccess of the complete organisation of the Otago Centre's president (Mr G. L. Tapley) and his band of assistants. A special word of praise' is due to Mr L. R. M'Millan, whose duties as Press steward were carried out excellently. The tracks were in very fine order indeed, a credit to the groundsman (Mr Alex Ross), and had the weather been fine would nave been very fast. There was an almost complete absence of wind, what slight breeze there was, though behind the sprinters, having no appreciable effect upon performances. SHARPLEY'S BRILLIANT HURDLING. P. F. Sharpley, a very fine performer indeed, repeated his double of 1934 by winning the 120yds hurdles and the 220yds low hurdles' titles, and in each case the Hawke's Bay-Poverty Bay representative equalled the existing records, his times being 15.2 sec and 25.65ec respectively. Owing to a slight fall in the track, the 120yds hurdles mark is unlikely to be recognised, but as there was almost a dead calm when the event was decided and the track was soft and slippery the merit of the performance may be gauged. Sharpley shows wonderful speed between the sticks, and has a good action, and on a dry day he should be capable of breaking 15sec with ease, especially with a slight improvement in his arm action. The record is at present held jointly by H. E. Wilson (Wellington) and B.■ W. Lander (Otago), and the latter was an official at Saturday's 'meeting. •'_ He remarked on Saturday that the timewas overdue when a New Zealander should break 15sec, but he was satisfied . Sharpley . would be the man to do it. _.The 220yds low hurdles record of 25.65ec, which Sharpley equalled, was established by F. A. Finlayson, of Auckland, at last year's championships, but since then both Sharpley and Finlayson have done 25.45ec, • time which has yet to be passed by the New Zealand Council. The field rose to a fine start in the 120yds hurdles event, and the Otago champion, H. W. Milner, and Sharpley were together over the first obstacle, with P. T. Bowie* (Wellington) only inches behind. It was anybody's -race with half the distance covered, but Sharpley began to draw away from the others, and won by three yards from Bowie, to former titleholder, who beat Milner by a yard. Milner at the third last hurdle appeared to falter, and lost his stride, dropping back a little. The 220yds low hurdles saw the downfall of another titleholder, F. A. Finlayson (Auckland) running as if he "were stale, Before the final was contested, J. D. Nelligan (Canterbury) and H. D. Ramsay (Otago) ran off to find the fastest second man for a qualifying place in the final, and Nelligan won in the closest of finishes; The final resulted in ah even more decisive win for Sharpley than the 120yds event. He led into the straight from E. P. Newburgh (Canterbury), Nelligan, and Finlayson. Newburgh had the misfortune to fall as he came over the last hurdle, and Nelligan finished second, five yards behind Sharpley, with Finlayson in third place four yards back. The 440yds hurdles was a popular win for J. D. Nelligan, the 1933 champion, A. T. Anderson, falling after crossing the last hurdle when he was in a leading position. Nelligan and J. Gfrken (Otago) were having a tussle for what appeared would be second place, and the title-holder, Finlayson, was out of it. When Anderson fell, Nelligan quickly ran to the front, and though Gerken endeavoured to muster up a

sprint he had done his best, and Nelligan won by 4yds in 57sec. _ Anderson beat Gerken by a yard to give Canterbury first and second points, SPILLANE RETAINS HAMMER TITLE. The hammer-throwiing title has been in Otago’s possession since 1932, and the two best exponents with the 161 b implement that New Zealand has yet produced were away out in a class of their own on Saturday, these being M. R. Spillane and J. G. Leckie (Otago). Leckie gave the title-holder a great go, being only 2ft Sin behind the winner. Spillane got in some very accurate turns and although the slippery surface was a Handicap he threw 150 ft li in which was only 3ft 3Jin below his “ best performance , by a New Zealander.” Spillane registered his fourth successive win, and his amazing consistency is shown by the fact that he has done 150 ft or better on all but one occasion —when he was only short of that mark. Leckie’s throw of 147 ft BJin for second place was only 4in short of the best throw he has recorded in a national event, this being when he won in 1932 at Auckland. BOOT’S OUTSTANDING ABILITY. Following his brilliant mile victory in 4min 22.8 sec with a convincing win in the half-mile championship in Imin 55.45ee, V. P. Boot (Canterbury) stamped himself as one of the most outstanding middle-distance runners New Zealand has ever produced, and one whose immediate future prospects may possibly engage the consideration of the New Zealand Olympic Council. Boot’s style has improved since ho was here for the New Zealand University championships last Easter, and while there is room still for further improvement, he apparently Has such a great store of reserve strength at his comand that there is no telling to what heights he will yet attain. It is certain that, under favourable conditions on a dry track, he would have easily shattered the New Zealand Halfmile record of Imin 54.8 sec, and also have got under 4.20 for the mile. It is rather remarkable that the Timaru Boys’ High School should have produced two such middle-distance runners as J. E. Lovelock and V. P. Boot in the same decade, and fitting, too, that Boot, as the winner of the mile, should become the holder of the Lovelock Challenge Cup, awarded by the New Zealand Council to commemorate Lovelock’s performance in breaking the world’s mile record. The half-mile narrowed itself down to a struggle for supremacy between Boot, T. G. Broadway (Canterbury), and T. Allen (Otago) after the first quarter had been covered, but it was apparent that in the first quarter L. C. M'Lachlan (who held this title in 1929) was out to make the pace for Allen in the hope that Broadway and Boot would be shaken off. M'Lachlan carried out his part, and the first quarter was left behind in the clinking time of 55see. M'Lachlan then withdrew, and Allen moved to the front, closely followed by Broadway and Boot. The Otago champion strode well along the back straight, Broadway being on his heels, a couple of yards ahead of Boot. At the furlong mark Broadway challenged Allen, and lengthenening out a little Boot went with him and passed Allen at the bottom of the back stretch. Boot came fast round the bend and led into the straight to finish strongly five yards ahead of Broadway, the ex-champion being 10 yards ahead of Allen. H. J. Eaton passed C. Wyeth in the straight, the Wellington men finishing fourth and filth respectively. I. Craig (Otago) finished well back. In both races Boot displayed admirable judgment.

CAMERON'S PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE. The outstanding field athlete of the meeting was A. A. Cameron, whose phenomenal performance of winning four championships stamps him as New Zealand's greatest all-rounder and one of its best of all time. In every instance his performances were of real championship class, as the following figures indicate:—Discus throwing, 139 ft 3iir. (best New Zealand performance) ; long jump, 22ft 6Jin; shot putt, 39ft Oiin; and hop, step, and jump, 48ft 3Jin. , . , , Cameron's win in the triple leap was a remarkable effort, for under conditions most adverse for hop, step, and jumping, he registered the best performance ever put up in a National championship event, the previous best being H. K. Brainsby's 48ft 2Jin. Brainsby holds the best New Zealand performance of 49ft Bfin, but on a firm ground on Saturday Cameron would have done over 49i't. As it was, he was sinking into the turf at every hop and step. Second place in the hop, step, and jump went to T. C. Morrison (Canterbury), the Timaru man doing 45ft Sin, which would have been good enough to win the event seven or eight years ago. Morrison, who filled third place in this event last year, is the well-known Rugby three-quarter who took part in the All Black trials. In the shot putt championship the issue was confined largely to the Otago men, A. A. Cameron and_ J. M. Stewart, and it is an interesting commentary that both are country athletes, Cameron being a member of the North Otago Club and Stewart a recently reinstated athlete from Gore. Stewart pushed Cameron very closely, doing 38ft llin. Cameron showed more style than Stewart, but with experience the latter should soon be doing over 40ft. AUCKLAND'S ONLY WIN. There were no surprises in the javelin throwing championship, but it marked Auckland's only success of the meeting, and a meritorious one it was, too. C. P. Clegg hurling the spear to a distance of 195 ft lliin, which was 10ft 6Jin below S. A. Lay's best recognised New Zealand performance. With the style and dash shown by Clegg it is reasonable to assume that he will soon be in the 200i't class. In gaining second place W. R. Creeser registered a very good throw of 170 ft lin, which was 9iin below what he did when he brought the title to Otago in 1933. The standard in the high jump was very low;, due partly perhaps to the slippery take-off. But what the event lacked in this respect was offset possibly by the keen struggle that ensued between the three place-getters. These were the titleholder, T. J. Crowe, who cleared sft llin last 3'ear, and who has shown good form in Wellington this season; W. D. Borrie (Otago), the New Zealand University champion; and F. R. Askin (Canterbury). Each cleared sft 6in, and all failed at sft f)in. The bar was lowered again, and Crowe, the only one to get over sft 6in. gained first place. There followed a close struggle for second place, the bar moving downwards and upwards again until finally i it reached sft 7in, where Askin failed I and Borrie got over. Thus the unusual happened, and in taking second place | Borrie actually cleared a greater height than the winner. Crowe employed the western roll and Borrie used a scissor style with an inclination towards the eastern cut-off, TAPLEY'S BRILLIANT RUN. The 100yds is always regarded as one of the classic events of a New Zealand championship programme, but before Saturday it had been won only twice by Otago representatives. F. Meenan was the first holder of the title, recording 10.250 cin 1887-88. In 1912 R. E. Egglestou© won at Invercargill in 10.6s€C After his fine performance in winning his heat in lOsec the Otago champion, B. L. Tapley, was favoured strongly for the final, and he did not disappoint his supporters, his performance in again doing " evens " on a r&in-soaked track being one of the most brilliant of the meeting. Tapley ran an excellent race and thoroughly deserved his win, which, naturally, was one of the most popular of the afternoon. The field'was sent away to a good start, and Tapley was very smart in leaving the holes, being quickly into his stride and establishing a slight advantage over G. Quinn (Hawke T s BayPoverty Bay) in the first 10yds. Macfarlane and Fitzsimmons ran together nearly all the way, but with half the distance covered Tapley was 2ft out in front. Quinn came with a strong burst from the 70yds mark to reduce the gap a little, but Tapley finished in his usual determined fashion to win by a foot in lOsec, Macfarlane being inches back third, with Fitzsimmons fourth. Quinn, who has performed consistently during the last two championship meetings, had his reward in the 220yds championship, which the Hawke's Bay-Poverty Bay representative won in fine fashion in the very good time of 22.25ec. He had to do his best to win, for last year's 100yds champion and a former holder of the furlong title, J. B. Macfarlane, ran his best race at the meeting to push Quinn hard up the straight, the Gisborne runner winning by half a yard, with Bainbridge half a yard back third. This was Bainbridge's best performance at the meeting also, but he showed nothing like the dash he did when he won at Wanganui last year. Tapley was well placed when ho entered the straight, but could not muster up quite enough pace over the last bit, and finished out of a place. DRISCOLL UNCHALLENGED AS WALKER. The mile walk served to show further that 1. Driscoll, the Hawke's BayPoverty Bay representative, is in a class right out on his own at the present time, and he collected the " double " ' Tay taking the title in the fast time of (3min 46 4-ssec, after another pretty display of walking. In this event the competitors provided the unusual spectacle of a break at the start, and had to be recalled, bufc Driscoll wasted little time in taking the lead, which ho held all the way to win by lOOvds from R. J. Watson (Otago), who held second place nearly all the way, and gave one of his best displays to date. He was strongly challenged by R. Cameron (Auckland) over the final stages, but staved him off to finish with 4yds to spare. It took three heats to decide the ladies' 100yds championship, which saw a new champion crowned, the winner being Miss 1. Campbell, the speediest lady sprinter Auckland has ever sent to the championships. Miss A. Gibbs (■Wellington) led out, but from the 50yds mark Miss Campbell came away with a great burst of speed to win as she liked by 2-}yds, Miss K. Callinan (Canterbury), the previous titleholder, being a foot back third. The winner's time was ll.Osec, two-fifths of a second outside the New Zealand record, j Later, two further ladies' event? I were held, both being non-champion-ships. Miss Betty Forbes (Otago), who recently established a New Zealand re- j cord of 4ft llin. won the high jump at

4ft 7in, and the 80yds hurdles, held in drizzling rain, was brilliantly won by Miss R. Tong, of Hawke's Bay, m Usee, which was 1 2-ssec better than the listed New Zealand record she established at Wanganuj last year. Hawke's Bay-Poverty Bay retained the ladies' relay title. DOMINION'S BEST THREE-MILER. Although he did not approach his recent New Zealand record performance* by nearly 23sec, the Canterhury threw miles champion, C. H. Matthews, demonstrated his right to be assessed as easily New Zealand's outstanding distance* man, for he won the three-mils championship as he liked in 14min 41.(3sec, and incidentally gave - a very sound display of running and well* judged lap times. W. A. C. Pullar (Otago) strove doggedly to stay the pace set by Matthews, but, while he ran a gallant race, he did not have the speed, and after the first mile he began to fall back. Matthews led Pullar Dy a yard at the half-mile in 2min 18sec, but he began to drawaway at the end of a mile, which he covered in 4min 44sec, and with a, mile and a-half left behind in 7min Bsec, Matthews led by 10yds from Pullar, who wa9 shortening his stride a little, A. R. Qeddes, the Otago champion, then being about 50yds back. Mathews was striding very evenly, and he completed two miles in 9miii 38sec, Pullar being 50yds back, with Geddes another 100yds away. Matthews drew away in the last mile to win by 200yds, fust failing to lap G. Bills (West Coast, N. 1.)/ who strove desnerately to avert this happening. Pullar came in second, 120yds ahead of Geddes, W. Crother (Otago) being fourth, a similar distance away. THRILLING QUARTER FINAL. The issue for the championship shield was practically clinched by the final of the 440yds championship, which not only resulted in the biggest upset of the meeting, but also produced one of the finest finishes ever seen in a quarter-mile championship in New Zealand. The whole field moved into the straight almost in a dead line, and it was a desperate battle for supremacy up the straight, the issue being in doubt until the tape was reached. After the first day's heats, T, G. Broadway (Canterbury) was the most favoured, and while the promising young Otago champion, H. J. Tyrie, was conceded a chance of a place he was not generally heralded as the winner. The Civil Service runner, who has been in competition only for two or three seasons, ran a brilliant race, however, and a magnificent finishing effort clinched the issue for him in 50.6, A. L. Price (who was runner-up to Tyrie in the Otago championship) being second barely half a yard 'back, with T. G. Broadway (Canterbury) a foot away third. Price made a very strong sprint 140yds from home which brought him on terms with the leaders entering the straight, and when Tyrie made a slight move to the front, Price went with bim. Tyrie gathered himself together for a great effort 30yds from the finish, and this gave him the decision. The previous titleholder, W. S. Bainbridge (Auckland) finished fourth. As winner of the quarter-mile championship, Tyrie became the winner of the E. L. Macassey Memorial Cup, presented recently by the Otago Centre to perpetuate the name of the late Mr Macassey, wno did so much for amateur athletics in New Zealand.. Xt was generally anticipated that Otago and Canterbury would contest the issue in _ the mile medley relay championship, in which the quarter-mile is now the first distance covered,-fol-lowed' by two sections of a furlong each, with the half-mile to finish. At one time, the half-mile was taken first with, the two furlongs to complete the race. Canterbury was more strongly fancied than the home team, but over the earlystages Otago made the. northerners do their very best. Price gave Tapley a slight lead over the first quarter when he took the baton, Carmicbael following Geddes in the Canterbury team. Tapley drew away a little, and Tyrie held the advantage over Macfarlane. The sternest part of the tussle came in the half-mile stage when Boot took over for Canterbury from Macfarlane. He went after Allen in determined fashion, and with 100yds covered passed the Otago man. He drew away along the back, and increased his lead in the second lap along the back. Allen endeavoured to muster up a sprint, but he could not reduce the gap and Boot won by 12yds, the Wellington team being third 90yds back. The time was 3min 34sec, which bettered by one and two-fifth seconds the New Zealand record set by the Wellington team in. 1930. : At the conclusion of the programme/ the secretary of the New Zealand Council (Mr H. M'Cormick) called on Mrs Guy Tapley, wife of the Otago Centre's president, to make the presentation of trophies, but before doing so he congratulated the Otago Centre on the very fine way the meeting had been controlled, and he also extended the council's congratulations to Otago on winning the shield. (Applause.) Mr M'Cormick also conveyed congratulations to Mr R. O. Johnson, captain of the Otago team, for the way he had carried out the coaching of the team, and Mr Johnson and Mr J. J. Morris (manager of the Otago team) were presented with the championship shield by Mrs Tapley. Abbreviations.
