BY DICK JEMISON.
Atlanta, Ga., July 14.?Camp JackjK
son, the big artillery camp at iolumHSv
bia, S. C., was the winner of the Vic<
tory athletic meet held July 4, ac ref.
cording to the official compilation of
points, with a total of 25 4^2 points.
Fort McPherson. Atlanta. Ga.. finished
second with 8 1-2 points and
Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala.,
third with 8 points. Th$ order of the
other camps competing and their
S& points is as follows:
Ejgi'.,, Miami 6 7-12, Arcadia 6 1-3, Shelby
| 8, Gordon 5, West Point 4 3-4, Greene
r and Johnston 3 each, Sevier 2 3-4,
^ Georgia Tech 2 1-2, Paris Island nad
rv, Oglethorpe 2 each. Fort Morgan 1 1-2,
Kj?' Park Field and Wadsworth 1 each,
Rf," Charleston 7-12.
Other camps competing were Fort
; Caswell. Fort Screven, Amerlcus, Fort
Dada, Mississippi A. & M. and Key
Kip West.
Of lhe camps in the southeastern
lv>. department eligible to, compete, 24
I did so. This monster army and navy
track and field championship was
held under the auspices of the Y. M.
iv . C. A. and with the sanction of Col.
Thos. RIdway, C. A. ry., acting comji&&
mandant of the southeastern depart/
ment, and Rear Admiral F. E. Beatty,
V- U. S. N., commanding the Sixth naval
district.
A beautiful pennant suitably inv
scribed^ js to be presented to Camp
__ Jackson, the department winners, and
the raising of this trophy at that
camp will probably be observed with
fitting ceremonies and jubilation.
One of the conditions of the meet
was that each contestant should com- I
pete equipped in regulation trousers
&?' and shoes. Under these conditions, |
the time in the sprint events and the
*&' distances in the field events are re- j
markable. j
SoYne of the marks established
closely approached those made in
. civil life and under more ideal conditiorts.
These marks are likely to stand
for some time to com*.
It is estimated that some 10,000
khaki and blue clad athletes particiB?;vV"
pated and that some 150,000 specta?
tors witnessed the establishing of these
?& marks.
One feature in connection with the
ggj*': meet was the, relay race which was
won by four colored soldiers competBsCi
ing under the colors of the Colored
depot" brigade at Camp Gordon. They
*#7*1 ^showed their heels to all the other
v athletes in the department.
Lieut. J6e Loomis, tlie famous runner
of the Chicago Athletic club, easlly
walked away with the 100-yard
dash, his specialty prior to his enter"
ing the service.
Another unusual feature of the meet
was that officers, "non-coms," privates
eft*;' and seamen competed in the same
'/ events.
/No individual departmental winner
of points could be compiled inasmuch
as, under the rules, no contestant was
permitted to- compete in more than
three events. ^ '
ft*. -t The individual winners in each of
fflkV . ' the ten events for the dpartmntal I
tltl are as follows:
Private J. L. Sewell. cadet detachment,
Carlstrom field, won the 50-yard
dash in 2-5 seconds.
