ATHLETICS

SPORTS AT BASIN RESERVE

The Scottish Harrier and Amateur Athletic Club held a sports meeting on the Basin Reserve. last evening. Conditions were excellent, and there was a large crowd present. One o£ tho best events was the 100 yards handicap, which produced a brilliant result when D. Phillips (Kiwi) won the event in 9 4-ssec off a handicap" of 6yds. Phillips made a great race if it, C. Jenbins, the Wellington crack sprinter, was run out of a position in the first heat; Another race-which provided a fine finishing effort- was the two miles handicap, nearly all the runners staying in and contesting their placings. D. Pedersen (Wellington), who had been .treated rather liberally on 80yds, won from C. ■ Gibbons, a club-mate, oS scratch. Barn (Olympic), off the limit of 130 yds, paced the field for six laps, and was only headed when Pedersen came through with hall a mile to go. At the bell the placings were unchanged, but Gibbons, who had bben running strongly, moved up to second. Pedersen's break, however, was too great, and he won by nearly 20yds. Barn/who had tired, made a great effort for third place, but was beaten on the tape by Williamson. . Miss Jean Murray won the ladirs' 75yds . handicap, and also the 120 yds handicap, Miss M. Watson filling * second place in both events. • There was a fine field for the interi club relay of four laps of 110 yds, six >' teams competing. C. Jenkins, in charac- • teristie .style, opened up a break for Wel- , lington, and they w-ere never headed to . win by nearly five yards, with Kiwi and University battling for second place. !
