EVANSTON'S LARGEST AND FINEST HOTEL 3 # CHICAGOANS WIN MEET Chicago and North Western Athletic Units Hold First Athletic Field Day in Evanston Saturday The Chicago divisions of the Chicago and North Western Railway System Athletic association carried off the honors at the first annual track and field meet Saturday at the Evanston Township High School field, before a crowd of 5000 assembled from the nine states served by the North Western road. The track and field team from the Chicago shops won the trophy for the summary of events with a score of 15 points. The Chicago general office team tied Galena for second place, with 13 points. The relay race trophy was won by the Chicago general office entries. The Iowa division baseball team from Boone, Iowa, defeated the St. Paul general office nine by a 6 to 2 score, in the championship game played in conjunction with the track and field meet. The Minnesota team scored its runs in the fourth inning, the exciting point of the game. Iowa retaliated when its big catcher came to the bat and knocked a home run. The girls' game of playground baseball, between all-star players from the Ravenswood general offices proved a walk-away for the combined Ravens and Vikings who scored 25 runs against the six of the Ashlands and Overlands. At the opening of the meet Ted Canty, official announcer, introduced Fred W. Sargent, president of the North Western railway, as honorary referee of the meet. George B. Vilas, general manager of the road, was also introduced to the visiting fans in his new role of president of the athletic association. Frank Wenter, Jr., vice president of the association, C. H. Westbrook, treasurer, and H. S. Lar- imer, secretary, were presented. Music was furnished by the Chicago and North Western Railway band. "Out Where the Tall Corn Grows" was featured by the band at the end of the baseball game in honor of the Boone players who had earned the champion- ship over all competing teams in the 26 divisions of the North Western.
