The first day of June started
sunny and warm promising, for a change, a pleasant day’s athletics at Monkton Stadium
in Jarrow, where I again helped officiate some field events, and this being my
second time I was trusted with the business end of the tape measure for the
shot and the discus, and for the latter even graduated to recording the
distances on the official scorecard; so a successful meeting for me and not bad
for the boy who got a couple of third places in the well-contested sprints
before grabbing a first in the javelin, which being the last event, in a
rapidly cooling early evening, was somewhat less competitive.
