MONTREAL, Aug. 11—The»elu- aive sprint title she has sought for yelrswlsinthegraspodAileen Mesgher tonight following clean- out victories at 100 and 200 metres _1n the women's Dominion track and field championships. The slim Halifax girl streaked through four heats and the finals to prove con- clusively her right to speed hon- ors and a berth in Canada's Olym- pic team next year. Stiffest opposition to Miss Meagh- er'a bid came in the 200 metres when Violet Montgo y. a tall ‘challenger from Winnipeg. forced the Nova Scotian within one-tenth of a second of her own Canadian record for the di=‘1nce. A superb burst of speed from the long-strid- ing Maritime!‘ brought victory in the last dozen yards in the good time o1 25.5.

Records Intact

Track records remained intact as early promise of ideal conditions was shattered when intermittent heavy showers left the grounds of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Aa- soclation rein-soaked and the track heavy. Only records of the day were set in junior field events-high jump and discus throw.

Miss Meagher had an easier time in the 100 metres. the event she has been unable to win in a Dc- minion meet until Saturday. Noted as a slow starter, the only senior en from the MI-ritimes unleashed a. terrific burst of speed in the closing stages to win her heats and final.

Accounts For Record

lA youthful star from Windsor. Ont., accounted for one of the new records set when Pearl Barton jumped four feet 11 1-4 inches in winning the junior high jump. Pearl made it a double victory by taking the junior broad jump with a leap of 1o feet 4 1-4 inches.

A feature of the field event; was the keen ‘duel waged by Eva Dawes or Toronto and Helen Ross of Win- nipeg in the senior high jump. The l8 year old western girl with a sty- lish rolling method of getting over the bar finally weakened at five feet one-quarter inch and Miss Dawes cleared it to retain her title.

Hurdle Events

Both senior and intermediate hurdle events went to Hamilton Olympics when Betty Taylor sped over the “barriers to victory at 80 metres in 12.4 secondsin the sen- ior and Kay Fox won the inter- mediate at the same distance 1n 13.7 seconds.

Robina Higglris scored a twin victory in senior field events for the West when she heaved the dis- cus 90 feet 9 1-2 inches then took the senior Javelin throw with a toss 0f 117 feet 8 1-2 inches.

Senior broad Jump honors went to Toronto Lakesidcs when Doris Chellew hurtled 17 feet l 3-4 1n- ches to win. ,

Toronto Laurels accounted for the senior metre relays, in 50.7 seconds. Manitoba's team was sec- ond and Hamilton third.
