ECHOES FROM TIE SPORTS.
z. II. Lohand OF the Warren Athletic
Club was prevented from oontesting by
reason Of the recent death OF his father.
Harry Mcmillan, the president OF tho
Amateur Athletic Union, made good
referee. Several ladies were heard to re-
mark on his distinguished appearance
and fine bearing, hut then that is not to
be wondered at, for he has on his shout
ders the responsibility OF conducting the
affairs Of amateur athletics throughout
thia entire big country.
After the sports OH Saturday the games
committee OF the Warren Athletic Club
entertained the visiting officials from the
A. o. y. N, with an informal supper at
Mullins restaurant, at Sixth and Shipley
streets. Mine Host Mullin seemed to
take as much pride in entertaining tho
quests as did the committee, with the
result that the visitors were sent homo
| with pleasant recollection OF their brief
stay. Eds dry and good natured wit
and quick sallies sparkled like Mumm's
extra dry. John FPS overlooking
"phunny" sayings and his bald head shone
ont like the etfulgent rays of the rising
sun. Fred's side-splitting stories and
iuimitable antics brought down the house
for unlimited euoores. Oscars nightin.
gale voics should certainly secure him Q
professional engagement. Walter sat
silent and pensive and he uttered not 9
sound except for On occasional sigh
which was caused by the soughing Of the
wind through Ills luxurious moustaohe.
He was studying out the details of his
glee club. Macs "a. h. tenor brought
out o squad of police VINO thought that o
murder was being committed. Doc only
smiled and attended strictly to business
except when his feelings were dissected
and laid bare to cruel critics. Harry
presided at one end of the table and his
dignity lent the necessary tone TO the
festivities as did his remarks furnish
enough meat for second meal. Tn,
hosts of the occasion nobly bore their
part in the fray, but modesty forbids 6
detailed report of their brainy efforts
and gallant achievements.
O. Il. Il. Bates entertained Messrs
Perrett, Burkhard and Shell of the visit
ing athletes ut dinner after the games.
The Warren Athletic Club made littl
or nothing on its games on Saturday bu
they express themselves as pleased an'
encouraged by the interest shown. Mex
year the games will be given in til,
spring when more athletes are in training
and everything fayors outdoor sport.
