SIX RECORDS
BROKEN.
Championship Games of the Pa
cific Association.


from the grounds, and once in the afternoon
it took FIVE or ten minutes dash that
drove the crowds to shelter, and wet to the
skin every contestant in the arena.
Nevertheless the annual championship
games Of the Pacific Association Of the Aul-
ateur Athletic Union of the United States,
held on the Olympic Club grounds, were
signal success. For sprinting. yanltlng and,
indeed, every sport, the air could not nave
been at better temperature. The attend
auce amounted to about TOO most OF whom
are attendants at the High School anu
students at the University at Berkeley
There WAS fai: proportion OF ladies, who
entered seemingly with as much enthusiasm
into the days events as did the men.
CLUBS REPRESENTED.
The clubs represented by successful con-
testants are the Olympic Club Of this city,
the San Francisco Athletic Club and the
University Athletic Club of Berkeley.
Members of the latter came fully prepared
TO contest on their own ground the laurels OF
the 0ympics and try and wreSt from the
latter the hOn0TS they gained at the last
annual championship games. The results
in general are what both clubs expected.
The University boys scored in the field
sports and lost on the track. But they
showed a decided gain over their last years
record
At Berkeley the athletes have no track
worthy of note, but the boys have plenty OF
time and opportunity to exercise themselves
at putting the shot, tugs-0f-war and throw
ing weights and hammers also to practice
vaulting and all kinds OF jumping. The
Olympic Club has an excellent track, when
Is always in trim, and it is the delight Of
every one of its active members to get out
for run. This has kept the practice of
field sports a matter of secondary cOnsidera-
ton. Ii the University boys were to have
good track they would be able to lake
their part better in the track events, for
there are plenty Of Sprinters among them,
and good ones, too.
THE COLLEGE CRY.
Whenever a college boy would make a
point his associates would give the college
cry or blow whistles to encourage others to
do as well and otherwise show their appre
citation. Especially was this noticeable
when Billy" Morrow threw the hammer
100 feet, and again when he made his record
OF 100 feet, and they went wild wheu his
wide, overhead swing of the 56-pOund
weight landed it % feet away. He by
far the most conspicuous athlete from Berk-
eey, and was the oftenest greeted with the
class cry.
There will be seven records broken to-
day." said a prominent member OF the
Olympic Club before the first event. aud his
prophecy proved true with one exception.
There were six Pacific Coast records broken,
five Of which were smashed by the Olym-
pies members, and nearly all by the record
holders.
