Field, Oct. IL, show that the list OF events
will consist OF 100, 800, $50 yard and one
mile run, 22O-yard hurdle, one and half
mile walk, three-mile steeplechase, one-haif,
one and two mile bicycle race. OF these all
will be handicaps except the hali-mile
bicy Gle and three.mile steeplechase.
The latter event will probably be
one Of the most interesting athletic contests
held In some time. Preparations are being
made to make 1t one OF the features Of the
Athletic season. steeplechases are good deal
Of o rarity; the fact that this one Is to be q
team race makes 1t more 50. Five men will
constitute team. There will be individual
and o team medal The first three men In
will receive prizes, and the team that scores
the greatest number Of points--the first man
In counts 1, the second and so on-wins.
Tho possibilities OF such race are great.
There are dozen CLUBS In and about New
York that could turn out good teams, 30 With
twelve good cross-country teams and sixty
good cross-country runners an exciting race
could be arranged. An EFFORT will be made
by those In charge OF the N. c. c. A. meet to
have steeplechase teams from the following
clubs: Acorns, Manhattans, New Yorks, New
pect Harriers and stars
1t is fortunate thing for baseball that
such scenes as that at the Polo Grounds last
Saturday are rare, for II they weren't the
attendance would very likely dwindls to
nearly nothing. 1t used to be the custom out
West to chase an umpire with q rope when
he was particularly unsatisfactory to the
home faction, hut they were comparatively
quiet about 1t. They never had such bois-
ferrous lot OF hoodlums az those who partially
composed the attendance at the Polo
GROUNDS last Saturday, and all because
Umpire Tom Burns made o correct de-
cision Another decision OF Burns, which
some because 1t was IN Bostons favor, was IN
declaring Long safe at the plate In the twelfth
inning. The New Yorks threw away the tirst
day, winning two from Washington.
The following games are scheduled for to-
day:
