The all-event tournament for the indi-
vidual championship of the Pacific Coast

grounds, south Of the Golden Gate Park.
The games commenced at IL o'clock
sharp and continued until late in the even
ing
Only II men. representing the Olympic
Club and the various vereins of this city
and Oakland, contested, but owing to the
fact that each member had to participate In
the several events arranged for the occasion
and that three trials were allowed eaeh
competitor it took several hours to hnlSn
the sport.
The day was pleasant, but the attend
ance was very small In fact, large
gathering was not expected, as there are
comparatively very few people in this city
who are at all interested in amateur ath-
letic sports and who care fg TO witness an
al-round tournament, which, to say the
least, Is very mOnOtonous atfalr
The events consisted of horizontal bar,
parallel bar. side horse. long horse, buck,
rings, sprlnting, running broad jump, pole
vault and shOt-putting.
The contestants viii be awarded special
prizes according to the highest number of
points or credits made in each event.
The score is as follows: A. Hoffman Of
the Olympic Club first, with 4l.S4 per cent;
A. Keller second, with Al. as per cent; Louis
Him. third, with So 43 per cent; Paul Often
of the San Francisco Turn Neren fourth,
with So 03 per cent; &. Steinbeck Of the
Oakland Turn Verein scored 2303 per cent
Ii. NJ. Alpers of the San Francisco Turn
Verein made % 40 per cent; Al Lean of the
Turn Verein Eintraeht made 500 per cent;

Verein made 1886 per cent; N. Lehman
of the Turn Nerein Vorwarts made 1896
per cent.
With the exception of Paul Often. the
leading Drizewinners are members OF the
Olympic Club.
Ii is said that Keller Will protest against
the award Of second prize to Hoffman in
the 100-yard race, or the ground that the
contestants had been started when Hoffman
was of his mark and running when the
pistol was fred, Keller states that had it
not been for the start Hoffman got on him
he (helter) would have taken second place.
The 100-yard was won by AL Lean, and the
time announced WAS 10 Is seconds, which is
very fast for sprinter OF Leans known
ability.
The contestants had, however, strong
wind at their backs, which is a great adjGnct
to a Splinter, especially in a short race. The
winner, Lean, however, got very poor
start. and TO his credit 1t must be said that
he made an excellent burst of speed 10 the
tape IL IS doubtful II he could repeat the
performance in the above time as it is equal
10 the best time that has been made by an
amateur OF this coast for some years.
Lean won first prize also in the pdtting OF
the l6-pound shot and long jump. He COW
cred 50 feet inches with the weight, and in
the jump he cleared 20 feet inches, which
is an excellent performance for an all-round
athlete. TIE judges were j. Schneider Of
