AMERICAN MUSCLE AND SKILL TRIUMPH
Outcome of the Contest Between Yale

After the Games began Mt

and muscle OF Americans at Manhattan Field
today. Two weeks ago the representatives of
the London Athletic club were
by the New York Athletic club in a program
which consisted Of eleven events. Some of
the men who contested in that Waterloo
were on the field today. The experts expected
that the Cambridge college men would win
at least one event, but 1t was generally con-
coded that Yale had the better end in the
international struggle. Captain Koran and
his men we're in excellent condition today,
but the best they could do against the sons
of Eli was to win the quarter, half and one
mile races. The weather conditions were
favorable for a good days sport and the cool
afternoon was a pleasanter one for the visit
ors than the torrid heat of two weeks ago.
The track and infeld were in excellent
condition today, but there was no fast work
done like that of two weeks ago. The crowd
which attended the first meeting, Londoners
and New Workers, was double that OF today.
When the games began no more than 1000
persons had passed through the gates. The
club house was decorated with American and
British flags, while the flags which marked
the finish were composed of the colors OF the
London and New York clubs. The Viaduct
and dead Head Hill" 5000.
Altogether there were about 10000 specta-
tors. The carriage enclosure was we'll patron

STARTED PROMPTLY.
Promptly at 3 O'Clock the games were
started, beginning with the 100 yard dash.
No time was lost by Starter Jordan in get
ting the men of. Richards and Burnett were
the quickest away and the Englishmen were
unable to overtake them. Richards, leading
all the way, won by about twelve inches from
Burnett, who beat Levin by about six feet,
while Wilding was a very bad fourth. In the
120 yard hurdle on cinder path, Cady and
Hatch were pitted against Pilkington and
Fletcher. Cady and Hatch jumped into the
lead and the result was never in doubt. Cady
was more fortunate today than on previous
occasions, as he took his hurdles cleanly
and won from Hatch by a yard, equalling his
own record OF sixteen seconds. The high
jump was a very tame exhibition compared
with the extraordinary feats of Sweeney" The
300 yard run was prospective of an exciting
struggle between Richards and Levin. Byers
led at the start, but Richards stood them off
and won by about two feet. Levin just
nipped Ftzherbert for second place. There
were only two runners in the half mile con,
test, Captain Koran of the English team and
Crane of Yale. Horan ran BEAUTIFULLY and
gained several yards in the first lap. He
won easily by about fifty yards and pulled up
very fresh, while Crane was much dis
tressed.
Hickok, the Yale giant, placed the hammer
and shot events to the credit OF the dark
blues in hollow fashion. The English were
permitted 10 throw the nammeT lTOm tHe
thitty-foot circle, while HIckok confined him
self to the seven-foot ring. In putting the
shot the Englishman was given the priv
ilege of putting it from a space ten feet
square, while Hickok and Brown stuck to
the American style by putting it from a
seven-foot circle.
EASY FOR THE ENLGISHMAN.
In the mile run Lutyens had an easy thing
of it. He ran at a clipping good pace. outdis-
tanced his competitors In the first lap and

race was the 44O yard run. Levin gained a
good lead at the start and led Richards by
three yards when passing the stand Fitz-
herbert, who was looked upon as a certain
winner. trailed for half the distance. but when
he reached the club house he spurted and
passed Wade. Richards then made a des-
perate effort to catch the leader and closed
upon Levin rapidly in the last fifty yards.
Levin won by about two feet, while Richards
beat Fitzherbert by two yards. Wade was
several yards in the rear at the finish. 1t
looked like a dead heat, and when Lewin's
name was carded he received an ovation, as
he broke his own record by three-fifths of a
second.
The last event was the 100 yard hurdle on
turf, where the Erglishmen are much more
at home over the hurdles. while the Ameri-
cans use the cinders. Fletcher overlook Cady
at the eighth hurdle, but he was unable to
reach Hatch, who finished beautifully by six
feet, while Cady was nearly a yard behind
Fletcher. Hatch beat his own record by two
ffths of a second. The crowd swarmed In
on the field when Hatch crossed the finish
line and he was carried to the club house
amid the cheers Of the spectators.
