YALE MEN IN THE LEAD,
PENNSYLVANIA Gets the Second
Place and Harvard
Third.
BERKELEY BOYS oUTNUMBERED.
But Some of Them Will Be in the
Team to Contest for Honors
In England.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 25.-The great
Mott Haven games are over and Yale num-
bers have won as was expected. The fact
that Pennsylvania was a close second
showed the status of the California team
since Pennsylvania was unable to defeat
the U. c. team on the 18th. The Califor-
mans made fine showing, winning seven
points with ten men. Yale scored thirty
points with ninety-three entries. The
blue and gold was kindly treated by the
audience, though the cheering that it
received was often amusing. "Rah, rah,
rah! Zip, boom, ahl Tiger! California !''
cried the boys of Nassau.
The Harvard men roared out IRA, ra,
IA, ra, "a, IA, "a, ra, RAJ Californian and
the Pennsylvania men sang out their
"Kentuckieie! Whiskyeye! Pennsylva-
nieye."
The entire California team feel certain
of one fact-with twice their numbers they
could win Intercollegiate, with their own
numbers they could defeat an equal mum Der
from any college team. Crum, the Iowa
cyclone, and Hickok, the Yale giant, were
the most interesting sights to the Califor-
mans. Crum's finish especially reminded
them of Scoggins' work last year. Koch
led off for the Californians, clearing 5 feet
10 inches in the jump and taking fourth
place. Torrey followed by running away
from Cady, the Yale crack, in the high
hurdles. His time, 10 40 seconds, ties the
intercollegiate record made in 1891 by H.
L. Williams of Yale, and entities him to
the Intercollegiate gold record medal.
Twenty men started in the walk, but
Marvin of California could only secure
In no Ia
gren beat out Chadwick and the younger
Hickok, securing third place with throw
of 122 feet inch.
The finals of the 120-yard hurdles were
very exciting. For time it seemed as
though Dyer would win; but the world
beater, Chase, won out by yard in Is As
seconds. Torrey secured third from Hatch
of Yale.
The 220-yard hurdle race resulted in a
worlds record. Bremen won by yard
from Cady of Yale, Torrey a close third.
Time, "a 3-5 seconds. Torrey's running
was marvellous, for he had already run
five heats. His time must have been less
than % seconds. Koch had been picked
for winner in the 440 and certainly was
the best man in the race.
There were ten entries, however, and the
Californian was "boxed" so that he could
not get out of the crowd until he entered
the homestretch. Then he shot out, but it
was too late. Theu he passed four of the
leaders. but had not space to overtake Vim
cent, who broke the tape a winner by a
yard in 30 As seconds. The results of the
games are very satisfactory. Realizing the
disadvantage of a small team, the Cali
fornians only entered so that they might
qualify for the European team. Koch and
Dyer are now assured of positions on that
team. Torrey and Edgren are possibilities
as first substitutes. Private dispatches
state that Oxford and Cambridge will
probably accept the American challenge.
for the picked college team will sail about
the first of July for England. Besides win
ming positions upon this team, the Berke-
ley boys secured record, that of Torrey
in the hurdle race. The next meet will be
with Union College at Albany on Decora-
ton day.
