Other Events on Manhattan Field.
English had TO yield to the better Drawn
and muscle of the Americans, on the
Manhattan field today. Two weeks
ago the representatives of the London
Athletic club Were whitewashed by the
New York Athletic club, in a program
which consisted of eleven events. Some
of the men who contested in that Wa
terloo were on the field today. The
experts expected that the Cambridge
college men would at least win one
event, but il was generally conceded
that Yale had the better end in the
interna tional struggle. Captain Hor-
an and his men were in excellent con-
dition today, but the best they could
do against the sons of Eli, was to win
the quarter. half and mile races.
The weather conditions were favor
able for a good days sport and the cool
afternoon was pleasanter one for the
visitors than the torrid heat of two
weeks ago.
The track and infield 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, that of the Londoners and the
New Workers was double that of today.
When the games began, not more than
1000 persons had passed through the
gates. The club house was decorated
with American and British fiags,while
the flags which marked the finish were
composed of the colorS of the London
and New York clubs.
The viaduct and "deadhead" hill ac-
commodated 5000. altogether there was
about 1900 spectators. The carriage
enclosure was well patroniZed. Mr..
Iselen, of Defender fame, had a party
on a tally-ho. He had his mascot DEF
the famous ''yaller" dog, in box seat.
Promptly at o'clock the games Were
started, beginning with the 100 yards
dash. No time was lost by Starter
Jordan in getting the men off. Rich
ards and Burnett were the quickest
away and the Englishmen were una
BILE TO overtake them. Richards, lead
ing all the way, won by about u inches
from Burnett, who beat Levin about
six feet, while Wilding was a very bad
fourth.
In the 120 yards hurdle on the 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 clean
ly and won from Hatch by a yard,
equalling his own record of 16 seconds.
The high jump was very tame exhi-
bition compared with the extraordina-
ry feats of Sweeney
The 800 yard run was productive of
an exciting struggle between Richards
and Levin. Byers led at the start
hrr< i.t,s SHc- h T.,
the stretch Fitzherbert challenged
| Richards and Levin ran up very fast
TO the finish, but Richards shook them
both off and won by about two feet
levin just nipped Fitzherbert for Sec
ond pace.
There were two runners in the half
mile contest, Captain Koran of the
English team, and Crane of Yale. Ho-
ran ran beautifully and gained several
yards in the first lay. He won easily
by about fifty yards and pulled up very
fresh, while Crane was much distress
ed.
Hickok, the Yale giant, placed the
hammer and shot events to the credit
of the dark blue in hollow fashion.
The EngliShmen were permitted to
throw the hammer from the 30-foot cir
Gle, while Hickok confined himself to
the seven foot ring. In putting the
shot the Englishmen was given the
privilege of putting it from a space of
ii feet square, while Hickok and Brown
stuck to the American style of put
ting it from a seven foot circle.
In the mile run Lutyens had an easy
thing of it. He ran at a Gaping good
pace, outdistanced his competitors in
the first lap and won by twenty Yards.
The most exciting race was the 40
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 GER
tain winner, trailed for half the dis
lance but when he reached the club
house he spurted and pjassed Wade.
Richards then made a desperate eff
fort to catch the leader and closed Lew
in rapidly in the last fiftwy 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 Lewen'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 120-yard hur-
die on turf. where the Englishmen are
much more at home over the hurdles
while the Americans use the cinier
Fletcher overlook Cady at the eighth
hurdle but he was unable 70 reach
Hatch. who finished beautifully by six
feet while Cady was nearly a yard be-
hind Fletcher. Hatch beat his own rec
ord by two-fifths OF a second. The
crowd swarmed in on the field when
Hatch crossed the finish line and he
was carried 10 the club house amid the
cheers of the spectators.
