ATHLETIC CONTESTS.
Wefers. the Champion Splinter, Fails
to Equal His Record.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12-The New York Athletic
Club, with its winged foot athletes easily
pulled off majority of the honors at the Amer
lean Athletic Union annual championship games
at Manhattan Field this afternoon Only about
1900 were present. The infeld was in good con-
dition, but the running track slow, owing
to rain Wefers, the worlds champion Splinter,
won his trial heat and the final in the hundred
yard dash, but he did not equal his record, as
he evidently reserving his speed for the
quarter-mile run In the quarter-mile run he
met a Tartar in Burke, of Boston, the worlds
champion quarter-miler. Burke led from the
crack of the pistol. Wefers doggedly followed
him, but the Boston Splinter outfooted the
Georgetown runner and after magnificent race
succeeded in beating Wefers by seven feet in the
excellent time of 4S 4-5 seconds, which is only
1-20 of a second behind the American record, and
$40 of a second behind the English record. As
outcome of this race it is quite possible that
arrangements Will be made for Quarter-mile
straight-away contest next Wednesday. 1t is
quite possible that Wefers and Lyons, of the
New York Athletic Club may enter for the race,
in order to make a record under the rules
there must be competition. 1t will probably be
brought off either at Clifton Trenton, n. j.
