NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 2.-The second
meeting this year between the Eastern
and Western athletes, under the auspices
Of the New York Athletic Club, has cre-
ated a great deal of interest in athletic
circles. The representative teams met at
Manhattan Field five weeks ago, and.
although the Western men were beaten,
the New Workers had to reach out in order
to win many of the events. All the
athletes from Chicago, with the exception
of Richards, will take part in the game on
Travers Island to-day. but the injuries he
received in practice with Ralph Ewry, the
jumper, may prevent him from com pe ting.
The track and infield are in excellent
shape.

the Chicago Athletic Association and
New Y ork Athletic Club, the New Workers
won against Chicago's 3, while one event
resulted in tie. Owing to the fact that
the representation of Chicago was more
limited than that of the local am ateurs, it
was decided to figure only on first places
