Glorious weather, good entries, and q fair at
tendance contributed to make tho annual cham
pionship games Of the Metropolitan Association
OF inc a. a. U. n pronounced success. The tour
nament took place at Columbia Oval, williams
bridge, yesterday afternoon, aud aroused un-
usual interest owing TO tho presence OF several
popular performers who were debarrod last
year. The New York A. c. was then ineligible,
but tho mercury foot was very much in evidence
yesterday. and the Travers Island combination,
under tho fathcrly care of Capt. Barlow s.
Weeks and the watchful eye Of Trainer Mike
Murphy. scored in overy one Of the seventeen
events on tho card.
Estimating tho score on the A. A. U. basis OF
3 points for first, 3 for second, and 1 for third,
the N. Y. A. c. men got away with almost half
the aggregate, the totals for all the scoring
clubs being us follows:
New York A. c., so; X. A. c.. 9s; Nj. A. C., -;
p. A. G. 49, Y A. A, 9; Syracuse A. A., 8; New West
Side A. c., 3.
These figures are subject to revision. rs there
are several protests on fle, some OF which will
be handled by the District Committee within q
week, while others may have to go over to tho
National Board. Most Of the objections are on a
technical point raised by q new rule which has

change in the order of finishing Is anticipated.
T. b. Turner, the ex-intorcollegiate champion,
was frst to score. He started in the half-milo
run wearing the winged foot, and few Of the
outside onlookers identified him as the Prince
ton flyer who had won the same event Eve years
ago. Marvel. tho Pingry School boy wonder.
was tho favorite. but the veteran hold the
youngster safe when 1t came to staying, and
won in the fastest time ever mado in a Metro
politan championship.
The New Yorks were again to the front In the
100-yard dash. which Wefers won, and the
noted sprinter also annexed the furlong dash.
Tho Travcrs Island combination furnished an
other dual winner In Flanagan. who won hand
somely with both the hammer and discus. while
he only lost the 5G-pound weight throwing by a
