Eexl TO Try CONCLUSIONS AGAIN With Der
nard ], Wefers, the American cham-
pion. The three men are entered in the
100 yards dash. The track at Bergen
Point is being. put in the finest possible
shape, and with conditions favorable, it
is expected the winner will be forced to
do 9 35 seconds.
Another important race in which these
Western cracks will figure will be the
800 yards special scratch race. At this
distance Wefers now holds the American
record. He is in exceptionally fine form
and he feels confident hat on Labor Day
he will not only eclipse his own Ameri-
can record, but the professional record
held by Harry Hutchins as well. May
bury and Rush are both strong sprinters,
and many believe that Rush is better at
the 800 yards thar he is at the 100. The
same can be said of Maybury, as ne has
done som wonderfully fast running for
the 220 yards.
The sprinters, however, will not have
everything their own way. Champion
Burke, the quarter miller. has consented
to run a half mile with Herbert e. Man
vel. member of the New Jersey A. c.,
and the school boy champion of America.
Marvel is still a young boy and is not
up to the tricks of the veterans. He is
what might be termed a natural runner.
He is full OF pluck and confidence and
feels firmly convinced that on Monday
next he will have no trouble in dispos-
ing of Burke's aspirations to become the
half mile champion.
John Flanagan, the Irish Hercules and
holder of the worlds record for throw
ing the 16-pound hammer, is getting
himself in perfect shape. for he will
have to work pretty hard to win, as
Robert Edgren OF the Knickerbocker A.
G., who is without doubt the Ngreatest
does not at all feel satisfied with the
showing he made last Saturday. He
has entered and expects to make Flana-
gan beat his own record if he desires to
win. Chadwick, the Yale strong man,
is likewis entered in the hammer throw
ing event, as also is e-x-champion James
S. Mitchell.
A novel event will be given this year
by the New Jersey A. c., that of throw
ing the 56-pound weight for height, At
this game James S. Mitchell, of the Pas
of the other crackajacks have entered, 1t
would not be surprising if Mitchell lost
his laurels.
Besides these star attractions, there
are other interesting events. The fam
Gus William Barry Association, the
champion Irish football team of Hudson
county, VIII play d match game Oh
Goelic football with the Young Irelands
of Newark. This game will be immedi-
ately preceded by a game of Association
football, the contestants representing the
Centreville A. c., and the True Blues of
Paterson.
1t is doubtful now if Fetterman, the
Intercollegiate champion walker, will be
given another chance at Champion Leib-
gold, as up to last night Leibgo1dis en-
try had not been received. This is to be
regretted, as Fetterman is more than
anxious to meet Leibgold again before
the winter season is upon us.

The Nonpareils played a good game
with the Centennials and won. Up to
the fourth inning it looked as though the
! game would be a close, hot contest, blu
at that point the Nonpareils had a heavy
batter at the stick and he treated his
companions good by making a home run.
From that point the Centennials could
not check the Nonpareils and they won
easily. Mulcahey pitched the winning game
and proved lard to find. Lamke did the
work for the Centennials and was hit
easily. This is the eighth pame the Nom
