Local Athletes Who Will Com
pete Tomorrow at Boston.
The Handicaps and the Scratch Men In
the Events-The Leading Team
Races to Be Run.

Tomorrow evening the annual games
of the Boston Athletic Association will
be held at Mechanics Fair building, in
Boston, and, as usual, number of To-
cal athletes will compete. The games
this year give promise of being even
more interesting and lively than any
that have previously been conducted
under the management of the B. A. Az
/. The program this year does not con-
tain some of the events that at former
meets proved rather uninteresting, and
consumed considerable valuable time.
The 40-yard dash for novices, for in
stance, has been given no place upon the
program, the games committee wisely
concluding that the spectators were but
little interested In that event, which
required any number of heats and
good deal of time to finally sift the in
different field down to final heat.
Worcester academy, Worcester high
school and the Holy Cross College will
all be represented by good sized teams,
and if they do not win places they can
not offer any excuse, for they have all
for the past month, and ought to be in
very fair condition by this time. The
athletes will be accompanied to Boston
by large number of their friends.
The handicaps in the events were an
nounced Thursday evening by the
games committee, and the distances ac-
corded to Worcester men and those
