Ing In the Finals.
New York, May 2s.--The twenty
fourth annual meeting under the aus
pices of the 1. c. A. A. A. to determine
the intercollegiate championship at field
and track events began this afternoon
on Manhattan field, where 1t will be
concluded tomorrow. The track and
infeld We're in splendid order for good
performances, and the weather was de-
lightful. From an athletic standpoint
everything that could be desired was in
evidence and some of the trial heats
were productive of exciting finishes.
ed tomorrow and if the weather con-
ditions prove to be as desirable as they
were to-day this years meeting will
certainly prove to be financial sue
cess.
One worlds record was smashed. This
was on the running broad jump, the
last event on the card, and Kraenzlein
of Pennsylvania, who had acquitted
himself cleverly earlier in the day by
winning his high and low hurdles was
the one who did the trick. On his first
jump the Pennsylvania covered 23 feet
1915 inches and eclipsed his own worlds
record of "a feet 31A inches on his Sec
ond attempt, covering "a feet Az inches.
He did "a feet 9% inches Immediately
afterwards, but he fell back sideways,
and it was not allowed. KraenZlein was
anxious to take advantage of his full
five trials. but Trainer Mike" Murphy
advised him not to, and he took his
trainers advice.
There was some doubt as to whether
his jump was worlds record, but
Father BilP' Curtis dispelled this by
asserting that Newburn's jump of "a
feet 6A inches, made at Mullinger, Ire
land, was not accepted by the Irish or
English associations. From his show
ing to-day Kraenzlein has the two hur-
die events pretty well secured Nc
Cracken, the weight-putter and ham,
mer- thrower from Pennsylvania, is also
looked upon as certain winner, while
Tewksbury, the sprinter, should certain
ly capture the final of the 100-yard dash.
Quinlan of Harvard made as good time
as Tewksbury, but the latter was evil
IDENTIFY in better shape.
The interest In the quarter-nile event
was considerably lessened by the non
appearance of Burke of Harvard and
Boardman of Yale. The former won his
heat in the half-mle run, while Board
man chose a 220-yard dash trial, in
which he was beaten out at the tape by
r. A. Waite of Syracuse in 22 3-5 Sec
onds. Waite's performance was splen-
did, but as the two men neared the fin
ish Boardman seemed to ease up lit
tie and in the opinion of many experts
could have won had he perseVered
Tewksbury and Quinlan won their re-
spective heats in this event, and If all
four should meet in the final wonder
full race must ensue.
With Burke and Boardman out of the
quarter mile run, Long of Columbia
and Mulligan of Georgetown had things
their own way and they won their heats
llandily. Pennsylvania has certainly
the best outlook for the honors, and ex-
cept something happens to disable her
the intercollegiate. tro-
phy will remain with the University or |
for another year, at least.
