Capturing the Mile
Run.

New York, May 27.-The intercolle-
giate athletic games on track and field,
which were concluded this afternoon at
Manhattan field, were the most sue
cessful ever held in this vicinity by the
l. C. A. A. A. The representatives of
the University of Pennsylvania cannot
be praised too highly for their excel
lent performances, as in nine of the
thirteen events, the blue and red was
in front, with the inevitable result that
the championship honors remain with
Pennsylvania.
INA. c. Kraenzlein, the Quakers have
ed over the high and low hurdles, and
won easily in each event. He clipped
one-fifth of a second off the intercolle-
giate record made by himself but even
this splendid exhibition was outclassed
by his performance in the running
broad jump. In this event he estab-
lished a worlds record.
J. w. B. Tewksbury, from the same
college, captured the sprints in fault
less style, and while he did not go
within 2-5 Of a second of Wefers rec
ord, he outclassed all the other con-
testants just as handily as did the
Georgetown flyer in former years. The
heavyweight, McCracken, was another
who helped his university by winning
the hammer-throwing and shot-putting
events with little trouble. ]. K. BaX
ter won the high jump, with the bar at
feet inches, and Alexander Grants
win of the two-mile race was treat
to all who witnessed 1t. D. Boardman
nf Vol ~ dA6 ad
winner of the longer sprint, reserved
himself for that event, and did not try
the quarter-mile run. He was unable,
however, to catch up with TewkSbury,
who beat him out by nearly ten yards
T. E. Burke of Harvard also declined
the quarter, and started in the half
which he won from a good field. Alex
ander Grant was second. "Maxey"
Long of Columbia ran out at the crack
of the pistol, which sent a dozen men
off on the 440 yards run, and the white
and blue stripes were always in front,
Long reaching the tape fTst In Is 2-5,
which is Ito of a second better than
the previous intercollegiate record.
One of the most exciting races was
the one-mile run. In the last quarter
of this event, John Bray of Williams
overlook ]. F. Cregan of Princeton
who held the lead up to that point The
Williams man increased his lead to
three yards, turning into the stretch
for home. Cregan, with supreme
effort, caught Bray some 40 yards from
the tape, and won with a little to
spare.
Yale's only win was effected by r.
G.. Clapp, the pole vaulter, who beat
the intercollegiate record with a vault
of II feet 5 inches. Then he attempted
to eclipse his worlds record OF IL feet
1O1s inches. The bar was placed at II
feet II inches, and in the first attempt
he got clear over, but brought it down
with his shoulder. His next effort was
not so good, and he then gave up the
attempt.
Pennsylvania, Harvard and Yale fin
ished in the order named in the points.
The seven other colleges were much be-
hind the three leaders, the nearest to
the latter being Princeton. There were
fully 5000 persons within the enclosed
grounds, and as many more looked on
