time Il. NJ. Malone of Ennis, county
Clare, made his appearance, and in a

Limerick. Malone finished second to
DAWN, but he accomplished feat

Mr.. Mitchell has by no means ex-

Why am l a Catholic {?

"Why am Catholic" was the
subject of a sermon delivered recently
by Rev. Father Conway, of the Paulist
Order, at st. Elizabeth's church, Chi
cago, where a mission to non-C -Catho-
lies was brought to a close.
81 am a Catholic" said the eloquent
preacher, because the Catholic
church alone satisfies my hearts
cravings for satisfactory solution Of
the problem of the souls life after
death. The life on this earth, which
is often an Industrial slavery, is not
all there is Of life. To bring this mes
sage from heaven to earth was the
mission of Christ To make His teach
ing effective He organized His follow
crs. That organization was His
Church, the historic church Of the
ages, the Roman Catholic chych Of
today. Just as the patriot Washing
ton, wishing to give civil liberty to
his country, proved to be the organizer
Of victory when he gathered the revo-
lutionary army around him, so Christ
was the organizer Of spiritual vic
tory when He founded His Church
upon rock, st. Peter, and guaran-
teed that the powers Of evil should
not prevail against it. Innumerable
prophecies of the impending fall Of
the Papacy have been made, but they
have all been falsified by time. In
the early ages Of the church the Arian
sectaries were more numerous than all
the Protestants of today. There is
no halfway house between Rome and
inf1delity or agnosticism-th latter be-
Ing the gospel Of abyssmal gloom and
despair"

sprinter, and his worlds records Of
9 As seconds for 100 yard; 21 is Sec
onds for 220 yards; II As seconds for
100 yards and 30 3-5 seconds for 300
yards should remain unbeaten for gen.
erations to come.
John r. Cregan of Princeton uni
versity, holder Of the intercollegiate
mile championship, was born Of Irish
parents at Schenectady, N. Y. He
also won the Amateur Athletic Union
national mile championship in 1897
and 1898, and the half-mile event in
1897. w. B. Fetterman Of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania, holder Of the in
tercollegiate record Of 6 minutes As
2-5 seconds, 1-mile walk, is native
Of county kildare, Ireland, and to say
that he is q walkist of exceptional
stamina conveys but a slight idea Of
his ability. In the summer of 1892 he
walked around the coast Of Ireland
and concluded the trip by leisurely
stroll from Belfast to Kilkee on. the
coast of Clare.
Ireland has always been remarkable
as the home of jumpers, and M. Il.
Sweeney, champion of America, is a
worthy representative. He holds the
worlds record at feet SO inches,
and has won the American champion
ship in 1892, 1889, 1894 and 1895. He
was born near Killarney, county Ker-
ry, and came to America when a child.
But the most unique jumper perhaps
Ireland has ever produced is w. j. NJ.
Newburn of Carlborough college, Dub
lin His best accepted record is "a
feet u inch, though on one occasion he
cleared the astonishing distance of 25
feet II inches, but the performance
was rejected on technical grounds.
OF the weight throwers very little
need be said. John Flanagan, holder
of the worlds record of 1863 feet 1
inches, halls from KilmallOck, the
"Balbec" of Ireland; D. Horgan, hold
er Of the 16-pound shot record of 48
feet inches, is native Of Bandon,
county Cork; ]. S. Michel, holder of
the 5G-pound record Of 35 feet 1917
inches, is from the foot Of slieve-na-
mon, county Tipperary.
j. G. McCracken, the giant football
er, hammer thrower and shot putter of
the University of Pennsylvania, is a
great-grand-nephew of Henry Joy Nc.
Cracken, executed for high treason by
the English government in 1903.
Another branch of track and field
sport at which the Celt has figured
with effect is the all round champion
ship. NJ. O'Sullivan Of Ballinahassig,
county Kerry, won the title in 1892;
John Cosgrove Of Albany, N. Y, in
1896, and J.. Fred Powers, an Irish
American Of Worcester, Mass, in 1899.
In 1881 the London Field launched
forth in a self-congratulatory article
on the decline Of athletics in Ireland.
This elegy on the deterioration of the
Gael was ably answered by Pat and
Maurice DAWN, who appeared soon
after in the English championships,
and between them won four first priz-
es-AIauricc the hammer and shot, and
Pat the high jump and long jump,
The Irish standard., 1901-06-01

younger brother, Pat, in 1878, and this
trio of athletes have done more to
stimulate spirit Of those days than
all their contemporaries combined.
This same year-1S78-the famous
long jumping contest between DR.. John
Lane Of Dublin university and 3. J.
Davies Of the London Athletic Club
came off on the grounds Of "Old Trim
ity," and after a tie at % feet 1Oh
inches, Lane, in the jump off, cleared
% feet III inches, then the worlds
greatest record. simultaneously ap-
peared with the Davins and Lane such
giants as Edmond O'Grady, DR.. James
G. DAILY, the latter being exceptionally
pre-eminent as the holder of the rum
ming hop-step-and-jump worlds record
Of 45 feet II inches, which remained
unbeaten until quite recently.
Professional athletes of Celtic line
age hold their own today in every civil
lized country. T. O'Neill of Cork late
ly defeated F. A. Bacon, the recog-
nized English champion, and the Pc
riodical visits of George B. Tincler to
America demonstrated that he has no
peer on this side Of the water. The
same can be said Of Thomas d. O'Car-
roll, the Californian hammer thrower.
But the object Of the present article
is not to treat Of the professionals. 1t
is intended to- illustrate by short re-
sumo ali the worlds records held by
amateur athletes of Celtic extraction.
Foremost among the lot is J. T. Con-
neff, holder Of the mile amateur rec
ord of minutes Is 3-5 seconds; IL
mile, 5 minutes 38 As seconds; 1h-
mile, 6 minutes, and miles on a grass
track, 10 minutes a As seconds. Be-
sides, Conneff has been mile champion
of England in 1888, America, 1891,
and American champion fve-mile run
ner, 1883, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1892.
Conneff was born near the Curragh Of
Kildare, Ireland, in 1866.
On much the same style was
Charles H. Fitzpatrick, holder Of the
worlds half-mile record Of 1 minute
So 2-5 seconds. He was born of Irish
parents at Troy, N. Y, and while a
student at Union college won his first
race, the intercollegiate half-mile
championship in 1894.
Undoubtedly the middle distance
crown belongs to Thomas q. Burke Of
Boston. AS an all-round runner at
any distance from 100 yards to one
half mile he had no equal, and many
Of his intermediate records will long
survive on the record books. His "
mile run in the New York A. G. Lon
don A. g. international meet will never
be forgotten by those who saw it; nor
will his sensational u mile against
Earlley Weffers on the same ground.
Burke holds worlds records Of 81 As
seconds for 500 yards, and / minute
II seconds for 600 yards. Though
Weffers is not a distinctively Celtic
cognomen, yet the fieet-footed Barney
has all the traits Of the nomadic race.
His mother belongs to famous family
Of Irish athletes from whom the Glow
