A, A, j. CONTESTS
At TRAvERS ISLAND

NEW YORK September 9.-Since the days
OF the feud between the old Manhattan
and New York Athletic clubs, many years
ago. there never was such a keen rivalry
between local clubs as that which was In
evidence today between the New York and
Irish-American Athletic clubs. Their rep
resentatives had nearly everything to them
selves during the fifteen track and field
events which comprised the program of
the annual metropolitan championship con-
tests of the Amateur Athletic Union. which
were held at Travers Island today.
Three Of the Irish organizations men had
been placed under the ban OF suspension
by the registration committee of the Am
ateur, Athletic Union. After two OF these
John J. Joyce. the long distance runner,
and Frank r. Castleman the hurdier-had
been allowed by legal methods to compete
under protest, it was found that George B.
Bonbag, another long-distance track man,
had been DISTINGUISHED for a year.
This was a hard blow to the 1rish-Amer'
lean Club, but at the conclusion of the
event 1t was found that the Irish-Amer car
Athletic Club had gathered III points,
while their rivals the New York Athletic
Club. had earned just twenty points less.
If the protests hold good the New York
Athletic Club will win out, as there will
be couple Of points in Its favor.
Sullivan Wins Mile Run.
One Of the surprises of the day was the
splendid work of ]. P. Sullivan in the one
mile run, when he Finished ten yards ahead
of Cohn and Joyce, his club mates. In the
fast time Of APP 40 This is the best time
made on any local track since Tommy Con-
neff was in evidence.
