Than the Champion.

New York, Oct 5.-The duel between
John J. Flanagan and Matthew J. Nc
Grath, the giant weight-throwers. was
the all-absorbing feature of the police
games at Celtic Park to-day. and what
ever spectators were there came chiefly
TO see the big men in the hammer-throw-
ing contest.
1t was a handicap event, but there was
a split-up for the man with the longest
throw. irrespective of the result. Both
were on scratch and McGrath. although
he did not win first prize. got away with
the lions share of the honors. for ne
made the longest throw MCGraths dis
tance was 10 feet 1912 inches. while the
best to Flannagan's credit was 156 feet
10ls inches.
Flanagan in one OF his trials, got in a
frightful wallop. said TO be more than Us
feet. but his legs went foul of the 7-foot
circle and the great effort went for
naught
Up TO tO-day's competition matters in
