dent at the Track Meet.

Amateur Athletic Union took place here
to-day and it was in many ways remark
able. The new worlds records were shat
tered, along with a chapter Of surprises
upsets, and dumps.
By far the most absorbing event Of the
day was the 1G0-yard, in which the
stars were Dan Kelly, Of Oregon Univers-
fly. and holder Of the worlds record of
S-5 seconds. and Herbert Parsons, an
other flyer from the Pacific Coast. Every
body wanted to have a look at Kelly, and
they got a good square peep at him in the
second trial, in which he barely won in
10 2-5 seconds. Parsons won the third heat
in exactly the same time. In short, the
time Of all the three trial heats was the
same. Eaton, Of the Boston Athletic Asso-
citation. won the first. with Hun, of Chi
cago. second.
In the final heat Kelly and Parsons did
not appear TO have much life left il them.
and HUFF, of Chicago, won by about Is
inches from Eaton, with Parsons close
third, Kelly was fourth. There was some
doubt about the placing of the men, and
not few thought that Seitz. of the New
York Athletic Club, should have been
among the placed men, but, of course, the
ruling Of the judges was final.
Hun No Mean Splinter.
HUFF showed that he was no mean
Splinter or that his wind was no fuke, for
he got premier honors in the 220-yard as
Well Kelly said that he was bothered by
the heavy climate OF the East, but he
showed that after all he is a great ath-
lete, for he went from the final OF the 100
yards 10 the ad-jumping contest, which
he won with the splendid performance Of
3 feet il inches. Taylor, the coIored man
from the University Of Pennsylvania, won
the 440-yard run. after being jostled all
over the track. Coholan. OF Yale. who
wore the winged foot, was in the race,
and being short Of wind did not figure in
the dash on the home stretch. The FIVE
mile run was productive of a stirring fin
ish between John Daily and George Y.
Bonhag. DAILY dogged Bonhag all the way
until the bell sounded, when the big Irish
man let out ink and ran Bonhag off his
legs. The tines minutes and 4 sec
onds-is the best bit of lonE-distance
work since the palmy days Of Carter and
Connect
The field events contributed some fine
sport, which was marred somewhat at
the outset by an accident TO one of the
weight thrOwers officials The man was
John Walsh. Of the Pastime A c.. and
he suffered a compound fracture of the
right leg below the knee. The head flew
on John Flannagan's hammer during one
OF the trials and struck Walsh in the calf
Of the leg, causing the injury. He was
taken % the hospital on the grounds
Shot Put Record Smashed,
In the 16-pound shot put Ralph Rose
Of the Olympic a c., Of San Francisco
doomed up like a COLOSSUS and he won the
contest with put of % feet 6 ID inches.
This put beat the old worlds record Of
49 feet inches by A "A. Coe. Of Boston, al
the Portland Exposition two years ago.
John J. Flanaghan took mighty twist
out Of the 56-pound weight, which he sent
Ss feet s inches, beating mis- own former
worlds record mark by SIS of an inch.
Con Leahy won the high jump, easily
doing 6 feet 1 inch and he has now a
unique distinction, that of being Olympic.

the same time.

suited in an overwhelming victory for
