Cricket Teams Put Up
Exciting Finish
Well Earned Victory for the Pa
CifcS After an UnIucky
Beginning
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
By William Unn1ack

Congratulations to the Pacific cricket
team, winners of the California asso-
citation championship and cup for the
season of 19OS-9. The Pacifics started
the season disastrously and lost their
first three matches. In the early
stages they were unable on numerous
occasions TO get full team together,
but many of the oldtime members ral-
lied to the standard later. The Elliot
brothers and Howard returned to the
city and the batting of the brothers
and bowling of Howard were big fac
tors in the ultimate victory of the
veteran team.
The fight for the honor was a hard
one, and the Alamedas lost at the
eleventh hour. San Francisco rallied
at the end and Its defeat of Alameda
gave the championship to the Pacifics.
1t is TO be regretted that any un-
pleasantness should have occurred in
game at the end of the season. but
this was the case at the Barbarian
Wanderer match last week. The Bar
barians were fielding three substitutes,
while awaiting the appearance of men
selected on the original team One of
.barian captain sent him in to bat
The Wanderers skipper objected. Real
ly the objection was out of place, as
to field. but mot bat or bowl" The
game went to the Barbarians, the
Wanderers refusing to continue.
The final complete batting and
bowling averages are as follows:

New Worlds Record
for High Hurdles
B. Shaw Goes I20 Yards
Easily i'm Fifteen Sec
OHdS Flat

CHICAGO, Sept. IA worlds record
for the 40 yard high hurdles was es-
tablished today at the annual meeting
Of the Central amateur athletic asso-
citation on Marshall field The contests
resulted in an easy victory for the Chi
cago athletic association, which scored
60 points, compared with 19 points for
its nearest rival, the University OF Chi
cago.
The new high hurdle record for 12O
yards was established by Arthur B.
Shaw OF Joliet, Ill, q graduate of Dart
mouth, who lowered the time to 15 sec
onds. His time might easily have been
better had he had opposition, but he fin
ished far in the lead and slowed down
as he approached the tape. Once before
at an eastern meet Shaw did the dis
tance in ia fat. but the record was not
allowed. as he was aided by strong
wind.
The absence of John C. Garrells was
the bitter disappointment of the after
noon so far as track events were con-
cerned. Garrells participated in the
weight events, but owing to an injured
leg did not enter the hurdles. j. A.

who was expected to try for a worlds
record at l20 meters, did not attend the
