SEATTLE, Aug. 13.-Before an en-
thusiastic crowd the first days events
in the annual championship meet of
the Amateur Athletic union were run
off in theAlaska- Yukon Pacific exposi-
| tion stadium this afternoon. Today's
program was given over entirely to the
| juniors, the team entered under the
colors of the Seattle Athletic club car
rying off the honors with ease. This
was due in a great measure to the
| large number of contestants entered by
| the local association in the junior
events, the crack men from the east
| being held for the senior championships
| tomorrow
Despite the fact that the entries to-
| day were all juniors, one new Amerl-
can record was established. This was
in the javelin throw, Il. Gish of the
Seattle Athletic club hurling the slen-
der spear a distance of 144 feet, eclips-
ing the previous American record of
1S1 feet inches made by Pratt Adams
| at Philadelphia, June 6, 1908. Two A.
| A. u junior records were made, but
| only one of them was allowed to stand.
The valid one was made in the mile
run, when j. Ballard of the Boston
Athletic association made the four
| laps in 4:24 3-5.
The one that was not allowed to
Sldnu WAS I1ldut ny W. 1ObeAu VI liz

high hurdles. His time was 10 30, but
