SEATTLE, Wash. Aug. 1.-THE annual
senior championship meet Of the Amateur
Athletic union. held at the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition stadium this afternoon,
brought to the front a little Indian from
Arizona. who defeated the pick Of the
country's fve-mile runner.
Seattle carried off first honors in the
meet. The track team, under the colors
cf the local club, came out with IS points
90 its credit, while the Olympic Athletic
club Of san Francisco was second. with
20 points. and Chicago third, with %. The
winners fattened their total by taking all
three places in the 100 yard dash.
One OF the sensations Of the day was
the establishing of a new worlds record
in the sixteen-pound shot put by Ralph
Rose. the husky entry Of the olympic Ath-
letic club.
Already holder Of the title in this event,
his previous record wac 40 feet 10 inches,
made in New York September Z, 1905. To-
day ne hurled the iron ball a distance Of
COPS feet. Rose won further distinction to-
day by securing 2t points to his swn credit,
the greatest number secured by any athlete
during the meet.
In the 120-yard high hurdles Forest
Smithscn, Of the Multnomah club 81 Pert
land, ore. defeated Shaw Of Chicago, aud
oqualled the previous record Of 15b Sec
onds. The race was run against a strong
head wind, which undoubtedly prevented
the Oregon runner from establishing a new
record for this event.
The most spectacular event Of the day
was the five-mile race in which Harry MIC
Lean, an Indian from Phoenix, Ariz., was
pitted against the pick OF the country's
runner. The fleet-footed redman, who
was smaller than any Of his competitors,
fonL the lead in tho fn11vfh Ian ana set a
gruelling pace that soon played havoc with
the field. F. G. Bellars of the New York
Athletic club proved his most dangerous
competitor. and soon succeeded in taking
the lead from the Indian. He endeavored
10 slow down the pace, but Mclean forced
the issue and, by pressing his man, tired
him so that he could not stand the final
squirt, which began as the snot was fired
for the twentieth and last lap.
Bellars made a game effort against his
Indian opponent, and, with a brilliant
burst of speed, gathered a good lead. He
could not hold it, however. for Mclean
was on his heels at the half, and as they
entered the stretch the Arizona runner de-
veloped a burst of speed that sent him
across the line several yards the winner.
w. F. Jackson Of Seattle. who finished
third, came in a lap and a quarter behind
the winner. Mclean. who had a local
reputation at Phoenix, was sent t. Seattle
by the Phoenix Elks ledge. As a special
event, a relay race was run between teams
from New York Athletic club, Ct.-lsc and
Seattle, representing the east, m .ddle west
and far west, the latter finishing first and
fthe middle west second, with the east
<coming in last. Summaries:
