RUNNERS IN BUNCH
Close Finishes Mark the Paulist
Games.

Winners earned their laurels by inches
in 4 series of stirring finishes at the fourth
annual games of the Paulist Athletic Club
In the 18th Regiment Armory last night
SO closely punched were the leaders in sew
eral events that the judges had difficulty
in placing the men.
This uncertainty began in the final heat
or the sixty-yard handicap when d. J.
Ferris OF the Loughlin Lyceum. caught the
eye Of the Judges first, although many
thought c. Vester. a promising negro
spriuter, had won. Tester was placed only
third.
Interest in the final heat Of the 500
ward open was lessened because of the
failure Of J. J. McEntee to start. The New
York Athletic Club crack won his heat
from scratch, an / the spectators we're pre-
pared 10 root for him again, but he
failed TO appear
The scratch men. William Bailey and J.
Malone. never had a chance to win in the
three-mile open handicap. w. B. Schreiber
a National Athletic Club runner, with a
liberal start of 80 yards won by nearly
three-quarters of a lap from T. E. Nelson.
another limit man. Bailey quit quarter
OF mile from the finish.
The one-mIle handicap, open only to the
Catholic Athletic League, was hard fought
all the way, and J. J. O'Brien, Of the
Loughlin Lyceum won in the last stride

KAUFMAN WINS BOUT.
GiCes O'Brien a Good Thrash
ing IN Phfladelphid.

Philadelphia. Jan 1e-Jack O'Brien's g
ring generalship saved him tonight from
a terrible beating. and possibly a knock
ont, at the hands Of Al Kaufman. of San
Francisco. in six-round bout before the
National Athletic Club.
AT the close Of the fight both men we're
bleeding from the nose and mouth. and
O'Brinn had a badly swollen eve. bur
Kaufman was in far better condition than
the Phnadelpfian when the men left the
ring There was d tedious delay in getting
started because Kaufman insisted on the
gloves being weighed. Scales were finally
brought into the ring. and the "mitts'
were found TO be the correct weight
After this hitch the men were soon
in action O'Brien had defeated Kauff-
man in San Francisco about five years
ago and the Californian was a trife too
anxious or he might have earned sweet
revenge
There was little damage done in the first
round. but in the second Kaufman drove
his right under O'Brien's heart and crossed
= left to tho jaw. causing Jack TO clinch
The minute rest refreshed O'Brien wonder
fully and he had all the advantage I'm the
third round His exertions seemed to
weaken him. however, and had it not been
for his clinching in the fourth round
Brien would probably have been knocked
out About the middle of this round
Kaufman drove a wicked right 10 the
wind and hooked vicious left TO the chin
and O Brien dropped to his knees.
In the fifth and sixth rounds O'Brisn
would not allow the Californian to get set.
The Philadelphian would jab the nose with
A left and then rush TO a clinch before
Kaufman could land with effect. In the
middle Of the sixth round Kaufman caugI
o Brien coming in and almost lifted him
of his feet with right uppercut. o Brien
ClIuC1ed and saved himself.
II is doubtful whether o Brien could have
lasted another round. even with all of his
brilliant footwoTk. Kaufman gave his
weight at 195 pounds. while O'Brien said
he weighed Ia pounds.

FIVE DIE IN FIRE.
ShirtzcaiSt Factory Destroyed
-FiUe Girls Fatally Burned.

Philadelphia Jan 1s.-Four girls and ona
man leaped TO their death to-day in A
panic caused by fire in the four story
factory building at Nos. 20S and 21o Chan
celor street, near I'd and Walnut streets
Five others received injuries from which
they viii probably die. and many more
were less seriously hurt.
Nearly all Of the dead and severely in
iured were employed in the shirtwaist fac
tory of Joseph Chachkin, which occupied
part of the fourth floor OF the buiIdinr-
Chachkin himself was injured One of his
daughters is dead and another is diving
third daughter probably escaped A like fate
by being at home attending the mother
who is critically I'll. Chachkin's fore. of
operators was greatly reduced. owing TO
the shirtwaist strike.
The fire. which started In the elevator
shaft on the fourth floor, is supposed 10
have been caused by the short circuiting
of the electric motor which ran tho ele-
vator. Although the fire spread rapidIv
the employees of the other establishments
in the same building nearly all managed to
escape In safety.
The girls and men In Chachkin's factory,
became panicstricken and iumped wildly
from the fourth story windows Men on
tas street spread blankets and an awning
to break their falls but in the dense
smoke which filled the narrow street many
fen to the Uavement before these impro
vised nets could be extended for them
The building was perfectly equipped with
fire escapes, and nearly every window had
a rope These proved useless. however to
the panicstrickeu shrtwaIst makers. Ona
man. instead OF lowering the rope ana
sliding down il, jumped from the window
with the rope loose in his. hands He died
with fractured skull. Others burned their
hands 10 the bone in their rapid descent on
the ropes.

Golf Pot Still BOILING
Resolution Adopted in the West Hangs Like d
Club Over the National Body.

The golf pot continues to boil. even
though the disgruntled ones I'm the West
rave temporarily decided TO defer radical
action, amounting to secession, until some
future date. This is shown by the full text
or the resolution passed at the annual
meeting of the Western Golf Association in
Chicago last Saturday night
The original amendments TO the con-
sitution OF the Western body to change
the name and remove all geographical lines
were withdrawn, but in their place new
resolutions We're submitted and adopted
which not only provide for a change of
name. but go further by empowering the
board of directors to institute a movement
for the formation of an American or ma
tonal association which. if organized. shall
become the recognized golf governing body
or North America, or such part thereof as
may be mutually determined by it's crea-
tors
Whether or not this action on the part Of
the Western association can be construed
as another slap at the United States COLE
Association must for the time being at
least. remain largely a matter of opinion.
Anyhow, it will furnish more food for
thought snd discussion. Possibly the
estern action Will be explained to the
satisfaction OF all concerned at the annual
meeting or the United states Golf Associa-
ton to he held IN this city tomorrow
night
The resolutions adopted by the Western
Golf Association Saturday which were
received by mail in this city yesterday, fol-
low:
Whereas. The delegates attending the
last annual meeting of this association
unanimously adopted the following
resolution. to wit.
That the president Of this aesocis+to,,

Resolved. That the board of direc-
tors of this association he and are hereby
empowered and directed to immediately
institute movement for the creation of
an American or national organization of
solf associations, to embrace this asso-
the recognized golf governing body of

may be mutually determined by it's Crea-
tors, anG that said board of directors be
and are hereby instructed to solicit the
active cooperation of other golf associa-
tions in forwarding the work Of creating
such character of organization to an early
and successful completion: be it
Resolved. That action the reso-
lutions TO amend the constitution of this
association be postponed until the next
annual meeting. or To some special meet
ing to be called in accordance with the
provisions of the constitution OF this as
Sociation. where further consideration may
be given tho same without further special
notice.
Several golfers who read the resolutions
last night expressed the opinion that they
were rather ambiguous and open to differ
ent interpretations. II was the feeling,
however. that action on the same would
never be taken if the national body showed
an inclination at the meeting tomorrow
night to meet the West halfway and open
the road to lasting peace.
