NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-I confidently
believe that tho bulk Of the honors
of the national championship meeting
of the A. A. u to be held in New Or
leans in October will 20 to western
athletes. The fact that F. c. Thomson,
of Los Angeles, won the all-around
championship in Chicago, merely tends
70 strengthen this belief. Thomson s
nearest competitor was another Wester"
ner. John ellis, of Vancouver.
The Olympic club of San FRANCISCO
has announced that it will send Rose,
PIaw Edwards, Miller, Snedigar, Ger
hart and Scott. the Stanford university
pole vaulter. Were none others to come
from the coast, these men would cause
trouble in the best company and WIN
frsts from the best the world could
produce.
Last year Rose made a record for
ampionship work by winning three
frsts and two seconds, a total of l2l
points. He could always throw the
hammer pretty we'll and could heave
the fifty-six pounds respectable DIS,
tance with a heave, but he surprised
the crowd when he walked up to the
scratch and showed that he knew how
to throw the javelin, for IN the teetn
of strong gale he threw l3l rect,
inches, beating Gish, who made an
American record of 144 feet the day
previous in the junior championship.
AT the Portola festival in Frisco last
October. Rose sent the jayehn loo feet,
though singularly enough it only earned
second place for him.
M Rose Is Strong.
" Ever since he has been practlclnR 10
pitch tho long lance, and word from
Healdsburg. Cal, where he lives. ie to
the effect that he is beating lTO feet
every day. Last year his limit WIN
the 56 was about 80 feet He used TO
spin around twice in the most awkward
manner, but by constant work he has
acquired the right knack and is getting
big work and expects to stagger the
record There is no man In sight now
good enough to give Rose hold In
the shot, young Russell Lawrence of
the New York A. c.. being his closest
attendant For some time past Rose
has had an ambition that he would
Same day put the shot SO feet, In the
triple meet at Frisco last fall he did
a fraction over 81 feet and his practice
with the sphere in private leads him to
think that he will accomplish his am"
bition this year IN the championship.
In their most hopeful moments the
(. fasteners can hardly expect that there
is man in the metropolitan district
who. can trouble Edwards over the high
sticks. Last October he took the meas
ure of the great Forrest Smithson, and
it was no fuke race, either, for the
time was Is Is seconds 1t was said
to be the grandest hurdle race ever
seen. They took the obstacles like one
man until the last, where Smithson
stumbcd and Edwards gained a yard
which he held to the worsted,
Chicago Lad Likely.
! The Chicago A. A, followers are very
sweet in their expectations over Lelle
Byrd a young discus thrower. He is
only IS wears of age, but he is won
der for his years At the Illinois uni
versity field day meet, last May, he
sent the discus 130 feet. II inches, and
he is reported to be much better now,
The youngster is feet, IL inches tall,
and tips the beam Ak ls5 pounds. He
will he on the Cherry circle team for
New Orleans, and the same stable will
have Davenport, the college star. who
can beat 10 seconds for the 440 yards,
us well as Frank Irons, the Olympic
champion broad jumper,
The new plant of the Chicago White
I Sox is to be the model for the new
+ grounds and stands that the New York
American league club is to build by
next spring. Frank Farrell has had
agents in the Windy City cooking over
Comiskey Park, and the report that has
been made of the latest thing in the
way of baseball plant has struck the
owner of Che lIighlanders as just about
the right thing for him to erect on his
+. new grounds,
The structure that Charley Comiskey
put up is one Of the simplest Of any
Of the modern day plants. No cost has
been spared to make the new stands on
the south side as complete as any that
there are. but the architects found that
rthey could improve on the big stands
In Pittsburg by not using as many
heavy iron beams, and there is there
fore only about one-half the amount
OF iron in the Chicago plant that there
~ in TIE Pittsburg plant. The cost is
4 therefore reduced, but tho efficiency OF
the plnnt is not lessened. Manager
SfaIlings and his men are greatly
pleased with the prospects, that they
have of getting home like the one
that the White Sox are now enjoying.
