 ships on August 22ld.

Entries are already pouring in for the Connecticut track and field championships which are to be held under the auspices of the New Haven Amateur Athletes at Lighthouse Point New Haven, on Saturday, Au- the sanction of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States.
 Any athletes desiring entry blanks may obtain them by applying to the sporting editor of the Herald.
 List of Big Events.
 Almost the same championship events, with the exception of the 220 yards and the javelin throw, which takes the place of the 220, are to be held this year as last year. The 100 yards has been substituted for 70 yards and 3 mile run for the mile run. The field of competitors is al- ready very different from that of last year. The managers expect that the four lap track, which has been re- gently made at Lighthouse Point, will prove to be a great improvement over the nine lap track at Hallock avenue a year ago, and that the time in the track events and the distances in field events, which made the state record of 1913, will be better in almost ev- cry case in the championship meet of August 22.
 The sS0 yards was won a year ago by Max l.. Cohen of West Haven in 2m., 15s. Evans, a young colored flyer from Warehouse Point, is looked to as the 1914 champion at this dis tance. His friends claim he will make the time not far from minutes.
 In the running high jump, Cook of Hartford whose distance was 5 it.. 1-2 inches, has entered for this year, and it is said that the championship will probably lie be- tween him and Williams of Derby, who was his close competitor in 1913.
 Big Field of 40 Men.
 The time for the 44O last year made by M. F. O'Connor will not have a look-in with the time which is expected this year. O'Connor's s time was 1 min., 25 seconds. He is now making the quarter mile in 52 or 53 seconds. A big field of conn., petitors have entered for this quar- ter mile, which will without doubt be made in the best time ever made by amateur athletes in the state.
 In the shot-put, Holmauest of Hartford, the 1913 champion. and , A. F. Shaw of Crescent Beach, are entered Terry Gates of New Haven, who won the first place in 1913. was disqualified on account of a mix-up in his entry blank, but is expecting to straighten out matters and get his entry in for 1914. His distance last year was 46 feet and inches. Holm- quest was a close second in A feet, 2 inches.
 In the mile. time in 1913 in 5 minutes 5S seconds, unusually poor time. there is a fine chance for championship honors. Connecticut amateur athletes are weak at the mile with the exception of three or four college cracks, who are compet- ing for clubs outside the state, which bars them from competition in the state district championship games.
 Sandberg Already Entered.
 The three mile distance, which has been substituted for five miles in the 1913 championship, will bring out SOIH0 OI IHC UeSt Illluul0 ulSldHCS Iull- ners in the state.
