ATHLETES FROM ALL OVER
 COUNTRY IN 4. A. U. GAMES
Stars of Many Pastmes Will Compete in National
 Senior Championships

meet the champion who was beaten by Holden in the Metropolitan cham pionship last week. These three and Joie Ray should be in the forefront at the finish of the long run.
 While Meredith House, the Leland Stanford and Los Angeles <. c. Hurd Ter, could not come east on account of serious throat trodhle. the timber tcppers will be the feature of the meet and new championship time is almost sure to be registered for the shorter distances over the sticks. Murray Kelly, Thompson from the coast, Simpson of Missouri, French of Maine, with Engles, N. Y. A. C., and Jack Eller of the Irish-American A. C., leave nothing to be desired as to quantity and quality in a field of murders. On the longest of the three hurdle contests Meanix Goelitz Muenter and Scharf should take care of all other contenders.
 There is some doubt as to whether GoYlding will compete in the three mile walk. Renz, last years winner, is not entered and Boyce of Chicago of whom good reports have been sent east. is an unlikely starter. In the absence of these three Willie Plant of Long Island seems to have this event pretty well accounted for.
 On his showing in the Metropoli- tan javelin throw, Lincoln of the N. Y. A. c. might beat Bronder again while Liversedge the record holder may win the event.
 Sam Bellah could not come east for the pole vault so that Landers of Chi cago seems to be the most likely win ner.
 Big Pat Ryan of the Irish A. A. c. should have no difficulty in retaining the hammer honors, but in the 56 pound event the big fellow will meet Talbot, McEachern, McGrath and Mo Donald, anyone of whom is likely to beat him.
 Mucks, Ryan and Mcdonald should account for the shot put and the dis GUS honors should be divided between Mucks and Duncan.
 Platt Adams, N. Y. A. C.; Worthing- ton. Boston A. A., with Sisson from the coast and Simpson of Missouri should fill the point places in the running broad jump while Oler, Richards. Arickson. and Maher look the pick for the ulEn ne OlIcT Hclu eNcHl, the lhop-step and jump, must be con- ceded to Dan Ahearne of Chicago, the title holder.
 Following is a list of the winners who made the best marks in the re- cent championship meets held by the Pacific Coast, Central, Mid-Atlantic, New England and Metropolitan divis- ions, with the American records for each event:
