the scoring twelve hold forth in New
york and of the total 200 points scored
90 were compiled by New York athletes.
During the early stages of the meet
the Boston A. A. and the Meadowbrook
club of Philadelphia pressed the New
York A. c. hotly for the laurels. In the
Acid events however, the Mercury Foot
4rs made a big squirt and forged to the
fore They opened up a gap Of IA points
on the Boston A. A., which finished Sec
and. two points ahead of the Multnomah
A. C. of Portland, Ore, and Meadow
, brook Club of Philadelphia, which tied
for third with IS points each. The

Seven New York Champions.
OF the nineteen new champions seven
come from New York, four from Boston,
three from Portland, Ore. two from
Baltimore, one from San Francisco and
one from Pittsburg. s. HARRISON Tomson
OF Princeton University, who captured
the 220 yard low hurdles halls from Los
Angeles He is a younger brother OF the
former all around champion OF the
United States, Chaplain Fred Thomson,
who won the grenade throw for the
United States in the recent interallied
meet in France. Young Thomson, win
ner of the hurdles to-day, finished sec
ond to his brother in the grenade throw
al the big military games in France.
The small track team of the Multno-
nah A c. of Portland, Ore, made a
splendid showing. The Multnomah A.
C. was the only club to win more than
three championships. The boys from the
Sunset slopes of the Rockies bagged three
titles. Arthur Tuck of the Multnomah
A C. won the javelln throw and his
eliminates, John Murphy and Ralph
Srearow. took first places in the run
ming high jump and the pole vault re-
spectively.
To the Muitnomah A, c. also went the
honor of hanging up thelone record of
the day. Arthur Tuck registered the
record wrecking performance in the last
event of the meet, the javelin throw.
The young giant from the sun kissed
slopes of the Rockies hurled the barbed
spear 17s feet ~ inches, knocking 10
feet y inches from the former national
junior championship meet record OF 1877
feet az inches made by r. Thomson OF
the Illinois A C. last year.
Tuck shows skill.
Tuck will be a most dangerous con-
tender for senior laurels tomorrow, for
the javelin was thrown from soggy foot
Ing and his hurl would have been good
for 1876 feet under better conditions
Because the University of Pennsylvania
authorities did not want the turf al
Franklin Field torn up. the hammer
throw, javelin throw, discus and shot
puts were held In a vacant lot outside
OF the grounds. The circles for the
weights were bad and will initiate
against record breaking performances
In the senior events tomorrow.
II is doubtful IL any records are
smashed in the track events tomorrow
despite the fact that in several of the
contests some of the worlds greatest
athletes will measure strides Some
minor official at Penn, acting upon his
own initiative, had a layer of cinderI
put on the track. 1t has changed the
lightning fast Franklin Field course into
slow track. The official upon WHOSE
orders the work was done has been dis
charged by the university authorities
Out the damage has been done and the
national championship meet will suffer
In consequence.
Other things initiated against tn,
junior athletes to-day. The Afternoon
was one Of mingled sunshine and shower
and several of the events were run IL
downpour of rain. The rain left tn,
