O'COnnor and 0'COnnell of the
Pastime A. G. Finish i'm Sec
Ond and Third Places.

Dan Shea, one OF New York citys
fire fighters and a member of the Pas
time A. c.. successfully defended his
title of Metropolitan A. A. U. all around
champion won in 1918 in the champion
ship event which was contested at the
annual games of the Leitrim Mems As
sociation at Celtic Park in Long Island
City yesterday. The competition was
not held last year, which explains the
holding of the title by Shea for two
wears. Tha fireman athlete retained his
honors with the winning score OF 6.454 "
points. Pat O'Connor. clubmate OF
the winner, was second, with $3.50
points. AMI William J. O'Connell. also
representing the famous nursery OF ath-
letes. was third, with 1870 points.
Shea was particularly effective and
earned the greatest number OF his points
by victories or ties in the running
Ing. O'Connor's greatest strength was
shown in the weight events, In which he
captured first honors.
Shea AMI O'Connor staged a thrilling
finish in the one mile run, which was
the final event Of the competition.
O'Connor led by two yards until Wen
into the hornestretch, when Shea chal-
lenged. The champion passed his Club
mate and appeared an easy winner un-
til within twenty-five yards Of the fin
ish, where O'Connor came again and
forced Shea to do his best to win by
two feet. II was pluclky work by two
men who had taxed their energies thor
oughly IN variety OF other trying
events.
McGrath Beats Mcdonald.
In a special all around weight throw
ing competition those two whales OF the
athletic field, Pat Mcdonald and Matt
McGratf, had a battle royal. The con-
ditions OF the competition called for
hammer throwing, shot putting and
weight throwing. First prize finally
went to McGrath, who captured two
of the three events and rolled up
total of Is points as against IL Tor NC
Donald. McGrath's successes were
asrnsd IN the hammer and weight con-
tests.
In the oren events Joseph Tveiten,
Norwegian runner, wearing the colors
Of the Pastime A. c., won the one mhe
handicap In clever style. He was far out
OF It in thu early stages Of the race, put
running with good judgment all the time
gradually made up ground and got up
in the stretch to carry off the primer
pal award by five yards. The sum-
maries:
