AMERICANS WON THEM AL English Athletes Shown How it is Done by Brother Jonathan, SEVERAL WORLD'S RECORDS BROKEN Sweeny, Aft Winning the Hizh | Jump, Tries it Again and Smashes he Record—Clenn Sweep Was n rprive Even to the Amerieans. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Never in the hix- tory of athletics has there been such a suc- cesstul serles of eontests held in a single day, the world over, as the international games between the London Athletic club and the New York Athletic club representatives at Manhattan fleld this afternoon, Between the emashing of records, hair ralsing finishes, and above all the entire shutting out of the visitors from even winning first honors in any of the eleven contests on the program, the 15,000 spectators who gathered within the inclosure, thronging the stands and filling the bleachers, as well as every point of van- tage, were kept in a continual ferment of ex- citement, which was only relieved at times by wild bursts of enthuslasm. ¢ For days past the committze who had the matter in charge had sent out notices that all the grand stanl had been disposel that only a fow were left on the rs and side stands. The committea of arrangements hal every seat and support in the stands Inspected by experts, and when one soction was found to be unsafe n a smill degree they refrained from s:ling a tick:t for that section, and when other parts of the grounds were p:cked to suffce tion oday the had police officers stationed at this particuac point and no person was allowed to go neir i CROWD WAITING AT THE GATES. The entrance gates at the diff:rent parts of the fizld were opened shortly af.er noon to admit the impatient crowd who were per- epiring outside, where they had been stand- ing for over an hour under the blisiesing rays of the hot sun. After the first mad rush had sub'ilel the visitors arrival in steady streams, filling all the avalable space by the fme the first event on the pro.r:m w.& cal ed at 2:30 o'clock. The grand stands were fillel with the weal'h and fashion of New York, cnd the gay toilets of the ladies were a pleasing relief to the background of storm-beatea boards and planks of which the stanls are cons:ructed. There was very little decora‘ion to b: sesn, with the exception of the flags on the poles which markel the different fin- ishes, while the balcony of the club house was festooned with the American and British flags on cach side. To some of the Britishers the American heat was just a bt encrvating. The men who would have had the temerity to predict that the Americans would sweep everything betore them would have been laughed at by the majority of those who have made a study of athletics, In the 880 yards run, with which the games began, Kilpatrick and Lyons were solected to mest Horan and Lewls, the English representatives, After a boautiful race Kilpatrick won by ten yards. When the numbers went up anl the time was an- nounced, beiting the world’s record by a second, (he crowd cheered wiidy, and arzuel that this was a good omen for the success of the American teim. The 100 yards dash was the second event. Bradley, the English champion, and Steven- son represented England. John V. Crum of Towa and B. J. Wefers of Lowell, Mass., rep- resented the American team. When the pis- tol shot rang out Wefers was seen to be in front from the start, with Bradley second, Crum third and_Stevenson fourth. There was no change throughout the race, Wefers maintaining his lead to the tape by two feet, Bradley sccond, about twelve inches ahead of Crum. When the time, 0:09 4-5, was put up the audience again got 1o cheering, for the world's record had been equalled and the Englishmen convinced that 10 flat could be en. e GAVE THEM A SURPRISE. The running high jump then interested the onlookers, and while the Englishmen con- fessed that they could not come anywhere near Sweeney, the latter had a bit of sur- prise up his sleeve. Baltazai, the youthful Jumper, was selected as a second string to the champion, while Willlams of the Edin- ‘burgh university and Johnston of Cambridge were pitted against them. All but Sweeney saon fell out as the bar was raised. It was placed at six feet five and one-half Inches in order to give Sweeney a chance to break his own world's record of six feet five and one-eighth inches. With a superbuman ef- fort he made the jump and cleared the bar amid great applause. Thus he established a new record of six feet five and one-half inches, which was increased to six feet five and five-eighths inches when the height was remeasured at the request of some of the bystanders. Baltazzi was awarded second place. In the mile run, with Conneff and Orton of the New York Athletic club and Willam E. Lutyens, the only representative of the Lon- don Athletic club, the Englishman fell out and lay on the grass about 150 yards from the tape. Conneft finished first in 4:18 1-5. The 220 yards run brought together Jor- dan and Downer of England and Wefers and Crum of New York. Wefers won by fully three yards from Crum, who was about one yard before Jordan. Again a world's record had been broken, as the time was 0:21 35, In the hurdles Captain Godfrey, Shaw and Qakley were against Chase and Cady. Chase managed to beat out the English captiln by about two feet, with Oakley three yards back. Once more o world's record was lowered, as the time, 0:15 2-5, beat Chase's world's record by a fifth of a second. The prettiest race of the day was the quarter mile run. Fitzierbert, the Cambridge university man, who has a record of 0:48 3 5,was partnercd by Gilbert Jordan on behalf of the Englisnmen, while Burke and Sands did bat- tle for Ameriea. About 100 yards from home Jordan took the lexd. The Boston boy, Burke, finally caught his man a yard from the tape and won by a couple of inches in a great effort. Fitzherbert was @ good third. The time was 0:49, which was only half a second behind the world's record. WON THESE WITH EASE. In the fleld events the Americans had a walkover, Gray winning the putting of the sixteen-pound shot. Mitehell won the ham- mer contest with a throw of 137 feet five and a half inches, and Robertson, the only Eng- lish competitor, was away off, he having six fouls in his six attempts. In the broad jump Bloss and Sheldon made twenty-two feet six inches and twenty-one feet eleven inches re- spectively, beating the English representa- tives, In the three mile run Horan and Wilkins, Englishmen, ran against Conneff and Kilpat- vick. At the beginning of the third mile Horan led Conneff by a yard, but was show- ing stgns of distress. Connefl went past him at the club house and Horan stopped. Con- neft increased his lead to 100 yards, and spurting in the home stretch beat the Eng- lshman by 150 yards in 15:36 This ended the day's sport, which proved | 80 disastrous to the Enghish visitors. The | Englishmen had no reason to complain, how- ever, as the crowd was mosi impartial. Bvery effort of the Britishers was well applauded. | Summaries: First event, $S0-yari 3 New York Athletic ‘elub, < and H. 5. Lyons; Lo Frederick 8. Horan pid « patrick won, Horan' secon !

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Henry of Navarre's colors were lowered today in a fine which was witnessed by 7,000 spectators, He | had to take up the crushing weight of 128 | pounds, and give more than he could afford under the circumstances. They got away in line at the first attempt, and as they came down past the grand stand Sir Walter was setting the pace, a slow one, with Rey el Santa Anita second and the others close up. The first quarter was run in twenty-five see- onds, as was the second. In the next quarter they began to run in earnest, and reached the three-quarters in 1:14%. Taral on Rey el Santa Anita began riding as they rushed around the last turn, but could not shake oft Sir Walter, who kept his nose in front. Clif- ford began to move up and was making a bid for the lead in company with Sir Excess and Henry of Navarre. The mile was run In 1:41%, and several were out of it. Sir Wal- ter and Rey el Santa Anita hung on a bit longer, but at a mile and a furlong there were only three in it. Cliftord was leading casily, with Sir Excess next and Griffin try- ing hatd to get Henry of Navarre to the front. He could mot do It, however, and Clifford passed the judges leading by a length and a half, with Sir Excess and Navarre following him. In the first race, Margrave, an oddson favorite, won easily. In the mile and a half Nanki Pooh was even money with Con- nossieur second. Tom Moore led for a mile, when Nanki Pooh won as he pleased, with Pepper second. Darfarglla was the medlum for a heavy plunge in the third race, but could not stay with Waltseer, who won at the 0dds of 8 to 5. In the Atlanta stakes, Floretta 1V led to the stretch, when Rey el del Carreres took first position, winning casily, with Applause second. In’ the last Leonawell, the favorite, won in a hard drive by a head from Discount. Summaries: First race, five furlongs: Margrave (2 to 5 won, Sweet Favordale (6 to 1) second, Forum' (20 to 1) third.

The attend- Last Day of a Suc ance throughout was not what such fine exhibitions of speed deserved. Secretary Cunningham and President Stewart of the Kansas City Jockey club, who had the management of the races in charge, have made a very favorable impression here, and have put forth their best efforts to make the meeting the big success it deseryed to be. They leave tomorrow for the south without "leaving any unpald bills. Of the bookmakers, Parson Martin has the most cause for complaint, for his foreign and local bocks were both heavy losers, but he took his losses in such a philosophical manner that no one would know from his looks that he goes out of town with con- siderably less money than he brought here. For the closing day there were four races carded, and all were good ones. In the second’ race Brown Dick repeated his per- formance and went the thirteen-sixteenths of & mile in 1:22 the track record, beat- ing a field in_which were Bob Clampeit, Alva, Charlle Weber and Importance. The third race was changed to a handicap, and Theodore H 'beat Josephine with ' four pounds handicap. He went the fifteen- sixteenths of a mile In 1:36%. 1In the fourth race, in heats, Roy distinguished himself and ‘beat out the field, winning easily both heats in 0:49. Before ‘the last race, a _mile and a quarter hurdle was run. Colonel Ed Brown of California offered J. R, Hand, the owner of Moss Terry, $1.000 for the horse, and the offer was ‘accepted. This sale and the negotiations that were on for Sam Farmer and a number of scratches broke up the race.

The teams were com as follows: Y. M. C. A, Fort Omaha. Ruger .. ¢ . Kearney Pickering oo Allen Van C § .

This woke up the Young Men's Christian as- soclation boys, who set in to force the pace, but the.soldiers were quite equal to the occasion and put up a hot game. ardicer and Cavanagh were playing a together and Brogan was of and by a combined run on part of ‘these men Gardiner, for the rs, scored again, eleven minutes after oal. The fate of the Christians was then sealed, but despite the oads against them théy pkyed very pluckily. Evans sent in a beautiful shot on resum- ing play, but Cavanagh headed it out and Brogan securing the- leather made a rush at the Young Men's Christian assoclation goal, but Van Camp,flogred him and Pick- ering transferred the play to the other end of the field. Half time’ was then called, and the Young Men's Christian association played Ruger In goal instead of Mahuron Cavanagh kicked off at the commencement of the second half for the fort, and Brogan dribbled the ball well down and sent in a hot one, which Ruger repulsed in good Style, dnd’ Gardiner' put 1w another, ® but Van ' Camp checked’ him and _cleared his goal of danger. North then had a good opportunity, but was .wild, and sent the ball away'over the cross bars. Brogan and Gardiner made Several good runs, but the former was inclined to use his hands both on the men and the ball, and fre- quently charged his 9pponents béhind their backs Prickett made severdl splendid runs along the left, but was poorly’ supported by his partner,’ but the best forward play was between Wilkins, Evans and Redfield. Their combined play at times was very neat and effective. Wilkins caysed Allen to con- cede a corner which In defending the latter used his arm on it, which was foul, and a free kick was allowed close to the soldiers' stronghold, but the Christians failed to notch a point, owing to the excellent de- fense of the visitors. The home team was weak at half back, but the play at full back and goal was very good and averted stronger defeat. North and Russell were a couple of excellent halves and the full of the fort played a strong game. The success of the winners was mainly due to their good fortune and their defeat was only averted by their heavy weight and untiring energy, but it was plainiy seen that the soldiers were the aggressors in weight, while the Young Men's Christian assoclation showed up the science of the game and made the more brilliant attacks, There was not a very large crowd of spectators, but those who turned out spoke well of the interest which the new game affords.

PHILADELPHIA WELL AHEAD Lead of Over Two Hundred in the Inter- national Cricket Match, OXFORD-CAMBRIDGE IS QUICKLY OUT Druce Bowled for 30, While the In- nings Yields but the Small Total of 156—Detaily of the Play, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21.—The Gentle- men of Philadelphia finished their second innings today in the international cricket match with Oxford and Cambridge, past and present, and the English collegians will have to make 217 runs in their remaining innings to win the match. The local men made 135 in the second, which, added to the 234 made in the first, makes a grand total of 372, as against the Englishmen's 156 in the firit. Today's play was begun with Hill and Druce, the overnight not outs, at the wick- ets. Shortly afterward Hill was caught out by Noble for forty-one. Druce, the visitors® most formidable bat, and the third best in England, was clean bowled by King for thirty, and the other foreigners all went under for small scores. King proved himself a “demon,” and took seven wickets for fifty- five runs, four being clean bowls. On tne other hand, Lowe did even more remarkable work, clean bowling six men for only fifteen runs. Patterson again did star work for the local team, defending the wickets without offering a chance from 11 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. At the latter hour he lifted on> from Lowe which bourded to the club house poreh, but on the next ball the English demon had his revenge and clean bowled him for 67. In the early part of the inning Wilson of the vist ing team was hit in the throat by a tall fiom Patterson’s bat and was obl'ged to retire temporarily, King of Philadelphia substitut- ing for him. Play will be resumad on Mon- day. y(.fiN'l‘L!-‘.\llCN OF PHILADELPHIA, First innings: G. 8. Patterson, W. W. Noble, Iy won by the score of two goals to none.

BEA’ BENEDICT DBachelor Cricketers Prove Easy for Their Married Brethren. Whether it was the late festivities or the blustery day that was responsible for poor attendance at the cricket game it would be hard to say, vet the fact remains that the Married versus Single Saturday match was not quite the success that it usually is. There was not even the full complement of players, and it is a noticeable fact that whenever this is the case the game becomes devoid of the greater part of its interest. The Bachelors, who went in first, opened their innings with Messrs. New and Taylor. After making 2 each both these batsmen took a “back seat.’ To itemize the performances of the re- maining players on the side of the bacheiors would be a profitless task. This latter re- mark will be the more readily understood when it i stated that the “‘Lonely Ones" were all gotten rid of for the magnificent total of 21 runs, The hour for the Benedicts came when Messrs. Woodman and Gilbert, as partners, essayed to do their share with the “willow. Their share, unfortunately for them, did not amount to much on this occasion, as they were both retired in short order. Ford, the next comer, started in well, but before he could make his dozen a ball from Taylor retired him. Francis, who went in on the fall of the econd wicket, succeeded in making his tal 7" before subsequent proceedings lost further interest for him. G. Vaughan, Captain Lawrie and J. Neal the next three batsmen, all did themselves credit with the bat. The last named player with 18 “not out" to his credit deserves more than passing mention, especially as his kit for 6 was one of the biggest, If not the biggest hit, that has been made on the grounds this season. Rey. J. P. D. Liwyd and Mr. Potter (no relation, be it understood, to him of Texas) both helped to swell the Score of their side, the former with 4 and the latter with 2. The fall of the last wicket saw 90 on the “telegraph board,” from which it will be seen that the Benedicts won the match by £9 runs. Captain Lawrle looked after the Benedicts, while to Harry New fell the lot of piloting the Lonely Ones. Scores: H. New. : % R. W. Taylor, ¢ Neale, : 3 W. Vaughan, b G. Vaughan C. Hill, run out. J. C.

Y., Sept. 2L.—Th first race of the best three out of five atches between Spruce 1V, representing the Minema Yacht club of England, the challenger, and thel Wynn, the represent- ative of the Indian Harbor Yacht club, the defender, which was begun today, was not a success, because there was ro little wind that tha contestants could not make the ca within the limit of five hours, and on that account the event was nullificd by the race committee. When the yachts were measured by John Hyslop_ it was found that Ethel Wynn stood for 14x24 feet and Spruee stood for am even 15 feet. The sall areas had to be taken into comsideration in com- puting this racing length, but it was discov- ered that the challenger carrled almost as much sail as her rival, and that fact en- hanced the prospeetive power of the nglish | boat.
