EKCLAND AGAIN BEATEN
Her Athletes Snowed Under In New
York, Saturday.
AMERICANS WON EVERYTHING
yietors Make Tkres World's Records and
Equal Another Americans Took
Eloven Events lie fore 13,000
Spectators.
All Kngland's athletws wearing the
emblem of the London Athletic club
were alKnally defeated Uy America's
pride, the guUaivt New York Atliletlo
club champions, at Manhattan Field
Saturday. There were eleven events on
the programme, says the Sun. and all
were won by the Yankees. Except In
one contest, the quarter-mile rim, the
r.rito'is were so easily outclassed 4 licit
the rfsult of the great iutrrnat-loiittl
enntllrt was a source of wild enthusi
asm for the lu.VUO spectators, who sat
for 'our hours In the broiling sun and
weakeiiiiiR humidity to watch the ef
forts of these sons of Mercury.
As If to further demonstrate their su
periority over the queen's subjects the
Americans established three world's
records, broke another one. but it
could not be allowed because of a slight
technicality, and equalled still anotiher.
In only Ave events did the KiiKllshm.-u
succeed in taking second place, so that
this is another bit of evidence to show
how sorry a showing .they made.
There was no chance to quibble In
any way, for the foreigners were treat
ed with the utmost fairness by the otll
clals. and the spectators applauded
their efforts spaln and again. Hut tln-y
were not destined to win aitainst such
ruperb specimens of athletic manhood
as carried the red Mercury fool? to the
front without a single fa-Hut e. .
It was a torrid day for outdoor sports,
but that was the only disadvantage.
Jh track never was In finer condition,
and-the blif bluff on the west kept the
wind rncuith in check to favor the
.sprinters End runners Immensely. Ev
ery New York Athletic club man who
won an ovent was a hero, but there
Were four in particular who were liter
ally worshipped by the great crowd.
B. J. Wefers. of Lawrence, Mass.,
was the llrst champion to have the
special at bis feet. He won the 100
yard darh from Charles Alfred ISrudL y.
the fleet Englishman, who had been
heralded ns a sure winner. In the re
markable time of 9 4-il seconds, which
equals the famous world's record of
John Owens, jr., of Detroit, ami others.
Wefers' Great Hecord.
Wefers also won the 220-yard dash In
the wonderful time of 2t 3-S seconds,
which Is a new world's record. Charles
J. Kilpatrick also performed a feat that
will remain as a standard for half-mile
runners for some time to come. With
a magnificent burst of speed he cov
ered MO yards In 1.53 2-5. which is an
other world's recorii. and excels the
long-standing figures of 1.54 2-5. made
o r . J. K. Cross, of Oxford. In lsss,
and of 1.54'j. made by the late W. C.
Pohm In 191.
The most remarkable performance,
though, was the breaking of the run
ning high Jump record by M. F. Swee
ney, who cleared the bar nt 6 feet 5S
inches. amid Intense excitement.
Stephen Chase also broke a world's rec
cord for the 120-yard hurdle race by
doing It in 15 2-5 seconds, hut the figures
cannot stand as a record, as Chase up
Set a hurdle In his hurry.
These particular accomplishments
prove beyond the question of a doubt
that America can carry off the nth
liitie: palm at any time, no matter how
strong an English team mav be. As
for training and physical condition the
New York Athletic club men were per
haps a shade superior, but the Britons
cannot claim that they were not In con
dition. Some of the best athletes In all
England did not come with the London
team, it Is true, but even If they had
America would have triumphed all the
same, for the boys who ran for the
honor of the Stars and Stripes yester
day were simply invincible.

: CHALLENGE 19 STRAIGHT.
Ex-Commodore Smith Thinks There Will
Be Another Cup Raee Next Year.
Ex-Commodore James D. Smith,
chairmen of the America's cup commit
tee, was a guest of Commodore E. C.
Benedict on the OneUla, which served
at committee boat at the attempted
race between Spruce IV and Bthelwynn
Saturday. ':
Commodore Smith said that the In
formal , offer of a challenge for the
America's cup which he received from
Charles D. Rose 4s a bona tide'' one, and
WH1, m his opinion, result In a race next
year.r Mr. Rose Is a member, of the ex
clusive London Jockey club, of which
the prince of Wales la the moving spirit.
While Mr. Rose's name does not appear
In the membership list of the Royal
Yacht squadron for. 1896,- Mr. Smith
has no doubt of the clrallengo being en
dorsed by the squadron or by some
other prominent -yachting organisation.
Mr. Smith said: .. .
. '"Mr Row Is a member of the Jockey
club, which is limited to about forty
men. The prince of Wales It the head
of the club, and. In mjr opinion, the ac
tion of iMr. Rose was Inspired from a
very lilgh source. The challenge as it
came to me was not in formal shape,
I had a talk with J. Plerpont Morgan
about It, and he requested me to draw
up the proper form for the challenge.
did so, and he cabled it to one of the
members of .the London hanking mouse
of J. S. Morgan & Co. He will submit
It in .Mr. Rose, and I expect a formal
challenge, addressed to the New York
Yacht club, very soon." !Mr. Smith is
much pleased In receiving a challenge
from England so soon after the late
liu SCO.
Commodore Benedict said: "It is
good "to hnve a challenge arrive before
Valkyrie has left American waters, and
before .the international races for the
half-raters have been sailed."
POOL TOURNAMENT,
Is Heine Arranged by Local Knights of
the Cue.
A movement Is afoot for a pool tourna
ment for the liiuaiploiiHliip of Lacka
wanna and Luzerne counties. Jeronn'
Keogh, the Pennsylvania champion. Is
interested In the matter, ami it is prob
able that the tournament will taki
place in his rooms on Lackawanna ave
nue. Keogh will be barred from tin
contest, which will be continuous pool,
nriinswick-Balke rules.
Keogh goes to Pittsburg this wlnt
to compete in the world's champlonslilii
games, and his friends believe he has
a fair chance to win.
In addition to the local tournament
It is probable that a state tournanien
may be held in Sera 11 ton this winter,
as Keogh may have to defend his tltl
of state champion, in which case th
games will be played here.

During the next six days the puprem
acy of Italtlmore'or Cleveland In the
National league race will be known
and the greatest, hardest fought ami
most exciting pennant -serativble on
record will be Mulshed. The race Is so
dose that If Baltimore loses a game
when Cleveland wins the latter will
take the lead by a margin of three
points. In such event the only thing In
Baltimore's favor Is that it has two or
three more games to play than has
Cleveland, and considering this feature
the lialtimores have the best chance
for winning. As far as Philadelphia is
concerned, that club is hopelessly out
or It, ami the Temple cup will be bat
ilea for by the two present . 1-aders,
thus assuring a goodly sum for the
players and owners of those two clubs,
Philadelphia during the past five weeks
has done better than any club in the
league. Baltimore excepted, and there
is some honor in that.

error In Saturday's Tribune.
PUNTS AND PASSES.
The players are much amused over the
Yale-Prlneeton game of foot ball. They
thing it Is an efTort to contrast the two
styles of play In order to pose, as reform
ers, and if possible to cast Harvard, Penn
sylvania ami Cornell into the position of
those who are opposed to the elimination
of brutality from the game.
The quartette of hacks which Lehigh
had on the Held during the latter part of
last season, and of which great things
were expected this year, is broken up bv
the loss of both Harrison, right half, anil
Fitzgerald, ex-Princeton, '97, full back
Harrison has left Ijehfgh and Fltsger
ald finds that press of work will force him
to give up foot hall. liolderness, the
plucky little Kngl'shman, who was one
of Lehigh's many substitute quarters last
season, will try to nil Fitzgerald's place.
John C. Bell, discussing the Harvard-Pennsylvania-Cornell
foot ball changes,
said: "The single change In the rules
which we have Instituted was In answer
to the general demand for the protection
of back who Is catching a kick. To this
end we felt that the only way to prevent
Injury and consequent dissatisfaction was
to provide that the ball be dead when
caught unless put In play In one of three
prescribed manners by which the opposing
learn may be prepared for what Is to fol
low. These are to Dass the hall t an
Jacent player, who may either run with
It or kick, to put it In play by a scrim
mage, and to make a free kick. In order
inni tne inner migni not ne a disadvan
tage It was further provided that when
free kick was to be made the opposing
team must retire ten yards Into their
territory, Instead of lining up on the catch,
so that the kicking side was forced to re
tire to allow for the- ball pasting over
their opponent's head, as was the case
last year. These are practically our only
changes. Tale and Princeton have also
legislated about patching punts. They
nave stricken out the clause which rv
quired the player about to make a catr
to signal with his hand, by which means
the rule has reverted to that of the year
previous. The other change which they
nave made is, 1 think, unfortunate. They
take loot ball, to use a paradoxical ex
press'.on. back before Its birth. But twi
styles of play will be possible to them
piunges into me line ami long passes, it
seems to me that all possibilities of team
play, strategies and tactics ure done away
wun. nut they may have studied thei
own rules deeper than I have done, and
may ining uinerenuy. "
COMING ATTRACTIONS
IN CITY TIIF ITERS
The Tavary Grand Opera company
win appear at the Fruthlngham to
night, tomorrow afternoon and tomor
row night, producing three great
operas, "Faust," "The Bohemian tllii'
and "Carmen." At the head of the
company Is Mme. 'Marie Tavary a star
of the first magniture. Possessed of
a charming personality, her marvelous
voice has charmed music lovers th
world over, as an actress sue Is as
versatile as she Is clever. Mme. Thea
none is a cantatrlee with a mezzo
soprano voice of peculiar charm. Her
acting is dramatic and In Carmen sh
appears to especial advantage. Mme.
Llchter is a young prima donna who
lias won great success In the metropoll
in some of the heavier operas. 'Hella
T.inilinson, the leading contralto, is a
famous Azucenn in Trovatore. Sofle
Koiuani and Suzanne Ityane are both
handsome and possess great histrionic
talent. The leading tenor of the com
pany Is Chevalier Albert L. Cullle. As
an actor he Is superb. Slg. Mlchelen
Is another singer of note and Payne
Clark Is a favorite tenor robusto. Max
Kugene, who makes his American d
bit, is an englishman, and sang with
the Carl Rosa and Sir Augustus Harris
companies In London. Slg. Abramoff
Is considered the best basso of the day
and was Immensely popular at Severn

to hear that Mr. Kills is even In better
voice than when last heard here, and
what Is more he promises to Introduce

we can safely anticipate considerable
pleasure this evening, when he appears
at the Academy of Music. This fnv.
orlte of thousands Is to be seen this
time In nn entirely new comedy-drama
called "The Alsatian," and the role he
assumes suits him admirably. The
part calls for the exercise of a dellcnte
humor, a quality thut the velvet-voiced
comedian possesses In an eminent de
gree.

The Only One." will appear Monday,
Tuisday and Wednesday, afternoons
