H. was held on the Locust-st grounds yesterday and brought out a record-breaking crowd. The field was in good condition and the games were well contested. The committee in charge consisted of County Pres Richard Dwyer of South Boston, secretary, Cornelius Coughlin of Dorchester, secretary, T. J. McMackin of the North End, financial secretary, Frederick J. McLaughlin of Jamaica Plain, Wm. P. O'Connor of div 22, John J. Conway of div 66, William J.

Mantle of div 43, John Broughan of div 40 and Malachi Craven of div 19. The Gaelic football match was between teams representing the Cork club and the Waterford club. The County Corks won by two goals and seven points over the Waterfords. There was an exciting hurling match between the Tipperary team, the champions of New York, and the Wolfe Tones of South Boston, the champions of Massachusetts. Each team had many victories to its credit. The Wolfe Tones won five goals and one point to one goal and two points for the Tipperary team. The track and field events, under the direction of Joseph McNamara, resulted as follows: 100-yard dash - Won by F. J. O'Hara. William C. Prout second, H. Pree third.

Dancing and other amusements were provided for young and old. SHRUBB BEATS TOM LONGBOAT Wins Ten-Mile Match Race by 20 Feet. Indian Ahead in Eighth, But Cannot Keep the Pace. but Shrubb was his master at the game and after taking the lead again the Englishman kept his eyes on his opponent every second, answering spurt for spurt and finishing with an apparent easy grip on the honors. The time was remarkable under the conditions, indicating that on a fast track the record would have been in danger. The last mile was done in 5m. 17 2-5s. It was a popular victory, the crowd carrying Shrubb off the field on their shoulders. A first class program of amateur handicap events preceded the big race. The best of these was a three-mile run which was won by Hugh Maguire of Wrentbam in 15m. 19s. In a ball game the Eagles of Chelsea defeated the Hustlers of Melrose, 2 to 1, in six innings. The score: Innings......1 2 3 4 5 6 Eagles.......0 0 1 0 0 1 - 2 Hustlers.....1 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 Batteries-Haydock and Morrissey: Williams and McDonough. The summary: TEN-MILE MATCH RACE Miles Leader Time - and the international committee not only ruled the Maple Leaf out of today's race, but barred her from competing in any others of the contests in this championship series. A similar fate befell the British Tyreless. In the third round the Tyreless, apparently seeing that she was hopelessly distanced, dropped out of the contest after having covered only about 13 miles. This was not to be permitted under the rules, and the international committee issued a ban on the Tyreless competing in other races of the series for the Harmsworth trophy. fl. Rl. e.... .ffe h This leaves only the Pioneer to compete as a challenger for the cup against the three Americans. The second race will be decided tomorrow afternoon, and if one of the victorious Americans wins, the cup will remain in the United States another year at least. If the Pioneer should win tomorrow a third and deciding race must be run Wednesday. Until today's race was on for 15 minutes the American hopes were not high. It was not known what the Dixie could do. She had made 39 knots but the Maple Leaf came over with a reputation of 57 miles an hour and the Pioneer with 48 miles. Outside of the Dixie the Americans did not have much to build hopes on against such promises of British excellence. In fact, the American committee was greatly afraid that out of the home entrants they would not be able to name two team-mates for the Dixie. It was only at the last moment that the Viva, owned by Rear Commodore J. Stuart Blackton, and the Disturber II, owned by James A. Pugh, were selected. When the signal gun was fired for the start, thousands of pleasure boats were formed in a triangle about the course, while the shores of Huntington bay were lined with people with long-range glasses. As soon as the first round of the race was covered it was seen that the Dixie had her own way, and that only an accident could take the race from her The Dixie held herself from a half to a mile ahead of the Pioneer throughout and doubtless could have increased her lead at any time. The Pioneer held true, but apparently she did not have in those waters the speed that she developed abroad. RACES ON MERRIMAC. Two Power Boat Events at Lowell Furnish Good Sport - 27 Entries in Handicap. LOWELL, Sept 4 - In the special 14-mile power boat race on Merrimac river today from the old Vesper club landing to the center of Tyngs island twice and return, A. E. Brooks beat Leon Flint. The time of Brook's boat was 1h 8m 55 4-5s. In the handicap power boat race over the game course, J. Littlefleld's boat won. The start was made at 10:19 a.m. by J. Howes' boat and Littlefleld did not leave the Lowell landing until 22 3/4 minutes later. Winners of other prizes in the race were: Carey, Bradford, Walters, Parker, Rice, Luce, Durrell, Crysler and W. Adams. There were 27 entries and J. Riley scratch, was not among the prize winners. Charles E. Goulding was manager of the races and Paul O. Kable starter and timer. The prizes were presented at the Pawtucket boat house. BUZZ BY SMALL MARGIN Hobo Second In Fall River Y. C. Power Boat Race FALL RIVER, Sept 4--Power boat races were held this afternoon in the Tiverton basin under the auspices of the Fall River yacht club. There were four series, the Buzz being the winner by a narrow margin,the the Hobo. Guess Again and Guess finishing in the order named. The course was about 10 miles, or six times around the basin. On the second lap engineer Chase of the Buzz fell overboard and was picked up by the Hobo, following directly in its wake. CHAPIN IS HIGH GUN Lawrence Association Opens New House With Clambake LAWRENCE, Sept 4--William H. Chapin of New Haven was high gun at the shoot of the Lawrence fish and game protective association today with a score of 137 out of a possible 150. W. J.

WINNER OF SENIOR SINGLES [[fourth column]] By EUGENE BUCKLEY. Under almost perfect weather water conditions the 23rd annual rowing championships of the N [[scratched out]] land A.R.A. were [[scratched out]] Charles river basin [[scratched out]] races on the card furn [[scratched out]] sport for a large crowd. As the day wore on, the faithful were rewarded with a little diversion, as the contestants in the Globe airship race were in full view as they passed away among the gray clouds on the first leg of their long journey. The rowing brought our some spirited competitions in the sculling events and the old disputes of long standing in the eight-oared events were settled to the entire satisfaction of all. It was one of the best managed regattas of recent years, a fact credited to regatta chairman James H. Phelan, the clerk of the course, and to the veteran, James P. Fox, referee. The Union boat club carried off three races, a fact that filled coach H [[?]] cup of happiness to the brim. Unions started the winning hab[[?]] the victory in the intermediate [[?]] by Paul Withington, the old [[?]] fax with ease in that event. Then Ralph May, another Ha[[?]] man, captured the junior single [[?]] good field and incidentally showed [[?]] good, clean sculling. The senior eight-oared race was the third victory of this club in which the ex-champion of New England from the Riverside [[?]] club were the contestants. Union [[?]] was at all times master of the situation and rowed better and faster than its opponent. There were four doctors in the Union boat, one side of the boat being known as the medical side, in which Medical Examiner George B Magrath was conspicuous. Prizes for Halifax. Next in point of victories came the visiting Northwest Arm oarsmen from Halifax, N S, who won two events, the association single and senior [[?]]. Hart of that club, who won the association single scull race, ran up against big Paul Withington in the intermediate race and never had a look in a [[?]] they got warmed up. Turner of Halifax shaped well in the senior singles and participated in a sensational [[?]] with Cary Faulkner of the Riversides, [[good guess?]] but the veteran sculler, Everett [[?]] Pope of the B. A. A., who appeared to be outclassed in the earlier of the contest, came back with a vengeance and cleaned up the river in an oppressive and highly sensation finish. It remained for the Halifax me [[?]] win the senior four oared shell race [[good guess?]] from the Unions, the last named crew [[good guess?]] being outclassed owing to lack of practice work in the style of boat. The winning streak of the Dedham boat club four in the canoe race was [[good guess?]] stopped by the plucky little crew[[scratched out, good guess?]] from[[good guess?]] the Cocheco canoe club, who [[scratched out]] a new style of paddling tha [[scratched out]] a victory over Dedham. Cocheco ran its stroke up to 7[[?]] the minute and just nipped a little off the top which kept the bow of the boat up, while Dedham buried the blades deep and paddled its bow u[[?]] with deeper and harder strokes. Dedham[[good guess]] won the war canoe race from [[?]] Crescents and Walthams. Win for the Columbians. In the intermediate eaight-oared the Jeffries and Columbians of [[fifth column, top]] Boston fought it out and two big [[?]]unches followed the crews over the course, cheering like mad for their favorites. Both crews were bared to the buff and one of the oarsmen lost his tights on the way down and finished the race in nature's garb. Columbian won. Shawmut was all to the good in the junior eights and, although one of the crew did some ground and lofty tumbling in the race owing to an accident to his seat, the crew won out handily. The racing began with the intermediate singles shortly after 9 o'clock and the events were hurried through the last race being finished before 1 o'clock. With the bare exception of a lumpy course, caused by a combination of wind and seas kicked up by the power boats following the races, the conditions were very good. Hart Outclassed. Paul Withington of the Unions and F. R. Hart of Halifax were the only starters in the intermediate singles. Hart jumped away at the start and was half a length to the good at the quarter. Withington then began to find himself and went to the turn more than [[?]] length ahead. Hart tried hard but [[scratched out]] Arthur Gardner of Springfield, J. Manning of the Riversides, John Homans and Ralph May of the Unions started in the junior singles. May carried the others along very fast at the start. Manning hanging on closely, followed by Homans and Gardner. May was several lengths ahead of Manning at the turn and had 10 lengths to spare at the finish. The entries for the club four canoes were the Dedham B. C. and Cocheco C. C. The Cochecos sprang a surprise on Dedham by sprinting right away at a very rapid pace and striking the water so rapidly that many expected to see the crew collapse. They won, paddling 70 strokes to the minute. Mathew F. O'Hara, St. Alphonsus B. C., F. R. Hart of Halifax, Guy L. Belcher of Gardner B. C. and I. F. Emery of the Metropolitan B. C. of New York were the starters in the association singles. Emery and Belcher got a shade the better of the getaway. Hart began to gorge ahead and his sculling was far better than in his race against Withington. O'Hara was the first at the turn, however, but the Halifax man made a quicker turn than O'Hara and came away with a slight lead which O'Hara soon regained with a fine spurt. The pair raced ahead of the others to the finish and Hart won by a scant length. The Union and Riverside crews were the only starters in the senior eight oared shells. The Unions had a task to get away from the up river crew, but showed about half a length gain at the bridge and won by two boat lengths. Fast Rowing by the Shawmuts. Columbian, West Lynn and Shawmut appeared for the junior eights. Shawmut rowed right away from the two other crews. When close to the Harvard Bridge No 6 slipped and fell over backward, demoralizing the crew. He soon regained his seat and the crew held the lead. The coxswain nearly lost the race by steering wide, but his attention was called to this matter by the referee and crowd and he finished in bounds, winning the race from West Lynn, which was coming hard at the finish. In the senior singles, Everett L. Pope, B. A. A., J. F. Turner of Halifax, Cary Faulkner of the Riverside [[sixth column, top]] B. C. were the contestants. Pope set a lively pace but was held closely by Turner and Faulkner. Before the quarter post had been passed Pope was third, leaving Faulkner and Turner to continue the contest in the opinion of the wise ones. Faulkner had the speed and caught his man quite handily, but Turner had the endurance and Cary began to wabble. Turner was soon in trouble and crabbed and Faulkner shot ahead nearly a length. It was Faulkner's turn to miss a stroke next and he barely escaped falling out of the boat through weakness. Pope had turned three lengths behind the second man but now swooped down on Turner and Faulkner, rowing as if he had just started, and crossed the line a full boat length ahead. Easy for the Hallgonian Four. The Union senior fours met the crew from the Northwest Arm club of Halifax. The latter sprinted right away from the Unions, who could not get their stroke above 34; and won by many lengths. This crew was coached by Frank B. Greer of this city. The three old rivals, Dedham B. C., Waltham C. C. and Crescents of Waltham, lined up for a one-mile straight away race in war canoes. Dedham had covered half the course before it made an impression on Waltham, Crescent falling slowly back. Dedham won a well-paddled race by two lengths. Henry C. Pike of Springfield and H. A. Jackson of the Unions were the entrants for the novice single. Pike was faster on the start and got to the turn many lengths ahead, winning handily. The Jeffries Point and Columbians set a killing pace in their intermediate eight duel, but the Columbians drew away steadily and won by nearly three lengths. The summary: Intermediate singles-Won by Paul Withington, Union B. C.; F. R. Hart, Northwest Arm R. C., Halifax, second. Time 10m 10 [[?]]. Junior singles-Won by Ralph May[[good guess?]], Union B.

[[cut off]] [[7th column, top]] To lose a double-header to the fellows that wear the kiltles, [[?]] in fancy, was a bitter dose for our Red Sox. That Russ Ford started the day wrong from our standpoint. His record against the Red Sox is not yet equal to that that Christy Mathewson had until recently against Cincinnati, but as he has never lost a game to the Boston club since he came into the big league, he lives in hope. Youth does not seem to be able to prevail against the veteran W. A. Larned, whose game of lawn tennis never shows signs of going back. He has won eight championships, the last five in a row, and he has ranked among the first 10 every year except once since 1902. Foster Sanford, the Yale and Columbia line coach in football, was in town yesterday. Sanford says the rules committee is too large, that the west wishes this and the east wishes that, and the result is that there are things in football just to suit sections. Football, he maintains, should be football without politics and good enough, if evolved by real football men, for the whole country. He would reduce the rules committee to five men with Walter Camp chairman without a vote except in case of tie. Adeline Trapp has marvelous endurance as a long-distance swimmer and is a worthy rival of our Rose Pitonof. In an endurance swim between such women and our best men swimmers the atris [[best guess?]] wouldn't require any odds in the betting. The Brooklyn school teacher outswam four expert lifeguards in covering 22 1/2 miles Sunday. This gives her the women's long distance record, but she is 12 miles behind Chas. Durborow's best American record. It took three years for the Eleven Thousand Dollar Lemon to ripen, but John McGraw would go through the same experience again to obtain such perfect fruition. In games won by a first division club in the National league against the other clubs of that division, the Pittsburg Pirates are trailing far behind. Even Philadelphia, with only four wins over Chicago, leads the Pirates. New York has won 30 games from the other three clubs, Chicago 28, Philadelphia 25 and Pittsburg 21. Connie Mack picks the Giants to win the National league race, largely on account of McGraw's competency as a manager. "In a close fight," says Connie, "managerial brains count for much, and this gives New York a big advantage. McGraw is not only a big-brained manager, but he has the inspiring style to keep a team at fighting pitch. McGraw makes a few mistakes, and give him half a team and he'll about win the pennant. He is always in the pennant running, year in and year out, and this season he ought to land first honors." John Bray should have taken every precaution to give publicity to his Boston light swim. He has himself to blame that doubt is raised that he made the distance. Ed Walsh will have a record in games pitched this year that will compare favorably with the work done by "Kid" Nichols and Cy Young in the days when two or three pitchers on a club did nearly all the pitching. Ty Cobb has passed his second "century" of hits. Yale's new rowing regimen will be in active working order on Sept 18, when head coach Jim Rodgers will look over the candidates for the first time. Now Harry Gissing adds his testimony to the promise of the Germans to take a leading position in international athletics. "Germany has more good looking athletic material than any other country I have been in," says Gissing. "and the day is coming when [[cut off]]
