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 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. Time 10s. 440-yard run--Won by J.

Late in the afternoon there was a special football match between the county Kerry and the county Tipperary, which resulted in a victory for Kerry, three goals and three points to two points for Tipperary. Dancing and other amusements were provided for young and old. ________ ________ 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.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 4-Seventy-nine walking days from where he started to lower Edward Payson Weston's record across the continent, John Henry Mooney, a member of the New York fire department, arrived last night in Oakland, practically completing his task and winning the $10,000 prize, contributed by members of New York's fire department. Mooney bears credentials from the mayors of the cities through which he has passed. He said he suffered no ill effects by reason of his long tramp. Weston's record was 106 days. Charlot Races at Brockton. One of the big attractions at the Brockton fair this fall will be some real hair raising charlot and roman standing races. These sports of ancient Rome will be featured as they never have been in this country before. All have seen charlot races put on by some circus where the finishes have been drawn fine purposely, but the chariot and roman standing races at the Brockton fair will be for blood and open to the world, and the purses offered should prove attractive to horsemen all over the country. Entries enough have already been guaranteed to assure the races. Emerson A. C. 5, Sodality A. C. O. The Emerson A. C. baseball team defeated the Sadality A.

Suffern Tailer of New York, of the polo player's committee who were appointed with fall power to act by the polo players for the improvement of the polo grounds here, visited the grounds this afternoon. The committee have plans for the building of a practice field and to improve the track outside the playing field for racing or hunt meetings next season. Before plans for the improvements of the lands are carried out the committee awaits the arrival of Alfred Vanderbilt from Europe in October, as he is president of the Winchester polo club and is interested in the sport. [[line]] WINTER CARNIVAL AT NAHANT. [[line]] Six Events at Wharf Beach Are Watched by Large Crowd. NAHANT, Sept 4-The annual water sports for which silver cups were given as prizes by Arthur S. Johnson, were held on Wharf beach this morning and were witnessed by a large crowd, many of the summer residents being in the gathering. The weather was all that could be desired and the water just the right temperature. The program consisted of swimming races, rowing races and a tub race, and an effort was made to have a water baseball game, but this was not finished, as some of the players were unable to carry it through. The summary: Rowing race, Juniors, quarter mile-Won by Phillip Roland, Hudson Robertson second. Rowing race, seniors, half mile-Won by Richard Walton, John Tobi[[?]] second. Swimming race, seniors, 50 yards-Won by John Lavelle, G. Byron Goodell second. Rowing race, juniors, 25 yards-Won by Clarence Matherson, John Maguire second.

[[line]] 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. [[line]] 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. [[line]] 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 few mistakes, and give him half a team and he'll about to win the pennant. He is always in the pennant running, year in and out, and this season he ought to land first honors." [[line]] 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.

"Germany has more good looking athletic material than any other country I have been in," says Gissing, "and the day is coming when they will outdo the English on track and field. In fact, I saw in Germany some of the most promising athletes I've seen in many a day." Gissing thinks that Passemann, Braun and Rau are sure of places in the next Olympics and says the Germans have a discus thrower who can do 139 feet easily and who, in a javelin competition with Temming, the Swede, who hold's the world record, was beaten only nine inches. [[line]] Peter Frazier, a Scotch athlete, who has been competing for 50 years, was the marvel of a set of games held recently at Sugar Island near Detroit. Frazier confesses to 67 years and yet in these games he threw the hammer, put the shot and jumped better than many of his youthful opponents. He won the first prize at a Caledonian meeting in Toronto 50 years ago and was the competitor at Caledonian games on the Elysian fields in Hoboken some years before there was an amateur definition and before the New York A. C. came into existence. Frazier is an extraordinary athlete for his age and it is doubtful if his equal can be found the world over.

In the past few years Martin Sheridan, John Flanagan, Matt McGrath, "Babe" McDonald, Dennis Horgan, Egan Erickson, Jack Eller, John Joyce and Simon Gills have been in the front ranks and most of them have been champions while on the Gotham police force.

White was probably the only professional ball player to wear spectacles in the box. [[line]] NEW RECORD BY BURMAN. [[line]] World's Mark for Circular Track Now 48.62 Seconds-He Also Wins Three Races at Brighton Beach. New York. Sept 4-Bobby Burman, using his 200-horsepower Blitzen-Benz car, lowered the world's record for one mile over a circular track at the Brighton Beach motordrome this afternoon. With a flying start he made the mile in 48.62 seconds. The old record, which he made over the same track on July 4, was 48.72 seconds. Besides the record, Burman captured three distance races. He finished first in an Opel car in a five-mile dash for cars of from 301 to 450 inches displacement. The next race, the second heat of the Remy Grand Brazzard, for a trophy valued at $3000, went to Burman in a Benz car. Following this he walked away with the first place in the race for cars of 600 inches displacement with an Opel car. The 50-mile race was won by Hughie Hughes, driving a Mercer. His time was 49:56.06. [[line]]
