The next thing we knew was that a sturdy grey-haired man with a green maple leaf on his vest was trotting on to the track, and that a young Canadian athlete on the grass was turning cartwheels in the delirium of his joy. It was five minutes more before Robertson appeared, and he was a tired man. J. Lovelock (New Zealand).

SWIMMING FINALS AT WEMBLEY Ryan and Miss Dennis the Excellent Races in Relays ILKLEY MEETING Aldred Beats Holder and Then Loses Such fine weather favoured the Ilkley open lawn tennis tournament yesterday that it should be possible to complete the programme to-day, despite Monday's rain. The chief feature of the day's play was the defeat of J. L. Chamberlain, the Yorkshire champion, by H. Aldred, Lancashire champion; Chamberlain had won this event three years in succession, but he was hardly seen at his best.

Aldred checked his deadly volleying by keeping him at the back of court. Chamberlain took the first sat 63. When 5 4 in the "final set Chamberlain had three match points, but Aldred went ahead and won 8 6. Yet, after this triumph, J. S.

Harrison, one of last year's semi-finalists, beat Aldred in the semifinal 6 0, 6 4. Harrison will meet H. S. Burrows in the final to-day. In the women's singles Miss C.

M. Burrows, the holder, was beaten in the semi-final by Miss R. Smith, a Nottinghamshire player. Miss Smith had already beaten Miss N. K.

Maingay in a long tnree-set matcn, ana appeared to have the stronger power against Miss Burrows. The finalists are Miss Smith and Miss M. E. Rudd, the Yorkshire champion. Results MEN SINGLES.

E. Lovelock, the British and worlri'H mile record holder, told a reporter in London yesterday that he has agreed to meet W. R. Bonthron. of University, in a race at Colombes siaaium, fans, on August 19.

Lovelock na Yttn ton Tli-vn hvnn zx the last occasion being about three weeks ago at the White City, London, in the Oxford and Cambridge v.

a or some time he has put it down on his entry forms as 32. One of his friends to-day put it at 46, and several of them say that they have seen him in big races for the last 25 years-. There is no doubt, at any rate, about P. Wyer, the other Canadian, who finished fifth a tiny man, equally grey of head. His age is 49.

The vintage of 1885 or so was a good one in Canada. In the field events Australia had another disappointment when J. P. Metcalfe could do no better than 22ft. 9in.

in the long jump, which was won by the amazing young negro schoolboy from Canada S. Richar.t-son. England was unlucky in this event: K. S. Duncan did fairly well, but G.

J. Pallett pulled a thigh muscle and L. D. Butler twisted an ankle. In throwing the javelin we were outclassed but not discredited, and M.

C. Nokes won the hammer as if he had never stopped throwing it; despite his age and his sedentary living he had more speed and better footwork in the turns than any other competitor. D. R. Bell is not a hammer-thrower, and N.

H. Drake was extremely disappointing, both in style and in result. In the three women's events two British records were broken. In the 80 metres hurdles Miss Taylor led till half-way, but once Miss Clark got going there was nobody else in the race. Miss Clark has won two events the hurdles and high jump and made new British records in each.

In the 220 yards Miss Hiscock and Miss N. Halstead came into the straight well clear of the others, but Miss Halstead faltered unaccountably, put her hand to her right side, and lost second place in the last 50 yards she seemed lucky not to be placed fourth. E. A. M.

In the men's medley relay race there was a great struggle between the first swimmers of Canada and England, Gazell and Besford, the Canadian getting the touch, and from that point Canada were certain winners.

London, Tuesday. N. P. Eyan (Australia) is unquestionably the greatest swimmer of the British Empire Games championships, which were. concluded at Wembley last night.

He is the holder of all the freestyle championships in Australia from 100 yards to one mile and has to his credit nine Australian records from 100 metres to one mile. Australia had also the most prominent woman swimmer of the games, Miss C. Dennis, for 6he was the only one of her sex to break an A.S.A. record, which achievement was made when she won the 200 yards breast-stroke title. In the final of the 440 yards free-style Larsen (Canada) made the pace, but at the third length of the 55-yard course he was joined by Ryan and Wainwright (England).

These three drew away from the remainder. Ryan's powerful stroke carried him in front, despite a great effort by Wainwright, who was in fine form. Ryan won by five yards in omin. breaking by two seconds the British record for the distance made by J. D.

Builini (Belgium). Wainwright returned 5min. 7 which eclipsed Lievers's English record of 5min. 14 3-5sec. Pirie (Canada) was third and Lievers was last.

Miss B. Wolstenholme badly in the final of the women's 440 yards free-style race, and though she was not me equal ot tne winner it certainly affected her chance of a place. It was an interesting race. Miss Pirie (Canada) at 100 yards was six yards in front of Miss Hinton (England) and Miss J. Maakal (South Africa), who turned together.

But it was obvious that Miss Pirie was only making the pace for fellow countrywoman, Miss P. Dewar, who came through with great confidence and won by ten yards in omin. 45 3-5sec, 1 3-5 seconds outside the British record of Miss M. J. Cooner.

Miss Maakal was second, and Miss Pirie just beat Miss Wolstenholme. England followed their high-divmg success bv carryme off the sprmr- board-diving championship. J. R. Ray (Highgate S.C.) was a' popular winner with the crowd, and he had a bier lead on points over C.

D. Tomalin, also of Highgate. Canada got yet another place, H. Class taking third position. The three received renewed applause wnen tney went for tneir medals arm-in-arm.

There was an exciting sprint in the 100 yards men's final. Five of the six swimmers were in line for 40 yards. Then Burleigh (Canada) pulled up, with ffrench-Williams (England) close up down the second length Larsen (Canada) challenged hotly, but failed to catch the leader by a foot, and Crump (New Zealand) passed ffrench-Williams. Sutton (England) was last, but the returned by the winner was 3-5sec. outside Sutton's British record.

The fact that Miss M. Hinton swam in the 440 yards final was the reason why the Manchester girl was not included as the breast-stroke member of England's winning relay team. Miss V. Kingston (Leicester) was the selection at this style. Miss Hinton swam for England in the free-style squadron team.

The medley race was most exciting. Miss P. M. Harding, on the PLAY AT CHESTER CONGRESS Cross's Splendid Play MICH ELL WINS AND STILL LEADS (From our Chess Correspondent.) The eighth round' at Chester saw liltl-5 change in the position of the leaders the British championship. Michell, by winning his game in the morning session, obtained a temporary lead of half a point, but, as Thomas should win his adjourne-1 game against Abrahams, the status quo is likely to be maintained.

Fallows maintained equality for over three hours, but weakened just before tho end of the session and allowed Michell to win a pawn. Abrahams adopted an irregular opening, no doubt with the idea of taking his opponent out of the books. By a sacrificial variation he brought about wild complications, but Thomas always found the best move and should win comfortably. Damant played somewhat weakly against Tylor and is materially down at the adjournment. Alexander sacrificed a rook for a minor piece, hoping to trap one of his opponent's knights, but was never able to afford the time another fine win lor Cross, whose play has been the surprise of the Winter played a variation of his own in the opening, and always held the better game.

The athletic section of the British Empire Games came gloriously to an end this afternoon. The track was sodden with rain, a 'gusty wind made fast times difficult, not more than 8,000 people were present, and the handling of the meeting was as slipshod as ever, but none of these things mattered.

We saw great racing worthy of the occasion and one piece of running which will become immortal in the history of English athletics. Let the bare facts be stated. G. L. Sampling, running in the fourth lane on a soaked and battered track and on a windy day, won the quarter-mile in 48sec, beating the British record of '8 2-5sec, made by W.

Halswelle in 1908. and the English native record of 482sec, made by H. C. L. Tindall in 1889.

The mere recital of figures gives no idea of the splendour of his running. It was so flawlessly perfect that we were dumbfounded when we heard the time. That quality of seeming leisurely to everybody except one's opponents belongs only to the consummate masters of running. Rampling went through from start to finish in one smooth drive, effortless and powerful. He never seemed to be going away from the others, but when they reached the straight he was yards' ahead.

The timekeepers put their heads together, and then H. M. Abrahams announced in an unashamedly rapturous voice, "First, G. L. Sampling (England).

Time, 48sec." There was one universal gasp and then such a roar of snouting ana cheering as the White City seldom hears. It had not ended when Sampling was at the announcer's box shaking hands with the two Abrahams brothers, the doctor and the old Olympic champion, who between them during the last twelve months have resurrected his running career. Roberts Runs Heroically Nevertheless, Rampling shared the glory of this unforgettable race. His running was perfect, but W. Roberts's was heroic.

Roberts is a youngster from Salford, short and sturdy, with a long stride, considerable strength, and the most whole-hearted resolution. Two months ago he was secoad-rate, merely a good trier he was beaten in the N.C.A.A. quarter-mile final. Then he found himself in a heat of the A.A.A. race with Rampling and R.

S. Moor, and to everybody's mild surprise he finished second. Since then there has been no holding him he has run better every week, and to-day he surpassed himself by finishing second in 48 4-5sec. worth 48 on a good track and a calm day. He was in the fifth lane, with ouiy J.

Addison in front of him, but he ran his own race with courage and good sense, and when C. H. Stoneley, who had started slowly, began to catch him in the straight he hung on to his lead like a bulldog. Roberts belongs to the same club as W. Rangeley, and Salford may well feel proud of the pair of them.

A. W. Sweeney won the 220 yards after an anxious moment or two M. W. Theunissen might have won if he had not drawn the outside lane, which is badly pitted round the bend.

Theunissen is a little disappointing; his action is jerky instead of flowing, and he does not stride to his full stretch. Rangeley ran beautifully one is always saying that, but he always does. The years come and go, but Rangeley goes on running, the same slender, fleeting, graceful creature, modest and chivalrous, the pattern of all that a runner should be. The mile was a fine race which somehow missed greatness it was exciting, but one's emotion was chilled by the feeling all the time that J. E.

Lovelock had arranged the result beforehand. The English milers had the right idea of how to beat him, but their execution was faulty. They sent H. M. Craske out to make the pace hot, and he ran his first quarter in 60 l-5sec, but then he slowed down, and his half-mile took 2min.

7sec. This was not fast enough, nor was a third-lap rim in 65 4T5sec, though S. C. Wooderson took up the running from the exhausted Craske half-way through it. Lovelock was still as strong as when he started, and to prove it he ran his last quarter in 53 seconds, took the lead at the last corner, and ran awav from the others.

J. F. Comes still had the strength which he ought to have used in the third lap, but he has little speed and was repassed in the straight by Wooderson. A. V.

Reeve, the fourth man, was seventy or eighty yarns behind. Evenson Second The steeplechase provided a close race and an excellent finish. S. G. Scarsbrook led all the way, with T.

Evenson and G. W. Bailey at his heels for one and a half miles, after which Bailey fell back. Evenson hung on to Scarsbrook, though he lost two or three yards at every water jump, and went xor mm as ine De ginning or cue last corner but one. Scarsbrook ran him wide round the bend, and they came to the last hurdle dead level, but Evenson rc-pped it hard, and thereafter seemed to give the race up for lost.

England won both the mile and the 440 yards relays from Canada. In the shorter race the two teams were level until the last stage, in which A. W. Sweenev ran- right awav from W. Christie.

The time equalled the British record, held by a German club team. In the one-mile relay D. L. Sathbone (50sec.) gained a yard from W. Fritz, G.

N. Blake; (49 2-5sec) finished five vards behind Addison, Stoneley (48 3-5sec) ran splendidly after (as usual), a slow start against A. Spotty turning his deficit of five yards into a lead of -five, and finally BamDline serenely round in 4S 4-osec, doing just enough to and no more. The Marathon brought ioy to the hearts of Canada and considerably disconcerted the admirers' of D. McNab Robertson! At five, P.7 Kelly (Newfoundland) Was leading from H.

Webster Wood was' third. ten miles the' order-was-the same, but at fifteen Kelly had dropped behind Webster and Wood. At this point we had our first news ot the Scotsmen-; Robertson was fourth and D. McL. Wright sixth, which seemed reasonable and normal.

The last news from the course was that at twenty miles Webster was three minntes ahead and four ahead-of Wright. we thoiiffht-s" how the- real business of th raca begins "Webster Third Empire Games: Results of Men's Athletics The competitor adust rtunn sr in Mjck ara English representative. 1 2 3 5 6 DUtsuieo Time Record 100 Yards--" A.
