A. Athletic League Has Been Organized. Scheme is to Bnild Up a Great Rival if the Famous k. LU. Divided Into Seotions and "Will Hold ChampionBliip Meets.

NEW TORK, June 1 An athletic organization which will be known as the T. M. C. A- athletic league of North America was organized at Springfield recently. The scheme has been under way for some time past, but as the promoters of the idea did not want to let the sporting public know of its existence, the fact oniy came out a iew a ays ago.

The organization will not be local in character, the Idea being to control all branches of athletics in the T. M. C. A. in this country and Canada.

The new organization will be controlled oy the International committee of the Christian association, and all the churches in the country will be forced to become members of the association, so that the body will be as strong. If not stronger, than the present Amateur atr.letio union. A very Important rule of the rew or ganization Is that competitors must be members of the T. M. C.

A. to be eligible to compete under the auspices of the T. M. C. A.

athletic league of North America. This makes it Imperative for members to sever their connections with other athletic associations if they wish' to compete in Y. M. C. A.

contests. It is a patent fact that the amateur union ranks at the present time have many recruits from the Christian associations, and as these branches outnumber the athletic organizations of this country, it is more than likely that the new league will prove a prominent factor la future sports. Thousands of young men ranging from 14 to 20 years of age will be taught the T. M. C.

A. system of training as the true system. As the A. A. TJ.

is divided into districts the T. M. C. A. will be divide into sections.

A governing board will look after the interests of the various sections. In the latter respect the association has followed the mode of the A U. The constitution places the entrance fee for a branch at J10. Only amteurs can compete In the games. An amateur Is defined as follows: "One who has never competed for or received money or valuable prizes in connection with any branch of.

sport, and who Is not an employe of a branch" District and championship meetings will be held annually. This action on the part of the Y. M. C. A.

officials may precipitate a bigger athletic war than that which exploded the N. A. A. A. some years ago.

'TWAS A SCORCHER Yesterday Put in a Bid for a Lower Record.

Religious Editor Sat by Window and Saw thcCuraulo Stratus. With Storm Came Comfort, and There's Hope of No Showers Before Monday. The Globe's religious editor sat by an open window, fifth story, front, of The Globe buildhig. last evening, and feasted his yearning soul upon the picturesque succession of changes in the heavenly region which accompanied the gathering and bursting of the thunder torm that came between 7 and 8. His last "take" had gone up to the composing room for the Sunday paper, and hie conscience was clear in the realization of the completion of a week's toil, faithfully performed.

The night force of workers were most them at supper, and so the religious editor had solitude, dim, religious light, md all the requisite conditions for poetic fancy In riotous profusion. The first man to whom he was able so give expression to the result of his lolitary cereoratlons was the "evening man," who sat himself down in the reporters' room and proceeded to ivalt for something to turn up. This is what the religious editor said to him: "In the soft, subdued light of the vanishing sunset glow I sat at my desk by the window, overlooking a targe area of the great celestial canopy, and gazed upen as grand a scene as ever stirred my soul. "Above my head a steely bluish gray, away eff toward the place whpre the western horizon would have beon out for the Intervening house tons and chim ney pots, a mellow golden light, as of a river of molten gold.

with the glorious flery light of the expiring nay. "I gazed upon the scene, and watched the varying forms of the shifting cumulo-stratus with mingled emotions of rapture and awe.

"The dull tones of the clouds grew deeper and denser, the flashes of lightning correspondingly vivid and dazzling, until I could no longer keep my eyes fixed upon the picture without fear of being blinded.

DEDHAM, June 1 The Dedham and Hyde Park high school athletic associations held their first Joint meet at the Norfolk trotting park, Readvllle, this afternoon.

H. C. Kennlngton of Dedham was the star of the meet, taking four firsts and one second, scoring 23 points, or more than half the number madn hv hin school. Warren Archibald of Hyde Park was a close second, with two firsts, three seconds and one third, scoring 20 points. Hyde Park was winner of the meet by the close and narrow score of 46 points to 44.

But for a toss that Finn got in the hurdle race when he was leading and within a yard and a half of the tape, which let Palmer pass him, the score would have been a tie. In the bicycle races Dedham showed up poorly and only got one point out of 18. Winslow Warren Jr of Dedham and Richard Kendall of Hyde Park collided in the one-mile race on the turn at the last quarter, and both were badly bruised.

WAS A JUDGE OIT DIAMONDS. Death of Charles C.

Proctor, for Years Buyer for New York Jewelers. Charles C. Proctor died at the residence of his son on Massachusetts av, lest evening, after a long illness from brlghts disease. Mr Proctor was born in this city June 16, 1845, and received his early education here. His father was Ell Prcctor, who was the pioneer native American precious stone cutter.

After graduating from the public schools he entered his father's shop and there learned the rudiments of the trade of stone cutting. He afterwards went to Amsterdam, where he remained for five years, beinc? apprenticed to some of the most noted diamond cutters in Holl.md. On his return to the United States he was engaged by Tiffany Co of New York, and has been in their employ up to five years ago, when he retired from active nusiness and has been living with his son since. During his' connection with the New York firm he has done nearly all of their larger buying, and was perhaps one of the leading experts on precious stones In this country. He has been sent on special commissions to India and other foreign countries a number of times to search for stones.

For some years past he has been more or less of an invalid, and last year made a trip to Europe for his health, returning in December. Since that time he Las been steadily declining, and his death was expected at any moment. The body will be taken to New York for burial. Mr and Mrs Tileston's Anniversary.

Country Club Winds Up Its Races at Clyde Park. Lady Raymond, Good Thing in First Handicap Steeplechase, Woe Easy.

Hiawasse and Latitude Winners of Two Other Efenta for Jumpers. The Country club closed Its most successful meeting yesterday with an excellent day's sport-After the tremendous throng of Memorial day the attendance yesterday seemed light, but there must have been nonnln there. There were not SO many drags and coaches, and the heat was so intense uai ine accujwuia what there were had to desert them and seek the shade of the trees. The racing was very good and the finishes were close -nough to awaken a great deal of enthusiasm. In addition to the five races on the card there was a special quarter-mile dash between Gold Coin and Kansas Tom.

Mr Hobart was up on Gold Coin, while Mr Savage had Kansas Tom. Both carried 160 pounds, and It proved a cinch for Gold Coin, which took the lead and kept It to the finish. The time was 2514s. The first race of the day was a handi cap sweepstakes with four starters, and of these the Del Monte stables had two horses.and declared to win with Tigress, Mr Hobart up. When the flag dropped Galleon and Ferrler were off In the lead, but at the eighth Ferrier went to the front and was never headed.

Tigress waa in second place the greater part of the last half, but in the stretch Galleon was coming so fast that Mr Hunn did not dare pull up with Ferrier to let his stable companion win, so that both of the Del Monte horses beat out Galleon. It was as good a race as any of the day. and the Del Monte stable had barely a nose to spare in beating out Inches' horse. Mr Inches had better luck In the next race, for his chestnut filly, by Powhatan out of Flirtation, was never headed. It was a long shot, for the talent picked Lafayette to win, but he was unplaced.

Tactician was the dangerous horse, and finished second, but wis unplaced for alleged foul riding on the part of jockey Graham. Lady Raymond was touted as the good thing in the third race, a handicap steeplechase, while a tip was out on Chevy Chase. The favorite was never headed, however, and took all but the second water jump with the utmost ease. King John ran a good second and Chevy Chase was a good third place horse. The time was better than the old track record, which held for so many years and which was lowered last Thursday by Prize.

The fourth race had but three starters. No one could see anything but the Duke of Abercorn, but Hiawasse cut out the going from the drop of the flag; with the Duke of Abercorn a length in the rear. Going back of the clubhouse the second time the Duke of Abercorn tripped on the flat in front of the third jump and threw jockey O'Leary. The wind was knocked out of the jockey, but he was not seriously injured. Hiawasse finished as he pleased with Altus nearly an eight! of a mile in the rear, as this horse refused the second water Jump and had to go back to take it.

Roseland sot off in the lead in the last race, also a steeplechase, but did not keep it long before giving way to Latitude of the Broad Hollow stable. Latitude, Oakwood and Roseland could have been covered with a blanket the erenter nart of the distance. All of the jockeys were using their whips freely as they came on the flat, when Fireworks, which had been trailing close behind the three leaders, cut out. ana passing Oakwood and Roseland, came near Deating out wno oniy on by a short neck. It was the most desperate finish of the day, and was a fitting finish to an excellent race meet.
