This was the ntalti i ture of the day at the fair and was witnessed by a large crowd. One Canadian Tecord was lowered and the results In the other events were close and exciting. Owing to the condition of the track, which was heavy from the rain storms of the prevloua days, the athletes were work ing at a disadvantage, but at that creditable time was made. The Vancouver Athletic Club men captured ten championships and were with the leaders in the other events. Sheppard Breaks Record.

Lack of Stamina Loses Game for Boys From Hinterland V.A.C. in Fine Form Of the many lacrosse fans who went out to the Athletic Park last Saturday afternoon to watch the V. A. C. boys play th Armsirony team with the expectation of seeing the hovs from the Hinterland come off easy victors, many are asking themselves whether or not Armstrong will dare to stay till Wednesday to have such another defeat handed them as was given last Saturday when the local boys simply walked away with the game, the final score being 16 2.

Kara a Itot to rn. There wns absolutely no question after the finish as to whose finish It as. The Armstrong boys need a little training into tie methods of boring In and their defense has not yet learned the first rule of lacrosse and, that is, hold down your man and hold him hard. On the home of the visitors White was the star, and although a star, did not stay In the game; his sphere of action consisting of the scoring of two goals after which he rode "the bumps" and was fixed" for the rest of the game trying to get the soreness out of hi body which had been sandwiched. The Armstrong team opened the game strontr and after scoring a goal took things easy like, till one was scored on them.

Then they hustled about again and finished the quarter stronj, scoring the third goal of tha rame and putting themselves Into the lead. It was only during this period that the spectators exnerlenced that queer feeling that usually attacks one when their Is a tieht game in progress. That feeling that runs up and down tha spine and makes the observer move about uneasily In the seat as If seeking a more comfortable position. Tha Flay la Detail. V.

Then when they found out that these fellows were not lacrosse scientists, the V.A. boys opened the second quarter with a miihty stride that finished when Ju'len evened tn score 2 2, after a neat shot with two men on him.

A little while later Hill slipned It to Jul len aaain and the latter dropped It In and put the V. A. f. In the lead for the first and Inst time because they hell it to the finish. Then came the final rally of the Armstrong forces, and the rest of the period was played In the V.

REST Young Maurice attended the Crocker Grammar School and the Lowell High School, where he learned tennis and a few lessons. He did so well with his studies of tennis that he was soon one of the stars at the age of seventeen, and his ability shone as loudly as did his hair on those old courts In the Golden Gate Tark. At nineteen he was sent with M. H. Long to Australia on his first quest of the Pavis cup, which he played so Important a part in lifting this year.

On his return he entered the real estate business ith Ickham Havens, a large operator In San Francisco and Oakland. Havens Is a tennis ployer and knew all the promising youngsters In the city. He admired McLouRhlln's play years before they ever met, and upon the two becoming acquainted a friendship sprang up that resulted In an offer by Havens to take the youth into his employ, sort of adopt him, as It were, and teach him the real estate business. Since then he has crossed the Pacific to New Zealand in his second vain attempt for the cup, as well as making four successive invasions of CHICAGO SWIMMER WINS BIG EVENT Mike McPermott of the Illinois Athletic Club.

Jimmy Austin Will Lead Browns Temporarily Rickey is Chosen for 1914. ST. Lnns, Sept. After denying for the last month rumors to that effect, President Hedges, of the local American League Club, announces that George Stovall has been deposed as manager of the Browns. Jimmy Austin, the locals' third baseman, will lead the team until selects Stovall successor.

Whether or not Stovall will continue as the locals' first sacker depends on his attitude towards the new manager. Hedges said that In all probability Branch Rickey, former American League catcher and scout, would be his manager In 1914. Hedges has asserted that Stovall was making no effort to develop hi new players. He blamed Stovall for not getting the team higher than seventh place.

Willie Ititchle and Frank Barrleau will be the boxing referees, while Barney Goss will most likely look after the, wrestling. lok's only fear Just now Is that he may go In light rather than over th weight of 133 pounds stipulated In the articles of agreement. ItKrhle Karly. P.ltchle was up early and took a long run from his training quarters at the Kliurne hotel, past the race track and back again. It brought him tack in time to dress and motor Into town for tho late mass at the church of the Holy Rosary, for be It known that Ritchie ar.d his manager, Harry Foley haven't forgotten the teaching of their boyhood days, and mis their attendance on church only when conditions are uch as to prevent It.

In the afternoon he engaged In a lot of gymnastics, shadow boxing, skipping the ropes and other regular features of his training, and wound up In six fast rounds of boxtng with Paul Pedersen.

Frank," said Ritchie, and Frank did. "It's the hard ones I've got to learn to stop," said the champion, after the training wa over, and Frank gave him plenty of them to atop during tha course of the six minute they were In action together, one or two slipped by, and altogether there was qutle a lively mix up between the pair. Ritchie scaled lilt pounds, or thereabout on the afternoon of tha big hat tie. Both Ritchie and Welsh are now thoroughly down to the hard grind, and have fixed upon clock and I II respectlTelr as their hour of training, tj which th public lnvllrrf BY HI HE Is going to take a rest now. Maurice McLoughlin Is going home to California.

If ever a twenty three year old boy earned a rest It Is the rosy haired lad from the Golden State, who Just completed a three months' display of tht most brilliant tennis ever seen on any court, with a victory over Pick Williams for the national title. Mctioughlln is supreme, the greatest America ever saw. He Is going back to San Francisco, where he came from, and to his real estate business when he Is rested. Wo can Just Imagine only how short that five day ride will seem. The young Callfornlan haa been a Champion and Challenger Put in a Busy Day at Training Quarters.

Pue to the fart that racing closes at Minoru on Saturday next, Instead of two weeks hence, as was originally planned, and the racing programme will be out of the way of the Rltchle Welsh world's championship contest, there may be a change In the hour originally set for the event. It was at first planned to stage the bout at 1:30 p. but all parties being agreeable, and their sentiment In respect to the change will be ascertained today, the hour of 3 o'clock will be substituted. The change will unquestionably be welcomed by the public, who will have a better opportunity of arranging their business affairs for the latter hour than they would for the time first set. Many Reaervatlona Made.

That the fans are looking forward to the contest with a great deal of pleasure Is attested In the advance sale, which has reached proportions seldom equalled two weeks before any other event In History. The Vancouver Club has reserved an entire section for its members, and Seattle Is coming up with a delegation which will fill another section. Already the Seattleltes are planning a spec'at boat for the trip, and special trains, or rather cars attached to regular trains, are being arranged for by the fans of the Canadian palries. Reservations are also pouring In from Portland. Tacoma.

Belllngham, Spokane, Everett and other cities beyond the border, and the cities contiguous to Vancouver and In the hinterland of British Columbia are going to be represented In force. Thousands of words are being sent out from Vancouver dally, the world posted on the progress of affairs and It la all finding apace in the press of the country, thus giving Vancouver a lot of publicity free of charge which could scarcely be gotten In any other way.
