Jim Bulg.r Goes Back on his Race with
Filsn-This is ~PIttsburgh's Year.
Wheeling endured another mortifica-
ton last Saturday afternoon, when Jim
Bulgef refused to row in the mile and a
hall race with Mike Filan, the Italian
champion working boat man OF Pitts
burgh. There was no possible excuse
for the conduct OF Mr.. Bulger, and the
sportsmen OF this city have concluded to
have him made a member OF n OF the
CITY Clubs at its next regular meeting,
the money for his initiation having al
ready been raised. 1t is true that tI'an
came down here with a Is pound scuIll,
and insisted on rowing in it, while Bull
GERS boat weighed 400 pounds, but this
was no just ground OF complaint, as
Eilan's boat was the INT used by Lay
berger, Pat Luther, Seibert and one or
two other Pittsburgh gentlemen, and
we are reliably informed that Fl!an IS as
good an oarsnan as any of those NEIL
toned. II is also true that FiIan was
trained by Pete Boil and Eph Morris,
while Bulge. had only the benefit Of
Sporty M0ran's knowledge, which, OF
course, was rather limited, as the latter
insisted that his principal should eat
ice cream aud drink beer 10 quantities
to suit himself two things no man out
side OF Pittsburgh eve attempted in
training, but still Bulger had no excuse
in refusing to row, and his conduct will
be made the more re~pre&ensible when
it is known that he consulted a lawyer
with reference to attaching the forfeit
put IN by him, and even went 50 lar as
TO consult a member OF the Leasure Boat
Club about the manner OF procedure in
such cases. The whole matter Is a sub
ject OF regret to all f~air.minded people
in this city, coming as it does from
a source least expected. Many OF
our hard-working, down.trodden mill
men had denied themselves actual nec-
e~ssaries for the last week to go into the
purse, and to lose all their hard earned
money by such s%culduggery is too hard.
Then again, a large plumber oil persons
who are entirely dependent upon the
proceeds Of such races, chicken fights,
etc, for hediamonds, pins, good clothes,
restaurant tickets, etc had bet heavily
on Bulger, bat by his conduct these use
full members OF society have been de-
frauded oil their dues and a hard winter
is staring them in the iace.
Bulger should have rowed by all
means. If he found that he bad
been under.trained, he could have taken
the colo after the start, got an idea OF
his strength, challenged him again and
lust wrecked Pittsburgh. There is a
very recent precedent for such conduct
and mere was Bulger's opportunity, but
he missed it and now will become a
member OF another club and never
more be able TO get a race from any

Late Saturday night q telegram was
received in this city from Lexington,
