Editor Sunday Iattler.- Dear Sir A num-
Der of amateur runners, who are evidently
afraid to run w. J. Crowley, of the Scottish
American Club, are spreading the report that
| Crowley is professional. This is small
| piece of business as any one who knows
what an honorable young man Mr., Crowley
is, would not doubt for moment his claim
to beng an amateur. If the runners who
are afraid to run Mr.. Crowley believe
he is professional, why don't they prove
it, and not hint at 1t like J. B. Shelter. of
the Wayne Athletic Club, does in com
mnnication, in which he says Mr.. Larkin's
amateur standing would not permit him to
run Mr.. Crowley2 1t is impossible to say
what Larkins' standing is unless it is like
that of everyone else-his feet But, laying
all that aside, Mr.. Shelter is wrong, as Mr..
Larkins says he is ready and willing to run
Mr.. Crowley at any time.
