A Fair and Generous Decision.
At the Decoration Day games of the New
Jersey A. c. there was an unfortunate
muddle in the half-mile novice race. There
was one heat decided which was known as
the final heat. 1t then TRANSFERRED that sew
eral of the college men who were dressing in
the boat house, which is at least a quarter
mile away from the start; had not been call
ed in time to start. The referee allowed the
three mel to run an extra heat, the six men
to run in the final. ra
The three athletes who won what they
thought was the final heat refused point blank
to recognize the decision of the referee. At
recent meeting of the Metropolitan Associa-
ton the referees decision was upheld, IL
the athletes who received the prizes were
entitled TO them. However, as this race
caused an endless amount of talk among the
clubs and athletes insome quarters, the Trus-
tees of the New Jersey A. c., after a con-
sultation, decided that in order to show just
how the club felt in the matter, they would
present an extra set of medals to the dis
satisfied men who won the first heat.
This is very liberal indeed, on the part of
the club, and no doubt the popular organiza-
tion at Bergen Point will make many friends
by this fair settlement.
Champion Jarvis to Race Day.
George O. Jarvis, the intercollegiate
champion, who so easily defeated George
Orion at Berkeley Oval on May 26, is now a
member of the New York A. c., and has
sent in his entry for the Fourth of July
games of the New Jersey A. c. Jarvis is
acknowledged to be the best mile runner in
America, and his many friends think that
Notwithstanding the fact that three miles is
a little beyond his distance, he will give Day
the race of his life. Day has been in strict
training at Bergen Point, and expects he
will nave no trouble whatever in running up
to his reputation.
Jarvis is being trained by Mike Murphy at
Travers Island, and those who know what
the intercollegiate champion can do think
chat he will make Day run to beat his own
record in order to win.
