swimming Match.

Professor Tom Riley, now stationed at
Rocky Point the veteran master OF the art or
swimming. and Captain Ned Manning OF the
Crescent Park life guard force, the former
claiming the long distance Championship OF
the world and the latter OF Canada had an In
decisive swimming match yesterday. The
course was from Fields Point TO Rocky Point
but the race came 40 an end before the swim
was half over and Referee Jerome McCartin
gave the race TO Professor Riley by default
of his competitor.
Helped by an ebb tide the two athletes
started of well at 3:l5 o'clock, Professor Riley
taking the lead ana increasing IL pretty
steadily. At 5;4b y. m. Captain Manning,
who was then of Green's Island, about 5bs
miles from the start. stopped swimming and
was taken out OF the water. Professor Riley
got out of the water of Bullock's Point light
AT p. m having swan about ~ miles. Cap
tain Manning was informed that Professor
Riley had previously got out OF the water and
aboard the skin that accompanied him and as
he saw the skin row away ho thought his
competitor had given up the race, the sea
being so choppy that he could not see Profes-
sor Riley in the water. Witnesses ON the
steamer L. r. Shaw, which. with load OF
passengers was going over the course and
was near the leader, say that Professor
Riley did not get out OF the water and that
Captain Manning was wrongly informed.
Captain Manning accepts the decision OF the
referee but says he is willing 10 swim with
Professor Riley for any distance and for any
amount.

For Pitchers-Notabie Facts Concerning
the Present season--Double Umpire sys-

The experience Of Frank Butler in Ma
tional league company furnishes food for
thought. He was the star OF the Southern
league. Down there his batting record was
phenomenal, being something more than
400 per cent and less than 500. It must
be confessed that his work for the New
York club was disappointment, and he
lasted barely week, when an old timer
supplanted him on the nine. 1t may be
held that Butler was not fairly tried; that
he needed time TO get acquainted with the
now class he joined That may be true,
but In the five games In which he played
on the New York nine he gave no evidence
whatever Of being "up To the notch"
Buffers physique is against him as a
batsman. He Is not only short, but light
