New York, April 22.-Followers Of
track and field athletics in America are
likely to witness a meeting between
English and American athletes which
viii eclipse that of last September
officials of the New York Athletic club
have been planning another interna-
tional meet and unless these plans fail
the lion and the eagle will have another
tussle on the athletic field
Those entrusted with the manage
ment of the speed organization have
forwarded to E. c. Bredin of the Lon
don Athletic club challenge on behalf
of Tommy COnneff to run T. A. Bacon.
the champion miller of England, the dis
lance of one mile
Ever since the Englishmen received
such a drubbing on Manhattan field last
September the English press and some
English athletic magnates have been
cI1ucISlng American amateurs They
have made all sorts of excuses for their
defeat, and usually wound up the I'll
rade by saying that if Bacon had Wis
tied America he would have surely
wang COnneff, and Bredin, they
say, would score a dual victory by beat
ing Knpatr in the half mile run and
Burke in the quarter.
Now, the New York Athletic club
members want to boom amateur sports

them If they have an eye to the fnan-
iaI part of the business. for they made
$4,000 out of the transaction last year.

legged authors. of the fake dispatch sent
out from here relating to the three first
named gentlemen. They claim to be
SO well satisfied as to where the report
originated that they announced this
morning that tomorrow or next day
PROCEEDINGS in criminal libel would be
Instituted at Wellington against David
I.eahy and Charles Nesley, charging
them with Willfully and maliciOusly
having instigated the dispatches so
sent.
ii will be recalled that the dispatches
were sent from this city stating that
Richards and SimOns had fought a
duel at South Haven IN wnlch e. a
BranscOmbe was snOt and m0rtally
wounded A A. Richards has been
working on the case ever since the
publication occurred and has had sew
eral interviews with all the CORES
pondents mixed UP in the affair. Last
night he saw Leahy and Nesley and
they say they told Richards all they
knew about the natter
1T appears, according to the best ac-
count Obtainable, that Leahy had writ
ten up the story for the Eagle, had
marked it for a big head and assigned
it to a page and then left it on hook
where Nesley was in the habit OF look
ing for stories from which to make
specials Finding it there and seeing
it marked all right to go in the Eagle
he thought he would do SO and in his
bigness of heart prepared to divide up
q good thing with Johnson, a CORES
p0ndent for several papers. This he
did too, and the story Went out.
When it reached Kansas City the
Associated Press got hold of it and
through this means it came back here
and the Eagle published what the AS
ISOLATED Press sent The article which
Nesley had found prepared for the
Eagle earlier in the evening did not
appear in that publication.
Leahy says he got the story from a
man named Hubbard who travels for
an irnpIement house and that he can
produce him when it is necessary Mr.
Richards has not been able to locate
Hubbard and it not probable that
lie viii through any voluntary act on
the part of Hubbard for if he has read
an the stories of Richards wrath that
have been published he no doubt
thinks Richards is man to hide out
from.
Diligent search and inquiry among
disclose the name of Hubbard among
those who travel this territory in that
line. There was man formerly
known through here by that name, but
it is said he is not in this territory
