TRAINING TO BEAT WEFERS.
Western Runners VIII Try to Dis
tance the Georgetown Champion.


Referee says in the Boston Traveller:
When Bernard j. Wefers the champion
sprlnter of America, starts in the events
of the military athletic carnival to be
given il the Coli scum at Chicago for charity
during The first two weeks of May he will
probably be called upon to defend hts title
against the fastest field in the country
Mayberry. the Western intercollegiate
crack, and Rush, the Grinnell star, have
been given athletic mem berships in the
Chicago Athletic Association, aud are apt
to be specially prepared for the contests.
with the hope that the defeat OF Crum viii
be avenged
Fred Stone, athletic manager of the C.
"A A, is to take charge of the Western
coheee youths.
1t has been his hobby ever since he
went to Chicago to secure talent that
would he fit to meet the stars of Tire
Eastern universities.
He was present at the Western inter
collegiate meet, in June. at the Thirty
ffth-strect field, and saw the wonderful
performance OF Mayberry in the 100 yards
md 220, and the winning of Rush N the
44O.
Stone is convinced that with proper
training the two men can give Wefers the
closest argument in either the 100 or 220
that he has ever received, if not show
him the way across the tape
Ma yherry and Rush will wear the cherry
circle in the charity tournament said Mr..
Stone.
The boys have become members of OUT
club, and will train under our auspices.
'.Mayberry consider the greatest sprint
or for 1Oo yards that l have seen in this
country. and I do not think that during
the long experience have had d athletics
] have ever had a more promising athlete.
Hei better fitted TO run against the great
Wefers.
Rush is fitted for any distance up TO
and including quar- OF a mile.
He may prove in time even a better
man than the badger.
Neither has been properly trained for
their contests, and think proper prepara-
tory work will have a marked effect on
their time.
'Mayberry covered TWO consecutive heats
of the 100 yards here at the Western in
tercollegiate games in 0:10 He has q
| mark Of 0:0s 4-5 at Madison, which is
the acknowledged worlds record
Rush has done 0. 10 and has an equally
good mark for 220 yards. The West may
expect great things Of this pair at the
big charity carnival
Col hamburger, who is managing the az
fair, received positive information that
Harvard would have team in the tourney.
This is the result Of the announcement a

THREE READING CLERKS.
Salaries Now Provided By Law foI
Two to Be Divided.

In the rearrangement of the appointfve
offices of the House it is understood that
three reading clerks have been provided
for instead oftwo. The third clerk was at
the desk yesterday afternoon trying ON his
voice. He is Dennis E Award, late secre-
tary of the State senate OF Michigan, and
now secretary of the Republican State
committee. His associates are E. l. Lamp
son, OF Ohio, ex-speaker OF the Ohio legis-
1ature and ex-iieutenant governor, AMI
r. L. Hatcher of Indiana
Just how the new plan Of having three
reading clerks viii work, or, in fact, can
be worked under the law, is an open
question. The current Legislative appro-
priation provides for two reading clerks
at S3 600 each, and so does the one
covering the fiscal year from June, 1897 /,
to June, 1898 passed by the late Congress.
A statute passed by recent Congress
provides that no empleye of either house
shall employ any other person to perform
any part of his duties.
The understanding at the Capitol is
that the plan of Messrs. Stone and Hooker,
of the celebrated porcine combine, is
to lump the two salaries of So, 900 each
into a pot of 81 200, out of which each
of the three reading clerks shah draw

LEAGUE MAY PAY RUSIE.
Magnates Want the Big Hoosier in
the Game.

The different clubs forming the Ma
tional Baseball League may contribute
money TO pay Amos Rusie's salary for
last season, and thereby bring back the
big Hoosier 20 the New York club. F
De Haas Robson, OF Cleveland, and Earle
Wagner, of Washington, have a scheme
TO pay Rusie his salary and help the
New York club out of it's present posi-
tion. A reason advanced for their
action is Rusie's return would greatly
benerft the game.
Another is that by balming Rusie's
feelings the validity of the reserve law
under which the big pitcher is held by
the New York management would not
be tested In court. Mr. Robson, talking
on the subject, said:
I'VE do not doubt that the New York
club was right in disciphning Rusie, but
we magnates do not want 70 see him
kept out OF the game any longer. The
question now is, who Will take the in
itiation in the matter. II other League
clubs agree to pay Rusie's last years
salary it is thought he will sign New
York contract in time to pitch in one Of
the New York games in Philadelphia the
latter part of next month.

Among the officials at the recent in
door athletic meet at West Point, held
under the auspices Of the Army Officers
Athletic Association, was Lieut. William
NJ Cruikshank, a native of this city, and
now stationed at West Point, and one OF

stepped into West Point and was gradu-
ated as one of the star five.
BY the way, one of tfe features OF tie
above athletic meet was the fence vault,
wffich was divided into two classes for men
over five feet seven inches high and those
under that height. Such division makes
the contests more interesting, and gives
the long and short men an equal chance to
win honors i'll this line of events, and IL
