SPORT AMONG SCHO0LBOYS
NIPPLE AND MOORE TO SEEK
HONORS IN ENGLAND.

Walter s. Hippo of Barnard School, tho inter
scholastic half.mile champion, will, in company
with Robert Moore, n graduate of Barnard
School, cross tho Atlantic and seek fresh honors
in the coming amateur championships of Eng
land, which are scheduled to take place In Lon.
don this summer. Hippo and Moore have been
contemplating a trip abroad since last year, and
have INDUCED In light exercises during tho
winter months. They arc both almost 1T now,
20 that when they arrive on the other side tho
latter part of May they will be in excellent con-
dition. 1t is their intention to reach England
about i've weeks before tho championships, so
that they may become thoroughly accllmated.
As both arc mombcrs OF the New York A. G.,
It is probable that they will also carry the colors
OF tho " Mercury Foot"
Many persons believe that when tho news OF
the above trip becomes known other inter
scholastic champions, who arc now members Of
n wcll.known athletic organization in this city,
will also be sent to England TO compete in tho
same games. A very strong intcrscholastic team
could no organized among the schools in this
vicinity which could make things exceedingly
interesting for tho athletes now representing tho
various academies Of England. Hipplo will
compete In the half mile. at which distance no
10 second to none among the schoolboys in this
country. 1t is his ambition to become half-milc
amateur champion since Fitzpatrick has Joined
the professional ranks.
Moore became famous two years ago. lie was
then q member of the Barnard School A.. A. His
favorite distance was 100 and 22O yards. Dur
ing the time that he was at school. he won hon
ors in every event he entered. He <ould cover
100 yards in 10 % seconds, and reliable train
ors who watched his work prior TO tho inter-
scholastic championship games last year say
that he covered the distance in 10 seconds flat.
His interscholastic record OF 10 20 seconds still
stands unbcatcn. In the 22O.yard dash he is
very speedy for n yOunSstcr.
The out.ottown schools will all take u prom
inent part in athletics and baseball this season,
and the majority OF, them will send on teams to
compete with our local talent in both lines OF
sport. There Is talk of forming an interstate
this city and vicinity. The matter. will DO
