battle last November the sailor has no.
been sparing in his criticism of JEFF. He
has called him "a paper champion" "a
false alarm" and other pet names. The
talent has been under the impression that
Sharkey would hail with delight such an
opportunity as Jeffries now gives him. The
champion has stated he prefers to fight

SUCCESS OF Y. NJ. c. A. ATHLETES.
Four Who COntested at Baltimore
Took Six Prizes.

Took Six Prizes.
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys are quite pleased
over the success of the athletic team
which they sent to Baltimore yesterday to
compete in the championship games of the
Atlantic Division of the Amateur Athletic
Union.
The association originally entered ten
men. but as its team was the only one
entered for the one-mile relay race, this
event was omitted very much to the dis
appointment of the relay runners and the
substitutes.
This omission cut out six men. but the
four who contested in the other events
captured six prizes. Royce Hough took
first in the high jump. E. r. Ferriss was
close second in the 22O-yard race. which
was run in very fast time, considering the
condition of the track and the strong head
wind. w. G. Stuart was second in both
the SS0-yard run and the mile, both of
which We're won by Woodruff of Johns
Hopkins, who is an exceedingly fast man.
Royce Hough was third in the sixteen
pound shot put. Ferriss was third in the
broad jump.
The prizes will be exhibited at the MEM
bers' meeting next Monday evening at the
association building.
