The boom given whist this winter in
Washington has been nothing If not re-

j. L. Warren headed the east and west
division. with a score of 14S. while Lieut..
G.. H. Whipple, jr.. and E. X. Lundy had
the best score, TIA for the north and south
contingent.
The popularity of the recent movement to

strike wholesome fear into the hearts Of
the best of Americas athletes. for ShrubD
has proven himself to be the most phe-
nomenal distance runner since the day
when the veteran w. w. George. estab-
lished the world record of minutes 1274
seconds for the mile.
Shrubs most remarkable run was made
last summer when he ran two miles at
London in minutes IL seconds. The
record was not allowed because it was
found upon remeasurement of the track
that 1t was just two yards short of the two
miles. The worlds professional record for
this distance was 8 minutes liz seconds
But allowing for the two yards shortage,
competent judges admitted that Shrubb was
still one-fifth of second inside the record.
In this remarkable race Shrubb ran the
first mile in minutes % As seconds, feat
which has never been eQualed in a race Of
this length A few weeks after this record
breaking performance Shrubb lowered the
worlds record for three miles to IA min
utes II 3-5 seconds.
1t is understood that at the Olympic
games Shrubb has his eye on the Marathon
race. which Is for about twenty-five miles.
Shrubb does not intend to come to America
until after the English championships in
July. The London Harriers. to which club
Shrubb belongs. will probably send several
other athletes. Shrubb's strongest COM
petitors in this country will be Alexander
Grant of the University Of Pennsylvania.

mile run. and w. H. Schutt of Cornell, the

BIG FIGHTERS MATCHED.
Sharkey and Munroe to Battle Before
March First,

Jack Munroe of Butte, Mont, and Tom
Sharkey were matched yesterday afternoon
In New York to meet in limited round
bout before the club offering the best purse.
The contest, according to the articles of
agreement signed, must be decided before
March /, 1904. Each side posted 81 coo as a
guarantee. Issy Putter, New York book
maker. supplied the money for Munroe.
while Sharkey furnished his own forfeit.
The confab was held at 1 o'clock In the
afternoon and inside of fifteen minutes
both sides had agreed on terms. Sharkey
proposed to have the battle limited to six
rounds, but Munroe's manager proposed to
have the fight for from ten to twenty
rounds.
As only six-round scraps are allowed in
Chicago and Philadelphia, these cities are
out of 1t, as far as the encounter being
decided there. In California twenty-round
tests over ten rounds have been In vogue
during the past two years. Sharkey OBJ
jected to having San Francisco as the bat

reasons which 1 do not care to express at
this time. Any other place will suit me-"

there"
THAT goes" answered the former tar,
tersely.
Bids for the contest will be left open until
January 10. 1904. and the club Offering the
most money will secure the battle. Another
clause, which Is considered important by
ring followers. is that the winner is to re-
ceive the entire purse. Should Munroe
win. his success will go a long way toward
establishing his right to secure a fight with
Jim Jeffries for the heavyweight title. If,
OH the other hand. Sharkey comes out
ahead, he will Immediately seek a match
with the boilermaker, and the latter may
take him on next summer at the world 8
fair in st. Louis.
Sharkey and Munroe were matched to

the proposed battle fell through because
the promoters failed to get the necessary
permit from the authorities

NATIONAL REGATTA.
Amateur Championship Races to Be
Held Near St. Louis in July.

AT q special meeting Of the executive
committee of the National Association Of
Amateur Oarsmen, held In New YORK SAT
urday night those present were James III
kington president, New York: f. X Fort-
meyer, secretary, New York; John O'Regan,

Walter Simpson and ]. P. Fox. Boston: H.
w. Garfield, Albany, and G. Schaab, ST.

tee, with the exception of c. s. Catlin, Chi
cago.
1t was decided to hold the next champion
ship races at St. Louis, and the dates sug-
gested are Friday and Saturday. July -
and 80. subject to an agreement with the
Canadians. Mr.. Schaab of st. Louis stated
that his clubs were amply prepared for the
regatta. and have fund of $500 for that
purpose. Mr. Carrigan of the subcommit-
tee stated that from the information he
has the course is an excellent one, of one
mile and a half straightaway. The South
western Amateur Rowing Association will
have charge of all details, and the interest
will be increased by the fact that no New
York regatta will be held at the time of
the national to divert attention from it, and
that the entries are likely to be unprece-
dented.
A boathouse 400 by 10 will be built for
the accommodation of oarsmen, there
are no boat clubs on the course. a plan of
the course was shown. 1t is about twenty
miles from the city of st. Louis. on the
Southwestern Anna Rowing Associa-
tions course on Creve Occur lake. 1t was
stated unofficially that oarsmen will be able
to make the trip on one fare.
A communication was read from a Cana
dian amateur rowing association suggesting
that the two associations meet through SUBJ
committees and agree dates for their re-
spective regattas. "A committee was there
upon appointed, with President Pikington
as chairman. to confer with the Canadian
oarsmen. The chairman pointed out that
IL the Canadian races at St. GATHERINGS are
held Immediately after the st. Louis races
1t would have a tendency to help both re-
gattas. and as the Canadians expect entries
from abroad these oarsmen will probably
row in both races II the events are not too
widely separated.
President Pilkington suggested quad
ruple scull race and Mr.. Carrigan a war
canoe race for the consideration of the re-
gatta committee, but as no official action
was taken the matter was dropped
The old question of straight against turn
races was brought up, but as Mr. Schaab
stated that all the races in ST. Louis are
rowed one mile and half. with a turn. ex-
cept Fights. the resolution of Judge Tiphe
that all races be rowed straightaway was.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Captain Browns Colors in Front in
Two Events

For the first time in many months the
racing colors of Capt. 8. 8. Brown-cherry.
with blue cap-were borne to victory twice
in an afternoon. In the first and fourth
races at the New Orleans track yesterday
his two horses-Falernian and Exclama-
tion-scored well-earned victories
Falernian won the opening race easily.
He was much the best of the poor lot of
maidens opposed to him and he beat them
in Hindoo style-from start to finish. He
was strong favorite at II to 10, but from
the easy manner he defeated his field he
should have been l to chance. He slip
ped away from the field at the rise of the
barrier, and romping along in front, led
throughout the journey and won pulled up.
Captain Browns friends increased their
winnings when Exclamation won the handi-
cap at mile. For this event Bondage was q
to ) choice, with Exclamation second in
favor at to /, at which price a goodly
commission from the stable went into the
ring. Little Robbins, who rode EXclama-
ton. sent him to the front at the start and
kept him there to the end, although he
tired badly and had to be ridden out to
land the race by half length.
The dilatory tactics and Indifferent ham
ding of Bondage by Mcintyre had much
to do with Exclamation's success. McIn-
tyre laid so far out of the contest the first
half mile with the favorite-twelve lengths
that he was unable to reach the winning
Bondage closed up q big gap. but was I'M
able to make up the early lost ground and
had to put up with second honors. Train
ers said the horse should have won had he
been judiciously ridden. Mcintyre was Sc
verely criticised for his poor ride. Bondage
is the horse recently suspended pending an
investigation.
After several disappointments Inquisitive
Girl finally ran up to her private work and
won the third race. She was badly inter-
fered with soon after the start and had to
be many pounds superior than her field In
order to land first money. From ninth
position at the start, she had to wend her
way through the maze of flying horses. and
found it difficult work to find clear ground
until the stretch was reached. At that
point she was sixth. Once in the stretch
she found an opening next the rail. She
cut the corners sharply and rushed to the
front and won easily.
Only decided favorite-Falernian-
won. The other races were won by we'll
backed second and third choices. In the
last event The Regent and Satire were
equal favorites at to 1 each. The Eastern
contingent of bettors pinned their faith to
the latter and lost big wad Of money on
him when The Regent beat him home.
Early in the day the track was heavy
and filled with hard clods of earth. but
during the afternoon, under the warm
rays of the sun and the rollers of the asso-
citation. the track improved very much and
good time was made in a majority of the
races.

CUP-HUNTING CRAZE.
No Longer Love of Play, but Greed for
Trophies.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Has the cup-hunting craze among anna
teur golfers reached dangerous stage? In
the opinion of some close followers of the
game the real love of the sport is being
swallowed up in the all-absorbing desire to
win prizes. 1t is matter of record that in
the history of many sports no sooner have
prizes of intrinsic value been offered than a
certain brand of professionalism has crept
in. 19IsYD5
Nowadays prizes are sought because of
their value, whereas the true sportsman es-
teens the trophies more for the honor of
the victories they representa-
The mania for prizes does not exist solely
with the men. An instance might be cited
where a woman won silver medal, which
in itself indicated its owner to be golfer of
considerable ability, but the player evident
ly failed to view the matter in the same
proposition to the donens of the medal. She
requested to be allowed to pay the differ
ence between the silver and gold medal,
the amount being $50. v Trau
There Is another case on record where a
woman won a bronze medal The fact
that 1t required golf decidedly above the
ordinary TO win this medal apparently cut
no figure SO far as the prize went the lat
ter to her being nothing more or less than
piece of bronze. with very little intrinsic
value. In due time. therefore, the woman
had the medal gold-plated.
At an open tournament In the metropoli-
tan district an amateur engaged in a medal

ing he was given an allowance considerably
more than he deserved. and consequently
had no difficulty In returning very low net
score. This individual was one Of the first
to finish in the handicap and as the day adj
vanced without any one else returning a
card within several strokes of the best
figures 1t was generally conceded that he
had captured the prize. He evidently
thought SO himself from the fact that he
asked one of the tournament committee IL It
would be all right for him to leave at once
