! IN The FIELD OF SPORTS !
MURPHY TRAINING
HARD FOR BATTLE.

So far as the, east is concerned, in
terest in the fistic future is centered
in the coming meeting between Tom
my Murphy, of Harlem, and Spike
Robson, the featherweight champion
of England, which Is scheduled to
come off in Philadelphia on the even
ing of Wednesday, February 20. AL
though the length of the bout-six
rounds-prevents it taking on a
championship aspect, the outcome
will be fraught with much Importance
to both men. Murphy's victory over
Young Corbett justifies him in MAX
ing a bid for the championship of
America, for with the exception of
Attell the featherweights seem to
have run to seed. Realizing that he
is now in right, Murphy, under John
ny divers careful guidance, is pre-
pairing faithfully for the coming
event, knowing that If he sustains a
setback at the hands of Robson he
would have to start all over again. He
Is preparing at Harlem, where his
stunts are daily watched by hundreds

CUPS AT MEET.
Local High School Runners Made
a Gallant ShOwin1 at Poly
Props Games.

Perth Amboy high school made a
splendid showing at the third annual
indoor games of Poly Prep, held in
the Twenty-third Regiment armory
in Brooklyn Saturday afternoon. Nal
colin Crowell won two silver cups,
getting fourth place in the junior 220
yard dash, and running a dead heat
for third place in the junior rs yard
dash. In drawing for third place,
Crowell was the lucky one
Christian Nielsen won the second
trial heat in the $50 yard run, nov
ice, in the fast time of 1 minute, 38
seconds. He reserved his strength
until near the end, when he let out
and passed the others with ease. He
played the same tactics in the final
heat, but waited too long before start
ing to sprint. 1t was a piece of hard
luck for Amboy.
CrOwell had to run five times to
win his two cups. He won the first
trial heat in the junior rs yard dash
in S AS seconds, and was second in
the first heat of the semi-finals. In
the final he ran a dead heat for third
with Reddell, of Brown Prep. In the
first heat of the 22O yard dash, Crow
ell was first, in 81 seconds. In the
final heat he was fourth, the time of
the winner being 26 seconds.
Four other local high school boys
competed, John Rielley and John Ma
her in the rs yard dash, Junior; At
wood Belchef in the 220, junior. and
Alexis Eastburn in the rs yard dash,
novice. To their credit let it be
known that none finished last. The
showing made by the local boys, who
scored two points, is creditable when
1t is known that the meet has never
been surpassed in interscholastic ath-
letics; that several records were
broken; that the winners of the meet,
st. Paul's school, only made 23 points
and that the famed Lawrencevillei
scored but three. Other schools which
scored two points were East Orange
and Rutherford high schools and
Newark academy. Such crack schools
Morris High, Horace Mann and
Stuyvesant scored but one.
A number of rooters accompanied
the local runners to Brooklyn.

Lincoln Savage is just IN receipt OF
communication from State Super
intent j. II. Ackerman, in which
some changes made in the law re.
garding the applications for state
certificates or diplomas are men
toned. For instance, in making ap'
pliostion for state certificates the
applicant must take examination in
three successive examinations on Is
subjects sp Gifted in subdivision 8,
section q. School Laws of Oregon, one
of which is English literature. Then
in trying for the state diplomas the
applicant must pass an examination
in botany, plane geometry and general
history, which may be taken at any
one examination during the life of his
state certificate. This is on the as
sumption that the applicant takes out
a state certi fcate before he takes out
his state diploma. If the applicant
wishes to take ont the state diploma
at once. he must complete the II sub
jects in three successive exsmins
tions. All of the foregoing takes
effect in February 1905.
