tive of the Irish-American Athletic Club. and be-
came the property Of the club for one year. Last
year Nebrich won the cup for the New York Atm
letic Club and it sent, by order of the column
bia track manager, from the Irish American Athletic
Club to posIer before it should be given to the
new holder. When the polsher had cleaned it he
sent it up 10 Columbia instead of TO the New \ ork
Athletic Club
The cup arrived at the university and as 1t was
addressed only Columbia University, it was
forwarded to superintendent's office to await
claimant Mr. Norris. who had just been promoted
10 the position and is somewhat sighted, could
tell what it although he had vague
notion that it had been sent him as a loving cup
by his forme" associates Accordingly. he gave II
a place of prominence and no outsiders ever
entered the inner office, he never discovered his
mistake
Meanwhile the New York Athletic Club began
worrying about the cup but thought that 1t was
an oversight the part of the Columbia manage
ment When the games came off this year the
Martinique Cup again put up for competition
and was by White for the New York AthIet'c
Club 4 few days after the meet Manager Mont
pnnery of the Columbia team received note
from the athletic club asking him to send the cup
and also saying that they had never received 1t the
year before, but they assumed that it had been an
oversight This led to investigation and the
finding of the trophy.
