JOEY RYAN LOSES HIS TITLE
JOHN SHUGRUE AGAIN BEATS
HIM IN TUB RACE.
Exciting Contests at Municipal
Bathing Pool Yesterday-List
of the Winners.

The honorary title of 'Tubby.' which
| is awarded to the champion tub racer al
the municipal bathing beach, was yester-
day won by John Shugrue. After bat
tie royal at the weekly water carnival he
wrested the title from Joseph Ryan.
The two boys have been close rivals fol-
the laurels in the tub racing since the
| weekly contests were started by Supt. w.
B. Hudson at the bathing beach. The
first two weeks that tub races were held
Ryan crossed the finish line twice in the
lead. and he was dubbed "Tubby'' Ryan
by all his friends. In the third contest
John Shugrue bested the former cham
pion.
So yesterdays contest was awaited with
great interest by every youngster that
patronizes the swimming pools near the
Washington Monument and by many
adults who have taken an interest In the
water sports. 1t was known that both
Ryan and Shugrue We're determined 10
win the championship for tub racing and
each of the boys had a large circle of
supporters.
'Rooters" Are Active.
AS soon as the race was started the
crowd on the edge Of the big pool began
to cheer, each for his favorite, and in
termined youngsters were battling side
by side Toward the end of the race
Shugrue gained slight lead, and he end
ed the race just two feet ahead
This was one of the features of the
aquatic contests at the bathing beach yes
terday afternoon. During the forenoon
Supt. Hudson was extremely dubious as
to the holding of contests. The tempera-
ture of the water was low and the skies
threatening. and he made no arrange
ments for contests.
at the beach, and by ) o'clock there was
the usual number of excited and anxious
aquatic athletes. The superintendent was
still dubious, but the boys then went to
him in a delegation and stated that they
had arranged for all the events and all
they needed him for was to act as starter.
Exciting Contest.
The first race was for 130 yards, and
owing to the large number of entries it
was swum in two heats. In the first heat
B. Fitzgerald and c. Railey qualified for
the final; and in the second heat E. Wells
and r. Nirnstein We're the winners. In
the final heat, which was close from start
to finish, Fitzgerald won, with Railey a
close second.
The second event was a match race be-
tween Elmore KintZ and Karl Carrick.
Both of the boys are among the smallest
who participated in the contests, but are
regarded aquatic experts. kintz won
by two yards.
In the underwater swim new record
was established. G. Rutherford went 127
feet under water, the best previous rec
ord being that made last week by Clar-
ence Railey, who went l1o feet.

INSPECTING CHICKEN CooPs

District officials have given their on-
cial sanction to the Growing of roosters
in square 1860, which faces on 4th street
between Bryant and w streets. This
sanction was given. however, only after
a majority of the householders had voted
in favor Of the "cock-a-doodle-d in the
block.
This is the first permit issued for the
keeping of roosters in the thickly popu-
lated sections of the city under the re-
Gently promulgated poultry regulations
and under it roos.ers will be allowed at
3O1 w street northwest.
That the rooster still has it's friends In
the District. despite the anathema hurled
against the chanticleer because of his
early morning vocal proclivities. is shown
in the number of applications filed at the
health office for permits to keep roosterS.
Annexed to these applications are losing
lists of signatures of houSeholders who
find music in the crow of the king OF
the roost in the early morning, or at
least who do not object to his presence
in the neighborhood.
1t Is expected that several more squares
will be designated as the ROSTERS haven.
The applications on file indicate that a
majority of the householders in other city
squares will raise no bar to the impOrta-
llOn OI TOOS.eTS.
Inspecting the Coops.
The health Office inspectors are busy
inspecting the cooos where the roosters
and their families are to be housed and
formally confirming the signatures filed
with the applications, and as soon as
everything is found o. X. the permits
will be issued. Officials of the health de-
'~rtment estimate that the householders
of about half a dozen squares have al
ready voted in favor of the chanticleer,
but no returns have been received from
the hundreds of other thickly populated
squares.
Some of the applications filed with the
health office to keeo chickens indicate
that the householders in the block have
blocked the presence of any roosters in
the flock A few signatures for the keep
ing of roosters were on the application,
then they were crossed off and at the
end was a statement that no roosters
are to be kept. The short list of sigma
lures indicated the blighted hopes of the
chanticleer to remain in the block. The
needed majority of the householders in
the block evidently would not give their
consent.

About $50 Applications Filed.

About 1JO applications to keep chickens
in populous squares in the District have

and 1t is believed that several hundred
permits for chicken coog.s in the thickly
populated squares will be Issued. AS no
permits are required for keeping chickens
in any square of which 10 per cent of
the property is unimproved there will be
no way of telling the total number Of
