SHRUBB Confident OF
LEADING THE INDIAN

BOSTON, January 11.-Alfie Shrubb, the
English long-distance runner, who will
race Longboat in Madison Square Garden
at the Marathon distance January 26
has been doing over the roads ten. fifteen
and twenty mile runs and finished strong
each day. He is confident he will have
the strength to make a fine showing at
the Marathon distance, 20 miles 1856 yards
Il should run Longboat off his legs"
said Shrubb. He will either have to fol-
low me or let me go. If he follows me
will kill him at ten miles, If he let's me
go shall have such a big lead on him
that 1 shall win.
Il am fully aware that Longboat DOS
sesses wonderful endurance, but I shall
give him the most trouble he has ever
had"
Shrubb. for ten miles at least, is un-
doubtedly the fastest man in the world.
He possesses remarkable endurance and
phenomenal sprinting ability.
Shrub was SO fresh after running
twelve miles Saturday night that he look
ed as If he could have gone the Marathon
distance without extending himself He
ran the last lap like a 1OO-yard sprinter,
and his great speed caused old timers to
open their eyes. Some of the veterans
who held watches and clicked Shrubb
| while he was running at top speed said
he ran about 100 yards in better than
twelve seconds, and that he did this after
he had gone eight miles.

EASTERN LEAGUE MAY
INVADE TRl-STATE TOWN

READING. January 11.-EaStern League
base ball for Reading now looks like
sure thing, IL the report handed out Dy
William Abbott Whitman. the former we'll
known base ball magnate, is taken serf-
ously by the patrons. Territorial rights,
after all, as discussed at the recent ma
tional commission meeting in Cincinnati,
seem to have some meaning other than
the drafting of players, and Mr.. Whitman
saws that President Powers Of the East

will place teams in Reading and Trenton

RECTOR SAYS HE HAS
QUIT THE CINDER PATH

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, January
11-When seen yesterday at the Unfver-
sity of Virginia, James A. Rector, cham
pion short distance Splinter of the
American cinder path, once more con-
firrned the statement, sent out during
the Christmas holidays, that he had re-
tired from the cinder path and would not
participate in any Of the meets sched-
uled for the Virginia team this winter
and spring.
Upon his return to the university last
week Rector sent in his resignation as
captain Of the track and field team.
Il am not going to run this session,
said Rector with great emphasis. land
perhaps never again. l have no plans
for the future"
When asked if he would participate in
the Forthcoming meet with Georgetown
he replied: Il most certainly will not.
neither in the sprints nor as member
Of the relay team.
Rector laughed at the story sent out
from Memphis last week to the effect
that he had received a personal letter
from President Roosevelt asking him to
run another race with Walker, the South
African, when the latter comes to this
country this summer. Il received no
such letter." said Rector. There is alb
solute1y no foundation for the story"
He is confident Of his ability to de-
feat Walker. should the two again meet
on the cinder path for a second trial.
The fact that the south African has
twice within few weeks run the 100
yards in 2-5 seconds and has also
broken the record for the 100-meter and
the 12O yards does not bother Rector.
Rector ran the 100 meters several
times in London in world-record time.
while Walker ran it only once in that
time, but beat the Virginia Flyer out in
the finals.

same night At that meet they will all
strive for honors and the exceptionally
handsome prizes hung up by the club.
Melvin Shepard said yesterday that ne
began training the day after he was clear
ed of the charge Of accepting exorbitant
expense money.
1T wasn't the suspension that caused
me to take a rest. It simply gave me
an opportunity to lay up and not disap-
point any one. If I had obligations to
meet I would have remained in training
continuously all winter and waited until
the early spring for a rest. But the
action of the committee, while 1t caused
me much annoyance, fitted in nicely at
this time of the year. I think the en-
forced rest will do me good. and am
confident that / will be in perfect shape
by the end of the month"
While Fred Bellars, the New York A. c.
champion, is training daily, he says that
he will seldom be seen in competition in
this city. But he adds that he will surely
compete in the Irish games and those of
his own club.
Jimmy Lee, the former Boston A. A.
man, will not quit this city. as was an
nounced. "Of course. I was pretty sore
on the game after had been suspended,
but now that / am reinstated I have de-
distance runs. 1 will go slowly this
month in an endeavor to get in the best
of shape for the four-mile special at the
meet February g.
Harry Porter is in Chicago, but he has
wired the club that he will surely be on
hand for the games.
George Bonhag and Charles Bacon say
they will be in good condition for the
games. Bonhag will try to corral the
diamond ring in the four-mile special
race and Bacon will compete in the 600
yard special.

BASKET BALL NOTES.

Basket ball is fast reaching it's stride
and promises to be on a boom these next
few weeks, affording the public several
interesting and hair raising matches. The
Y. M. C. A. management has arranged
several games with the leading teams in
other cities and is worthy of a large at
tendance at these trays. as the boys have
been playing great ball and deserve the
praise and recognition Of the public In
their participations.
Capt. Givanoni of the Corcoran Cadets
is putting up an excellent exhibition by
his cool and steady playing for his team
and Is easily the backbone of this or
ganization. His team was considerably
handicapped in it's game with Navy, ow-
ing to the fact that the Middies played
under the intercollegiate rules, while the
Corcorans are in the habit Of employing
the A. A. U. rules in their play.
Capt. Edwards has annexed two promis-
ing players in Whammond and Ernshaw,
former members of the Carroll Institute
team. Both these boys showed to ad-
vantage in their first game in this league
against Troop F, and. although playing
showing and did much toward winning
first place for the Corcorans
At a special meeting of the Corcoran
Cadet organization last Monday evening
Capt. Edwards was authorized by the
head men of the team to strengthen the
five according to his own judgment. He
has been investigating the poor showing
of the quint and found lack of harmony
among the players. Although men OF
reputation in basket ball compose the
team, this advantage Is ruined by too
much attention to individual play, scorn-
ing team work, which in the end Is large
ly responsible for victories.
F'urges and McLane of the Troop F
quint are players of the working type and
scored all the points made by their team
in its last game. Furges at left forward
caused considerable comment by the spec.
tators, owing his excellent passing, while
his goal shooting easily outclassed the
other members of his team.
