The result of the trial of
Reuben Barbee may not suit you,
but what are you going to do
about il? For one we have be-
lieved that the court had good
evidence for conviction once and
failed, and we see no reason for
vengeance where there is a prob
ability Of doubt. In thinking Of
this case one is reminded of the
secession when Barbee was found
not guilty Of shooting Cole, but
sned for carrying a concealed
weapon.

FROM the report of the grand
jury it will be seen that that au-
gust body found bad conditions
in the court house basement and
made recommendations regard
ing such conditions. but at this
writing nothing has been heard
Of improvements being made.
Really, when you consider the
many times grand juries have
called attention to these things,
what is the use nothing is ac-
eomplished.

be sincere in their efforts at put

After Crawling Out OF one Match

Alf Shrubb. the English professional
runner, has two hfteen-mne races sched-
uled within the next two weeks, one with
Tom L0ngboat on Saturday and the other
with Henri st. Yves a week later.
There is something queer-lOoking about
the first. After his defeat in the Mara
thon match at the Garden. Shrubb signed

race, and al the last moment DOrando
was substituted. Longboat was accused
OF being a gutter and afraid % take on
the BritOn at the latter's own distance,
although he had agreed 10 do so. At least
that is the version that was given 10 the
public.
Il now develops that Saturdays match
race IS none OF Shrubb's making Long
boat asked for II on his own hook and
Shrubb took him Up. Without waiting
TO consult with his managers. the Indlan
asked for an early date. and Saturday
afternoon. At .Rosedale Park, Toronto,
was agreed upon.
Lolgboat never did banker particularly
about being beaten. and that ne should
deliberately ask Slrubb for a race AT a
distance entirely 20 the latters liking
makes Il look as though there IS more be-
hind the thing than the public knows. IN
the Marathon derby LOngboat ran as
though he had not another good race in

IN the above estimate viii undOUbtedly be
made up by the entry of teams from

70 expect 100 two-men teams and fully
$500 individual entrants. making a grand
total Of nearly 1890 men competing and
more than 8. goo games TO be rolled Il is
feared that Il might be necessary 70 close
the entries considerably earlier than was

May 8.
