1t was learned to-day that there Is

MADDEN CHECKED

NEW YORK, January FRANKIE"
Maddens aspirations to the lightweight
championship were temporarily check
ed at the National Athletic Club to-
night when he received a bad beating
at the hands of Tommy Murphy of
Brooklyn in ten rounds of the fastest
kind of boxing Madden was willing
enough, boring in continuously under a
shower of wicked jabs and uppercuts,
but the superior generalship and ex-
perience of his opponent proved far too
much for him.
Murphy was master of the situation at
all timse and took advantage of every
opening that afforded itself. His left
iabs and right counters were delivered
with machine-like precision and seldom
did any of his swings go to waste.

COUNTRY CLUB READYING
FOR SPRING SPORT BOOM

Preparations are being made at the
Country Club for the spring boom in
athletic sports which is at hand and
which will make itself manifest as
soon as the weather settles.
Alec McLaren, the club professional,
has built a new third putting green
and has it ready for planting grass. If
there is sufficient rain it Will be ready
for use in a few months. McLaren is
now at work on a new teeing ground
The ennis court of the club has been
put in the best Of shape, the Recurring
having been practically completed
After the oil has dried out a little and
the court has been thoroughly rolled
and market, it will be opened with an
invitation tennis tourney.
A proposition is on foot to lay out
a croquet grounds for the use of ladies
who do not care to play the more
strenuous game of tennis or to tramp
! the rounds of the links.
The Sunday lunch feature of the
club is becoming very popular. hume
rous automobile parties drop in for
lunch other than the regular golf ha-
bitues-who never miss a Sunday rain
or shine.
Many private dinner parties have
been given of late at the club which
is a most desirable place at which to
entertain strangers, the view from the
lanai being superb about the hour OF

LOCAL RECORD
MAY Be IBROKEN

The mile walk at the Chinese sports
to be held at the Boys Field on Satur-
day promises to be a very attractive
event. The race is open and the fol-
lowing entries have already been re-
ceived: Dick Sullivan, E. NJ. Cheat
ham, H. M. Ayres, Henry Chilling
worth, Dial Fahey, L. Rosa and Henry
Chillingworth. This field should man
age to make the track and local record
of $3.50 look sick. The track, however,
is in very bad condition at present, al
though work on it has been COM
menced.
There have been Chinese entries in
the recent walks and the Chinese have
included the free-for-all event in Sat
urday's program as an act of courtesy.
The other events of the meeting
promise to be very keenly contested. A
large number of Chinese athletes are in
training for the events and it is likely
that another En- Sue may be uncovered.

three-mie walk and it looks like being
won by Sam Hop, if he doesn't get eX-
