@HAIRMAN H. oBERTUBBESING,
of the A. A. U. registration COM
mittee in a letter to the Rev.
edward F. Quirk, of the Father
Mathew T. A. B. Society. which assoc
citation recently conducted a set of
athletic games in the First Regiment
armory, informs the clergyman that
mis- committee canno overrule the de-
cision of the judges in the ten-mile
race. 1t will be recalled that the judges
determined that Frederick J. Seyfarth,
the 1ve-mile Diocesan Union champion.
had been Tapped twice in the race and
was third. AS a fact most people who
saw the race were positive that Sey-
farth had not been Tapped and had
won the race. The judges became
mixed in the number of laps.
1t is commonly believed now that tho
men never did the ten miles and that
the of lightweight laps recorded
in S~eyfarth's favor was the correct
tally, and hat the count of ninety
given to the first two men was a
mistake.
All concerned in the case have ag-
greed to stand by the decision of Mr..
Obertubbesing. whose committee can
do nothing to reverse the decision of
the judges when there was no rocked
ness in the affair. There was nothing
wrong in the whole mix-up except the
judges "balled" things. Seyfarth, who
won the race, will not get the prize,
but he will get the honor. 1t wouldn't
be a bad idea for the clubs interested
to get together and give the plucky but
unfortunate lac some nice remembrance
of the race that was such a hard one
for him.

A rule that his hitherto failed of
passage by the A. A. U. to the effect
that a list of competent officials be
made up from which sets of officials
can be chosen for every meet, should
be passed. There should be some such
rule as that, because it must be great
satisfaction to a runner to find that
after plugging and winning a long
distance race incompetent scorers have
taken away the honors from him. The

Out of this apparent billiard peace
comes Hopes claim to the champion
ship of 1871. 1t is said that George
Sutton. the title-holder, soon after
Hoppe had made his peace with the
billiard trust, said he would play a
fifteen hundred point match in three
nights play. This suited Hoppe. Last
night, however, Sutton stated that he
wanted Hoppe to play the fifteen hun
bred or the five hundred in one
hight. This seems like an evasion OF
the part of Sutton, and Hoppe appears
to be in the right in claiming the title.
1t wouldn't be a big surprise If the Bill
lizard Trust don't allow Hopes claim
that the youthful wonder would break
away again.

FORMER CHRISTIAN MINISTER
LOSES SON WHEN BARN

Bloomfield. Aug. 25.-Mr. and Mrs.

Liscomb where they attended the flu
neral of the Paris boy The details
of the horrible tragedy follow:
barn loft filled with hay. Wayne Paris.
aged s, son of Rev. T. f. Paris, pas
tor of the Christian church OF Liscomb,
and Teddy" Thurber, aged 5. son of
Fred Thurher, of Liscomb, met death
in one Of it's most horrible forms Sat
urday evening. The fire consumed the
little bodies so that they were nn-
recognizable excepting for the differ
ence in size and for little particles OF
clothing that remained.
The rear Of the Christian parsonage
property where the barn was situated,
was the scene of the terrible tragedy.
Several children had been playing
about the barn, and the little Paris
and Thurber boys had gone for some
matches with which to start bonfire.
Just how the matches happened to be
lighted in the barn loft will never be
known, and the first warning came
when the fire bell sounded an alarm.
Citizens of the town responded to
the alarm of fire with a will, but the
horribleness of the affair was unknown
at the time. and not until the fire was
under control.
1t was at once discovered by the
parents Of the two boys that they were
not among the other children who had
been playing about and in the barn.
The older son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thur
Der said that his brother and the little
Paris boy had just gone into the barn
shortly before, and that they had
fire. Even then. however. it was be-
lieved that, after setting fire to the
barn, and realizing what they had
done they had hidden in the weeds,
afraid to show themselves.
Rev. Mr.. Paris, almost frantic from
fear of the worst. entered the burning
barn, calling with all his strength the
names of the two boys He received
no answer. The barn was then a
mass of flames, as the left had re-
Gently been filled with hay. Mr.. Paris
had to be carried from the burning
barn by force and even then sustained
several burns and had Mss hair singed
badly.
The bucket bridage of citizens soon
had the fire under control and when
the heat subsidized sufficiently to per-
nit Of a closer investigation grew
some sight met the eyes of strong men
who baffled the smothering smoke to
make sure of the fate of the lads.

yet a boy and became interested in
newspaper work there. When the civil
