Cooley received injuries in the encounter that placed him under the care of a physician for some time. Judge Tweedy declares that he only defend ed himself in striking Cooley and that Cooley had applied vile epithets and started toward him.
 The false Imprisonment charge is the third chapter in the controversy between Judge Tweedy and Oscar Vim.

SIX NEW RUNNERS
Times News Marathon Entry List Is Sweled By Monu-
mental City Athletes-Late Registrations Ex-
pected From Washington. ..

Six additional entries from Baltimore
received this morning for runners who
wish to compete in the annual inter-
city Marathon race under the auspices
Of The Washington Times and the Bal
timore News brings the grand total up
TO lS. The entry Of Raymond T. Fraz-
Ter, OF the Rosedale Athletic Club, yes
terday, does not complete the list of
fdently expected in the next two days.
Washington now has the splendid
total of fifty men entered. while the
Monumental City has recorded eighty
seven. Baltimore should naturally have
the largest entry, but the Washington
runners say they will make up In speed
and endurance what they lack in num-
bers. At all events the fourth renewal
Of the annual classics should be the
OF the country.
The latest entries are as follows:
l32-Milton Chambers, Lafayette A. c.
135-B: A. Sullivan, Lafayette A. G.
13i-M. A. Strauss. 1mmaculet Con-
Is5-Jack Markell, W. B. Y. NJ. C. A.

Milton Chambers and Bernard A. Sui
fayette Athletic Club. while NJ. A.
Strauss, of Immaculate Conception Ly-
ceum, will sport the insignia of that
organization in the twenty-mile grind.
The other three entries are Jack Mar
kell, OF the West Branch Y. M. C. A;
r. A. Lippert. Govans Cross Country
Club: and Edward McCauley. Cross
Country Club.
There are only two days left in which
entries will be received. and positively
no blank will be recorded on the books
unless II be in the hands of The Times
or The News before midnight on Satur-
day.
There Is a law in the Amateur Ath-
letic Union code that will have to be
lived up to by athletes who are listed
for The Times-News Marathon, and
that is the one calling for the entrant
to start in the race or run the chance
OF getting into hot water with the au-
thorities. Should an athlete not partici-
pate in a race after ne has entered. un-
less he has a reasonable excuse for not
doing so, he will be suspended as long
