JOHNNY GALLAGHER
CLEARED OF CHARGE
Georgetown Man Is Exonerated
by Middle Atlantic A. A. u.
Board in Philadelphia.

Johnny Gallagher today stands cleared
of the charges made by several persons
in Philadelphia of having demanded ex-
cessive expense money to run in a
distance race there during March.
The case came before the registration
committee of the Amateur Athletic
Union a week or more ago, charges
having been made and Gallagher notf-
fled to appear before the committee.
According to the testimony submitted.
Gallagher was alleged to have ap-
preached the management of the mara
thon race and asked a certain sum of
money to maintain him during the stay
in Philadelphia in preparation for the
race. He was to appear in a distance
race in New York on Thursday, and
was notified that he would be without a
partner.
Gallagher maintained that he asked
the Philadelphia men for s25 to keep
him from Tuesday until Saturday, and
that upon being refused went to New
York, picked up a partner, and ran the
race. The charges were then brought
before the Middle Atlantic A. A. L.
board, and Gallagher was notified to
appear.
At that time mail was directed to
Philadelphia at Gallagher's home ad-
dress, and upon failing to appear the
committee suspended him pending in
vestigation. A week ago the case was
brought up and the committee decided
to reserve its opinion until today. when
the Georgetown athlete was cleared.
Gallagher Is at present in Philadelphia
and will be back here to start active
preparation for the Penn relay games,
which take place on April 26. 1t is in
tended that the Georgetown flyer take
his place on the mile relay team instead
Of preparing for The Times-News mara
thon race. He had given his promise
that he would enter the intercity race
to be held next Saturday.
Coach Mulligan of the Georgetown
track team thinks Gallagher one of the
best quarter-milers in the country, de-
spite the fact that he is best known as
a distance man. 1t is expected that
after he has been pointed for the Penn
relay carnival that he will be groomed
for the mile in the annual intercol-
legiate games at the Harvard Stadium.
His performance in the mile this win
ter at Georgetown when the distance
was clocked of in minutes 20 seconds,
will give him a look-in against John
Paul Jones and Norman Tabor. Gala
CHER has repeatedly done the mile in
around 400, and is expected to, show
even better time on a dirt track this
spring.

Falls From Maupas

1t required nine minutes for Joe
Turner, the Washington middleweight
wrestler, to get the first fall from AL
Maupas, of Baltimore, and one hour
and nine minutes for him to get the
second fall. Turner proved to be the
aggressor throughout the entire match,
taking the lead at all times.
Maupas demonstrated much clever
ness, but did not compare at any time
with the local boy. He has improved
greatly since his last bout here in 1872
