in bad on the last zap, WhSn ne
would have been "in good" IL he had
followed Grenda. Instead he dropped
back to last position and put himself
out of the running. Grenda, by the
way, rode a fine race, but Rutt, who
came like a streak from the twelfth
pole home, won out by inches at the
finish. Kramer, too, came tearing
along high on the bank when it was
too late and was third. The other
starters were Frank Cayanagh and
Joe Fogler. They We're very
friendly" but the combination didn't
work. Cavanagh complained of feel
ing sick before the race. He rode as
If he was a dead one. He couldn't
get out of his own way, yet the next
time out he is likely to race his head
Off and beat the worlds champion,
Walter Rutt.

Manager MacFarland has cabled
Caesar Moretti, the Italian Splinter,
to sail for this country as soon as
possible. This big fellow is said to
have recovered from the injury to his
wrist, and he promises to be a for
midable opponent for the stars al
ready here Amedlo Polledri, another
italian cycllst, will come to ride at
the Velodrome later on.

Leroy S. Fales, the amateur ath-
letic commissioner of this district, is
evidently man of activity, judgment
and decision, and his ruling in the
case of the protest of Joseph Craney,
of the National Turn Verein, against
John Martin, of the Puritan A. C..
which was lodged with Chairman
Jacob Stumpf, of the registration
committee Of the Amateur Athletic
Union of America at the time of the
New Jersey State amateur boxing
championships, which were held I'M
der the auspices of the National TURF
Verein last March, is bound to meet
with the appreciation of all fair mind
ed followers of amateur athletics
Commissioner Fales after a thorough
investigation of the charge of pro-
fessionalism against Martin, awarded
the championship medal to Craney. Il
was proved that Martin is none other
than John Strong, a professional box
er and in sitting the matter to the
! bottom the commissioner has Ger
| tainly done fine work. Commissioner
Fales, 1 understand, is not going Il
stop at the case of Martin. He II
going to give close attention to these
amateur Journeys and endeavor t
see to it that professionals are no
able to ring in so easily against tht
real simon-pures. 1t is a pretty cheal
practise, but the commissioner is OF
the right road to stop it in this dis
trict. The pity of it is, there Seems
to be no fitting punishment for .th
pro for such an offense

Sensational stories from the pol
fields on Long Island have the Amer
lean representatives in a bad way
One yarn had Devereux Milburl
down with a broken rib, and LAIR,
Waterburys shoulder was in awful
shape, according to some of the. un
reliable reports. The fact is, Milburi
! is in tip-top condition. In the prac
tise match yesterday he displaye
his best form of the season, and hi
play was really brilliant Waterbury
too, is as lively as cricket, and b.
those who ought to know, il is sal
that the postponcment of the contes
will do us more good than 1t viii gu
foreign cousins.
The injury to Captain Cheape seem
to have taken the heart out of tn
followers of the English team, an
not a few of them are giving u
hopes of beating us. There seems t
BE- a decided slump in confidence an
good odds that the Americans wi
win the first game and will also wi
the match are going begging. Tn
price against the Britons is increas
ing and the odds are now to l Wit
plenty of money in sight. While tn
betting has been around 10 to 8 frol
the time the challenge was ISSUED
the odds have heightened as the frs
day of play drew near, until now, wit
, the initial game only two days OF
the Americans are hot to l choic
The betting doesn't always forecas
the winner, of course, but in polo
has been a pretty good line on I'll
probable outcome.

i That the Resolute will be chosen Z
the cup defender there isn't niue
doubt. She sailed. in good style yes
terday and she left in the shade ii
: proud Vanitie and the Defiance, whic
: was making her first real trial spil
l The Resolute not only Won. but 81
broke q record for the course in dom
| SO. The Vanitie seemed to do HI
} best, but proved no match for II
winner. The Defiance, it is believe
will not do. She didn't have much
a chance to show herself, howeve
as she became disabled one hour ar
twenty minutes after the start ar
withdrew from the contest. The Re
dilute is to be the yacht, I guess, al
the Vanitie and the Defiance migl
not have been chosen in any even
However, it is to be hoped that Il
