ants were Harry O'Sullivan and John
Zimnoch. of the home club, and Charles
j. Herold, unattached.
Two heats were arranged, and in the
first Ramme. Whearley, 0'Sullivan and
Zimnoch started. They got Off we'll 20
gether, and for two lengths of the
seventy-fye-foot pool there was not
a yard between the first and last. Then
Ramme made his bid and gradually
drew away, winning by nearly three

held il over half the course, keeping
Nollmer az n safe distance and gain
ing sensibly on Reilly, who seemed
hopelessly beaten.
But the veteran had something up
his sleeve. On nearing the seventy
hve-yard turn he unwound a brilliant
sprint. and was soon abreast of his
teammate. who had meanwhile out
stripped Herold.
The last lap of the race was a splen-

Reilly, but neither could gain an inch
and their outstretched hands touched
the winning posts with on accord in a
perfect dead heat. The time was
0:59 Is.
Besides the deciding heat for the
championship event. this evenings pro-
gramme includes handicap swims at
fifty and 200 yards. a fancy diving con
test from the three-foot springboard
and a fifty-yard obstacle race.
The diving exhibition promises TO be
unusually interesting. Not only Will
Arthur McAleenan, Albert Downes,
Joseph Dunn and Frank Mullen, all
present or former champions, take the
board, but some of the star high school
performers. who appear pointed
straight at signal honors. also are
booked to compete. Surprises in the
awards may be anticipated.
Practically every swimmer of note IN
the district will take part in the ham
dicap races.

CLASS B BILLIARD
TOURNEY BEGINS
Clarke, Former Holder of
Title, Wins in a Long
DraWn-Out Game.

The annual tournament at 1872 balk-
line billiards for the national amateur
championship in Class B. started at the
Amateur Billiard Club of New York
yesterday afternoon, with e.. P. Is.
Clarke, a former holder of the title,
defeating David Weiner by score Of
300 points TO l89.
Clarke required forty-seven innings
10 gather his total, his average being
6 18-47. His high runs were %, Il and
II. Weiner's average was 5-46, and
his high runs were 20. Is and Is.
Neither man played within several
points Of his real ability, Clarke par
ticularly being off in this respect. Tried
campaigGer as he is, the former
champion seemed nervous and unable
to gain control of his stroke. His
technique was finished and occasional
ly he earned applause by executing a
difficult shot, but he was never able
to keep the balls together for more than
six or seven shots in row. Most OF
his failures TO score were the result
of missing easy draw shots.
Weiner, who has never appeared be-
fore in a national tournament, is a
player of wide experience, having taken
part in many local fixtures. His style
Yesterday was bit awkward and he
stabbed at the ball with his cue, show
ing little of that nicely of stroke that
Clarke used. His eye for angles was
weak, too. and this caused him to miss
many easy shots.
Clarke went into the lead at the end
of the sixth inning. and drew steadily
ahead until the finish, the game requir-
ing almost three hours in the playing.

CROSS WANTS ONE
PUNCH AT SHUCRUE
East Side Lightweight
May Turn Tide with a
Single Blow.

Leach Cross. one of the old guard OF
the present day lightweights, will face
young" Shugrue, the Jersey City
lightweight, in ten-round contest at
Madison Square Garden tonight. Twice
before these boys have met in ten
round contests and in each case there
was little TO choose at the end.
In the first contest Shugrue tottered
on the verge Of decisive defeat. Cross
foored him with right hand punch
on the chin, ana the bell alone saved
him from being knocked out Youth
and condition rallied to the dropping
standard of the Jersey City lad, and at
the end he had Cross backing up.
The men will weigh in at 1876 pounds
at o'clock. Just why they named
that hour is a puzzle, for both are able
10 make 1873 pounds and be at their
hest. Action of the fastest may be eX-
pected when these boys come together.
Cross is one of the most dangerous
punchers in the ring, one of the sort
likely to end a bout in one wallop.
Shugrue is a cyclonic worker, tast,
game and aggressive, but without
what boxing fans call convincing
nunch. Since he worked his way into
fast company he has won few bouts
with knockouts, although he has man
aged to outpoint the majority OF his
opponents. -,
Shugrue is a slight favorite with the
enthusiasts because of his greater
speed. It is thought that he will out
lab and outlook the East Side dentist,
and at the same time manage to keep
away from the hard punch which Cross
is known to carry in both hands. 1t is
the opinion of many keen critics that
Cross's best chance is to put over one
crushing wallop. Cross will try to land
that blow, for if ne defeats Shugrue
bouts with Freddie Welsh and other
topnotchers will result.
The State Boxing Commission of
Wisconsin is evidently determined to
prevent boxing matches between
negroes. II refused to give permission
for match between Sam McVea and
Sam Langford. It is said that the
Mayor of Milwaukee, the chief Of po-
lice and the District Attorney are OPP
posed to the match.
