JACK WOODWORTH
TO DEFEND TITLES
Washington Athlete Will Be Call
ed Upon to Keep Crown in
Skating Meet.

Jack Woodwork. who will represent
this city, in the big worlds professional
championship meet to be held at Con-
vention Hall next week. is the present
holder of all sprint titles from one to
five miles, and will be called upon 10
defend his title as champion of the
Capital City, the opening night Of the
meet
Woodworth. who with his team mate
finished second in the big twenty-four
team race held in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, December II. did not do
as well as II was expected he would.
About an hour before the finish, when
the different teams were trying to gain
lap on each other, Woodworth, collid-
ed with Billy Yale, of Philadelphia. The
referee believing that II was Wood
worth's fault fined the Woodworth-
Launey. team SO, penalized them one
lap. which put them on even terms with
the leaders.
This ruling was not announced to the
crowd. but was told to Woodwork and
Launey, and when these skaters who,
had been the leading spirit of the twen-
and left the track there was an awful
sigh that went up from the enthusiastic
supporters of this popular team.
That Launey,s who would have repre-
sented his team in the special mile race
for the leading teams, would have made
thlngs interesting can be easily credit
ed as he won the three-mile professional
handicap race from scratch the night
before. Launey and Woodwork will be
teamed In the various team races that
will be held. The big hundred mile derby
on Saturday commonly speaking is
made to order for this team, and they
will be well I'm the front when the shot
is fired for the final sprint.
