One more nail was driven into the

Magistrate Groehl, sitting in the
Washington Heights court yesterday
issued fourteen summonses against
officials of the Grupp's Gymnasium and
Athletic Club, Incorporated, at 252
West 10th Street, for alleged viola
tions of the law in holding boxing
bouts last Friday night. The sum-
monses are returnable tomorrow.
Billy Grupp's club was as legitimate
as a boxing club could be, under the
existing laws, and apparently fell
clearly within the scope OF what
Governor Whitman recently Defined in
q public address, as his conception OF
o Mace where boxing could be lawfully
held. If Grupp falls afOul of the law
therefore. it is difficult to understand
how any Of the other clubs will survive

Taylor First in
Ice Skating
Handicap Race

The first speed skating races OF the
season were held last night at the 81.
Nicholas Rink, with good fields facing
the starter in the halfmile novice and
half-mile handicap events. The largest
crowd that has gathered at the rink
this winter was on hand TO cheer on
the favorites, and the time made in the
final heat by W. NJ. Taylor, the New
York Athletic Club starter, who won
the handicap. was considered fast un-
der the conditions.
There were more than q dozen start
ers in the handicap race, when was
run in two trial heats and final. Joe
Moore. a former Office boy at the rink
but now a matinee idol of the NOV
les" took the opening heat with plenty
to spare from the fCrty-yard marx.
TAYLOR. starting from scratch, was the
next man across the line. and STANLEY
Gershal. skating unattached, was good
third. Several of the men came 70
grief in trying 20 take the sharp turns
and slid across the ice, 20 the great
amusement Of the crowd.
The second heat went TO Irving
Reimer. of the Riverside Skating CIuo'
aided BY a twenty-yard handicap. Al
Lake. the indoor bicycle champion
among the amateurs, was second, q
short distance back, from the ten-yard
mark. and T. Ii. Barker, club mate
with a fifty-yard allotment, was thlrd,
In the final heat Moore caught the
limit man after q threc-lap chase and
held the lead until two laps from home
when TAYLOR. taking the corners besu-
tifully, began to crawl IN. TWO laps
from the finish he drew level with
Moore. and Gershal was at his elbow.
The three furnished thrilling brush
on the last lap, but Moore lost all
chance of getting home first when one
of the long mark men fell in front OF
him and Joe went crashing 20 the ice.
He picked himself up and had enough
speed left TO win third place. Taylor
won from Gershal BY inches only, IN
1888 1-5.
Jimmy Kieran. a schoolboy, took the
bonors in the novice class, winning
both his trial heat and the final IN
convincing fashion, with ". A. nag
never second and Louis Morris third
in 1:47. Some of the boys IN this
event found il easier 10 maze the turns
by sitting down instead OF trying 10
