bly, by next Monday and almost
surely by Tuesday Walter johnson

Griffitn's explanation. IL he had

would be at the top of his form
earlier than he will be now. but
still he has time enough to get into
condition. He had a good winter,
and will not need SO much work
as he might have otherwise"
Just as Johnson was about to
start for Florida, his son, Robert

Paul v. Costello. national singles
rowing champion, and Walter M.
Hoover, Of Duluth. win meet this
summer in race for the Philadel-
phia gold challenge cup, now held
by Hoover, who Is also holder of
the diamond SOULS trophy. Al tele-
gram received in Philadelphia from
the Duluth star accepted the chal-
lenge issued some time ago by Cos
tello.
This action of Hoover sets at rest
the report that he would retire from
competition and forfeit both tro-
phies. 1t is now thought likely that
he viii go to England this summer
to defend the diamond sculls- He
will probably be influenced in this
