G'N Do 1t Again."
Declares Hubbard

NEW YORK.-The National A. A.
IT,, Saturday made public letter
from D. Hart Hubbard in which the
star broad jumper expressed desire
to absolve the A. A. U. of any sug-
gestion that it gave him "bad deal'
by refusing to recognize his worlds
record leap of 26 feet IA inches in
Cincinnati last September.
81 want to absolve the A. A. U. of
any such charges" Hubbard wrote
81 have learned that the referee
made a signed statement on my ap-
plication, in his estimation the sand
in the pit was an inch or so too low.
This is drawing it pretty fine with
out an actual survey, but | realize
that no record be accepted in the
face of any such statement by the
referee. In my opinion the pit was
absolutely o. X, but the referees
word is final"
"You may tell the wide wide world
that there will be another 26-foot
jump next year."

made Vic look like a plodding per-
cheron is left to the Judgment and
sentiment of the spectators. Foley's
famed left jabs, which have poked a
way to victory for him in innumer-
able wars, was not to be compared
with the stiff, jarring left jabs of
the long-limbed Carter. The white
boys usually effective hooks missed
IS often as they landed, and the
"Wildcat" lived up to his name thru
out. He was decidedly a different
young gent from the one who accep-
ted draw with Hector Mcdonald a
few weeks ago.
In the first round Foley was fast
and snappy, but missing, Carter
danced. In the second Carter began
sharpshooting with his long left, from
any and every altitude. Foley scored
some body blows and jabs and APP
peared to be trying for a knockout.
He tied Carter up in the clinches.
In the third, Foley landed a hard
