4 barked, tonight's moonlight
cruise OF the Wilson Line will be
taken over entirely by the Presidents S
Cup Regatta Committee, which has
left nothing undone to provide the
proper motif.
Headed by John A. Remon. presi-
dent of the Presidents Cup Commit
tee. the passenger list will include
nearly every one In the city con-
nected with the annual local event
which has developed in nine years
into a classic of national Importance.
A convoy of small yachts will ac-
company the City of Washington as
far as Hains Point.
Proceeds of tonight's cruise will go
toward the fund for staging the Pres
ident's Cup races here in September.
The committee has engaged the
services of some Of the finest enter

THERE will be no rowing nor canoe
events during this years regatta,
1t has been announced by President
Remon. Rough water, ideal for the
motor boats, has worked disastrously
on the light craft for the past two
years and Remon does not intend to
have visiting owners of these small
boats incur similar losses this year.
Sailing races on September Is and
26 will be held, however.

T IKE the postman, the horse
show bell always rings twice
in this goodly season of 1896.
IL On Saturday both Doughregan
Manor and Arlington Hall held
meetings, and this Friday there will
be an exhibition at Carter Hall, near
Berryville, with Saturday bringing the
annual Fort Myer Army relief affair.
Carter Hall Is a small, informal
meet in which most Of the people Of
the Blue Ridge country try out their
green horses, have friendly wars over
the respective merits of working hunt
ers, and between debates relax on the
shaded turf of one Of the loveliest es-
tates in Virginia.
The Fort Myer show also has that
tmiable air Of informality, which
makes the long hours pass pleasantly,
but the Army, Of course, goes in for a
slightly more pretentious and formid-
able entry list, including most Of the
top hunters and jumpers within van
ming distance Of Washington.
The show ground at the Virginia
terminus of Memorial Bridge is a
natural both for spectators and ex-
hibitors. The people sit on shaded
hillside and look out over terrain that
gives at least a fair approximation Of
the rolling country one encounters
hunting, and there is an inside ring
for the open classes, hacks and such.
Fort Myer also has the best possible
insurance against rain, an inclosed
riding hall, where the show is held
in the event of heavy weather.
A RLINGTON HALL really did itself
= proud in its debut on the show
circuit. There were few lapses from
perfection here and there. but I've
seldom seen a first effort that ran as
smoothly or appealed so much to its
patrons. Really the main catch de-
veloped in the students Workmanship
classes. These were expected to be
run OF In short order, but Capt. s. N.

FURR-DUbL|NSKY
DRAW |RKS FANS
Phil Seen Winner by Good
Margin, but One Judge
Gives Foe Bout.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

~ OUNCED into temporary fistic
u oblivion by one Of the daffiest
decisions ever rendered here,
- Phil Fur, District welter-
weight champion, today contemplated
peppering future ring foes with
machine gun fire to insure his win
ming q bout.
Apparently suffering from acute
eases Of astigmitism, Judge Frank
Schuyler voted for Harry Dublinsky
and Referee Denny Hughes called
the 10-round scrap last night at Grif-
dth Stadium q draw. This resulted
In draw verdict that robbed
Fur Of his well-deserved crack at
Barney Ross, world welterweight
champion.
In the eyes of Judge Dr. o. u.
Singer and an overwhelming majority
Of the $500 spectators, Phil earned
more than the dubious draw decision
that dumfounded local larrup lovers.
Even Furr's most skeptical followers,
who like nothing better than to see the
tattoed lad battered about the ring,
raised puzzled eyebrows when Col.
Jimmy Lake announced the verdict.
OF course, Phil may still obtain the
bout with Ross, but first he must
trim Dublinsky again. Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn already is angling for
q return fight between last nights

Fan. Disrusted With Verdict.

"A THOUGH the decision was a
- slap in the face to FUR, it was
0 smashing blow between the eyes
for local boxing The horde Of new
fans gained through the medium OF
the recent Petey Sarron- FREDDY Miller
encounter probably are mumbling
phrases to the effect of how foolish
It is to pay to witness q hold-up.
The regularity with which judges
have disagreed during recent months
would seem to augur well for new
system of detecting the winner of
clouting contests. Probably as fair a
method as the present one would be
70 let the two lads battle the required
number Of rounds and then draw
straws to determine the victor.
Seriously, though, the situation has
become acute. Unless some remedy
is Forthcoming, judges will dig a size
able grave in which to bury the local
boxing game.
The present judges. conscientious
as they are. are no better qualified
to oficiate than the average fan. Why
not, then, use referees who are not
scheduled to work fights that night
as judges? Here are men, for the
most part, who have studied the nog-
gin-knocking business for years. They
undoubtedly would give Washingtons
caulinower colony a better break than
It has received lately.
Solving one of S. S. Van Dimes
murder mysteries would be a cinch
compared to the task of untangling
the mental meanderings Of those OFF,
cials who denied Furr the winning
verdict over Dublinsky.

I IPPERVILLE is not only the old
est horse show in the United
States, but meeting so stepped in
tradition. fond affection and real
sporting spirit that little can be said
to enhance its great reputation. Scan
ming the prize list issued for the events
Of June II and II, I find no notable
alterations from past years, but the
usual promise of brilliant breeding
classes. keen hunter competition and
interesting diversions by way Of pony
classes, an open jumping tussle or
two, and some heavy draft events.
Very much in accord with that
thesis about imported judges. the list
of Upperville includes Frank A. Bon
sal, James Ryan and Watson Webb in
the hunter events; Thomas Hitchcock
for thoroughbred classes, and Col.
Sloane Doak for the remount horses.

Duffy Trims Wilson,

IN A SIx-ROUND semi-final that
= followed the main event, Jack Duf-
~, a horse-faced welterweight from
Baltimore with the kick of a mule in
either paw, pounded out a decision
over Bob Wilson, local larruper.
Pete Reily's highly regarded light
weight prospect, Ray Nash, was be-
ing considered in a more conserva-
tive vein today after dropping a six
round decision to Young Raspi Of
Baltimore.
Irish Johnny Dean, transplanted
Carolina lightweight, and Bobby
Dechter, Jewish southpaw, who have
managed to work up mutual hatred,
despite the fact that they are stable
mates, stepped six fast rounds with
Dechter showing vast improvement
over his former appearance to get
the nod.

sporadic flashes of the boxing ability
that carried his brother Tommy to the

De Shong Only Two Game Winner.

THERE may be nothing sensational
about the road record the Ma
tionals are bringing home today, but
by the same token, their performance
was nothing to cause shame. Despite
tossing away a game in Chicago
and another in Detroit, the Griffs
finished with six victories as against
five defeats.
In Chicago they dropped the only
game played by 13-to-l2 score, but
they whipped the Browns In two
game series. In Detroit the Tigers
swept three-game set, but Wash
ington came back strong in Cleveland
to whitewash the Tribe in a pair of
games. Two out of three was their
commendable record in Boston.
Regarded collectively, the pitching
was nothing to rave over. Only one
slabber, Jimmy De Shong, won more
than one game on the trip Jimmy
beat the Browns and Indians but he
took the lacing yesterday. The other
four victories were scored by Buck
Newsom, Whitehill, Jack Russell and
Monte Weaver. In the IL games
played the Washington hurlers gave
up IS runs and ia hits for respective
averages Of almost half a dozen runs
per game and slightly more than 10
hits. Fred Marberry, Ed Linke, Pete
Appleton, Newsom and De Shong were
charged with defeats.
Offensively the Washington record
was much brighter. The Griffs con-
trived to score 70 runs during the
11-game jaunt and to bat out 100
hits. The best part about the Grifian
attack, too, was the extra-base hit
ting. When they teed of the ball
went for distance.
Osty Wins Again by Shutout.
FRITZ OsTERMUELLER, who pro-
vided the dolorous ending of the
trip for the Mats yesterday, allowed
very little teeing of In registering the
seasons first shutout over the WASH
ington club in q regulation game.
George Blaeholder Of the Indians
whitewashed the home side previously,
but he was helped In his feat by
game-halting rain at the end of five
innings.
Ostermueller, in winning his third
victory of the year over the Nationals,
gave up only four hits. Half of these
were made by Red Kress, while Jesse
Hill and Buddy Lewis banged out the
others. Buddy's blow was a double,
In the eighth innings, that moved Hill
toward third base, a station which
Hill alone gained.
De Shong did not have his stuff
and was well pounded from the start,
but as it was, Jimmy hardly could
have won without his mates making a
run. The Sox counted four runs in
the first inning and added another
score in the second.
The third inning found Pete Apple
ton working for the Nationals and
the oldster did great but futile Job.
Pete gave up only three hits in the
last six innings, two in the fourth
frame which found the Bostons scor-
ing their final run.

Harry Clips Phil's Eye.

ID ALLYING in the sixth and seventh
~ sessions, Harry outclassed FUR
at short range and pecked away at
Phil's left eye, the bumper for nine
tenths Of Dublinsky's blows. The
swollen optic, victim of brisk right
hand in the sixth round, assumed
mountainous proportions in the sew
enth.
Clipping Harry's jaw as the boys
emerged from a viselike clinch, and
connecting with the staccato rhythm
OF woodpecker on Dublinsky's ribs,
Phil annexed the eighth round easily.
Striving to land his Sunday sock
IN the ninth heat, Fur chased Dub
linsky around the ring swinging wildly
in an effort to win by a knockout.
Failing, Phil bounced a stiff right of
Harry's jaw and then sent him sailing
half way across the ring with a solid
right to the stomach.
Although the steam vas gone
from the punches Of both boys, Dub
insky took the final round by grab
btng the lead away from Furr and
keeping right on top of Phil's re-
treating frame.

Fur Takes Six Rounds.

TAKING 6 of the 10 rounds, Phil
- was triumphant by a margin of
~ points on The Stars score sheet.
After dropping the first round,
when Harry peppered the left side
of his face with left jabs and right
hooks, Fnlrr found the range and
nearly hoored the Chicago clouter In
the second heat.
Bounding of the ropes as Dublin
sky closed in, Phil ripped chilling
blow TO Harry's head that set the
curly-headed puncher back on his
heels. Landing another stiff right to
the same spot, Fur stalked his op-
ponent. now groggy and reeling, into
position for his Sunday sock, but
Dublinsky weaved and bobbed his way
out of danger as the bell sounded.
Taking the next three rounds by
looping q straight right hand over
Harry's light left jabs, Furr dis
played some of the finest form Of his
fighting career, singing Dublinsky
repeatedly with his potent punching.
