The Irish-American Athletic Club won th*
tnational cxos#-cotratry team championship at
Travers Island yesterday, -with a total of 29
! point*, after a keen struggle with the New York
Athletic Club, which scored 34 points. F. »

■Mohawk club, and some thirty others.
SCebrich ran the distance of about six anA a
Jtalf milea In the fast time- of 84 minutes 29 4-5
issoondß. The record for the course Is 81 min
utes 23 (second?, made by John J. Joyce In 1902.
Jbut Xebrtch's time was Quit© as good consider
ing' the heavy, muddy going. His performanoe
•mm the more remarkable as he has dons little
Tit no cross-country running, and only got in
Hrom Buffalo two or three hours before the race.
Matt Halpln, the New York Athletic Club train
er, sent for him only at the last minute to bol
ster up the team when Jones, the Intercollegiate
i champion, decided not to run. His victory,
! therefore, was in the nature of a surprise. Bon-
Jiag was a pronounced favorite.
' JCebrloh had been advertised to run in a set
■of regimental games In Buffalo on Friday night
[«Sd was forced to start. He not only -won the
'one-mile race In 4 minutes SO seconds from
[scratch, but had to work his way through a
Xeld of forty- two runners. In spit* of , this he
iwas fast enough to come down to Xw York
if *.nA win the national honors yesterday across
{country.
f The weather was dull and lowering and too
warm to be tva^onable The course was wet
fund slippery and ankle deep in mud in some
.places. A water Jump, two fences and two .stone
••walls v .a.l to be negotiated three times each, so
th«r* was no lark of variety. The course was
itald cut o\er a fairly rough country. Th« cir
cuit was » little over two miles, and It had to
V«e covered three times, the Ptart and flnifh be
ing on the regular track at Travers Island. The
crowd was limited to the friends of the runners
end a few enthusiasts, and numbered about five
hundred person*.
Twenty-one runners lined up for the senior
chcmplonship, seven from the NVw York Ath
letic Club, seven from the Irieh-Amerlcan Ath
letic Club, Jive from the Mohawk Athletic Club
«md one each from the Pastime and Xavier clubs.
William Nelson, the well known English runner,
was the only man to represent the Pastime Ath
letic Oub, and" he dropped out at the end of two
miles. E. P. Carr ran for th« Xavlers. and fin
ished a good fourth.
The BsM went off well bunched, with Kelson,
iF«.rrell, Boniiag, Conn and Frank the leader* for
half a mile. N>brich then worked his way to
the front, mad. forcing the pace, had th" others
jjjretty well strung out at the end of a mile. At
the two-mll« mark he led by some sixty yards,
and was running strong. Bonhag was second,
■with Daly third, and Frank, Root and Hasklns
following In that order. Harvey. Cons and Xel
eon dropped out at this point.
There was little change in the order in the
Fecond round of two miles. Nebiich. moving
with a free, easy stride, hud increased his lead
To a full one hundred yards. Daly had moved
Into second place. with Bonhac: third. Thw
heavy going was against the last named, and he
did not appear to have anything in reserve aa

Uonhag was third and Carr, who" had passed
Frank, fourth. Frank got an ugly fall, and did
■well to finish fifth. Root all but caught him at

The juniors ran in cloee company for two

away, and ran ttride for ttiide for another two
miles. On the third circuit Collins could not

BAR AMERICAN OARSMEN
HENLEY STEWARDS ACT.
A\ A. A. 0.. to Enter Cream, Must
Make Agreement with British.
Liondon. Dec 15. — As a result of disclosures In
the Inquiry held by the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen of America that the expenses
of the crew of the Vesper Boat Club, of Phila
delphia, which rowed at Henley in 10O.">, hai
been paid In part by public subscription, which
disqualified them uder the laws of the Amateur
Rowing Association of England, and because
the officers of tho national association of Amer
ican oarsmen had certified a? to this crew's
Ftatus hs amateurs without that Inquiry which
they had led the Henley committee to believe
had been made, the stewards of the Henley
regatta passed a resolution to-day under which
all American crews and scullers are debarred
ln future from competing at the Heniey re
gatta until the American rowing authorities
complete an agreement with the Henley com
mittee such us a!r<-ariy exists with the French.
Overman. Dutch. Belgian and Canadian associa
tions.
The question was brought up by Fletcher, the
Oxford coach, as an outcome of the trouble in
the Vesper Boat Club, of Philadelphia, last June,
and after a lengthy discussion the general rules
of the regatta wer« ordered to be altered in ac
cordance with a resolution, which was unani
mously approved, as follows:
No entries shall b« accepted of any crew or
sculler, out of the United Kingdom, belonging
to a club not affiliated to a union or federation
having an agreement with the committee in
charge of the management of the Henley Re
gatta. ■ , .' -
Fletcher gave notice, of this motion on June
23, after the stewards had decided to disbar the
Vesper crew from future participation in the
Henley regatta, and it has been much discussed
elnc« that time. As first proposed, the resolu
tion unqualifiedly debarred the committee from
areeptlng the entries of crews and scullers from
America, but Fletcher intimated that his Idea
was only to make this temporary to give the
Americans time "to put their house in order."
This step, however, was considered far too
drastic a course by the rank and rile of oarsmen.,
■who did not believe that all American rowers
should puffer for the. sins of the Vespers, and the
failure of the officers of the National .Association
of Amateur Oarsmen to make full Inquiries be
fore certifying to th? qualifications of this crew.
It was, therefore, decided to disbar the crews of
any country not having an association in agree
ment with the Henley committee.
It is believed that this resolution, as passed,
•will induce the National Aesociation of Amateur
Oarsmen to make such arrangements with the
Henley committee as will Insure in the future
the entry only of crew* whos« amateur status Is
unquestioned. ft
To-day's meeting of the regatta stewards was
held under the presidency of J. W. Rhodes be
hind closed doors. Among others present were
Lord Desborough. Sir Robert Herraon-Hodge..
W. F. D Smith. If. P.; R. C. Lehmann, and
Coach Fletcher.
Th« passing of even this moderated resolution
has caused surprise here, as it was thought that
the regatta stewards were satisfied, after the
discussion which has taken place during th<»
last year, that their wishes would b* met by the
American rowing associations. The only other
prominent rowing country affected by the ruling
Is Australia.
It Is customary in points at issue with tho
Henley stewards that all motions" shall be mado
two meetings in advance. Consequently, Fletch
er's motion to bar all American clubs' did not
com* up for final AfacUMlon until to-day.
. It wa* announced from Henley on .Tune 23 that
the Vesper Boat Club, of Philadelphia, had been
barred from further competition at the Henley
R«*gatta. This step was the outcome, of the ac
tion of the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen in regard to the vlFit of the Vesper crew
to Henley in I!**."*. The barring of the Vesper
crew from Henley was followed by notice, of a
motion made by Fletcher, the Oxford coach, that
no further entries from any American rowing
club should be accepted.
At a meeting of the executive committee of
the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen
held at the New York Athletic Club, on March
i.. charges were preferred against the manager
and rmrnbere of the Vesper crmv and the treas
urer of the Vesper Henley fund. The accused
oar.-men were allowed three weeks to prepare
answers to the charges, and the executive, com
mittee was instructed to investigate the case.
At a meeting held at the Athletic Club of
Philadelphia on April' 7 the charges of laxity in
the us*- of the subscribed funds provided to m* et
the expenditures of the Vesper club at Henley
were investigated, with the result that the
treasurer was censured for lax methods In hand
ling the fund, the manager of the crew wan
suspended for one year for injudicious expendi
ture of money Intrusted to his care, and the mem
bers of trie crew were suspended for one y. I r
for accepting money.

Root and Fogler won a dashing but unpopular
victory, Judging: by the storm of hisses. In the
six-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden
last night. Downing and Hopper and Rutt and
McFarland were second and third, respectively.
Eight teams were tied when the long grind was
over, and Fogler, Downey, Rutt. Mac.Donald,
Mettllng. Downing, Clark and Emil Georget
were chosen to ride out a last mile to decide the
distribution of the prize money.
Walthour and John Bedell were sent oft the
track before the last mile after a plucky attempt
to get the forfeited lap, which the Judges had
refused to give them back half a dozen times.
Samuelson and Breton, another reconstructed
team, were also sent off, and these two teams
did not ride it out for ninth and tenth places.
The last mile was the most exciting two min
utes of the week. From the crack of the start
er's pistol to the end Fogler showed the way. a
wave of hisses following him as he circled the
saucer shaped track. For two or three Japs
Emil Georpet hung on Just .behind his front
wheel, but then dropped back. Downing and
Rutt taking his place.
Round and round they went, the only changes
in the relative positions being tho steady drop
to the rear of Georget, and the alternate change
In second place between Downing and Rutt."
Try as they would they could not get their
wheels In front of Foglers. On the last lap
the three leaden were abreast, but In the last
few yards Fooler jumped his wheel a few inches
ahead and shot over the line a winner, with
Downing and Rutt at his wh«el. The others
followed in close order, with Georget a quarter
of a lap in the rear.
The last mile was a good exhibition of hard,
clean, fast riding, but it was the most unpopular
; in its result that has been known in the garden.
Derisive yells, catcalls and hisses greeted the
Judges' decision. The crowd had already ex
pressed its contempt an hour, before when It
was announced that Walthour and Bedell and .o _ .
Breton and Samuelson would not ride in the last and "Fog-ier ll*£ was 1 "j^* Tn^* > £&*%

throughout the evening children who were sepa

Detective Sergeant Pea body had a large squad
of detectives under him looking for pickpockets,

rogues' gallery were refused admittance. For
the first time uniformed men appeared in tho
building, and as a result there was no disorder
I ho afternoon and evening crowds seemed to
»>e of a better class than those who were in at
tendance during the week. This was due to th
fact that early in the morning the police put
out all those who had been in the Garden since
the race began a week ago.
Speculators were on hand and did a rush
ing business. The admission tickets which sol
at the box office for $2 were disposed of with
out trouble at from $4 to $10.
At (5 o'clock the afternoon crowd was put
out of the lower seats to make way for those
who had reserved seats for the evening. Man
complaints were heard that the management
had no right to sell afternoon seats as late as
4 o'clock and then drive the occupants out two
hours later.
From 6 o'clock until the end of the race there
was a serious of spurts in which the riders
made attempts to gain laps or to make-up the
ones they were behind.
Coffey made an attempt shortly after 6 o'clock
to get a lap, and had succeeded in losing the
bunch when tho red flag went out. All of the
riders tried to oaten him. but as his pace was
terrific they found it an impossibility. The
Judges refused to explain why the red flag went
out. and Coffey's work resulted in nothing.
The crowd hissed and hooted at the decision.
Kutt and Bamuelson made the pace early in
the evening and Matt Downey tried several
times to st.nl away, but to no avail. - Walthour
received a great welcome when he came on the
track at 7 o'clock, but ho did not try to re
gain the lap which his team was behind. All
of the foreign riders watched Walthour closely,
and at the slightest indication Georget, who
closely followed his rear wheel, would shout
a warning in French and the others would rush
out ahead of Walthour in order to prevent any
attempt to gain thai lost ground.
Early Saturday morning Vanderstenyfi and

Heights Casino Players, of Brook
lyn, Beat Boston Cadets.
Displaying speed and aggressiveness upon the
Indoor lawn tennis courts, the team of the
Heights Casino of Brooklyn yesterday defeated
', the team of the Cadet Corps, of Boston, in the
second of the championship series of matches
for the honors of the- Inter City Indoor League.
It was the second defeat that the Bostonians
had experienced, as two weeks ago they -were
beaten by the team of the- 7th Regiment.
Hugh Tallant, the Harvard veteran; C. M.
Bull. jr. champion of the Crescent Athletic
Club; Frederick B. Alexander, metropolitan
champion, and W. C. De Mill© represented th»
Casino yesterday, while the- Boston representa
tives were Richard Bishop. B. S. Blake. P. l.
Schuyler and G. Walworth. For the Cadets
Blaka was the only player to score a set. as h*
won his first from Bull.
Tallant and Bishop came out at 11 a. m. for
the singles. The- Harvard player was easily at
his best, as he mad« use of his powerful drives
on the canvas covered floor. Bishop was puz
zltd by the Ions:, low bounds, and. as it was im
possible for him to get up to the net. lost th©
match at 6-3 and 6—4.
The early contest of the afternoon session on
the courts brought together Bull and Blake.
The latter accomplished some excellent placing
in the- first set. an.i by getting up to the net and
smashing at critical periods, was successful In
scoring the set at 6—l6 — 1 before Bull had his game
well in hand. The swift service of the Crescent
champion, and his good and timely placed
drives, however, worked havoc In Blake's court
during the next two sets, so that Bull finally
scored the match at 4— 6 3 and 6—3.
Frederick B. Alexander and W. C. De mils
paired in the doubles. They came up to the net
constantly, and volleyed SO rapidly through th«
opposite court, which P. L Schuyter and O.
Walworth defended, that the latter were con
stantly compelled to fall back. Th« Boston pah
lobbed with goo.l effect, but were unable to turn
the tide of defeat, and lost the match in straight
sets at 6—4.6 — 4. 6—4.6 — 4.
Following the matches, a meeting of the rep
resentatives of the intercity clubs was held and
William B. Cragin, Jr.. 7th Regiment Lawn Ten
