DYKEMAN RULED OUT Decision of Chairman Tilt of the Cen tury Road Club. RECENT FREDERICK RACE RECALLED Protest of the Century Cycle Club Upheld. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES Fred Tilt, chairman of the road record committee of the Century Road Club of Chicago, has written to Charles H. Coons, presiGent of the Century Cycle Club of this city, announcing the disqualification of Dykeman, one of the Arlington Wheel- men’s riders in the Century-Arlington road race of November 20. Subtracting Dyke- man’s score from the Arlington's total would give the victory to .the Century Road Club. The result, it will be recalled, was: Arlington, 106 points; Century, 104. Chairman Tilt’s letter follows: “Your appeal from the decision of Ref- eree Simpson relative to his refusal to consider your protest against the chang- ing of the lines and to disqualify Dykeman, has been turned over to me by the former chairman of the road records committee, Mr. McGarrett, and I have carefully con- sidered all the facts as presented and de- cide as follows: “Relative to changing the line at the finish from the place it was at the start I cannot see how the change could make any difference, and nct only that, but it was fair to all alike.and unjust to all alike. I have carefully considered all the evidence that I have at hand and do not think that if the line had been at the original start- ing place that it would have made any difference in the order of the finish. “On this I rule that Mr. Simpson's ruling was just and proper. “Relative to Dykeman will say that the statements of Referee Simpson and others at the finish that they saw Dykeman helped and also. the statements of. the riders and atso from Mr. Wilson, who says that he did hqlp him some, but explains why he did so, all tend to show that your appeal has good grounds. Mr. Dykeman’s affidavit that he was pot helped at the finish and the affidavit of Mr. Wilson that he steadied Mr. Dykeman’s wheel do not seem to balance. yi “I have had the use of all the affidavits sent to Mr. Simpson and can see no way but to disqualify Dykeman from any place in the race for having received assistance along the route. Such is my decision. “I am sending copies of this letter to Mr. Simpson and Mr. Gettinger. I am sorry that the matter could not have been closed before, but it is evident that Mr. McGarrett was waiting for at- tention from the Arlington Club. J find that he wrote to the secretary of that club January 2 and 13, and to Mr. Gettin- ger January 23, but do not find any state- ment from the Arlington Club to the ef- fect chat they wish to put in any eviden touching on the above appeal and so am compelled to close up the matter as de- cided above. “T am thoroughly satisfied that the Dyke- man protest is valid ard that the protest on the line is not. “J note what you say about the Galeskt put do not see how any protest on be of avail, as he was practically with his wheel all the time. He surely could gain no distance or time by throwing his wheel over the line and then following it on foot. A. O. McGarrett, formerly chairman of the road record committee, in a letter to Chairman Tilt, upholds him in his decision. In bis letter he says: “T have reczived the draft of your deci- gion on the protest of the C. C.

OXFORD, England, February 23.—Presi- dent Freemantle of the Oxford University Athletic Club, speaking of that organiza- tion’s declination of the challenge of the American universities for an international contest this summer, said to a correspond- ent of the Associated Press today, “We reached the decision only after the most careful and painstaking inquiry. No once regrets more than myself that we have been obliged to decline. When the chal- lenge was received in December I wrote to many past members of the Oxford Uni- versity Athletic Club, men who are thor- oughly posted in the history of interna- tional college athletics, and the whole mat- ter was most carefully considered at seve eral committee meetings. Cambridge was also consulted, as they had received a prac- tically identical challenge. We had no only to consider the situation this year, but the whole future of college sport.” Treasurer Jackson of the Oxford Univer- sity Athletic Club said: “I do not wish to say a single syllable that might cause feel- ing; but in addition to the reports from those. whe are thoroughly conversant with college athletics in America, we have clip- pings from American newspapers before us, and it is impossible to reach any other con- clusion than that the status of the amateur American collegiate is not necessarily the same as the standard at Oxford and Cam- bridge. We could not risk meeting athletes of inferior status. This is the main objec- tion, but theré are others. “The Americans would have sixteen or seventeen colleges to choose from. Then, summer training is widely objected to here. But these objections are not vital. The decision was based upon the amateur status. We hope our gcod friends won't think we are afraid to meet them. I may say that if Yale or Harvard challenges Ox- fcrd or Cambridge this year, the challenge will be accepted, though we shall object to both hammer throwing and weight putting. Still we hope we shall some day meet the inter-collegiate association, when the pres- ent odjections are removed, as they will be, for the Americans are sportsmen, gccd felows, and have the same high ideas as ourselves.” The Times and sporting papers, in an- nouncing the decision of Oxford, said in substance that, whether rightly or wrongly, the impression is abrvad that the status of the amateur American leaves much to be_desired. Continuing, the’ Times ‘said: “After the meeting between the New York Athletic Club and the London Athletic Club, the general opinion among university athictes here was that Oxford and Cambridge had better confine their competitions among themselves until they can establish beyond a shadow of a doubt that their opponents were both amateurs and, students in the full sense of the words.” DEFEATED THE VISITOR. Colored Professional Gelfer From - + Shimnecock Hills Beaten, An interesting golf match play was giv- en on the links of the Washington Club at Rosslyn yesterday by Mr. W. F.

He started from the two-minute mark, and after a desperate finish paszed the tape half a length ahead of M. Quimby of San Fran- cisco, a five and. one-half-minute man. Eighty-one men started and forty-four fin- ished. There were sevcral minor accidents, but no one was seriously hurt. On the Cheyy Chase Links.

Detectives Parkins and King of Pittsburg and Warden Butler of the Ohlo peniten- tlary came to this city yesterday to see two prisoners who were arrested by Detec- tives McNamee and Helan on suspi- cion. It was thought that one of them, whose name was given as Edward Perry, was probably “Frenchy” Smith, alias Hen- ry Johnson, who is wanted at Beaver Falls, Pa., on a charge of complicity in a murder committed there last September. The young man arrested with him gave his name as Charles Myers. Perry was not identified. “Frenchy” Smith, alias Henry Johnson, who has also several other aliases, has an interesting criminal regord. Several years ago he figured in a railroad ‘‘hold-up" in Ohio ard was charged with complicity in the killing of a railroad man, He was released on the morning of the 4th of September, and that night he is al- leged to have figured in a “hold up" ‘hear Beaver Falls, in which a passenger was killed. Harry Kemp, is also alleged to have participated in she affair, is in jail. Smith was captured, rnville, Pa., and while he was in jail gvgiting identification a man known as “Texas vielted him.

LOCAL COURTS ALL ADJOURN Regret and Grief Expressed by Fel- low-Attorneys. TO BE BROUGHT HERE Mr. Reginald Fendall died suddenly last night at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York city, from cerebral apoplexy. He went to that city Monday last on business, and the attack which terminated fatally came on unexpectedly. The news was a great shock to his many friends and ac- quaintances in this city, although for somo time past Mr. Fendall has been in poor health and has be2n a sufferer from herv- cus prestration brought on from overwork. Mr. Sterling Galt, a relative of the de- ceased, left last night for New York, and it is expected thai the remains will be brought to this city this evening, when a rangements. will be made for the funeral. Mr. Fendall was born in this city and he spent his life here. He was identified with much of the charitable work of the city ard occupied a prominent place as a law- yer. He was the son of the late Philip R. Fendall, who was at ene time district at- torney, and who was one of the Icading members of the District bar. He was grad- vated from-Columbian University and then entered upon the practice of his profession in this city. In adcition to his professional work he was identified with a number of the charitable institutions of the city, not- ably the Garfield Hospital, the Children’ Hospital and the Washington Orphan Asy- jum. He was at one time president of the | Bar Association of the District, and at the time of his death was a member of the beard of trustees of the Church of the Covenant. Some years ago he erected the Fendall building at the corner of Indiana avenue and 4% street, where his office was located. Mr. Fendall leaves a wife, who 1s the daughter of Mr. M. W. Galt. The mourning for his untimely end among citi- zens here will be eep and widespread. Announced in Court. The several branches of the District Su- preme Court today took appropriate action in respect of the momory cf Mr. Fendall. In Circuit Court No. 1 Mr. R. Ross Perry called the attention of Judge Cole to the passing away of the deceased. “I have no doubt the court has read the announcement of the sudden death last night in the city of New York of Mr. Res Fendall from boyhood. e almost of an age, both lived in i building, grew up together, were friend: our childhood, in cur youth, in our manhood and in the be- ginning of that silvery touch of life which comes to us before we go down into the shadows. I am glad to say that in life and in death we were friends; for the friendship of such a man is an honor as well source of love. the proper occasion now to a and of his It would be im- possible for me to do it, in view of the suddenness of the blow. In view of Mr. Fendall’s position at this bar, in view of the family of lawyers from’ which he sprang and of which he was 2 conspicuous member, in memory of his honored father, now sleeping in his well-earned rest for more than 2 quarter of a century—a man who was most prominent in the old bar, qwho Was district attorney of the United States here with honor and distinction for a long time—it secms to me that it is prop- er for the covrt to take what has nece sarily become the rather unusual step of sacrificing the public business to the pri- ate gricf (1 might almost say, in this in- nee, the public grief), and to adjourn without transacting a of its usual busi- ness, in henor of his memory.”” In granting the motion and directing an adjournment Judge Cole said: were all of us undovstedly very ceked at the very sudden death not rked . Fendall. I d een more sh¢ know when I E ston, and ha had the t cit ever since I have knowing the place. known, been ure of . y widely and I do not think it would be cverdrawing it to say that he was univer: ly loved and respected. He will be great- ly missed, undoubtedly, and 1 think it is a very appropriate mark of respect to his memory that the court should adjourn without transacting any business, and that order will be made.” - In Other Courts, In Cireuit Court No. 2 the announce- ment of the death of Mr. Fendall was made by Mr. Enoch Totten. He spoke briefly. explaining that at a more suitable time the Bar Association would take more ex- tended action. Judge McComas, in reply, spoke feeling- ly, saying that by the death of Mr. Fen- dal) the court, the bar and the community had sustained a deep loss. By order cf Judge McComas the court was adjourned for the day forthwith. Mr. Henry E. Davis, in Criminal Court No. 1, made the suggestion that the pub- le business be suspended, because of the sad incident that had robbed the bar of the District of one of its most respected members. Mr. Davis called attention. to the fact that Mr. Fendall during the great- er part of his life had been a prominent member of the bar, and for several terms president of the Bar Association. His father before him had been a leading at- tcrney of the national capital, at one time holding office’ as United States attorney, sald Mr. Davis. The latter added that he hoped the court would show that it ap- preciated the depth of the loss that had Leen sustained by adjourning immediately. Chief Justice Bingham fully indorsed ali that had been said by Mr. Davis, and an adjournment was taken. > Clause Suspended. The long and short haul clause of the in- terstate commerce as been suspended in favor of railroad lines in the United States between the province of Manitoba and con- tiguous territory, and points along the De- troit and St. Clair rivers, and easterly thereof in Canada, and in that portion of the New England states reached directly by the Grand Trunk railway. This conces- sion was made to favor the railroads of the United States which are brought in compe- fition with tne Canadian Pacific road. > A Pinno Recital. Mrs. Hadden Alexander of New York, a pianist of considerable reputation, who has had the advantage of the best instructors both in this country and in Germany, will give a recital at Rauscher’s next Friday evening. She will present a program that will include the works of MacDowell, Cho- pin, Rubinstein, Schubert, Liszt, Moszkow- ski and others. Mrs. Alexander is here as a delegate to the convention of the D.
