SHARKEY AND WIFE 'ILL TO IMUff NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Thomas J. Sharkey begs to announce that he and his wife are about to become recon ciled. Mr. Sharkey is a gentleman who ac quired distinction through the momen tum with which he was able to propel his closed hands against the persons of sundry other gentlemen. Subse quent to that attainment he became host at a ptace of rendezvous on East Fourteenth street, making a specialty of beverages. Members of Mr. Sharkey’s clubs were pained to learn that Mr. Sharkey’s wife had caused him to be served with pa pers in a suit for separation, alleging treatment unbecoming in one who oc cupied Mr. Sharkey’s station. It was whispered that inasmuch as Mr. Sharkey’s profits approximate the sum of $l5O daily, Mrs. Sharkey would urge upon the court the advisability of conceding her an alimony of S2OO week ly pendinsr the final disposition of the matter at issue. friends who called to commiserate with Mr. Sharkey were relieved, how ever, to perceive that Mr. Sharkey was preserving his customary sunny loqua city. and a deduction that the status quo had been ameliorated was support ed by the following observations from the genial host: “Take it from me. bo, I se»/ my law yer. and it’s going to be all to the mus tard between her and I. Them family bust-ups will happen now and then. She flew the coop, being peeved, but don’t believe I ever handed her a bunch of fives. Nit! We’ll be reconciled all right, all right. It’s on the house, boys: what’s everybody’s ?” ENGLAND PLANS KIRWIN NEXT OLYMPIC MEET LONDON, Aug. 2.—England has de termined to wrest the athletic suprema cy of the world from the United States, and a movement is now in full swing to have the British empire represented by a team of the finest and best trained athletes at the Olympic games in Ber lin in 1916. . A resolution adopted by the Athletic Advisory club last night for raising a fund of $125,000 to be devoted to the training of athletes for the next Olym piad met with enthusiastic approval throughout all English sporting circles today, and the amount will easily be doubled or trebled if it Is deemed nec essary. OU : ' parks for training purposes are k in on the committee, and names promising athletes are being received in every mail. One comes from the London county council, which ten ders the use of all the city parks for training purposes, y Lord Desbrough, who presided at last night's meeting of the Advisory club, declared today that the first essential to success was a plan whereby the pick of the athletes of the whole empire would compete as a British team in stead of being split up into colonial teams whose victories added nothing to a national total, as was the case at Stockholm. MIKE MURPHY, VETERAN TRAINER. MAY RETIRE NEW YORK, Aug. 2. —Mike Mur phey. veteran trainer of American ath letes and who handled the Yankees in the Olympic games, is hearing the call of retirement and from an authorita tive source it was learned today that he will quit as a teacher. Mike is far from strong and the strain on his vitality has been too great. it is an old story, of course, that he is to retire, but it comes this time backed by the hint that another form of activity has made its appeal "to him, one that would be profitable and wouldi not be of such a tiring order. The new enterprise that is being talked of for Mike will be one that will keep him very much in the public eye should he finally decide to undertake it, and. while not exactly athletics, is akin to that sort of work. “If It’s at Hartman’s, It’s Correct” August Cut Prices Straw Hats J 4 Price I $3.50 Oxfords, now. .$2.95 $4.00 Oxfords, now. .$3.15 $5.00 Oxfords, now. .$3.85 $6.00 Oxfords, now. $4.35 | UNDERWEAR PRICES.
