O. i 1 PrtnB I Wllklns SWIMMERS C0MTNO TO THE FRONT Many Baeee frhedaled and Good Men ' ' Belaaj Developed. NBWTOBK, June (.-Judging from the number of long distance swimming races - which are being scheduled by varloua athletic clubs of the east and west there tt concerted attempt being made to de lop swimmers capable of going a long Hstanee, a feature In which tha Amertmn aquatic experts have been weak In the past, in oraer to encourage this class of racing there will be aeveral so-called Mara thon races during the coming outdoor sea son. The object originally aimed at In establishing the Marathon swim was to provide an aquatic teat aa nearly equal s possible to the land event, and, aa no better means of comparison than "time" could be found. It was decided to pick courses which It would take the best swimmers from two and a half to three hour to cover, such being the approximate average time of a twenty-flve-mlle running race. Upon thla basis the dead water courses are from four to Ave miles in length, while the current or tidal water ones, are generally longer. It la likely that the first aquatlo Mara thon thla season wUl be held In the east Th plans for It were formulated last fall by the New Tork Athletlo club, it Is to be held Jointly by the New Tork am..i club and the Larchmont Yacht club, prob acy on August i, from the boathouae on Travers Island to the pier of the Larch mont club. The distance, aa the con testants will have to swim It. Is about four and one-half miles, but aa the race will be started on the turn of the tide It hould be .ftqual to about four miles. It 14 proposed to aak the Amateur Athletic Union to make thla event a national cham pionship, and as Handy, Oeessllng and I w stack, the three westerners who made the best time In the Bt Louis and Chi-! sago racea of 1908, have promised to be a hand, this Marathon should be na tional In scope aa well aa In name. ' The westerners have requested that the date be made August t, so as not to conflict with other Important water meets, and the committee will doubtless grant the re Quest If the plana of . the promoters go through, besides the regular Amateur Ath- ww vuiuu ie meaeis io nrst, second and third, there will be handsome trophloa for 11 who finish within a given time limit, and thla limit will be made easy enough te encourage all comers. The second Marathon Is scheduled to take (Mace In Lake Michigan under the auspices f the Chicago Athletlo club on Auguat 17. The competitors will be aterted from the Chicago Tacht club and the finish line will be placed before the South Shore Country club. The distance Is eight miles, and it U thought that thla wlU deter many en trants who would tackle four or nve-mlle swims. First, to see how popular such a long race Is with the swimmers, and next to And put how the men stand the atraln. On the laat day of Auguat .the Illinois Athletlo club of Chicago runa a five-mile endurance teat from tha City crib to the Columbia Tacht club, and aeveral promi nent easterners have been tnvtud to corn Beta. A delegation of New Tn.k - --- - VWUU- mora will go. and It la expected that Bos. ton, Philadelphia and 8t Louie will also end representatives. The Barry Beach Swimming club, another Chicago organi sation, will hold another distance race September T. The chosen course la from the Crib to Barry Beach, a good four and a Quarter mltoa oa a still day, but apt to be longer In stormy weather. Last year whea the club held Its raoe there waa a gale Mowing down the course and It cut the distance to Just about half; Handy, the winner, finishing In a little over an hour. The date for the famous ten-mile Mara thon awltn of the Missouri Athletic elub, which Is held yearly In the Mississippi river, from the Chain Rocks to the Eada Rrldge, la still In doubt. Despite the pro hibitive name of the 'race, this Marathon la not equal to a four-mile swim In still water. Goessllng covered the ten miles In 1:41 last year, which ahowa how fast the current runs. It seems now that thla year's race will be of national Interest. Its progress may be viewed by President Roosevelt, aa a strong movement Is afoot to havs the race postponed until the presi dent's western tour and his visit to St. Ixmls. Consequently the race will not likely be held until the first week In Oc tober, aa the president has announced that he will be at St Louis about October 1. BOY WONDER WITH THE WEIGHTS Lee J. Talbot of MercersbareT Makes Many Jlew Records. PHILADELPHIA, June 8. The greatest athlete developed within the last ten years Is Lee J. Talbot, the young Mercersburg academy weight thrower, who, only II year of age, has already shattered the world's twelve-pound hammer record five tlmea, aet new world's acholaatlo figures for the twelve-pound shot and defeated the best college men of the east and west In throwing ths sixteen-pound hammer, the standard for college and amateur compe tition. His .mark for the latter event la 168 feet. , Talbot stands six feet four Inchea and welgha HO pounds. He Is finely propor tioned, with massive broad shoulders and a deep chest His legs, unlike those of most tall men, are well proportioned and muscular. This Is Talbot's first year at Mercersburg, he having previously at tended the Manual Training school of Kan sas City. Next fall Talbot will enter the agricultural course at Cornell university and the Ithacana will then have a weight thrower who Is almost sure of two first places, even at the present time. In this event Cornell has previously been con sidered weak. Talbot's greatest record for the twelve pound hammer was made a fortnight ago, when he tossed the missile 205 feet 1W4 Inches in the middle states Interscholastic championships. The young giant first at tracted notice last year when In the west ern championships he threw the twelve pound hammer 186 feet EH Inches. In the first Indoor meet during the winter season in Philadelphia Talbot threw the twelve pound shot 63 feet 24 Inches, slightly bet ter than the world's record of Rose. He was, however, denied the world' record on a technicality. At Princeton, In the In terscholastic meet, the Mercersburg star made his first world's record, throwing the twelve-pound hammer 190 feet 9 Inches. This was far better than any record, In Penn't relay meet Talbot tossed the sixteen-pound missile 153 feet Ett Inches, winning the event and beating Horr of Syracuse, Intercollegiate champion, and many of the stars of the east and west. He also took third place In (the discus, an event at which he was unfamiliar, and third place In the sixteen-pound shot put. The next essay of the young giant came In the Tale Interscholastic games. He threw the twelve-pound hammer 193 feet, better ing his own record, and he also Won the ahot put with nearly fifty feet Today Mercersburg will send Its track squad to Chicago to compete for the western cham pionships and the giant weight thrower will have another opportunity to measure strength with hi former rivals. . . CHAMPION EG AN TO TRY AGAIN National Antitir Golf Leader 'Will Compete. ' NEW YORK, June 8. Chandler Egan, national amateur golf champion of 1904 and 1906, will again try for that honor this year. The young Harvard graduate said last fall that the Englewood tournament In which he waa put out of the running by George Lyon, the veteran Canadian golfer, waa his last try for national honors, aa he Intended In future to devote his time to business. But then the medal play for the qualifying round starts at the Euclid Country club In Cleveland on July I, Egan will be there with the rest of the strong Chicago contingent. Egan, Judging from the form he Is displaying this spring, has succeeded In "straightening out" his usu ally long drive. Last year In nearly every Important match In wfllch he played, Egan showed wlldness In hla driving and only his remarkable ability to play out of dif ficulties saved him. But this year, In ad dition to getting the long distance, Egan la driving the ball straight down the course. Chandler Egan, Walter F. Egan and Ned Sawyer, the latter the winner of last year's western amateur championship, will form the nucleus of the team representing the Western Oolf association In the contest for the Olympic cup trophy, which will be the curtain raiser for the amateur champion ship. B0NHAO LAYS OUT BIG PROGRAM Will Vndertake to Set New Marks for All Distances. NEW TORK, June 8. George V. Bonhag, America' champion distance runner and conqueror of Tom Longboat, the Indian, haa started on an outdoor campaign which may carry him through the season. Though Bonhag Is extremely modesC In his expecta tions, hla friends are enthuslastlo over the great two-mtler' prospects. Taking all things Into consideration, tt Is entirely pos sible that Bonhag may set up some Ameri can records this summer. Granting that Bonhag attain the form that enabled him to smash all the Indoor records last winter, he will certainly have a chance at all- the standing records be tween two and five miles. Here are the marks that Bonhag friend hope to see him play havoc with this summer; Two-mile, :Z1, Alexander' Grant Two and one-quarter miles. 10:624. W. D. Day. Two and one-nair miles, 12:10, w, D.

POTTAWATTAMIE HEAP BIO INJUN Jralpa the Doaglaa Boys ta tlade Fasbloa After Lea din a Them lata m Fatal Aaibaab. Nine picked brave from the tribe of the Pottawattamles across the river swooped down on the CHIT Dwellers Saturday after noon at Diets park and took the scalps of Colonel Ryder's huskies. The contest was fraught with threats of bloodshed, but by careful management Injuries were pre vented and the final score waa 8 to 6 In favor of the tribe from over the Big Muddy. The contest waa witnessed by a fair alsed crowd, the number being di minished by the bad weather. The Cliff Dwellers started out like a Kan sas whirlwind, but could not keep up the pace. In the second Inning four of Colonel Ryder's proteges connected with the plate, and the lead gained In thla Inning waa held until the fifth, when the real carnage be gan. The visitors up to this time had actod as If they were sfrald of Prlmeau's curve, but they lost their stage fright In this ln Ing and the things they did were many and blood-curdling. After filling the bases Rod well sent a nice' high one to center field and Frank Mahoney tried to sit on It. He missed a few feet, and the final result was that three of the Indians sauntered past the catcher before the umpire called three outs. The same thing In a little dif ferent form was repeated In the seventh, and then the locals knew it was no use. In the last Inning the Cliff Dwellers went down one-two-three and the stuff was clear off. Owing to a previous engagement Mayor McCrea, who was to assist Mayor Dahlman as umpire, could not witness the game. He sent Mr, Battey as a substitute, and Mayor Dahlman modestly declined to appear on the diamond without hi colleague from over the river. He deputized J. II. Olass man to act In hla place. Classman man aged to avoid the crowd by making a hur ried exit after the game was over. The score: . CLIFTDWtnj.ERS. POTTA WATT AMIES. AB.R.H.O.E. AH.H H O B.

Wyland acted as If he had seen a base ball somewhere before. Ford and Good both tried to nab an easy one, with the usual result. Neither was hurt, however. Frank Mahoney almost repeated hla rec ord of last year when he muffed six easy flies in succession. Prlmeau had 'em going the first half of the game, but after they had solved his curves It was all off. The soprano chorus, led by Misses Blanche Zlmman and Grace Berger did good work for the Cllffdwellers. Tracey got a bad one over the heart, and when he refused to go out the soprano chorus voted he was such a dear. Colonel Ryder refused to talk after the game, but from the way he looked some thing may be expected at the return game, to be played In Council Bluffs. After putting Glassman In aa his sub stitute as umpire, Mayor Dahlman amused himself by sitting on the porch of the clubhouse and roasting tils substitute. Tommy Toy had his batting eye with htm the first part of the game and lined out a hot one to short. Owing to the graceful way he circled first base the offi cial scorer allowed htm a two-bagger. HILLS LAY OUT HARRXMAN TEAM Fierce Game on Maddy Grounds Goes to the Bnrllncton. The traffic department of the Hill and the Harrlman Interests lined up at Council Bluff on Saturday afternoon In a contest resulting In the defeat of the Harrlman bunch with a score of 8 to 4. The grounds were In a deplorable condi tion, owing to the recont ralna, and the players rapidly assumed the appearance of a grading outfit. The features of the game were a triple play made by the Union Pacifies, a double play by . Williams un assisted and the umpiring of Mr. Gordy, which was excellent. Score BURLINGTON'S. AB. R. II. PO.

Dick Burke of the Denver club slipped through Omaha yesterday afternoon on hla way to Btoux City, where he met Man ager Eddie Wheeler In a conference which resulted disastrously for three Denver pitchers, Engle. Talge and Wright Engle ha been a valuable pitching Inflclder, but has failed to get Into form this year and has been sent to Little Rock to thaw out although he has not been released. Paige will be sent to Charlestown, W. Va., where It la expected the climate will Improve hla ability, while Wright Is released uncon ditionally. When tm "Teddy Bears" appear In Omaha Sunday Rodebaugh, a new twlrler, brought In from St. Taul, will appear In a Denver uniform and probably will pitch the Sunday game here. He Is given credit for being one of the fastest In the Ameri can association. Burke says De Molnos ha no business in first placo and that It Is the result of a lot of "bullhead luck" against outside team that play on the "two by four ground at the Iowa capi tal." He says the real fight la between Omaha, Denver and Lincoln and that the next two or three week of playing will put ome kink In the Champion. "Omaha ought to be a hard contender for the flag, for It ha a good team all round and the best bunch of pitcher In in league," said Burke. Charley Dexter, manager of De Moines, agrees with Burke's Judgmsnt of Omaha. "There isn't any reason why Omaha should not be at the top," Dexter said. "It ha the strongest team, all thing con sidered, In the league, and ought to win more game than It doe. It will win them, too, when the player get settled down and more accustomed to each other." Dexter said Catcher Shannon had been ent to Minneapolis for keeps and that In all probability Babe Towne would appear In a Des Moines uniform once more very oon, a soon. In fact, as the big one Is able to get back In the gamo. DAVID CITY MERCHANTS WIN Entire Town Tarns Oat to See Defeat of County Officials. DAVID CITY, Neb., June 8. (Special.)

SHRUBB IS A HEAVY MEAT EATER Champion Long Distance Banner Ex plodea One Theory. NEW TORK, June 8. Alfred Shrubb, the world' champion distance runner, dropped a bomb In the midst of Tale' flesh ab stainer. The fleet and untiring English man haa exploded all their theories about vegetarianism being essential to endurance test. Shrubb eat meat three time a day. Just before Shrubb arrived In Now Tork, Prof Irving Fisher of Tale had an article in the Tale Medical Journal on "The Influence of Flesh Eating on En durance." It was a strong argument for flesh abstinence and told of tests made at New Haven. Endurance tests were made on forty-nine person, representing two contrasted type athlete accustomed to a. full flesh dietary and athlutes accus tomed to a non-flesh dietary. There was a group also Including sedentary persons accustomed to a low-proteld and non flesh dietary. The experiment proved that the non flesh eaters had far greater endurance than those . who are accustomed to the ordinary American diet. In the absence of any exact mechanical method of measur ing endurance, three simple endurance tests were employed first, holding the arm horlson tally a long a possible; sec ond, deep knee bending; third, leg raising, with the subject lying on hla back. Only two of the fifteen flesh eater succeeded In holding their arm. out over a quarter of an hour, whereas twenty-two of the thirty-two abstainer surpassed that limit. None of the flesh eaters reached half an hour, but fifteen pf the thirty-two ab stainers exceeded that limit. Of these nine exceeded an hour, four exceeded two hours and one exceeded three hours. In tho other tests the flesh eaters were defeated In about the same proportion. Then came Shrubb. Thla little runner haa been the marvel of the athletlo world. There aeema to be no limit to hla endur ance. In fact, he 1 the finest example of endurance In the world. It Is doubt ful If Longboat could keep up to Shrubb' pace, and Longboat Is not an abstainer. Shrubb waa asked what he ate When in training. "Well," said he, "I eat eggs and a chop for breakfast. About noon I have a mut ton dinner, and for supper I usually eat fish." Shrubb has covered ten mile In about the time It take a New Tork sub way train to run from the Battery to Klngsbridge. SORE ON THE SPIT BALL ARTIST Fielder Joan Bays the Fad Should Be Abolished. NEW TORK, June 8-F1elder Jones wanta the "spit ball" abolished. Ha aaya: "Two years ago, when I made my first kick against the 'spit ball,' Chesbro and Howell were practically the only 'spit ball' pitch ers. Now, in the American league, Chicago has Walsh and Bmlth; Cleveland haa Lieb hardt, Berger and Khoadea; Philadelphia has Dygert: New Tork has Orth and Brockett; Boston has Winter and Prultt; Detroit has Mullln and Wlllett. and St. Louis has Howell and Morgan. By another year there may be twice as many and it would be no surprise to see all the pitchers within a few years using this delivery, which injures the game. Now la the time to act. Let the league Instruct Its um pires to call a ball every time a pitcher uses saliva and thla delivery will be killed In short order. Then we will aee a atop put to star pitchers being made of twlrter who have nothing but plenty of moisture." Goich Throws rillaur. FORT DODGE, la., June 8.-(Speclal Tel tgram.)
