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.

present form.

CLIFF DWELLERS ARE DOW
Colonel Ryder't Pets Meet with Sad
Disaster on Diamond.
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:

Notes of the Game.
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.

The grounds were In a deplorable condi

ENGLE, PAIGE AND WRIGHT GO
Three) Dearer Pitchers Tarned Oat by
Barke aad Wheeler.
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.)
A week ago the county official challenged
the merchants of David City to a game of
ball. The game was played Friday after

forms with 'white shirts, and officials, in
their white uniforms, gathered at 2:80 for
the parade to the ball park, headed by
the chief of police, Robert Latimer, and
Mayor Ross; next, the city council, band,
merchants, with all kinds of banners, then
tho officials, with banners; then the women
deputies, wives and daughters of tho of
ficials, with the crowd falling In line. It
waa the largest crowd that has made Its
appearance at the ball park. The grand
stand was packed and hundreds of people
lined the Held to see this game. All busi
ness houses were closed.
The game was called with the merchants
at the bat who were Dee, Jordan Ptacek,
Lorenes, Bhlamek, Eller, Harper, Bahr and
Zollinger. The official were Holland,

Batteries: Merchants, Dee, Lorene and
Ptacek; officials, McGaflln and Holland.
Home run: Ptacek.
The proceeds, which amounted to tlOtSO,
will go to the band.
Both teams worked hard for what they
got.
The real estate men have challenged the
winners.
Hmspka was not quite tall enough to
hit the ball.
Sheriff West, even If he Is old, ran two
bases without stopping.
Harper caught a fly In one hand It was
coming ao fast that It stuck; he couldn't
drop It.
McGaffln and Holland made a right good
baftery,. but Holland couldn't throw the
ball after he caught It. s

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."
