Willie Day has settled down to get him
self in fine shape for his great three-mile
record race that is to take place on May 30,
at the New Jersey A.. g. game. The Ath-
letic Committee tried hard to get Connect
or Orion to run the five-mile champion of
America, but could not succeed. Conneff
has retired. and it is doubtful if the little
Irish wonder will ever be seen on the
track again. Orion was very anxious to
meet Day, but his trainers would not allow
him to enter such a long race, as he is train
ing for the half and mile at the In
tercollegiate championship -meetins--at

Still, he is being handled by one of the most
expert trainers in the country, and many of
the boys think he is playing a very foxy
trick on Day-that is, be hopes to. Some
say that on the quiet Orton has been going
over O mile. and that when the clerk calls
the names off on May 80, Day will find
Orion by his side ready to give him the race
of his life. That Orion can go the distance
every one must admit that saw how easily
he won the two-mile steeplschase at the last
