RISE OF BONHAG.
The Leading Long-Distance Runner
Of America.

Tho rise of George v. Bonhag to ath-
letic greatness has been the result of hard
work and careful study. Many athletes
are termed great" but few deserve it.
To be great athlete, a man must be able
to do a record in his speciality, and by his
wonderful four-mile record run. in which
he eclipsed Willie Days long-standing
American record. Bonhag has justly earn
ed the title Of great
While Bonhag ran some slashing races
before that time, he may be truly said to
have learned to run at the Olympic games
at Athens last spring. Before that time
the crack indoor runner. like most Ameri-
can distance men. depended upon his fin
ish rather than running "all the way" to
win his races. After seeing Lieut.. Haw-
trey and other crack Englishmen run at
Athens, Bonhag figured out that their
ability lay in being able to make the race
from start to finish, and in conversation
Just after the big meet said:
when you see Bonhag in race after
this you will see him racing in the lead
right from the start, and not finishing
up with any grand-stand sprint Bonhag
has followed up the first part of his pro-
gram, but he has retained the sprint!ng
finish In spite of the fact that he goes
along at a merciless clip in the early
stages of the race.
Since Athens every distance race in
which Bonhag has started has been a
sizzler right from the gun. In going four
or five miles he passes the two-mile post
in ten minutes. If the distance Is two
miles. Bonhag's rivals may expect to LEG
it, the first mile around 4:45 II they want
to be taken in the same picture with the
champion at that point.
With his new policy. Bonhag has dis
posed of the best men over here with
ease. The only man to give him a race
was Tommy Longboat. the Five Nations
Indian. Frank Nebrich beat the Irish
American boy at the national cross-coun-
try championships but 1t was clearly an
off day" for Bonhag. He was beaten by
his inability to play his own game and
make the running. Nebrch led from start
to finish. and administered to Bonhag the
only real setback the latter has known
since Athens

1t may be stated that exhibitions of

one of the recognized masters of the
game, who frequently tour the country

Marshall, foremost American player,
has done the same. The handicap

lest period ''but there is one period that
has been neglected. which to us old fell
lows recalls many thrilling incidents.
Il refer principally to the period be-
tween 1871 to 1873, when the White Lot
was a network of playing diamonds. on
which teams of every description could
be found playing the games for keeps.
The colored clubs were very numerous in
that period and their matches. especially
between a team representing the White
Lot and others from the various sections,
always drew big crowds and plenty of
excitement.
THE principal diamond of the old
grounds was the one made famous by the
Nationals. and later by that clever junior
organization, the Creightons, and the
rivalry over this ground was the cause
of many a small-siZed riot between the
adherents of the Creightons and the lead
ing colored team, the MOnumentals. 1t
Will be well TO remember tndl
those years the colored people lived in
great numbers in the squares abutting on
the White Lot, especially on that part to
the east, and known as Murder Bay, a
section bounded by Ohio avenue, 10Th
and 18th streets, with the canal on the
south, and hence there was always big
crowd of negroes loafing around the
grounds.
IF it happened that the Creightons and
Monumentals had games scheduled for
the same day. ii always developed into a
rough and tumble fight between the ad-
