Hayes spurted again In the thir.
teenth mile. finished in l.1S.5l is. but
Immediately relinquished his advan.
tage. He laughed aloud In spite of
the prOdigious strain when Dorando
took another swig Of chianti after re-
gaining the lead.
During the fourteenth mile, run In
1881 As, Dorando's friends shouted.
"Now's the time; leave him." The
Italian quickened HIS pace, but Hayes
also let out notch and the formers
effort was nullifed; Hayes took his
first refreshment during the fifteenth
mile when his trainer held out n piece
of ice. Hayes grasped It. thrust 1t In
to his mouth, and moment later
dropped II into his hand. The AZ.
teenth mile was covered In 1918 3.5
and the sixteenth In 1.35.07 3.5.
Up to the running of the seven.
teenth mile the men continued to re.
tain springiness OF step and reach.
Ing strides. but thereafter their efforts
became noticeably labored. Their
shoulders swayed and sweat streaked
their faces and straining legs. The
seventeenth mile was covered In
1.44.39 rs and the eighteenth mile In
1913. In the nth lap OF the nine.

approval.
The cheering which eliminated in
the frenzied scenes that marked the
finish began as the men strated the
nineteenth mile. which was done in
1916 Is.
In the 'twenty.frst mile Hayes, his
face set with determination. snatched
from his trainers hand nickelied
bottle and pressed It frequently to his
lips. Dorando. his face beginning to
take on u haggard expression, and Its
livid color accentuated by q thin black
mustache. sprayed himself continu.
ously from sponge. The twenty first
mile was done In 2.l0.bS,l.5 and the
twenty.second. In. 2.l7.352.5. On the
second and third laps Of the twenty.
third mile Hayes made determined ef.
forts to take and keep the lead.
He forced Dorando on one occasion
over the little board which lined the
inclosure.. and the Itaiisn lost his
stride, but Dorando obviously had
bulldog courage. He snatched the
lead back each time II was taken from
hin.
Dorando apparently took heart
when he found himself, able to prevent
Hayes from continuing ahead of him
and grinned at his friends as they yell.
ed encouragement.

his strength was ebbing. He Jumped
into the lead for twenty yards or more
then fell quickly back when Dorando
challenged. The latter, appeared
stronger than his adversary. At no
time during the struggle. were the
men separated by more than three
yards. Trained athletes said that 1t
seemed Incredible that international
champions could keep SO closely to-
gether.
The twenty.fourth mile was covered
in 230.3l. Hayes trainers were quick
to note the condition OF their charge
and yelled as he. passed. stay with
him!" Stay with HIM"
All over the garden sounded cries
In which despair and encouragement
were mingled. go on. John. Now or

ran against II. This took place almost
directly In front Of Mr.. Croker's box
on the north side of the garden. Spec.
tators shouted angrily and the path
officials ran to the scene. There was
difference of opinion whether foul
had been committed. The twenty.
fifth mile was run in 2,s6.57l:5.
The spectators were on their feet

screams OF almost crazy enthusiasm.
