Dorando Pietri and Johnny Hayes,
who are 20 meet in the %rerunning of the
recent Olympic Marathon race at Madi-
night, met face to face yesterday after
noon at the Hoffman House, New York,
for the first time. Although both were
handicapped by not being able to speak
the others language, the two famous
little runners greeted each other warm
ly and shook hands in a most friendly
manner
The question of judges was the first
brought up, and Dorando chose Chew
alier c. Barsotti, while Mike Murphy
was selected by the American. Al
Copeland will be in charge of the scor-
Ing, with the italian represented by T.

be his physician. Durando's attendants
will be his brother and Il. Bagni, and
he will have two physicians, Drs. Ras-
tell and Right.

allegiance, the American boy proposing
for this important position Mayor Nc

WESTON BEATS BLAIR IN
CLOSE POOL MATCH.

Charles Weston, the cowboy poo
champion, again defeated Harold Blair
of this city, In a pool match last night
at the Elite parlors, this time the score
reading 125 to 1903. The match was
played on an eight-cornered table, de-
signed by Thomas Callahan, of this
city. 1t makes a pretty game on this
new-fangled table, more difficult by
far than on the rectangular green, but
as Weston was entirely unfamiliar with
the angles the long runs which the
crowd expected from a player of his
calibre we're not forthcoming.
Blair played a pretty game. At one
stage he led, 81 points to 95. coming
from the real by getting two lbs and a
IA in three frames, but the cowboy
finished with a flash of brilliancy and
reached a total of 1875, while Blair pock-
eted only six more balls. The men
will play again this afternoon N to-
night.

The boys were stationed all along,

in the run yesterday and today was
proud in the knowledge that he was a
link in that human chain, stretching
from the nations metropolis to the
national capital. with so important a
duty as the carrying of a message to
the President.
The Newark boys covered the dis
lance between the starting point In
this city and Elizabeth in exactly %
minutes, pretty good time for youths
ranging between IL and IS years of
age. The message was handed to Eu-
gene Barring, of Newark, at 4:49 yes
terday afternoon by Arthur Stahman,
of the Brooklyn Central Y. M. C. A.,
who ran the last relay from New York.
From Darling the tube, containing
the message, went through eighty-four
hands, Nelson Baldwin being the last
local runner to handle the missive.
Baldwin gave the message to Isaac
Logrenn, Of the Elizabeth Y. M. c. A,
at 5:15. From that point about sixty
Elizabeth boys transported the tube as
far as Plainfield, some of the runners
covering W or more relays, owing to
a scarcity of messengers.
The message was originally scheduled
to reach the President tonight, but
word was received today from the
Washington committee that it will
probably not be delivered before Mon
day. The committee decided that it
would. be unwise to run the boys at a
late hour at night over the dark and
uncertain roads between Elkridge and
Laurel, a stretch of wilderness be-
tween Baltimore and. Washington.
Consequently, the tube will be held
over night at a point nearest Washing
ton reached at q reasonable hour, and
Monday it will be rushed as quickly as
possible to the White House, where the
President will be awaiting 1t.

PATSY kL|NE'S
PUPILS Shine At
FOX|NG GAME

Each one of Patsy Kline's pupils who
started in the foxing show staged at
the Kline gymnasium last night made
good with a vengeance, and a large
number of lovers of the foxing game
enjoyed the sport immensely. In
the throng about the padded circle
could be noticed many prominent peo-
pie. OF course, Patsy Kline was the
bright particular star Of the evening,
the coming champion closing the show
by putting on a three-round sketch
with Eddie Connolly, a well-known
Newark boy. Connolly towers above
Kline like the Eiffel tower above a tele-
graph pole, and is pounds heavier. but
Kline evidently believes that the bigger
they are the harder they fall. How
ever. Connolly did not fall. and made
a good showing against the little New
ark demon. Patsy excelied in the in
fighting and landed many cruel thrusts
on the big fellows body.
The first foXers to enter the arena
We're Kid Kelly and Kid Herman. Kelly
had a shade at the outset of the dis
pute. but when the bell sounded for the
finish of the third round Herman had
140 pounds of steam IN and was going
fast. Next appeared Joe Cans and Joe
Pipe. The CROWD took a good look at
Cans. out found that he was not the
present Baltimore hotel proprietor. He
proved to be a long, lean and lanky
fellow with a reach like a giraffe and
a kick like a chicken. His actions were
the hit of the bill. He cut up in such
style in an effort to LAND blows that
would not punt a den in a green Kelly
that it was ludicrous. Pipe had a pipe,
although he is a much smaller boy.

The rae had a rather sensational fin
ish when Bowies, the colored runner OF
the Newark High School, collapsed

The course, which was laid out in East
Orange, was a difficult one. The start was
made from the East Orange Athletic Field,
formerly known as the Orange Oval. and
the runners went along the railroad track
to the Boulevard. After crossing the
Boulevard to Park avenue, the runners
went across the fields to Columbia School,

Hood River Season Opens.

The strawberry season for the year
1905 will soon be on in full swing
says the Hood River Newsletter. A
few more warm days and crates will
come in by the thousands daily.
There has not been a better straw
berry season for many years. The
berries are of good size and of extra
fine flavor. The frost did absolutely
no damage to the fruit this year. and
the yield will be extra large, consid-
ering the acreage.
Indians from the several reserva-
tions have arrived in large numbers
to harvest the crop, and it is believed
that there will be plenty of pickers
aud packers this season to care prop
erly for the berries.
The Davidson Fruit company and
the Hood River Fruit Growers union
have practically enough orders on
hand to consume the entire output.
Berries have been poor in California
this year and the dealers have not
been stocking up very heavy, and for
this reason people are good and hun

is always the best on the markets.

SOME REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES -PH|LANDER KNOX

Washington, June 6.-Barely over
five feet in height, Philander Chase
Knox, senator from Pennsylvania
and former attorney general Of the
United States, is, physically speaking
the most dimunitive candidate for
the presidency that the country has
ever seen. But short as he is in stat
ure, he is long in intellect.
There are other superlative adjec-
tives that might be applied. For in
stance, he is the richest Of all the re-
publican candidates. the dresiest, the
most reserved and the sportiest. He
owns some of the best blooded horses
in America. He has earned the big
gest fees for defending corporations
and he was the first attorney general
to find and make use of an effective
weapon to prosecute them. He is
also the baldest of all the candidates
and the only one that is smooth shay
en-.
Knox likes the company OF young
men. At his house almost every eve-
ming there is a pinochle or billiard
game in progress in which the sena-
tor and some youngsters OF his ac-
quaintance are the participants.
When he finds a young man display
ing marked ability in any line of
work, he is very apt to extend a help
ing hand. II was thus that Milton
d. Purdy. sometimes referred to as
as the trust buster" of the admins
tration, came into notice, Knox met
him when in Minnesota In connection
with the Northern Securities case,
when Purdy had just begun to climb
the legal ladder. Knox was attracted
to him and his work, and when the
law was passed authorizing the de-
partment of justice to employ special
assistant attorneys general he sent
for Purdy and gave him one of the
jobs. That Purdy has made good is a
tribute to Knox's discriminating judg-
ment of men.
Knox is sensitive. Some years ago
he entered at the New York horse
show a pair of blooded horses that
had pedigrees reaching back to the
Dark Ages, and which to his mind, as
an expert was the finest matched
team of trotting horses in America.
The prizes, however, went to horses
of New York's social favorites and
Knox's pair received no mention He
has never exhibited there since
Expelled From College.
He owes his prominence partly to
the fact that he was once expelled
from the West Virginia University
for a boyish prank. One Of the rules
of the faculty was that no students
should attend theatricals. One day
a company playing East Lynne"
came along and Knox, together with
about 90 fellow students, decided to
see the performance. One of the pro-
fessors, sent to take the names of the
offenders, reported them, and all
were sentenced to expulsion. Eigh-
