Some Runners Went Ten Miles
and One logged Over
Thirteen.

Jersey ladsN showed their gameness
in many instances during the race, par
ticularly those who ran moro than their
share of the distance after some Of
their teammates had fallen by the way
side.
One of the boys who figured in a
heroic role was Michael Fass, of the
Mohawk team. Fass was stationed at
Menlo Park, awaiting the arrival of
his teammate, McGovern. A passing
runner Informed Fass that the other
Mohawk runner had fallen unconscious
along the road.
Realizing that his stubs honors were
at stake, Fass RAJ back three miles,
snatched the colors from McGovern,
whom he found unable to continue, and
then dashed over the three miles to his
original starting point and continued
five miles more. At the end Of that
stage Tass failed to find a runner I'd
relieve him. It developed that Nc

relay there, had left his post. having

Lost to Baltimore.

The Tigers came into their WI again
yesterday, when they trimmed the
Shelters on the latter's own soil BY the
score of 3 to 2. The task was made a
triie difficult by the fact that Jersey
City sent against Newark Pitcher Earl
Moore. the gent who made the leading
Orioles appear like novices last Mon
day. but Stallings's men outbatted and
outfelded the foe. and, thereby, fin

An Incident at Linden.
George II. Carroll, of Elizabeth, who
had been selected as official relay keep
or at the Linden relay, was one of the
many witnesses to a scene never to be
forgotten at that point. In the crowd
from Elizabeth which had turned out to
sec tho men coming into this point was
a Miss Chaplin, q sister of Lee Chaplin,
who had helped the Elizabeth athletes
In their training. A motorcyclist came
along, and In trying to avoid the crowd
ran down a seedy looking fellow who
apparently had no definite object In
his wanderings. The victim was rolled
along the roadbed and was badly In
jured. Miss Chaplin, who is a profess
sional nurse, ran to the victims aid.
and stripping a light lace-bordered
apron which she carried she tore 1t into
bandages and applied them to the In
juries Of the poor fellow, who was most
thankful to the young woman, who
never left him until she had sent for
the Elizabeth ambulance and had him
conveyed to that institution.
In speaking Of the affair, Mr.. Carroll.
who assisted Miss Chaplin, said: 81
never saw a scene like this n before.
Here was a poor trampish-looking man
with a well-dressed young woman
kneeling in the roadway bathing the
cuts and bruises of a man she had
never seen before. Why. If he had
been a millionaire, he could not have
received any better attention, and all
that the young said. after he
had been taken away in the ambulance
was: HE Is some poor fellow who has
no home, and II I did treat him with
extra kindness, he deserves It." Those
who saw this cheered Miss Chaplin rs
she stood waving the remnants of her
apron after spying the Elizabeth colors
turning the road into Linden.

hearted chaps who at the last moment
failed their teammates and did not
enter the run. Some perhaps had good
excuses l hear that one boy In the
Oranges was threatened with dismissal
by his employer If he remained out a
few hours from his work to make the
run, What do you think of such an
employer? / wonder If he is an Amerl-
can? But forget all this and return to
the lesson. Remember. boys, you gal
liant chaps, who sapped your energies
to win glory, that glory soon passes
away, and also remember that merit
remains with you. Your names may
ever be pointed to with pride by your
| good old mothers and your care-taklng
fathers in years to come. Said one
father to me this morning: Proud I
am of my boy. He does not drink or
smoke, and this morning when he got
up after finishing that ten-mile race
which he had to do because his relay
mate failed to show up. he said:
Father. I could do the same thing
over today I certainly felt proud to
hear him say that" said the proud
father as he praised THE EVENING
STAR for conducting this affair. You
ave one noble work boys. Stick to-
gether and out of your seven clubs
make New Jersey athletes respect you.
Keep away from Joining out-of-town
clubs. You have 100 and more stout
hearted members here. Stick and stick
again. and remember this, o are the
cream of clean sports in this part of
! the country. for never before in anna
teur ranks has there been such an af-
fair as the one OF yesterday conducted.
You did wen every one of you. and all

Is yours.
