Classy Entry List for
Marathon Race
Twenfy-six Distance Runners to
Starr in Century Clubs
Contest
BY Herbert Hauser

Twenty-siX entries have been received
by the Century athletic club for their
great Marathon race which will be run
OF tomorrow morning, starting at $3.50
sharp in front of the Fremont high
school, a three block walk from Mel
rose, the last station on the Oakland
local, and two blocks from the Hay
Waru and San Leandro carline. 1t was
at nrst intended TO have the starting
place at Melrose station, but the COM
mittee, desiring the advantage of hav-
ing the contestants dress where they
would finish, caused the change. 1t
VIII only lengthen the course by about
three blocks. The first half of the
course is along the Hayward carline
and persons desiring to see the race
can see the start and then by taking
the electric cars follow the runners
and have time to get back before the
finish. Owing to the great interest be-
ing taken in distance racing a large
crowd will surely be on hand. The
committee in charge announces that il
1t should rain any time after 5 o'clock
today up to the time of starting the
race Will be postponed until next Sun
allowed in any shape or manner.
The entry list is larger than was
expected and contains the names OF all
the best distance runners in the state
{ The contest is expected to lie between
Cornelius Connolly of the Irish-Ameri-
can athletic club, and Soldier King,
who are great rivals, and considerable
money is being wagered by their re-
spective admirers. Both of these men
are more mature than the other con-
testants and should be able to stand
the grind better. William Howden is
also promising candidate for the
honors, while the Cornell athletic club
claims TO have a dark horse in the
person of Richard Seiffert There are
two high schools boys in the contes,
who expect TO give the other partici-
pants a hard rub-William Maghettt

school prize In the last Dipsea race

BRADLEY IN BAD SHAPE
Principals in Philadelphia Fight
Are Held in Prison

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 24-Fred
Bradley, the Boston heavy weight pu-
gilist, who was seriously injured in a
savage bout at the West End athletic
club here last night. with Al Ixubiak,
known as the Michigan Giant" is
still in critical condition. He is suf-
fering from concussion of the brain
and a possible fracture of the skull.
All the principals in the affair were
arraigned today. Kubiak was commit
ted to the county prison without bail
TO await the outcome of Bradley's in
bail each.
In the fight Bradley was beaten from
the start. He was floored twice in the
third round In the fourth he came
up very weak and Kubiak went at him
furiously. Bradley protected his face,
put was badly punished about the
body. Suddenly Kubiak sent his right
fist flush against his opponents law
and the Bostonian went down in a
heap and was waved to his corner nv
the referee. Later he became uncon-
scious and is still in that condition

gazed in rapt attention at the girl in white, who

1t is to be feared that he did not much of the
church.
Presently Jennings said See that painting of the

picture in the middle of the floor is the interest
ing I've seen for long time
He's landed all right thought Jennings; but
he made comment.
Presently mother and daughter and left the
church. Involuntary the young followed
them until some three blocks from the church the
girl and her mother entered the wide doorway of
two-story Mexican house. 1t similar to other
Mexican houses of the better class, built in the form
of hollow square, with interior patio, filled with
flowers and plants; plain, heavy stone walls the
outer flush with the sidewalk windows high
and opening like DOORS with heavy, curved iron
gratings incosing them, giving the house something
of the appearance of prison.
We'll, there's your birdcage," said Jennings.
Il catch the simie; but what the bars at the
windows for? thought it was perfectly safe down
here now
"Oh, it is. The bars to keep in the doves and
keep out the bears"
At that moment the girl in white appeared at one
of the upper windows, stepped the balcony as far
the iron bars would permit and looked up and
down the street deliberately, not missing Owens and
Jennings in her general survey.
"Good!" exclaimed Jennings, when she retired
into the house again. She's encouraging you. She
knew you followed her into the church and that you
sat and gazed at her while she there and fol-
lowed her home. Of course she could make no sign
of being that you earth while her
mother was with her,
What am l supposed to do next?"
Come here every day evening and hang around
until she comes out and does the vanishing act AS
long she keeps it up, she's encouraging you.

THAT evening the two again sat in the plaza
After awhile Luisa came, accompanied by her
parents and plain looking girl friend with whom she
walked round and round the square. When the
band was playing its last piece Owens and Jennings
passed close to Luisa, and Owens got coquettish
little glance that set his heart to beating ragtime.
