The San Francisco call., 1908-07-25

with the team are celebrating the great
victory won by Hayes in the Marathon
race They have forgotten all the
troubles of the last two weeks in this
moment of triumph.
AMERICANS ARE HAPPY
Wasn't it great?" said Manager Hal
pin, who continued: I'VE not only won
the big race of the Olympic games, but
also got third. fourth and ninth places.
and, what is more. our Indian beat the
much lauded Canadian Indian Long
boat. Well, we can forget what has
gone before, although we will always
feel that we have been unfairly
treated"
Hayes, the man who carried off the
race for America, naturally was very
tired tonight. but he gave no signs of
any i'll effects from his long run. Hayes
ran a careful race. He was satisfied to
I9 miles, and then pushed into third
place, keeping behind Hefferon until
his opportunity came on the long level
at Wormwood scrubb, after a hard
climb up hin. When Dorando, Hefferon
and Hayes reached the scrubb, Dorando
was 3lA minutes ahead of Hefferon,
who in turn was 2 y minutes ahead of
Hayes. Both the Italian and the South
African were limping badly, while
,
still strong. When the American
reached the level of the scrubbs,
through which the runners made their
way along cowpaths, he could see the
two leaders only a short distance
ahead Of him. and he felt certain from
their gait that they were about run out.
he therefore increased his speed and
before he was through the scrubbs he
had overtaken the South African and
had made a considerable gain on Do
rando. The times taken at the finish
show how well Hayes succeeded in
making up the distance, for despite the
assistance given the Italian. the Ameri-
can in the mile and a half distance
from the scrubbs to the stadium de-
creased the Italians lead from about
six minutes to less than a minute, and
he was strong, while his opponent was
completely undone. Forshaw, the sec
ond man to finish, who was but four
| seconds and a fraction behind Hef-
feron, was walking about as fresh as
ever soon after finishing.

/ He ran we'll for 90 miles, but had come

! before he reached the stadium, but not
to the same extent.
Welton and Tewanina, the other two
Americans who finished. were too tired
/ TO talk tonight and Morrisey of the
Mercury athletic club. who did not fin
ish would not offer any excuse. 1t is
known, however. that he was not in the
best of condition and there was some
talk of his not starting, but he thought
/ he could get through.
Dorando is a confectioner who resides
