STAR ATHLETE
DIES IN SURF
CHAS. RICHARDSON BROWNS
AT VENTURA
CAUGHT BY UNDERToW, PER-
IsHEs IN SIGHT OF FRIENDS
Struggles to Reach Life Line, but All
His Efforts Are of No Avail.
Prominent In U. S. c.
Affairs

Charles Richardson of Los Angeles,
one of Southern Californias most IA
nous athletes, was drowned at Huen-
eme beach, Ventura, at o'clock yes
terday afternoon. With friends he had
been camping at Hueneme, and while
bathing he was caught in a strong un-
dertow. He was fine swimmer and of
strong physique, but probably was
seized by a cramp.
Richardson struggled to reach the
life line but the undertow carried him
swiftly away from it, and from the
boats that were within fifty feet OF
him. He was drowned before assist
ance could be given him, and the un-
dertow took the body away. At a late
hour last night it had not been recov-
cred, but the beach will be patrolled
until the tide brings it in or it is 9TH
erwise located.

Young Richardson was % years old,
and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. 9. M.
Richardson. lived at Santa Paula. Col
lege and athletic friends in all parts
of California will be greatly shocked
to learn of his death, for he was uni
versally popular. He possessed a Win
ming personality and sense Of honor
that left him with few enemies.
Richardson had made records in track
athletics that had never been ap-
preached in California. He held the
University of Southern California rec
ords in the shot put, hammer throw
and pole vault, and in the recent meet
at Berkeley he won four firsts and one
second prizes-more than any one man
has ever won in the history of coast
athletics. He was considered the best
college batsman on the coast.
"Charlie Richardson was a splendid
fellow and his death is a great loss,
said Coach Harvey Holmes of the Uni
versity of Southern California last
night. "He was a sophomore in the
college of liberal arts, and in his two
years he had attained popularity
never known to be excelled in any col
lege. 1 think 1t is not too much to say
that he was undoubtedly the best liked
man in the university. He was not
only a fine athlete, but was one OF the
best and most thorough students as
well-the best all around man any OF
us ever knew.
Richardson's mother had been at the
beach with him, but left for her home
Tuesday. Harry Cotter of Los An
geles, q classmate, was with Rlcnaro-
son at Hueneme.

not the product of the minds of either
Bryan OF Roosevelt, he said. Some one
in the audience accused LaFollete OF
being a Democrat, but he denied 1t.
He spoke for some time Of the Aldrich-

MARATHON Goes TO HAYES
American Protest Against Dorando is
Allowed by Officials.
ITALIAN HELPED TO THE TAPE
Action OF OmciaIs who Practically
Carried Him 20 the Finish Gives
Race to the second
Man.

LONDON, July A-The American protest
against Dorando for receiving assistance
at the finish Of the Marathon race has
been upheld. This makes John r. Hayes
OF the Irish-Ameroan Athleti club the
winner of this world famous event.
Hefferon, the South African runner, who
finished third, has protested against John
+. Hayes, Irsh-Amertcan Athletic club,
who finished second.
Hefferon protected against Hayes on the
ground that Hayes had been assisted after
coming into the Stadium.
No other person except Hefferon, who had
not entered the Stadium when Hayes fin
ished, could be found TO support this state
ment. J. e Sullivan, the American com
missioner, has protested to Lord DesbOr-
ough, chairman Of the British Olympic
association.
Dorando's time was taken when he was
assisted across the finish line. II was
2:54:46. At twenty minutes before 7 the last
man in the Marathon came walking into
the arena.
Dorando was so exhausted when he was
carried off the track that the officials
thought fit to issue this Official statement:
Dorando, who became very i'll after leav-
ing the track, Is now out OF danger"
italian In bad shape.
As soon as the italian came into view It
was seen that he was in very bad shape.
He tottered brokenly toward the right
when he should have turned to the left to
make the circuit Of two-thirds Of the track
necessary to reach the goal. Several men
jumped in front Of him and with difficulty
pushed him around and got him going in
the right direction. He had been walked
and half tottered for 100 yards along the
cinder path and then swerved, stood still a
moment, and the next went down in a
heap. A crowd of officials and followers
who were cheering him along then sur
rounded him and for a few minutes he
could not be seen. After two or three
minutes the group parted and a great
cheer went up as the Italian, who was
again on his feet staggered on for perhaps
100 yards more. He made a pathetic at
tempt to trot, but this was too much for
him and he agin fell to the ground. The
spectacle was too much like the torturing
Of a human being for many Of the spec
tators.
Stlmulants were administered to the
Italian and as he tottered alcng the track
he was followed by a crowd of attendants,
a pitiable and pathetic exhibition. Cries

him assistance. He ran fairly strong for

Runners from many nations assembled
under the gigantic oak at the top of the
broad emerald lawn, which slopes to the
eastward, with the towering gray battle
ments Of the castle for a background.
Crowds began to assemble along the
Marathon route at an early hour this
morning. The roads were in perfect con-
dition, watering carts and roller brushes
having been busy for many hours along
the entire course. Every cottage fronting
the course had hung out flags. The tropi-
cal sun was considered prejudicial to the
performers. who are not accustomed to
such heat.
The green slopes beneath the walls Of
Windsor castle were thrown open to spec
tators by the kings order and the lawns
were packed as the picked distance run
ners of the world gradually assembled on
the east terrace of the castle.
