Latest mail adyices from London

Pietro Dorando the Italian, who was
disqualified in the Marathon race.

the real Marathon prize won by Joan
Hayes. of the lrish.American A. -.
OF New York
This move OF course. will be an
other slap in the face for athletic
America. as the funds for the pur-
chase OF the counterfeit Marathon
prize will be officially solicited by the
British Amateur Athletic association

cup from the Queen OF England, Do

Eddie wiIlett is now the lead

Eddie WlIlett is now the lead
ina pitcher Of the American
league, having won II games and
lost but four this season, to Wild
Biil's 10 and four.
Against the best pitchers of tho
American league-it has been his
fate TO oppose them in a large share
of his appearances in the box-Wil-
lett has simply blossomed out into full
bloom as the brightest posy OF the lot.
The underhand curve which he relies
on as his chief stock in trade Is
tremendously puzzling thing. His con
troll is improved 10 such an extent
that he Is now regarded as a very
steady singer. His weakness with
men on bases has yielded to the Wig
