BEST DISTANCE
RUNNER
TOM Eek GIVES OUT SOME DOPE
AFTE DORANDO DEFEATS
JOHN G., HAYES IN 26-MilE
RACE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-With the
Hayes-Dorando Marathon match out
of the way and the much-mooted ques-
ton OF supremacy as runner between
the two still unsettled. there comes
the question OF whether America can
produce a man to beat either Of them.
This is always the way OF It. When
fellow wins a hard race the public
begins to Immediately look about for
some one to get his honors.
Dorando, the Italian, defeated Hayes,
the American. at Madison Square gar
den last night before 10000 persons.
Dorando ran the course OF 26 miles
and two laps in 2:44:20 rs. Hayes.
who was beaten by more than third
OF a lap, covered the course In
2:45:O5 1-5. Dorando was in fine
shape. but Hayes was near physical
collapse. The time Is new worlds
record for indoor run. The time OF
the Marathon race, in England. was
2: 56:1 20.
There was a big bunch Of rail birds
at the garden last night looking over
the excellent track and talking OF
Hayes and Dorando during Its pro
gress. Each runner had his support
ers. but when IL came TO picking q
man who could beat the winner II
WAS Tom Eck's turn. Eek, be /;
known. Is one OF the best trainers OF
distance men In America.
I'm not knocking" said Eek, when
7 say that | believe Tom Longboat
the Indian, Is the best distance runner
IN the world, for he has shown II by
his records. In the races In which
Longboat has been beaten IL was en-
tirely due to hts lack of training. Not
every man could train Longboat, but
| have written to Tom Flanagan. who
has the management OF Longboat. that
II he will place the Indian in my hands
for two weeks. | can put him In shape
TO beat any man In the world"

There Is no charity In the arrange

Naturally, the very rich. who have

There IS an amusing English defni-
ton Of gentleman" 1t is "a man
who wears q silk hat and If he has
no other title insists upon having Esq
added to his name when letters are
addressed to him"
The west end Londoner Of social
pretensions accepts this definition in
practice. Summer and winter in rain
or shine, he We;4s a high silk hat in
the streets of London and carries It
into the drawing room when he pays
an afternoon call. 1t is only when he
takes a train for the provinces or for
the continent that he ventures to use
more comfortable headgear. He also
expects to have the distinction Of "es-
qulre" when a letter is addressed to
him and is highly offended if he finds
on the envelope the prefix Mr." AS
a matter Of fact, the number Of Eng
fish gentlemen who are legally en-
titled to the medieval honor Of "es-
qure" IS insignificant 1t is a self as
sumed title which signifies nothing
that Is substantial in rank or privilege.
In common use in London esquire"
simply means that the person so all
dressed does not choose to be assOci-
ated with tradesmen and ordinary
working people and that he is a gen
tleman" who invariably wears silk
hat.

A Fable.

Once Upon a Time there was a
Young Man who met Two Nice Girls,
who were Constantly Together Now,
he was an Astute Young Man, and he
desired to say Something Pretty and
Agreeable to the Ladies', but he knew
that If he paid a Compliment to One
of them. No Matter which, the Other
would be Hurt
So he Thought Rapidly for a mo
ment. and then he said:
"Ah. know Why you Two Girls are
Always Together
WHY" asked the Two Girls,
Because Everybody says that a
Handsome Girl Always Chooses a
Homely One as a Companion. So That
Her Beauty may be Enhanced by the
Contrast"
After such Remark. either Both
Girls would be Angry with him or De
lighted.
AID what Do you think Happened?
The Two Girls Blushed and said he
was \ Flatterer and went their way
Together. each Happy for Herself and
