HAYES COULD Win
RACE FROM HORSE
If the Equine Would Keep
lis Speed Within the
Legal Limit

Basis for an interesting comparison
between the running abilities Of man
and horse is afforded by the record
made by Hayes. the young American
who won the Marathon race at the
Olympic games last week. covering the
26 miles in two hours, ffty-hve min
utes and forty-one seconds.
rwenty-six miles in two hours. fifty
five minutes and forty-one seconds ia
eight and seven-eights Of mile an
hour which exceeds the speed limit for
horses In Philadelphia by nearly two
miles an hour.
Would Easily Outstrip Horse
Taking this as a basis OF calculation.
and keeping the horse within the limit
of speed prescribed by law, seven miles
an hour, Hayes, the winner of the
great race, would have no dinculty in
leaving the horse from the start and
increasing his distance from the ami
NAL during the entire twenty-six miles.
IL is interesting 10 note the relative
distances between the man and the
horse, kept within legal speed in a
Marathon race from Philadelphia to
Wilmington. Starting out from city
Hall at 10 o'clock for their supposed
destination, twenty-six miles distant.
the man takes the lead with his speed
of eight and seven-eights Of mile an
hour and soon begins to leave the
horse with its legal handicap of seven
miles an hour behind. Down Broad to
WalpS and then out to Thirty third to
Woodland avenue and then towards
Darby and then on the Chester pike
toward Chester and Wilmington goes
the racer.
One hour later at o'clock. the man
is entering Norwood, while the horse
is only trotting into Sharon Hill, one
and seven-eights of a mile back. Ten
minutes later, at 210 o'clock. the man
is passing through Ridley Park. leading
the horse, now at Glenolden, by two
land one-tenths OF a mile.
Chester, thirteen and two-fifths of a
mile distant, is reached by the man at
2.So o'clock. three miles ahead Of the
horse, which is only going through
Ridley Park. twelve minutes behind.
; Then on through Thurlow Claymont,
Bellevue and on to the goal, this side
of Wilmington, the man increases his
lead until at the end of the race he
leads the horse by five and a half
miles as he would come into Whining
ton.

MYERS YET FAR
FROM dead ONE"

"A well-known Trenton baseball man
who saw Joe MYERS pitch the one-hit
game against Altoona last Thursday.
remarked: "who said Myers is a
dead one?" and the same remark was
unquestionahly made by hundreds of
other fans about the city. Since join
ing the Trenton club Myers has pitched
three magnificent games and that he
lost two OF the number was due all
most entirely to the fact that the nen
behind him failed to hit. IN one Of
the two games he lost he held his
former team mates on the Harrisburg
club to four hits. but in that same
game the Trenton batters secured but
three safe ones. A travelling man,
whose home is in York. saw Myers
one<ht game here and made the state.
ment that the veteran hooks To- be in
as good form OF present as he was
when he helped win the pennant for
York three years ago. = surely looks
like the resurrection Of Myers. and his
many friends have every confidence in
his ability to make good.

BOOM HENRY RIDGELY
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del. July o7-With all the
talk of a Democratic candidate for at
torney- general going the rounds it is
expected that Kent county Democrats
will offer another name in the next
few days. 1t Is that of Henry Ridges
lv. one of the best known lawyers OF
the State and a man whom Dover
Democrats think would prove fan
stronger than his party. Mr.. Ridgely
has taken no action in the matter, and
it is not known whether he win consent
to the use of his name but an under
current of sentiment is developing for
him in Kent and Sussex counties.
One of the strongest arguments used
by the advocates of Mr.. Ridgely is
that because OF his prominence in re-
form work and in behalf Of no-license
he would poll hundreds of votes in
Kent and Sussex counties that no other
Democrat could get. ana some Demo-
Gratis profess to believe that Mr.
Ridgely could carry The two lower
counties unless the Republicans notni-
nate a particularly strong candidate.
Among the Republicans here there is
much talk Of nominating Frank H.
Davis. of Dover, for attorneys general,
and it is said that the Kent and Sus-
sex county organizations are booming
Davis for the place on the ticket.
