Winner of Olympic Marathon Says
He May Retire From
Game.

New York, Aug. 15.-Hayes. the win
ner of the Marathon race i'm the recent
olympic games, is said to have an
nounced in London that he will never
run another Marathon. This race is a
terrific strain on any athlete. Twenty
SIN miles at jog trOt would be hard
enough. but when it is run at a steadily
increasing speed. winding up with
long, hard hve-mile drive and a squirt
of from mile to "A mile and half at
the finish, il is a man killer Sherring.
winner of the famous Marathon at
Athens two years ago. retired on his
laurels. He has never run race since
returning to his home in Hamilton.
Canada
He had won the greatest athletic
honor in the world, and decided that
II was better TO graduate at the top
than 10 go running until he fell back
in form or some younger runner took
his measure. While this might be good
idea for Hayes, too, it is likely that his
determination was made just after the
race, when he was still sick and sore
from pounding over the cObblestones
and asphalt that paved great part of
the course He is young and sturdy.
Probably the invitation TO run that he
will receive from every club around
New York will bring him back into the
game as soon as he has rested and re.
covered from the effects of the most
gruelling race of the season.

New York, Aug. I5.-Lieutenant Halls

The knights offered to pay Halls
welle's full expenses. but he has cabled
his regrets
Perhaps it is just as well that he
cannot see his way clear to again meet
the fleet footed Cornell athlete, for in
his present form Carpenter would al
most certainly repeat his London vic
tory, and Just now the athletic rela-
lions between the two countries are not
so friendly that a little more hard feel
ing would help any
Carpenter is now generally recognized
as the fastest man at the distance in
the world. John b. Taylor. the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania wonderful negro
runner, is about all in so far as cham
pionships are concerned. He is still D
great runner and will be found on
scratch far oftener than on the handi-
cap lines. but il is doubtful if he will
ever again show his remarkable form
of year ago. The injury he received
at Madison Square garden last winter
still bothers him.
When the team returns to this coun-
try Carpenter and Mel Sheppard may
be brought together in a quarter-mile
run. This distance would suit Shep-
pard quite as well as a longer route.

BASEBALL IS king NOW
1t Is Not Long Since Horse Racing
Was the Game at St.
Louis.

st. Louis, Aug. 15.-It wasn't very
many summers ago that ST. Louis was
supporting four race tracks besides its
two baseball plants.
Then. some fifteen summers back.
there was horse racing at the two East
Side merry go-rounds, Madison and
East st. Louis, as well as night racing
at the South Side and Sportsman
park, "Jericho's," and baseball at Won
der Aheville.
Later though. just a couple of sum-
mers ago, the firm of Celia, Adler Il
Titles alternated running the fair
grounds, Delmar and KinIoch courses
Pat Carmody and his associates had the
Union track in operation. and the
Browns and Cardinals were holding
forth the same as today.
Then, to make times ali the sport
Ter" Charley HaughtOn had his West
End club in operation, while Joe Cap
peis was showing the pugdom chappies
at the Jai Alai building.
All of a sudden the lid" was damned
on. The race tracks were closed. So
were the fighting clubs.
Baseball alone was allowed to con-
tinue. That condition has continued.
Save for an occasional track meet or
an auto show, not counting, of course,
the fall combats on the gridiron. it has
been baseball and baseball only, for the
snort lovers
