On all sides they are talking about

mites, Dorando and Hayes. Their
success as box-office magnets has set
the fastest amateurs thinking, and just
now the most thoughtful OF the Mara

Longboat. Harry Pollock Is ready to
make the match, and as a grand finale
he will hang UP $4,000 purse for a
free-for-all, to include Hayes, Dorando,
Shrubb, Longboat. Crowley, Tewanina
and several others who profess to
have beaten Dorando's time.
This fellow Crowley seems to be
the dark horse OF the entire bunch.
His remarkable run over the Yonkers
course Thanksgiving day made him
the winner. of the greatest Marathon
ever run on this side of the world. He
plowed through 25 and half miles OF
mud and slush. and when he passed
