twenty-fifth mile. Dorando was

twenty-fifth mile. Dorando was three feet in front when Hayes tried to pass him at the end of the twenty five and a half miles, but Dorando prevented the move~by raising his right elbow in the Americans face, the crowd hissing and hooting. It looked like a foul. @ e,, As Dorando was using sponge Hayes dashed to the front and led for twenty yards; then Dorando sprinted past him, and Hayes did not attempt to try this trick again for two laps It was again unsuccessful; Dorando was still the leader by a yard at twenty-five miles, which. he covered in 2:36:57 1-5.
 They were on the last mile now and great excitement prevailed. It was a hard gruelling race and both men were game to the core. Hayes lap. but Dorando was too much for him. . Hayes, with fixed jaws, went after the Italian in dead earnest in the seventh lap, but he could not pass him. Dorando, however, was ex- tended to the limit. Tn the last lap Hayes was all in. Dorando began to draw away, and amid a wild dem- onstration he won the great race by third of a lap, finishing with a sprint. sN.tg ,. .,. That the race was strictly on the level. all of the athletic experts in sisted, for both men had everything to lose Managers Powers and Pol lok were bound to reward the crack runners substantially too. Hayes received a guarantee of $3,000 win or lose, or the privilege of taking 30 per cent of the receipts. Though he was recently an amateur. his idea about clinching this coin was that of professional His manager wanted to have the ticket boxes padlocked and all of the ticket sellers and takers watched. l..

THE PUCILISTS
Stanley Ketchell Regaius His Lost Laurels By Whipping Billy
 Papke.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Though Bill ly Papke, the Illinois "thunderbolt,' V was knocked out in the eleventh round by Stanley Ketchel of Grand Rapids, Mich, he says he is not satisfied and asks for return match.
 Ketchel, who by this victory regains the middleweight championship Of ths world and reversed his defeat of last September, announces that he is WILL ing to fight Papke again whenever the latter is ready to meet the conditions.
 Six thousand men witnessed the con test here, and $20o00 was divided be- tween Ketchel and Papke.
 Ketchel was a victor throughout His appearance during the early rounds did not tend to encourage those who had backed him at odds of 10 to T and 10 to 6, but his awkward deliv- cry of blows fast seemed to lull Papke into a false sense of security. In his first round Ketchel drove Papke into a neutral corner, landing right and left almost at will, and thereafter the Ill nois contender was always at a dis advantage. Stepping aside at critical junctures, Ketchel swung his right time and again flush upon his oppo' nent's jaw, now and then alternating with left drives to the body. In the | fifth round Ketchel drove hard left to the stomach, and Papke had not put up his hand before he encountered a hard right to the jaw. Before this in the fourth round, light tap on the nose had brought blood from Papke that started the crowd yelling for tho Michigander z | It was in the seventh that Ketchel used his right to the greatest advan' tage Papkes only hope lay in his dis position to clinch. but he was hit twice, and both blows tended to lessen his reoupsrative power.
 In the eleventh and final round Ketehel came up as fresh and strong as at any time during the fight. He tapped Papke lightly on the jaw and | then rushed him half way across the ring, planting two hard rights to the | stomach A moment later as they broke out of a clinch Ketchel swung the left at three-quarters length, land ing squarely on the point of the chin Papke struck at full length, his head rapping the floor with terrible force He had just enough strength to regain his feet, and while he crouched in ar attitude half protected Ketchel sent his right to the head four times iu quick succession and almost pushed Papke over with left hook. Papks dropped and fell forward on his knees his hands supporting him and his head bowed as if in agony. Referee Jacl Welsh counted eleven, as did also tht timekeeper, and then advancing to ward Ketchel threw the Michigan fighters glove aloft. Papke, stil dazed, seemed not to realize his defeat
 Martin Carter of Irvington dropped dead at the ringside from excftemen when Ketchel knocked Papke out. Car ter was the proprietor of the famou. Nutwood stock farm near Irvington.

GREAT RACE.
American Hayes Raced Off His Feet <, - at.---
 Bv Italian Dorando Pietri.

John J. Hayes and Dorando Pietri, the Italian, fought their Marathon battle over again in Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. The Ital- ian forced the pace throughout and turned the tables on his American rival by winning after one of the most desperate races ever seen in this country. .-.
 Dorando ran away from Hayes in the last mile and won by one-third of lap, or about sixty yards. The time was ? hours, A minutes, 20 2-5 seconds.
 A few moments before Dorando and Hayes came out on the track It was estimated that nearly 10000 persons were present, and most en- thusiastic throng it was too. In a box close to the starting line was a pretty young woman, Miss Florence Mason of Lowell, Mass, Hayes s sweetheart. She wore the same dress. by Hayes's request, which she wore in the stadium when Johnny won the Marathon race last July. Miss Mason had an Irish--American flag which she waved as she sat with a party of friends. | She Is my mascot" said the American as he looked in Miss Ma sons direction just before the race.
 Do your best, John," was her last injunction.
 Divested of their bathrobes. the men appeared to be evenly matched in build and weight. Dorando wore white sleeveless jersey and red running drawers. while Hayes was clad all in white with blue trimmings and red, white and blue shield. They started about thirty-three yards before the finish mark, Hayes being on the rail- The track was cleared and the race was on at 9:19 o'clock. MT Croker firing the gun.
 Dorando took the lead at the start but Hayes stuck close and they fin- Ished the first lap about two feet apart. They were going at an easy pace, confident and cool headed. Dorando took longer strides than the American, who logged along in a determined manner. Dorando was leading by a yard at the end of the first half mile. At the end or the ninth lap Dorando was two yards ahead and was looking over his shoulder. Hayes spurted then, and as the first mile was finished the men were close together with Do- rando leading, timed in 5:27.
 At twenty-three and half miles Hayes tried to take the lead, but Dorahdo raced him off his feet, it seemed, and went to the front so easily that the Italians, sure that he would win, threw their hats and flags in the air In couple of laps they were close together again and Do rando led by foot at the end of the twenty-fourth mile, the time be- ing 2:30:31.
 Stay with him." cried Hayes $ trainer. George Cameron. as the American ended the third lap of the

The AcOrns Won.

Bridgeport, Nov 27.--The Acorns of this city defeated the Thomaston eleven at Newfield park yesterday af- ternoon by the score of 12 to 0. The locals played straight line bucking football and were able to penetrate the visiting line for good gains, while Thomaston, unable to break the local line, had to resort to for ward passes and trick plays, in which they were fairly successful, though not enough to score. The home team scored touchdown and kicked I goal in each half.

to have their goal line crossed and have not as yet lost game, so we claim the championship of the city for 1908 and still have all kinds of money that says we are the best team in the city. If the Brownies want any more fotball from us they can have all they want. We are just as fresh as ever and we are not crippled yet. We played rings around the Brownies and outfought every team in the city this year and still are alive and want more. If the Brownies want any more football they can have 1t by calling on the Manager of the Quaker A. c. team for any amount of money. We want justice and will have to have it.

side and through the crowd. Referee Clifford, however, had followed Thompson in his flight back of the goal posts and knew whereof he spoke when he declared that the touchdown was faultlessly made. Speaking of the officials. Clifford made as good referee as has been seen on the gridlron this season. Big Bill Hotchkiss. too, as timekeeper was always on to his work and the fans were pleased to see the big fel' low on the ground, even if he wasn't tearing holes through some oppos- ing line of football heroes.
 Every member of the winning team came out of the scrimmage in good condition and they were happy lot of mortals last evening. An at tempt was made to match the two teams again for next Sunday, but Manager Lawlor had promised the game to the Films, provided the All Waterburys won out, and the All Brooklyns will have to wait until next season. The game was bitterly fought throughout and several times the players got pugilistically ip- clined, but no serious damage was done. ~ ....-' 70 .r.t. In the first half the All Brooklyns gave some encouragement to their packers and had the ball within ten yards of the All Waterbury goal line, but they were unequal to the task imposed upon them and were thrown back for losses until Ghent in des- peration was given the ball to try for a field goal. It missed and that was the closest that Brooklyn came to scoring.
 In the second half the All Water burys tore through them and around them and carried the ball to the nine yard line, with but five minutes play ing time lest. Thompson was given the ball and dropped back to the six teen yard line, as if to try for q field goal Suddenly he started off like a rocket around Brooklyn's left end. Through four or five of the tackles he dashed and down behind the goal posts he planted the ball, with Ref cree Clifford close at his heels, Then came the kick which availed nothing as the play had been seen by the official in charge. Darkness had be- gun to overspread the field at this time and the fog swept over the players and spectators, hiding many of the plays. Joe Bagley made q nice try for goal and sent the ball right over the middle of the cross bar. Play was then resumed, but with the ball going toward the Brook lyn goal again the whistle blew and the city championship had been set tied. The lineup and summary:

 Joe Cans, former lightweight champion was in New York yester- day and talked of tho six round bout between Packy Mcfarland and Tommy Murphy, which he saw in Philadelphia on Wednesday night. Cans says he has not retired from the ring and that hejis willing to take on some of the present day light-weights. But he declares that he will never do 133 pounds ring side again.
 Mcfarland would have no chance In fight with Battling Nelson said Cans. Mcfarland cant hit a lick on earth and that lets him out Murphy, too, would be no match Tor Nelson, who is so far above any one of his weight that he is really Tn a class by himself. If Mcfarland wants to fight mo I'll be only too glad to accommodate him. He would be easy meat for me. Murphy asked me recently to meet him at 133 ringside, but that Is out Of the question: l am not under the man agement of Al Herford and will con tinue to make my own matches.
 Many ring experts believe that Cans made serious mistake when he met Nelson at ringside weight. But the colored puglist says that Nelson could have beaten him un" der any conditions.

In spite of my age l am in perfect health, and if I can't put such fight CTS as Gunner Moir and Jem Roche to sleep as quietly as Burns aid l will be ready to retire from the ring forever. I can hit almost as hard as ever and that means that l can win in England from any man they see fit to pit against me. There is some very easy money over there and l intend to gather it in. There are no really first class heavy-weights nowadays such as I used to meet. Burns is counterfeit champion sure enough if he had been in the ring when I was champion he would have been an easy mark for me. l will fight at about 16O pounds and will be as fit as possible when ! enter the ring.
