FIFTEEN MILE RACE
WILL BE GOOD ONE
Arbor Day Will See Long Distance
Contest In the City That Will
Rival Famous Even.s.

Thursday, April 5, is the date des-
ignated for the 15-mile race to be
given a. the fair grounds, and num-
Der of entries for the event have been
lreceived from the snla Ter towns of the
county, all of the entrants having had
the advantage of several weeks train
ing.
| Among the entries are the follow
| ing: Floyd Isaacs, College Place, age
%, weight 1856 pounds; Charles N.
Lockwood, Walla Walla, age "a,
weight 1853 pounds; w. L. Mcmillan,
Prescott, Washington, age "a, weight
$50 pounds; John E. Peterson. Russell
Creek, age "a, weight 17S pounds;
wv. S. Harding Jr. FIT. Walla Walla,
age %. weight $50 pounds.
There is not a runner entering
the contest who will not run
the distance of fifteen miles in
| less than two hours, and it is also good
betting to state that everyone of them
will go the route. for to a man they
are a hardy set of athletes.
Walla' Walla's race is gotten
up solely in the spirit of pure sports
manship; the sole idea of its promoters
| is to find out whether this district is
capable of producing endurance run
ners-and how the same will compare
with runners of this kind in other
| sections of the country. Seattle, Port
land and Spokane have had their Mar
athons and now Walla Walla is to
have hers. 1t is believed that in this
city the best time in any of the races
so far in the northwest is going to be
made here.
1t is expected that Walla Walla's
big race will attract a good crowd
for it is not often that people Of this
city and district can have the oppor-
tunity Of seeing such a foot race, with
such we'll trained athletes participant
ing. Between now and Arbor day it
is expected there will be additional en-
tries for the big race. Contestants
and others who are interested can
