MARATHON TO ST. Yves
The French Runner Captures First
Money in New York Distance
Raee-Dorandc Sixth. .~

New York, May 10.-Repeating his
victory Of a month ago when he de"
feated the best runners Of the world
on the Marathon distance, Henry st.
Yves, the French waiter, this after
noon again proved concluSively that
he is without a peer in the running OF
the famous Greek classic. And the
issue was never in doubt. John r.
Marsh, the Canadian who last Satur-
day broke the record for the distance,
led from the fifth lap of the first mile
to the third lap Of the fifth mile, but
after that the French runner, with his
short, choppy stride, set the pace and
he never was headed
For fourteen miles the race was a
record breaking performance, the run
ners clipping seconds off the best time
ever made for the distance, but after
that the pace began to tell and they
gradually fell back into a moderate
grind which mile after mile brought
them further away from the record.
The Frenchman won by over a mile,
but the heart-rending pace that he had
set earlier in the struggle told on him
in the end and he was about "all in
at the finish.
John Svanberg, the Swedish cham
pion, was second, with Crook. the New
England runner, third: Fred Simpson,
the Canadian Indian, fourth; Fred APP
pleby OF England fifth; Dorando Pietri,
the Italian, sixth, and Edouard Cibot
OF France seventh.
For his victory st. Yves will receive
$4,000, while Svanbergs monetary con-
sideration is $4,000; Crooks. $1,000:
simpsons, $500; Appleby's, $500: Do
rando's, $500; and Cibot's, 5000.

st. Louis May 10.--Freddie Clark,
manager of the pirates, has brought
his team from last place 20 first in
the National league in a little more
than a week. Right acw he has the
pirates travelling as fast as any team
in the National league Is going and it
looks like the team that the cubs will
have to beat out if they are to take
another pennant. Clark certainly has
picked up two finds in ]. Miller at sec
and and Abstein at first. With little
more experience the last named will
be wonder and Miller is already that.
Clark is now trying to fill one hole
in his team. He would like to keep
Tommy Leach at third and get crack
center fielder. He found Ward Miller's
throwing arm a BIT weak and was
compelled to shift Leach to the outfieId
and send Jap" Rarbeau to third
Clark is playing great ball this year
and it is certain that he is IN for one
of the best years of his life.

tween Chas. Keflor of Hope and wal

game. Although Ksilor was consid-
erably lighter in weight than HaslSins.
he succeeded in staying four minutes
before being forced to the mat. The
second bout was won by Haskins in
two minutes. In the preliminaries
Lester Haskins placed one OF Hopes
grapplers in the desired position on
the mat in short order Al the concur
sion of the main event, the HaslIins

HOW Fighters FEEL
ON ENTERING ring

Prize lighters, who are obliged to
have as much or more courage than
great generals, are Affected in differ
ent ways before important glove con-
tests which demand from them per-
sonal greatness, a clear, quick think
ing brain, clever generalship and re-
markable physical endurance. Some
Of the best known fighters, like Napol-
con, rest ouly few hours before en-
tering the ring, while others like
General Grant, indulge in peaceful
| sleep before the time ARRIVES for hos.
tilities to begin.
Big Jeffries, the night he won the
heavyweight championship of the
world from Bob FItzsimmons, at Con-
ey Island, was resting for a couple
Of hours at the road house near by be-
fore entering the arena. Billy De-
laney, his trainer and manager, sat
at the bedside in a dimly lighted
room watching over the boiler maker
like a mother over a sick child.
''Try to take a nap jim" said De-
laney In a low voice. 'It will freshen
you up, my boy" But the only reply
from the burly pugilist was a deep
grunt. JEFF rolled and tossed from
side to side for nearly an hour, refus-
ing to see any frienns and actually
unwilling to hold conversation with
his. faithful trainer. The big fellow
was trained down pretty fine and was
suffering considerably from thirst, as
most fighters usually do when on
edge.
Come, Jim, let's take a stroll" said
Delaney finally, l.hen he found that
his man could not sleep JEFF slowly
moved himself to a sitting position on
the side of the bed and buried his
face in his huge hands. He seemed
to be lost in thought for a few min
utes and acted more like a man go
ing TO the electric chair than one who
was about to win the highest pugil-
istic honors OF the world.
"Come, Jim, let's be off" exclaimed
Delaney as he hel Jefcs coat for him
and placed a short heavy walking
stick in the big fellows hand. In a
few minutes JEFF and Delaney passed
slowly out of the road house and were
soon lost in the darkness. A few close
friends awaited the fighters return.
He came back with his trainer in the
same sullen mood and passed his
friends as if they were wooden In
dians. Although he looked husky and
strong, his demeanor did not inspire
his admirers with any great amount
of confidence and when he entered
the ring he looked gloomier than ever.
In fact, the stoIid expression on his
face did not change until he had put
Fitz down for the final count Then
Jeffries' bronzed features were lit UP
with wicked smile.
John L. Sullivan. before his battles,
was the personiication OF confidence
and pride. He always believed that
he could knock out any man on earth
Even the night he met his Waterloo
at the hands OF Jim corbett, Sullivan
was as proud as a peacock and as
brave as a lion. He was in particular
ly good hunnor as he drove over TO
the Olympic club with Charley John
son, his hacker, and Jack McAuliffe,
one OF his seconds. Sullivan and Nc
Auliffe sang old Irish ballads all the
way to the arena, and then cracked
jokes as they waited In the dressing
room. "How long do you think the
fight will last?' asked johnson gravely.

ATHLETICS LOST
TO INDEPENDENTS
BASEBALL AGGREGATION FROM
ACROSS THE RAGING RED DID
THINGS TO THE FARGO ATH.
LETlcs = PETERSON STARRED
FOR THE LOCALS.

Fargo Athletics S, Moorhead Inde-
pendents z. That was the result of
the first game OF the season for the
Athletics.
The day was ideal and q large crowd
of fans from both sides of the river
were out to see the swatting.
Peterson, the first sacker for theAth-
letics. took most kindly to fEoaters
served up by Rusness and swatted the
leather for a quartette of safeties for
a total OF eight. He famed the first
time up, singled the next, then doubled
twice. The last time he trippled and
was sorry he couldn't get another
chance for he felt sure that under the
rate of progression he would have nall
ed homer.
Andy Rusness was the shining light
for Moorhead in all around play.
Both teams did some ragged playing
as was expected for the initial game.
The Athletics hit safe most frequently,
but the wildness of Jones was a con-
tributing factor for the Moorheader's'
scores. None of Rusness' gifts re-
suited in scores while two of those by
Jones finally meant runs.
Barring their wildness both Jones and
Nero performed very satisfactorily.
Rusness of Moorhead has a floater
that is a great teaser and his drop is
a rather nice ball. The Rusness fam
lily is rather well represented OIL the
Independents, al making good.
Both teams gave promise of some
good baseball when they round to,
and the fans enjoyed the contest. Mem
eek umped satisfactorily.
There were three fast doubles and
Twirler Rusness stopped red-hot one
from ThorD's bat in the eighth

PHONE 1880

"Oh, I'll knock the dudes head of in
half a dozen rounds!" replied John
L. In his deep voice. Don't be too
sure, john" said Johnson. Remember
Corbett is a mighty clever fellow, and
he may fool you" Have no fear,
Charley. 1t viii be short and sweet.
never felt more confident in my life.
Get all the bets on me you can"
thundered Sullivan as e stood up and
answered the call to the ring.
Mike Donovan. the veteran pugtIist,
who trained, coached and seconded
Corbett for his fight, declared after
ward that Gentleman Jim was the
most nervous, restless man he had
ever handled. He said that Corbett
could not sleep well for many nights
before the battle and was obliged to
have the constant attendance Of
physician for a week previous, so
great was his nervousness.
One Of the most business like fight
ers who does not exhibit any partic-
ular emotion before a battle lis Bill
Papke, the former niddleweight
champion. He is always in good hui
NOR before mill and seems to enjoy
the game hugely. Batting Nelson. the
lightweight champion, always appears
to be overanxious before a fight. He
longs for the tap OF the gong that
calls him before his antagonist. Nell
son is rugged young man who sleeps
and eats well before mill. He usual
ly leaps into the ring the picture OF
confidence at all times and fears no
man his weight.
Probably the most anxious fighter
ever seen in a ring was that celehrat-
ed and queerly named person. Mys-
terious Billy Smith. Just before
battle he suggests a wildcat in a
cage ready to be let go at his prey.
Some of the greatest fighters ever
seen in the ring are those pale, nervous
fellows, always quiet and thoughtful.
Belonging to this style are Jack Nc
Auliff, Kid Mccoy, Jim Hall, Packey
MacFarland. Leach Cross, Abe AtteIl,
Willie Lewis and many others who
have proved their worth inside the
ropes.
Tommy Burns the former heavy
weight champion, so called, is cool.
clear headed and absolutely fearless
when he faces an opponent. He Is
crafty and tricky and knows how to
make his own matches. BY lodging
big Jack Johnson for two years gefore
agreeing to meet the big negro in
Australia Burns succeeded In causing
johnson many sleapless nights.

Wednesday and r. C. Thur.day.

Manchester has pair of games in
Fargo this week with the A. G. and
the F. c. The first game occurs with
the farmers Wednesday and the second
with the parsons Thursday. The visit
ing Presbyterians probably believe it is
foreordained for them to win both
games but the locals hope to step their
lucky streak. Manchester has been
playing great ball this season and is
regarded as extremely fast.

A. c. LICKED CONCORDIA
Aggiss Too Much for the colIeaians
from Over the Raging Red in
the Frisid Contest.

Cold weather was the chief feature
of the baseball game between the A. G.
and Concordia Saturday afternoon.
Only the really truly faithful were on
deck. The final score was is to a
dozen in favor OF the husky farmer
boys. There were errors galore by
both teams and there were few dizzy
spots caused by the ascension by the
players.
The two institutions have other
games this season and hope the
meeting day will be more Like baseball
weather than Saturday.
