All Star Rnce ApriI 8.

As q climax to this seasons pro-
fcssionh gamc an all star Marathon
race has been arranged that should
settle for 4 timo ut least the cham
pionship OF tho world. This big event
is TO be held ut the Polo grounds. New
York, April 8. Tho competitors IN this
contest will be Alfred Shrubb. Eng
lands great distance runner. Tom
Longboat tho Indian Pietri Dorando.
tho Italian. and Johnny Hayes, tho
American. Matt Mnloncy, formerly of
Ireland. but now of Now York. and
John Svanberg. who recently arrived
in this country. may also start in the
biz race
Tho meeting OF the sextet in tho final
contest or tho year on the first Satur-
day In April will be the big event OF
the season.
With such runners on tho track. the
contest Will be almost as much one of
hcadwork as OF endurance. 1t prom
iscs TO be the most interesting running
contest the world has over seen. All
OF the men Will havo had experience
at the distance, and masterful cx-
hibition OF Jockeying IS sure to be seen.
When Shrubb met the Indian 1t was
the Englishmon's first Marathon. He
never had run farther than fifteen
miles. but at that distnnce he is prob
ably without peer today.
Shrubb has always been unable TO
find a man In tho world, barring Ap-
pleby OF England. who can give him n
race at ten or fifteen miles. He has
been beating men in relays in this and
other countries, In fact. his great
ability has kept him from making
much money. Tho Loneboat race was
his first big paying match
The italian may be the least liked of
the four as the winner of the contest,
owing to his propensity TO use bad
judgment and run himself out before
tho timo for the final sprint But Do
rando has learned 4 lot since his ar
rival In this country He showed great
hcadwork in his last race with HAYES.
Despite tho fact that ho has been
cast In tho shade, owing to his two
defeats by Dorando. Johnny Hayes
still has any number of admirers who
think he can defeat tho italian. not
indoors. but out In tho open air. Thoy
claim tho inhallng of the smoke and
dust In the recent raco with Dorando
intcrferred greatly with his breathing
apparatus.
Tho Indian will undoubtedly be the
favorite for tho big event Ho has
bce1 running in superb form during
tho winter. and his two casy victories
over Dorando and the one over Shrubb
have mado him look invinciblo to
many.

Bridge playing is nonsense
When your partner is in chronic state

When the play IS not for a stake.

When you are devoting TO ii time that

a dress.
1t is not nonsense
When partners are fairly balanced all

DISCUSSION OF MIKE MURPHY'S
LOVE AFFAIRS LEADS TO SHOOTING
SCRAPE In BOARDING HOUSE

Michael Murphy, a plumber, fired
three shots at as many men in a board
ing house at 256 West Third South

taken in his love affairs
The victims selected for death were
w r. Owens, II. A Toohey and T. r.
Arnoldy. All the men are plumbers,
and make their home at the same house
with Murphy. None Of them was liz
jured, as the shots. fired i'm the dark,
went wild.
Apart from the anger OcCasioncd by
their curiosity, Murphy declares he was
driven to use the weapon because Of
Ia severe beating administered to him
by the trio. When arrested both eyes
were discOlOred and swollen shut. and
his face and body were badly bruised.
The name Of the woman against
whom was made such strong objection
to entering the house, could not he

.of the excitement, when Il dense crowd
was attracted to the premises by report
of the shooting. she fled.
The boarding house is conducted Iy
Mrs. Jennie Thomas. widow. She is
said TO have requested Murphy to stop
bringing the woman there. In defiance
Of her wish, Murphy is said to- have had
the woman in the house last night. and
Is alleged even TO have told Mrs. Thorn
as that she would remain; that as long
