on Hayes Jagged.
The pace was killing. At seventeen
miles Dorando, in the lead, was aheao
of Shrubs record at the same mark
In the Longboat race. The Marathon
itself was run in hours IS minutes
and s seconds nearly four minutes
slower than the last Hayes.Dorando
race. But this was because after the
seventeenth mile Dorando had the race
practically won, and slowed down TO
suit himself.
Garden Filled Early
The Garden filled early, and at ?
o'clock there wasn't vacant seat. Ihe
Enclosure inside the track was jammed.
All OF Little Italy was there, as well as
a strong Celtic Park delegation and nu-
merous curious people from other To-
calities.
The race started like the first Hayes
Dorando match-with DOrando cutting
out hot pace and holding the lead,
The first mile was run in minutes . 20
seconds, which Is very fast for long
distance race. 1t was pretty sight.
Dorando, a clean, graceful runner cut
ting out the pace, and Hayes, more mus
cular, but heavier and far less easy in
action, plugging along doggedly within
touch Of his heels.
During the first few miles Hayes tried
several times to pass, and each time
Dorando refused to let him. In the
sixth mile Hayes spurted ahead for the
first time, and the Garden Went wild.
Little nagging spurts by Hayes at inter-
walls after that gave him the lead for a
few moments at time. They covered
the first ten miles in So minutes +G sec
onds, and made 10 miles 10 laps in the
FIRST hour.
Sized Hayes Up Carefully
After the thirteenth mile Hayes
spurted continually, passing Dorando,
