WHITMAN WINS FROM
FORT WALLA WAL[A
BY the Score of Seven to Five Mission
aries Wipe Up Soldiers On Ankeny
Field After a Bad Start.

Making the tally even between the
team from Whitman college and the
boys from Fort Walla Walla, the form
er Yesterday afternoon defeated the
latter by the score of to 5 in a con-
test which while not very exciting gave
SPECTATORS an excellent opportunity to
see some good ball. For the first five
innings the lads from the fort put up
better ball than did the Missionaries
and succeeded in keeping the score
down to nothing for them, but at the
opening of the sixth, several hits were
punched. which resulted in a score for
them Followed by another batting
streak in the seventh and with the aid
of a couple of passes issued by Butts,
the fort twirler, the tally was run up
to seven points. The support given the
pitcher by the soldiers was good dur
ing the first part of the game, While
butcher, in the box for the Mission
aries. received rather ragged backing
from an aggregation that was capable
of doing better work After the sixth
inning. however, a better exhibition OF
the national sport was put up and the
soldiers accordingly lost.
In order to save some of the regular
lineup for the game with the State
college Friday and Saturday, Coach
blanchard had substituted other men
in their places. Ro!stad took Schmlot
place behind the bat, and Barnes Went
into right field. ALT Belt held dowr
first for Schubert.

Der. for O'Brien only recently met
Ketchel in a ten-round bout in New
York. The Quaker received a terrible
drubbing at the hands of the Montana
wonder, but he put up as game and
clever a fight as anyone would care to
see If he makes a better showing
against the Texas giant, even though
it be at the shorter distance, it will
encourage KetchePs admirers to be-
lieve that he really has something
more than a look-in for the champion
ship. For these reasons the eyes of
the whole fight world are on the little
tea party arranged by the Philadelphia
club. O'Brien is never out of cOndi-
ton For cleverness he ranks with the
topnotC hers of the game. He is as fast
as flash of lightning and is so shifty
that he evades the force of many a
hard punch by being on the get away
when it lands. These pictures, taken
only a few days ago, show some OF
| his methods of training. The man in
J the white trunks is OBrien.

SINCE WINNING OF CLASSIC

FAVOR HAS SET IN.
From All Indications the Fad for Long
Distance Running Has Hit the
World to Stay.

MarthOns in New York, marathOns
in Chicago, marathons in ST. Louis, in
Seattle, in Portland and even near
marathons in this city-the same fad
everyWhere-are proof of the preva
lenc of MarathOnitis, a disease that
first affected the Greeks nearly 500
years before the beginning of the
Christian era, and which has recently
obtained a secure grip on Americans
annals of amateur sport on this hemis-
phere.
When Johnny Hayes, a comparative
ly lesser light in athletic circles in
New York, carried the Stars and
Stripes to victory by winning the mar
athOn in the renewal of the ancient
Olympic games in the London stad-
ium in 1908. he not only achieved ever
lasting glory for himself, but caused
revival of interest in long distance
running. the like of which America has
never known. Since the triumph of
HAYES nearly every city in this coun-
try has had marathon races.
While it was generally conceded
that the team from the United states
would score an overwhelming victory
in the matter of points in the Olym-
piad, there was little deep rooted con-
fidence in the ability of the Americans
to carry off premier honors in the most
coveted race on the program. For years
field and track sports of all sorts had
been enjoying a healthful development
in this country, but the improvement
in the class of lon gdistance runners
had been so gradual that it was hardly
considered likely that any American
would be able to successfully match
strides with the stars representing the
nations that had for centuries mace
an especial effort to foster long a1s-
lance running.

oreditable showing in the marathon

MODERN MARATHON
a POPULAR CRAZE

, the movement that had it's elimination
! in Hayes achievement.
While one of the oldest events on
the athletic card, the Marathon race
was almost forgotten until the revi-
vival of the ancient games in an inter-
national athletic contest in Athens in
1896. These contests were held in the
restored stadium that had existed be-
fore $50 B. c., toward whose first cree
ton patriotic citizens had contributed
everything from the gold of one to
the thousand yoke of oxen, that Hero
des sent as a gift to the Panathea1c
festival Time and war and forgetful-
ness had buried the stadium, but in
1863 it was partially excavated. and
before these international contests ii
had been restored to its original de-
sign. the underground chambers for
the athletes being the same as when
first used 1000 years before.
There the first athletic marathon
race was run in memory of that MIS-
tOric day 2276 years before, when one,
Philippines, an Athenian soldier, ran
from the plains of Marathon to the
palace in Athens to tell the king or
the victory of Mitiades and his Athen-
ian and Pleateau freeman over the
mercenaries of Darius. The runner
dropped dead at the feet of his ruler,
so history and tradition assert. The
city accorded him every civil and mill
itary honor, his body lying in state in
the capitol for three days Among the

On the dav of the new marathon tne
ring of the Greeks was to receive the

this time $4,000 people waited knowing
for the coming of many runners. The
fact that the runner was Splros

Pioneer. Word has been received
in this city from Denver, COL, to
the effect that William D. McK1n-

forestry service here, has become
totally blind and there is no possible
chance of recovery. Mr.. McKinnon's
eyes have bothered him for sever al

few months ago he was forced to
undergo an operation. This opera
ton was followed by four others.
His condition was thought to be
improving by his friends here, but
telegram from the forestry supervisor
stated that he was totally blind and
there was no chance of recovery.
Mr.. McKinnon has been in the
forestry service for the past twelve
years, and was held in high esteem
by the forestry superintendents. A
very high promotion was awaiting
him as soon as he became able to
