DORANDO QUITS,

BUFFALO, IN. ", January 2,-Do-
rando Pietrie, the Italian Olympic
Marathon runner, failed to finish out
his race with Tom Longboat, the Ca
madam Indian runner, in their second
meeting here tonight Dorando quit
in the nineteenth mile and the victory
was awarded to the Indian by the
judges. For the greater part of the
eighteen miles the race went Longboat
had lead over the Italian. The course
was over a dirt track nine laps to the
mile, and the going was pronounced
satisfactory to both runners before the
race started.
There was apparently no reason for
Dorando's quitting. He had been run
ming well up to the time he stopped,
and superficial examination after the
race failed to disclose any physical
reason for his act. The Italians CIV
ing up when he had a chance to win
and with six miles yet to go in the
race was badly received by the crowd.

GOSSIP OF THE
WALKINGFES

The fine weather has brought the
for the walking races which
take place on Saturday out on the
roads again Intending entrants in all
three classes are practicing and some
surprises are exceedingly likely to be
sprung.
Larry Twomey, a heavyweight, went
over the course in very good time the
other night and is a favorite for the
tat mems event
1t is conceded that Webb will take
a lot of beating in the race for walkers
over sixty.

m. on Saturday next

The race for the cup presented by
the Honolulu Brewing & Mating Co.
is expected to be a very exciting af-
fair and both men have plenty of
hackers.
Word is expected from Manager Bid
good of the Haleiwa Hotel in the
course Of a day or so as to what the
conditions of the race to Waialua for
the Haleiwa cup will be.
Over a dozen athletes have already
signified their intention of making a
old for the trophy already.
The latest talk IN walking circles is
of race for ladies over the Waikiki
course. Such an event would be sure
to arouse great interest and as Ho-
nolulu has some really good lady walk
ers an exciting contest should result
and good time be made

DE SOLITUDE AM FIERCE.


Ah'm a lonely little niggah
And All don't know what to do;
All the white boys now done shun me
And they tell me to skiddoo.

AS the german in the moon;
No one seems to Tub poor Arthur,
He's a berry lonesome coon.

pierce,
For All clare to goodness gracious
That this solitude am fierce.

HUMPHREYS
SCARES THE
PILES WING
THEY lEGiSLATED HIM OUT
OF SUPREME COURT RACE
AND NOW HE'S REACHING
FOR SENATE SEAT.
(By United Press)

SEATTLE, June 23.-John E
HUMPHREYS of Seattle is the key
log of the political jam of the state
of Washington.
Eliminated from the likelihood OF
occupying place upon the SUI
preme court bench, he now appears
as a decided menace to the success
of United States Senator Samuel
H. Piles in the efforts of that gen.
tleman to be returned to office.
Judge HUMPHREYS has the dis
tinction of being the first man in
the state of Washington to be
legislated out of political con-
test. Realizing the fact that Judge
HUMPHREYS could, without question,
secure, under the direct primary
law, a nomination to the supreme
court bench two years hence, the
corporations of the state of Wash
ington caused to be passed by the
last legislature bill repeating
that part of the primary law pro-
viding for the direct nomination
of supreme court justices, and
throwing these nominations back
into conventions.
This was to be the final blow,
and Judge HUMPHREYS was to with
draw from politics and confine
himself to the practice of law.
