MAD Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor club, met an attrac-
tive young woman at the docr. Janitor
O'Hagan assured him had been
within that day. Dan discovered a wom-
ans finger prints in dust on his desk
along with a letter from his attorney
torney. Dan set out for Greenfelds, to
get his family jewels. During his walk
to the country seat, he met the young
woman in gray. whom he had seen leav,
ing his bachelors club. Her auto had
broken down. He fixed it. BY a ruse she
'lost'' him. Maitland, on reaching home,
surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe
containing his gems. She. apparently,
took him for well-known crook, Daniel
Anisty. Half-hypnotized, Maitland opened
his safe, took therefrom the jewels, and
gave them to her. first forming a part
sought by police of the world. appeared
on the same mission Maitland overcame

at the points where mistakes might
occur there will be checkers and Off
cials to warn the competitors and PUT
them on the right track
The last ten miles are on a practically
level road, with little or no dust 10
well for all those In the intercity race
to remember that they will find their
troubles in the early stages.
Be prepared to meet several sandy
spots. II you have an opportunity to
do your training work where hills pre-
dominate, use your efforts in running
up these hills. Do not change the
stride that you have Teen using on the
help. Your stride will shorten percept-
ibly on the upgrade, but you must
expect that Always keep in mind that
there are down grades to relieve the
spent energy. and when the ups and
downs between Laurel and Washing
ton are taken into consideration it's
about an even break.
The fastest running in the intercity
race, other than the first three miles
will be between Bladensburg and Wash
ingtou, although tile roads between
Beltville and Bladens5Urg are not half
bad At COntee, about three miles from
the start of the race, the roads COM
menCe to get soft and sandy, but are
in no poorer condition than the roads
from Ashland to Framingham, the two
Massachusetts towns that mark the
course of the -so-calied Boston bill
lard table route.
After looking over the course from
Washington to Laurel and a return
from the town where the start will be
made 10 the finishing line IN front of
Tie Times building, I would call the
course a stiff one, but not half as
hard as the original course at Athens.
and II compares favOrably with the
three routes used in New York city.
There is going to be some foolish run

three miles nf this hTFr
training with the knowledge that there
are some tough hills and sandy roads

went over the interclty course from
Washington TO Laurel yesterday after
noon and returned over the same route.
It's stin course and there are some
hills that viii cause bother TO those
who are not IN condition. The last
half of the course IS what might be
termed excellent going when fTre Mara
thon courses in general are taken into
consideration.
Just after leaving Laurel the roads
are all that could be desired for a few
miles and, while bad spots viii be en-
cOuntered between Laurel and Contee,
a foot path on the side Of the road
viii give the runners some advantage.
Although the first part OF the journey
may seem tough, keep the facs in mind
that the last ten miles are almost per
feet for road work.
The course is somewhat hilIy, but the
up grades do not occur too frequently
when the distance-twenty fliles-is
taken into consideration. The Boston
course has often been described as the
billiard table course. This is true IN
a way, but the last six miles of that
course is indented with hills, while the
runners in the Times-News race. June
u, viii find the hardest part Of their
work in the first half OF the distance
Be prepared for hill work. The up
grade is a little harder than 7 antici-
pated. Tom LOngbOat and Caifrey, Of
Canada, have been the only men who
ran the entire distance over the Boston
course, oyer which Longboat holds the
record, but it is doubtful II Caffrey
would have run twenty-five miles over
such roads as lay between Laurel 9nG
