RED MAN, CEEERED BY HIS WIFE, DEFEATS SE4RUBB.

NEW YORK, February Ga woman
won the Marathon race that was decided
III Madison Square Garden last night In
favor OF Tom Longboat, the Indian, who
was pitted against the great English run
ner. Alfred Shrubb.
Longboat was beaten all the way up to
the nineteenth mile. when Shrubb had
a safe lead of about eight laps.
Then the sagaciouS Tom Flanagan.
who has managed the wonderful Indian
runner since he first entered the racing
field, led the runners wife to the track
and she said encouraging words to her
husband.
Longboat's Thrilling Squirt.
The result was both physically and
sensationally amazing. Longboat, who
knows no English and understands no
signals, knew that smile Of his little
while wife, and he began a desperate
plod that soon Wore his brilliant adver-
sary down.
The lead Shrubb had up TO that time
was gradually cut away, and the Eng
lshman began to take frequent walking
spells while the Indian tore along. Soon
the eight laps lead gave way to seven, the
seven to six, to five, to four, to three, to
two, to one and even.
The rafters rang as the men rounded
the turn on 9th street and Longboat,
for the first time i'll the night, shot ahead.

in the Incumbent President.

RICHMOND. Va. February CIV. B.
Bradley. owner of the Richmond fran
chise in the Virginia State Base Ball
League. had a long-distance telephone
talk with c. H. Consolvo, president of the
Norfolk club, about the rumor that Con-
solve might change his vote to Mannon
of Norfolk for the presidency of the
league. Bradley reports that Consolvos
only choice will be Jake Wells.
Norfolk. Lynchburg and Richmond will
be for Wells all the time, and as this
makes deadlock of the opposition OF
the other three clubs in the league to
Wells. the incumbent will undoubt sdly re-
tain the presidency. as the constitution
provides that the president shall retain
office until his successor is elected.
Roanoke, Danvif1e and Portsmouth have
long been fighting to defeat Wells for
the presidency. Wells himself announced
his retirement from base ball this year,
but with the severe opposition that de-
veloped he decided to hold on for his own
vindication-

Display of Silk Stockings in Dead Lett
 ter Office.
 Tho dead letter office of the postofice department in Washington, belied it's name fast Thursday when tarantula threw the clerks into frenzy which for a moment threatened to become a stam- pede. J. E. Davis, an experienced clerk, tore the cover from a mysterious looking package addressed to "Dott Huggero Verity, via Leon V. Firenzo, Florence, Italy" and found h box pierced with small holes Placing his ear, he shook it to ascertain whether or not It con- tained an internal machine and the lid came off.
 Jumping Jehosaphatr r' exclaimed Davis, when he found big tarantula roasting on his shoulder. He knocked it to the floor, where it promptly began n masterly retreat. Women clerks climbed on desks and fell over ono an- other to escape the spider. Never, said a veteran employee of the dead letter office, were so many silk stockings seen in the office before.
 After a brief, but determined search, thu tarantula was discovered in pile of mail sacks and was killed. The box was mailed in New York and because of its foreign destination and its suspicious appearance, was sent here for examina- tiOn.

THIRD GAME TO BE
PLAYED TODAY

Detroit, Oct. 11.--Today dawned
bright and clear, following yester-
days downpour, and It is now be-
lieved that the grounds at Benton
Park will have dried sufficiently at
2 O'Clock to permit the Pirates and
Tigers TO continue their struggle for
the worlds baseball championship.
The wet grounds will be a de-
cided disadvantage to Detroit, how
ever, as its players rely on bunting
and fast work while on the bases
to win games, and it is impossible
for the Tigers to show their normal
speed with the field wet and soggy.
Every resercved seat has been
sold. and the early indication is that
a record-breaking crowd for this
city will witness the game.
Both teams we're greatly benefit
ted by yesterdays rest, and are anx-
ious and eager to resume the fray.
Manager Jennings most probably
will depend on Summers TO twirl to-
days games, while Manager Clarke
will send either Adams or Maddox
to the firing line.
Umpires O'Loughlin and John
stone will handle the indicators.
Every reserved seat has been
interest in the series is at fever
heat.
Despite the severe drubblng the
Detroit aggregation administered to
the Pirates Saturday the National
leaguers are still the favorites in
the betting.
