YMCA Marathon
Race Entries
Closed

No less than eighteen men have
entered for the Y. NJ. c. A. Marathon
race which Is to be run on June IL.
The entries have been confined to
strictly amateur runners, and fine
bunch of athletes has responded to
the invitation. The race, which
starts at Kapiolani Park and is TO
be run through the city to Moanalua
and back, should be most exciting
one, and no doubt will be witnessed
by huge crowd of holiday-makers.
The l1-mile bicycle race that is to
be run off on the same day is also
attracting a lot of attention, and II
is expected that good number Of
cyclists will have a try to beat DR..
Hands time over the distance. There
is also to be two-mile walking
race for which some of the best local
heel-and-toe artists have announced
their intention of entering.
The Marathon will start at l
O'Clock from Kapiolani Park, and af-
ter the runners have made one cir
cult of the track they will! tackle the
long run down to Moanalua and back
again. Whilst the long-distance men
are away from the park the other
events will be pulled of, and the big
crowd will thus have something to
watch and enjoy instead of having to
sit down and wait for the return oil
the Marathon men.
II will be very interesting to CON-
pare the time made by the winner OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. event with that
made by Nigel Jackson In the race
that was run on the League grounds
There are many people who think
that Jackson's time will be beaten
but II hardly seems probable, as tn,
runners on June IL have to thread
their way through the city streets
and dodge vehicles of all descrip
lions. However, the men will put III
pretty good time sure, and as mos
of them have been in active trainins
for some considerable time, ln'
race should eventuate.
The MEN who have entered for tn
event are as Follows: Paul Schmidt
c. A. Broderick, A. E. Baily. Jam
Macconel. Harry German, J. c. Ew
ing, X. J. st. John, Karl Klemme
John d. Cockburn, Joe Honan, Jane
S. Mott, Maurice Lebrescu. Alfred c
Musson, c. J. Hum, John McCand
less, Manuel Ferreira, John Carey
or this bunch German. Cockburn
and Lebrescu seem to have the hes
chance of winning, but there are 9th
err good men in the race who will
stir the trio up to their best efforts
Taking IT altogether, the race prom
Uses to be a really fine event. and on,
that will be handed down for year
as the best stunt the Y. NJ. c. A. eve

Before an audience that packed. the
American Music Hall, in which there

cited men leaped from their seats.

applauded. Their shrill and excited
cries Of approval as they stood up and
waved their handkerchiefs and even
their peach-basket hats. to the pom
derous, bowling, and blushing "undr.
feated champion" added picturesque
ness to the scene.
In the streets were hundreds Of
persons who could not get into the
theater, although high premiums
were offered for seats. Early in the
day Jeffries and the police had to
clear way for him to his automobile
or he might have been captured and
borne OF by his admirers.
JEFF Makes a Speech
After his sparring exhibition with
Sam Berger the audience shouted for
Jeffries to come out and make the
statement he had promised. The big
fellow" soon appeared. his dressing
gown only revealing his shaggy head
and great red fists.
The house went wild literally, and
Jeffries stood near the footlights bow
ing and raising his hands for order.
After several minues the audience be-
came reasonably quiet, and Jefries
began:
Ladies' and Gentlemen"
cut that out. Jeff. Come to the
point" cried voice In the gallery.
81 thank you from the bottom OF
my heart"
Never mind that. Are YOU going
to flght?" came another voice.
IL suppose you want TO hear some
thing else" continued Jeffries, onl,
smiling At the Interruption. ..

men.
We'll, am satisfied, after about
seven weeks work"
Quit your Kidding" came another
interruption.

condition as I ever was. and I will
fight Mr.. Jack Johnson"
| II Jeffries had had anything more
to say be could not have been heard
He ran of the stage while the audi
forum became bedlam OF noise and
cheers.

Conditions Made by Jeffrles
There are several conditions at
tached to Jeirries' re-entry into the
prize ring. First, johnson must de-
feat Ketchel. Then Jeffries cannot
sign articles possibly for ten months,
and he insists that the fight shall
take place In this country and that
II shall be unlimited as to rounds.
He made these conditions known
orally to the New York papers when
he handed out the following written
statement. Il will say that / never
