Athletes of National

Entry blanks from Andrew Johnson
and H. S. Reese, Of the Corcoran Cadets,
District National Guard, handed in this
morning through Capt. {. z. Edwards,
swell the list for the intercity Marathon
on June Il to twenty-six
These entries raise the men who will
run under National Guard colors from
this city to seven. Five men had al
ready entered, Otis II. yesterday, ]. A.
Giovanni. d. F. Casassa, j. S. Scala,
and 5 G. Casassa. Any one familiar
with military athletics in this city will
recognize in these names men who
have figured prominently in most of the
athletic events held by that organisa-
ton for the last two years.
Neither johnson nor Reese, who entered
today, are distance men, but both have
won recognition for work at ST orter
distances. Likewise both have been
training since the announcement was
made of the Tines-News event and are
reported TO be III prime condition. They
were among the number who ran from
Laurel to washington on Sunday and
stood the trip wen.
The National Guard has been on the
ground floor IN planning trial runs and
other training stunts. This Sunday they
viii make q second jauns 5=-er the route
of the intercity race. and VIII make an
attempt 10 better the record they made
last Sunday. At that time they ran ten
miles and walked the rest of the dis
lance.
William Peet. baseball coach Of Bust
ness High School, announced today that
he will enter a team Of at least four
men from his baseball string. That
heavy-hitting aggregation. Peet de-
clares, is an all around fwo-handed
bunch OF candy kids when it comes TO
athletics. and their light should by
no means be hidden under the limited
season for baseball playing. To keep
them IN form and under his watchful
eye Peet Will pick handful of phenOms
from this sterling string and viii stack
them against anything two cities can
produce for staying powers.
Washington representatives on the Of
fetal board Of the Marathon, including
men who have had years of experience
in athletics, and have been associated
with many distance runs met L. The
Times office this morning to discuss
pans and arrange details for running
the event.
Some idea of the comprehensive ar
engagements to be made for the run may
lie gathered from some of the plans. At

Team Greatly Heartened by
Trimming Detroit Tigers
in-LaSt Game.

DETROIT. Mich. May Z7.-Washing-
con fans have a right 10 be encouraged

made when it took the last game OF the
series from Detroit by 10 l.

Most OF the credit for the winning goes

well in hand, but he was nObly sup
ported BY the men behind him. Wild
Conroy took a chance at third, despite
the sty on his eye, and his work was
excellent, both in the field and at the
bat. George Browne made a catch in
the ninth inning OF Sam Crawford that
was a wonder and kept Detroit from
tying the score. Charley Street was
there with an arm so strong that after

Convoy and Donohue.
Conroy shone not only as q fielder and
batter. but his steal Of second after
singing in the first inning gave him a
chance TO score on DOnohUe's single,
and that put heart in all the Nationals.
Donohue, by the way, had a timely sin
gle, a sacrifice hit. and a sacrifice fly,
which is about all that can be expected
of one man when the opposing pitcher
holds the side to six hits.

ITHACA, n. Y, May 27.-One fhou-
sand dollars Of Harvard money has
been bet here on the CorneH-Harvard
boat race to be held here Monday. The
Harvard men offered odds of 10 TO s

It is expected that $4,000 win be put
up before Monday, and the betting is
expected TO go TO even. as there is
plenty Of Cornell money in sight.
Coach Courtney announced that he
had shifted the junior varsity eight.

Jockey Martin Explains.
As was to be expected. he declares
that there is no reason to believe the
accident 70 his mount was anvfbinp
more than what might be exnacted ia
big field in which there vas unneees-
sary cr9wding. He makes II ugafn also
that all he remembers was that his
mount was crossed, crossed his legs
and eel. But he thinks the accident
cost either Sir Martin or William ~
the race, as they were going the strong
est al the time and the boy ON s-,sllian
~ took him to the outside raj to keep
from stirling Jockey Martin when ne
landed CT the turf.
This cost him seven or eight lengths
and as William " was beaten only a
short head the accident 10 Sir Martin
cost his owner the big English prize.
A number Of Americans who are ia
touch with the situation, are express
ing the opinion today there Is a possf-
bility that The jockeys on horses that
had nc chtnce nav have decided TO
crow0 the American entry TO better the
King chances but this idea IS dis
tinctly IN the minority. and the major

SIR MARTINS FALL

Electric Boy Which Knocked Him Down, Entered
Without Good Reason Majority of Ameri-
cans Call Accident Racing Luck.

LONDON, May 27.-Despite the fact
that Louis Winans accepts the mishap
TO his colt. Sir Martin, in yesterday 5
Derby as the fortune of racing" and
has made no intimation that il might
have been prevented. there is a con-
certed wall from the English newspe-
pers today that the knocking down Of
the American colt, whose victory would
have cost the English bookmakers
100000. was all an accident
The strenuosity Of this appeal. in the
face of the fact that no charge os
crooked work was made, has had the
effect of making the American horse
men look into the matter much more
closely than they would otherwise. It
IS unfortunate that the American colt
was bumped by Electric Boy, a colt for
whose starting in the big classic there
seems to have been no excuse, and who
was admittedly les weary when he
swerved against the Ogden colt. who at
that time was running on even terms
with Minoru and under double wraps.
Fear American Suspicious
Not an English newspaper and hardly
an English turfman but is today ex-
pressing the greatest anxiety that
Americans viii not think the knocking
down of Sir Martin was a put-up job.
All of the papers point out that Tot
tenham's Corner is the most dangerous
bend on any race course in the world.
