AL Kaufman is considered the best

ing already posted his forfeit of 5000

Johnson's forfeit has been up for the
last week. and up to date jeff has ig-
nored it, saying he win have nothing 10

he finds out whether he can fit him
self properly for a fight. Jeffries has
until tonight to cover it. according to
the terms of the negro.

solid for twenty weeks with theatrical
work. cannot talk shop until his engage

tween kaufman, Ketchel, O'Brien and

Kaufman Is booked TO meet Tony Ross at
the Fairmont Club on April IL in a ten
round contest, and until he is through with
the New Castle Italian there will be. moth
ing done to further a match with johnson,
who has already agreed to meet the big
Californian in u bout any distance. Kauf-
man, having posted his forfeit ahead Of
ketchel and being the only real heavy maII
who would stand q chance with the present
champion, Is entitled to first call, and The
friends of Kaufman and his manager, Billy
Delaney, ngur2 that Kaufman Is TOO game
and hits too hard for the champion and
that Al would beat him in a finish fight.
Stanley Ketchel has been matched to box
ten rounds with the heavy-hitting Sailor
Burke. before the Fairmont A. c., on April
20, the day before Sam Langford, the Bos-
ton black, sails for England to keep his
word with the National Sporting Club. But
that does not mean that Ketchel and Lang
ford will not meet in the ring between now
and next fall As a matter Of fact, Ketchel
is willing to make a match with Langford
under any fair conditions. He believes the
Boston negro would be easy for him.

THE VICTORY OF ST. YVES
AMAzES RUNNING FANS
More Races Will Probably Result Hayes Aston.
iShed All by His Game Iry--HiS
Sprint Was Too Late.

Hayes ran, and if he'd made his effort
a bit earlier he might have stood a
chance with Dorando. TO his prear-
ranged program he stuck closely, and
the fact that st. Yves, Shrubb, Doran-
do and Longboat were piling lap upon
lap INTO him didn't seem to disturb
him in the least. When he did light
out it was a pretty fight, though Il
losing one. At the finish he seemed to
have strength in reserve.
The unexpected result of the race will
do much. toward keeping alive the public
interest in the sport. The race served to
eliminate two men from the tirst-class
ranks. Before the contest started Alfred
Shrubb, the Englishman, announced that il
would positively be his last appearance
conclusively that his limit is fifteen miles.
M. Maloney was a disappointment to his
friends. After his victory over Pat White
he was looked upon as a dangerous con-
tender for Marathon championship honors,
but on the form he showed he cannot be
classed with st. Yves. Dorando or Hayes.
Hayes was unfortunate In permitting he
oyer contestants in the race to get SO far
ahead Of him in the early stages of he
contest. He made a plueky effort to regain
some Of the lost ground. and had he kept
within hailing distance of the leaders dur
ing the first fifteen miles, the result might
have been different.

The victory of St Yyves was the biggest

! Although he won the event by a hand

be a heady runner. His frequent spurts
were in the main uncalled for, and were
the result of poor Judgment. Much of the
success was due to his condition, which
was splendid.
Contrary TO general belief. no cham
pionship was involved In the race, and
st. Yves must beat several good men be-
fore he can claim the title. The race was
a closed one. the entries of Edward Cibot
and Louis Orphee, of France: John Swan

land, being refused. OF this quartet, Cibot
has the best claim to the championship

Sport lovers pretty nearly the world
over are still combining their converse
ton to the wonderful race run by
Henri st. Yves, of France. afthe big
Marathon derby on the Polo grounds
Saturday.
st. Yves was perhaps the darkest
dark horse that ever cantered in a
winner. When he started off in the
lead early in the game the knowing
mes smiled. He was just in the run
ming as a paccmaker, said they. You
could see his finish looming up along
about the twenty-second mile as big as
a house, and the chances looked good
1T would come sooner. With that dinky
little stride of his it looked as though
ne took three steps, for instance, TO
Shrubb's two-there didn't seem to be
anything else TO it.
= But there was strength and speed
and last in hat same dinkly little
stride. The erstwhile waiter in a Lon
don restaurant seemed to grow strong
er as the race progressed. and finished
the final Jap in a burst of speed that
was nothing short of marvellous. Never
did he show the least sign of distress
never did his speed falter.
st. WEISS form is good, of course,
but he isn't the pretty runner that
Shrubb is. He has more to carry around
than most distance You'd
take him for a 100-yard lash man,
rather than a Marathoney. at first
glance. Arms and legs and body are
chunky, and he isn't strong on height.
But he settled the Marathon question
in a manner that left no possible
shadow of doubt. There isn't a unne
in the world that is in his class today
for the distance. He proved himself
conclusively a champion of champions
in the classiest field of distance runners
that was ever assembled. Longboat,
Dorando, Hayes-not one 'of them all
in their best performance-ever ran
or could run like st. Yves.
But it wasn't the result the crowd
wanted. The wise ines in the bet
ting game rooted for Longboat. Nearly
everyone else felt his sympathies enlist
ed in the cause of Johnny Hayes, and
when Hayes was making his gains in
the last ten miles they just let loose
and yelled like mad.
1t was a plucky, heady race that

positively that every member of the
