The second issue of the Marathon, the
semi-monthly publication of the Birming-
ham Athletic club, has appeared.
It contains all the news relating to the
club, and to athletics in Birmingham,
Alabama and the south
1t contains the photographs of the bas-
ketball team of the club and of E. J.
Hilty, the popular member who died some
time ago. 1t is newsy and gossipy.
The first article in the paper is entitled,
1.-The Rise and Fall of Johnny Hayes,
and the writer draws lesson The ar
tcle in full follows:
"Only few months ago the Queen of
England summoned John j. Hayes, an
American youth, into her presence, and,
before $1,000 cheering people, crowned him
with a laurel. He had won the Olympic
Marathon.
''All America awaited his home coming
with outstretched arms Brass bands met
him on chartered tugs down the bay, and
at the pier he was cheered by thousands
and borne away on the shoulders of lovers
of athletic sport. He was banqueted laud-
ed and crowned with all the glory of
modern hero. Wherever he went the peo-
ple said, Look! There is the winner OF
the Marathon!

from Johnny Hayes Story

But Hayes lost his head. He surren-
dered his position as a $40 clerk in a de-
partment store and took apartments in
the Vanderbilt hotel. He signed con-
tract to appear on the vaudeville stage.
He resigned the Irish-American club, an
organization of amateurs, and treated lit
tie Dorando with contempt.
There was no surprise, therefore, when
he lost the second Marathon and to him
self alone can he lay the blame for his
present miserable plight He walks the
streets of New York ashamed, with head
bent and with eyes turned from his fell
lows. The entire day he spends in his
room with his face between his hands,
miserable practically an outcast. No long
er is his name cried throughout the streets
of the world

Fall of Johnny Hayes there is an excel
lent lesson. 1t is so plainly written that
no mention of it's various points is neces-

not let your head become too large for
your hat, and keep on working.

The result of the contest was never in

plenty of spunk, and never gave up until
the whistle ended the second half. They
never seemed able to get together, how
ever. and their pass work lacked the
snap and ginger which the club had in
abundance They were off color for the
night. although the strange floor was OF

The game was full of beautiful plays

Atlanta. January Especially 1.-The
10 best golfers in the south rank as FOL
lows:
/. Nelson whitney, New Orleans.
2. Chandler Egan, Louisville.
g. George Oliver, Birmingham
a. Wick Richardson, Memphis.
s. William Stewart, New Orleans.
G. Laurence Eustis, New Orleans.
T. Robert Baugh, Birmingham.
8. Leigh Carroll, New Orleans.
g. f. G. Byrd, Atlanta.
10. Jack Darlington, Memphis.
On the two last named there is not
the difference of half stroke in
dozen rounds.
If an eleventh and a twelfth name
were to be added they would be Charles
Nelson, Louisville, eleventh. Andrew
Manson, Darien. Ga, twelfth
Before proceeding to try to justify
that ranking it must be emphasized
forcibly that only men who took part
in the southern championship or one
of the big southern invitation tourna-
ments were considered. This let out
sucb men of known ability as Albert
Schwarts of New Orleans first southern
champion. and Ellis Knowles Of PEN
sacola. Fla, an intercollegiate perform
er of high merit.
The first four positions were easily
filled and the correctness of the rank
ing can easily be demonstrated The
next four were the subjects of consid-
cradle figuring. After that 1t was
toss up and whoever were put in the
last position probably didn't belong
there.
Nelson whitney was ranked first be-
cause he won the southern champion
ship. 1t is a fixed rule of ranking to
give the championship winner first
place. and it is here done; with the
runner-up in the championship IN sec
cond place. 1t is not certain in the
minds of many golfers that Chandler
Egan is not better player than Nell
son Whitney, but the fact remains that
he did not demonstrate in the Mem
mis- championship. Unfortunately
whitney did not take part in the Louis
vile invitation tournament, which was
the only other southern event in which
Egan played, and which the ex-national
champion won.
George Oliver has the best claim on
third place. In the qualifying round he
tied with whitney for eighth place
with an SO. Then he plowed through
w. r. Johnson. William Stauffer and
r. f. Baugh, good players all of them
only to lose to Whitney, the champion
in the seni-finals. oliver is one of the
most a.eful players in the south and
has steadily advanced to high posi-
ton.
William Richardson, Scotchman
Who max es Memphis his home at pres
ent, has the best claim on fourth place
He tied sixth place in the qualifying
round with an so and went to the
senni- finals. In doing so he had to play
a II TO defeat Laurence Eustis, which
set a new record for the Memph Is
course Egan beat him in the semi
finals playing a 49, to accomplish it.
1t took some doping to locate Will
liam Stewart of New Orleans in fifth
place. but there he undoubtedly be-
longs. He tied for third place in the
qualifying round of the southern cham
pionship, with an so; defeated Andrew
Mannon, twice champion, in the first
round, and was put out in the second
by Whitney.
Laurence Eustis drops to sixth place
in this years ranking, due chiefly to the
fact that he practiced but few time'

VALLEY STATE BANK
 DEPOS|TORS PAID Accounts Settled Through First National By
 Commissioners
Nearly Hundred Thousand Transferred to the Two National Banks In Fl centro the First Day--onIy Small Amount of Currency Taken Away.

Bank Comimssioner Sherer came to Fl Centro on Wednesday morning and made final arrangements for paying off depositors in the Valley State Bank, closed about a month ago by the State Bank Commissioners. Messrs. Carter and Lathrop had secured ample funds to pay all depositofs and by order of the Bank Commissioner the money was placed in the First National Bank of El Centro, and accounts were paid through that institution.
 The payment of creditors began at the opening of banking hours on Thursday morning The total liabili- ties of the Valley State Bank amount ed to $140,000, and by the close of business hours on Thursday trife more than s97,OO0 had been paid to depositors.
 Of this amount, about $6O,O00 was redeposited in the First National Bank by former Valley State Bank patrons, and from $15,000 to $20,000 was placed in the El Centro National Bank. Some deposits went to Imper- ial and few to Brawley.
 IL is ectimated that of the $97,00 paid out on Thursday, not more than 5000 was taken away in currency, the balance finding its way back into the bank channels at once.
 Payments were continued yesterday and 1t is the belief of those in charge of the payment that the bulk of the settlements will have been made at the close of business hours today.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY.

County physicians have been eX- pressing surprise at the remarkable recovery of Porfilio Hernandez, the Calexico Mexican who fell into a fire several weeks ago and whose back from shoulders to hips, was horribly burned. He was brought to the Cen tral Hospital, at El Centro, for treat ment, and Dr. Virgil McCombs, County Physician, made many gratis of skin on the burned section. The greater part of these began new growth and there now remains only spot about four inches wide which has not healed. The patient is able to move about the hospital and grounds, and will soon be discharged.

SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
One Graduate For Central High Schools First Year-Exercises
 to be Held in the Holt
 Opera House.

The first commencement exercises of the Central Union High School will be held on the evening of Thursday, June 10, in the Holt Opera House. The school will have one graduate this year, Miss Fern Campbell.
 The commencement address will be delivered by District Attorney John M Eshleman. A fine musical pro- gramme will be rendered, and num- bers will be given by the High School music class, led by Miss Janice Mere dith.
 A reception to the graduate is to be given by the school on Friday eve- ming, June 8, and arrangement of de- tails for this affair has been placed in the hands of student committees.
 The attendance at the High School has been well maintained for this year. An attendance of thirty-five for the past month shows the sustained interest of the students. It is believ- ed the large number of pupils grad uated from the eighth grades of the county schools and the natural growth of the city and High School district will bring an enrolment of close to 100 students at the opening of next years school work.

 Mexicali's Sunday observance was edifying variously. Besides the ser vices already described, there were cock fights, rough and tumble Indian scraps, drunken Indians, Mexicans and Gringos, and an impromptu dog fight.
 A stalwart young Indian buck elaborately attired in his Sunday coat of paint and full of mescal, filched bottle of chloroform liniment from someone's hip-pocket, and assuming that anything in bottle must be pot able, he drank it. An hour later he was lying on the ground close by the path across the line, and white man was trying to revive him. The crowd passed by on the other side as stolid- ly indifferent to the dying Indian as 1t had been to the gored bullfighter, and two or three squaws giggled childishly at the efforts of the good Samaritan to succor the poor devil of Red Man that had fallen among the thieves of civilization.
 The impressario of the bull-ring was desirous that the newspapers should publish a full and realistic de- scription of the goring of the ban derillero. He thought 1t would adver- tise the sport and increase the at- tendance at future exhibitions. Per haps he might be willing to guaran- tee the killing of a man every Sum- day.
