D's'l'e U tHct tnat STANLEY aDSO-
ll-ely asI ecd o Le on the scratch at
6:45 sharp he was few moments
late in arriving. However, 1t was
still quite light when the race was
started. Mayor Todd fired the shot
which released the two men and with
slow easy strides they circled the
track. Stanley setting the pace.
The excitement was intense and
the keyed up enthusiasm spiced the
air with keen anticipation for the
best race which was ever run in the
city. but which proved to be a tame
affair. About three-sixteenths of n
mile had passed when the strides of
Stanley was seen to lengthen out and
while the crowd held their breath he
gradually began to draw away from
the Indian lad. Saul appeared to be
oblivious to the fact that he was fall
Ing behind and he did not bat an eye
to show that he was worried or ap-
prehensive of the result Stanley ex-
tended his lead until he was almost a
half lap ahead of the Moqui boy. Then
he seemed to hesitate and the distance
between the runners began to shorten
In the fourth mile Saul overlook
Stanley and from that time on there
was no doubt as to the result.
In the seventh mile when the Ind
ian decided to again pass Stanley a
fierce struggle resulted which was won
by the Indian, the Dane not having
the ability to stand the terrible pace
which the local boy forced him into
to retain his lead This was a splen-
did test of the ability of the two run
ners and at this point Saul exhibited
himself as the master of the white
man. In the eleventh mile Stanley
fell from exhaustion, got to his feet
struggled on few yards and fell
again. He had run the last step
which was in him and he was suffer-
ing terribly. His pulse was yery
faint and he complained of pains from
his heart and stomach. When he
could talk he said to give the race to
saul and that he didn't know what
was the matter with him. Sunday
the Dane ran thirteen miles in splen-
did time but there seemed to be no
run in him last night
saul continued to run and his
trainers decided that 1t would be bet
ter to declare it fifteen mile event
and catch his time for that distance
rms was communicated to Saul while
on the run and he willingly agreed
although he would have been lust as
willing to finish the whole distance
as he was to quit at fifteen miles
He finished the last two hundred
yards with a whirlwind finish and
was almost suffocated by the crowd
which swarmed upon the field TO get
close view and congratulate the
clever little Indian boy The time
by miles for the first ten are as fol-
lows: 6:27, 7:O5. 6:O3, 6:l2. COS
6:22, 6:12. 6:1S. 6:27.
His time for the 5 miles is bour
"a minutes 25 3-5 seconds which is
not fast, compared to the time made
by national runners, but which Is a
remarkable performance In this alti-

that up from start to finish to canal
the time l made in the twenty miles
at seattle. The Indian is the hest
runner alive in a high altitude. The
thing TO do now is to match him in a
low altitude and see what he can do
l am sorry that did not make a bet
ter showing but 1t was not in me
sometime. maybe. we can meet In a
lower altitude and l will try to re-
deem myself. 1t was my heart. lungs
and stomach that bothered me and
what man can contend against diff
culties like these"
Saul said Il am glad / won l
