BETTING ON MARATHON RACE.
Johansen and Liungstrom Are the
 Favorites.

At the Marathon race at the Polo grounds Saturday. Tim Hurst, the we'll known umpire, will be referee. The judges will be Thomas F. Foley, John J. Murphy. and George F. Considine. The New York Timers club have charge of the timing of the race. The track for the event, as in last years contest, will be laid out six laps to the mile. Sparrow" Robertson will have charge of this duty and an official sur veyor will make affidavit that the dis tance Is absolutely correct. As the distance of the race is 26 miles 3S5 the circuit of the track 157 times and an extra 215 feet. In order that the lays may be scored to the finish line. the start of the race will be made 275 feet back of the finish line.

Fred Meadows is second choice. at 2 1-2 to 1, even and out. Jim Crowley and Paul Acoose are priced at 5. and even

If the speedy Canadian does not start the odds will tighten some, the Hertberg stable changing to even money to win. out for place and out for show. with the other competitors shortening in proportion.

It was the completion of this selling which opened the way for some recov- cry and prompted the outstanding shorts to cover. The sudden death of Justice Brewer could not fail to re- ceive active discussion. in view of the vital interest of great corporate in terests in cases pending before the court. The influence of the event on the market was unfavorable. The sub stance of Justice Brewers opinion in the Northern Securities case, while cOncurrfng in the majority decision, had marked him out as the figure like ly to carry the balance of the court to the side of a limited construction of the antitrust law in the pending cases. The suggestion that the va cancy on the bench might involve a retrial of the American Tobacco and Standard Oil cases also was not rel ished.

KELLER KING BATsMAN.
All Pitchers Looked Alike to Willie
 What Hurst Said.

He was the king of right f1elders. He stood alone in the game. When he was risyiDg with Ned HanIon over in Brooklyn he was regarded by all ball players as the most scientific bat ter in baseball Looking from any angle, batting, fielding, and base run ming and brain matter, it is doubtful if there ever was a more valuable man to a baseball team than William Keel CT, who has been given his uncondi- tional release by the New York Amer jeans, says writer in the New York Globe
 Bill hasn't decided on his future plans. but don't be bit alarmed if he puts his little bat on his shoulder and helps Bill Dahlen outs in Brooklyn. Then don't be surprised if Wee Willie" is seen strutting around the Polo grounds.
 Unquestionably much of KeeIer's eve. He would stand up there in his own way with that rolling pin and never move away from the dish. If he got one he liked he took a crack at it. Fielders for years tried to find out his weakness and how to arrange the in and outfield in order to stop him from making base hits and breaking day there was a game which Tim Hurst was umpiring- Keeler let one go and Hurst called a. ball. The catcher made roar, claiming strike.
 How can you call anything like that a ball?" was the question put to Tim.
 Anything that Kee1er doesn't strike at Is ball?" was Hurst's rejoinder. That's the regard urnpires had of Bill and his good eye in gauging deliveries.
 We all know what the answer was Keeier gave when he was asked the

secret of his hitting ability. It was, T hit them where they aint."
 'I never saw a ball player who could go up and hit all kinds of pitching like Keeler could" said Hughey Jennings one day. He had four hits one day in Detroit. One was slammed in right field, the next over second base and the other just past the third sack. and batter by laying one down and beat ing ;t out. He was a wonder
 Since Willie has been on the hill top, where he went in 1903, he has been of great service to the Yankees. He has done a great deal for the American league, and for this reason Frank Far rell, the owner of the New York Amer jeans, gave him the unconditional re- lease in order that he could do as he pleased. It is the intention of Stalling to have nothing but young blood around the Broadway grounds. Keeler admits that they have been beating him a step or two the past two years. and that he could discover that he wasn't as fast as he used to be- But wouldn't he be a very handy one to have around?
 Tom Lynch had the following to say about Keeler at the baseball meeting at the Waldorf:
 There is one of the gentlemen of baseball, and I had him tabbed that way all the time. There is no use telling what a good ball player he was. I would like to get a man like Keeler to umpire for me- and when 9le leaves the game he can come to me and say the word and he can have the job"
 It may be that Keeler will consider that sort of a position.
 We have told over and over again how Keeler stands in the financial line. He has his money invested in real es- tate in Brooklyn and was one ball player who thought that the day would come when a bank roll would be the proper thing.

TROLLEY MAGNATES HERE TODAY
New Baseball League will Have Meetns-Who will be
 Sixth Town to Place Team-Klaus Knocks Out MantelI-Other Sports

Local baseball circles are due TOT a stir-up this afternoon, for the mag mates of the new Connecticut Baseball association, or Trolley league, are to convene here for meeting. Secretary Henry w. Tibbits of the Board of Trade, himself an enthusiastic baseball man and actively interested in 1899 in keeping the old Norwich team here,
 has kindly proffered the use of the
 Board of Trade rooms for the meet
 ing of the magnates, which will be held at ? o'clock
 It Is expected that each of the five towns-Norwich, New London, Willi- mantle, Middletown and Rockville will be represented, and one of the chief things about the meeting will be to hear a report whether another place has been secured to make the sixth team in the league. It is said that there will be a proposition from Meriden parties.
 It is also expected that Secretary Fisher of Mtddletown may have a ten tative schedule to submit for discus sion. All the managers are reporting no lack of candidates aspiring for places on the team, each magnate hay ing bunch of applications a foot or two high on his desk.
 Rockville was the last town admitted to the league. but it seems a question whether the Rockville people are awake to the fact that they are to have a team in the Trolley league. A Middletown paper has the following about the baseball situation in Rock vile:
 Inquiries in local baseball circles fail to disclose anything definite in the way of baseball plans for the coming sea son, and while 1t was the general be- Eef earlier in the season that Hartford parties would put a team in the field with two games a week at Hyde park, there seems to have developed some doubt as to the final arrangements be- ing made. And 1t remains a. question as to whether there will be any base ball outside of that furnished by the All-Rockvilles. The locals under Dr. J. E. Flaherty have planned busy season and some good games with fast teams are assured

LON MYERS GREATEST
 ON GENDER PATH.
Champion in the sprints as We'll as the
 Runs.

There have been some wonderful sprinters and runners In this country and England, but the greadest. most followers of track athletics will agree. was Lon Myers. Some brilliant "men
 have worn the spiked shoe and there are stars today who are shining bright ly, but there has been and there Is no Myers today. This fellow was a cham pion in the sprints as well as the runs and there lies the difference between him and others who have won records
 and fame on the cinder path Many runners can do good time in the 100
 yards dash, and many sprinters can
 run a. fast half mile, but when a. man makes records all along tine line from
 the dashcs to the distances that is an-
 other thing, and Is something only
 holds the worlds records for the 60
 yards dash and the 1000 -ards run, and these performances were made over 2S years ago.
 ner and whatever feat some man may do 4n one event it is doubtful if any thing will ever be done to equal the wonderful performances of the old timer through q wide series of events. Myers name came up during a running bee the other day with C. H. Fitzpatrick of Chicopee Falls. who holds the col legiate record for the half mile run worlds amateur record for the same distance. Fitzpatrick did 1.s3 2-6 sec onds in 1895 and this mark stood until Emilio Lunghi reduced 1t to 1.52 4-5 at Montreal Last September. During the conversation Fitzpatrick spoke of the wonderful performances of Myers and placed him as the greatest of all track men. A glance at the career of the by- gone star will explain this.
 Five worlds records that stand to- day were made by Myers and these are: 50 yards, 2-5 seconds made in 1892; 33o yards, 35 seconds. made in
Norwich bulletin., 1910-03-30

1881; 660 yards, 1.22. made in 18soi
 the 800 yards. LA 2-6, made fin 1882.
 and the 1000 yards. 2.1s. Myers was
 the American champion in the short clashes around 1879 and 1880 and from '7s to 's4 was the best in the country
 at the quarter mile run. He did tho
 100 in 10 1-4 fin 1881, and the same year went the 220 in 23 I-2. Those two for those distances. It was in that year that he made his record, which stands today. for the 33o yards, and that year he also did the quarter mile American champion in 1879. 1880 and 1884, and his best time for the dis bance was POI 1-2; as a sample of ehe wonderful ability of Myers. ft may ba record for the 10oe yards run and the 330 yards dash the same season.
 When Myers first came into promi- hence as . runner he weighed just 100 in his running shoes. Later he filled out bit. so that well along en hts career he carried 136 pounds. Buf on the occasion of his debut Myers was as frail in appearance as 1t ts possible to imagine. Myere' frst great race. in which the whole athletic world took a vital interest was run later in 1876 at Livingston, $. l.. at the championship meet of the Staten Island Athletic club. He was entered in the handicap guar ter against Ed Merrill, then the cham pion, and apparently unbeatable. Myers received 20 yards by the handicsppsr. but when he walked to the mark re- fused to take it and secured permfs- sion from Father Bill Curtis. the ref cree. to start from scratch with Nerriil a piece of aadscious boyashnees, the spectators thought. But Myers knew what he was doing and probably never was in better condition than on tfla6 hot afternoon. With the pistol Myers was off like shot, Merrill trailing him closely. They picked up the long mark men with ridiculous ease and tore into the home stretch neck and neck and stride for stride. Twenty yards from the finish Myers fairly stre aAted down the path and beat the chanpionsby two yards. Merrill collapsed and was un~ for half an hour, having been run off his feet by @ boy who, though slight, showed never a trace of fatigue.

Miller Signs Mcintyre and McGrath.
 Manager Miller strengthened the out look for his Greeneville team of the City league by signing two fast men this week in Jupes Mcintyre for center garden and J. J. McGrath captain of the Mystic team for short. Jupes is just back from Torrington, and his local friends will be pleased that he is to stay Eere for the ball season. Miller will find him valuable man in the outfield, as well as a good bunter and base runner. The other teams will have to go some to dig up a short stop in McGrath's class
 Miller is now looking for a game next Sunday and challenges any team that wants to cross bats with him. He has twice written to the Westerly league team for a Sunday date, and is thinking it is about time they an- Swered
