BOSTON MARATHON
RECORD SHATTERED
Clarence de Mar Betters Tom
longboat's Mark in Run
From Ashland to ''Hub."

BOSTON, April 20.-A young but expert
enced runner, Clarence de Mar, of the
North Dorchester Athletic Association
won the fifteenth annual marathon of
the Boston Athletic Association yester-
day, covering the twenty-five miles over
the rolling road from Ashland TO this
city in the record-breaking time of
hours 81 minutes 80 80 seconds. The
former record. made four years ago by
Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian, was
2 hours "a minutes "a seconds. De Mar
fnisheS second last year.
Fred J. Madden Of South Boston was
a poor second by reason of an accident
two miles from the finish. Then came
Ed Fabore of Montreal. while Robert ].
Fowler Of Cambridge, another old timer,
was fourth.
De Mar ran a well judged race. for he
did not become a factor among the lead
ers until more than a third Of the course
had been run. He was indebted to AL
exis Ahlgren Of New York for setting
a lively pace for the first twelve miles,
and, then. as the field swung into the
boulevard at Auburndale. he rushed
through and challenged Madden and
pushed out in front.
In spite of two big hills. De Mar not
only drew steadily away. but hit up ne
pace, so that he captured former records
at minor points along the homestretch.
notably that at Brookline, held Fl ten
years by Caffrey. There We're times
along those crOwd-lned stretches to the
finish that De Mar seemed exhausted, but
careful handling freshened him up and
he gained steadily on Madden in the last
few miles.
Madden was dashing past Coolidge cor
ner, two miles from the finish. when an
automobile. in seeking to pass him,
nearly knocked him into the gutter. He
recovered in time to keep from being
passed by Fabore, who was coming up
rapidly.
The times of the four principal prize
winners were: Clarence de Mar, North
Dorchester. 2.21.:t3 3-o; F. j.. Madden
South Boston. 224.31; Ed Fabore, Mon

De ORC STILL HOLDS
LEAD IN POOL MATCH
His Advantage, However, Is
Constantly Shifting, Keogh
Squirting and SIumping
by Turn.

NEW YORK, April 2O-With his lead
increasing and diminishing by turns. AL
fred De Orc, the pool champion. furnished
an element of uncertainty in the second
nights play of his 6OO-point match
against Jerome r. Keogh at Doyle's rooms
last night. Whenever he appeared to
have gained insurmountable advantage he
would slump Unexpectedly and Keogh
would catch UP again.
Twice De Orc augmented his opening
night lead OF 30 points to 20 points or
more, only to have the comparative score
brought back to its original status. On
another occasion he was 80 counts ahead
and again lost all his added ground. Both
men were in much better form than Tues
day, and furnished pool of the spectac-
ular variety.
Keogh gave early promise Of cutting
down all of the lead the champion had
gained in the opening nights play. After
De OrO's break he picked out a successful
combination that left the balls well scat
tered and enabled him to pocket all 10.
He lost the second and third frames. but
came back with another Is in the fourth
and 13 in the sixth that left him with
in close hailing distance Of the cham
pion. The score was then 243 to o53 in
De Oro's favor.
De Orc began in earnest in the seventh
frame. and in steady, faultless fashion
ran II, ID. g. II. II and then topped these
high scores with three full frames in
succession. The game moved along rap
idly. the champion being at the table
most of the time. BY the close Of the
fourteenth frame De Orc had increased
his advantage to 80 points. and Keogh's
chance appeared hopeless. The tally
showed De ORC, 345: Keogh, 246
But the challenger had a surprise in
store for the enthusiasts. BY as clever
an exhibition as his rival had shown a
short time before. keogh pocketed all but
of the next Is balls, and De Oro's lead
was again down to 40.

otherwise the plan was to get I-ajeie at
first base.
All ball clubs have a stereotyped plan
OF defense for the hunt with a runner
on first. The first and third sackers and
pitcher play in for the ball. the second
baseman covers first base, the shortstop
goes to second and the left fielder takes
care of third base But HartZell got his
wires crossed when Lajoie laid down that
hunt He was playing half way between
first and second. Instead Of going to
first to take the ball he hiked for second
and coltded with Bobby Wallace, who
was headed for the same bag. While
Wallace and Hartzell We're rolling around
in the dirt the runner turned second base
and moved over to third. The play took
all the pep out of RUDE" He tossed
the glove in the air and "bawled' like
baby. The next man up hit RUDE
mile TO left center. Stone made the catch,
but the runner scored from third and
Cleveland won the game, 1 to O.
The Browns never got over that play.
IT took all the gimp and ginger out
of the bunch. Cleveland would have
made it six straight but for Barney
Petty. The Pennington wonder had the
Maps on his staff that year and could
beat them whenever he pleased.

Tom Hughes performance against the
New York team Tuesday should serve as
d lesson to the other pitchers. Hughes
is not a pitcher who as soon he gets
the ball from the catcher hurlS il back.
He is deliberate. gives every ball a GER
tain amount of consideration before pitch
ing it and never pitches one without some
purpose in mind. 1t was a pleasure to
watch Hughes size up the various bats
men. He would stand behind the rubber,
rolling the ball between his hands, look
ing the batter over and figuring on how
to fool him. If some of the local pitch
ers would realize that pitching requires
thought as we'll as speed and curves, they
would be more successful II has been
