HEAT IS HARD ON
OLYMPIC RUNNERS
BY JOHNNY HAYES,
Winner 1908 Olympic Marathon, London.


STOCKHOLM, July 15.-In such ter
rife heat as Sundays here, a Marathon
race is a disgrace to civilization. Sew
enty-five men drove themselves to
state of insanity. Only thirty-five were
able to finish, and most of them were
demented. The temperature was
nearly 100. and stories of many of the
runners sufferings and what they did in
their deErium are too gruesome to be
ober DIVING one rd b is bes dead sy AND TR
American runners stamina is almost
unsurpassed belief.
The heat cooked the Americans in the
Marathon here. 1t was South Africa's
day. Americans cannot run in such
heat Indeed, the men from all the
cold countries wilted. The colder the
country the worse it's athletes failed in
Kolehmainen, the star Finlander, was
no better than our tail-enders.
Dropped Out.
Imagine the surprise of Ryan, sup
posedly one of the strongest COM
. petitors in the contest, when he dropped
out at Tureberg. nine miles from the
finish, to see such distinguished gath
ering lying wrapped in blankets on the
grass as Kolehmainen, Cookery, the
Canadian star; Ahlgren, the Swedish
hope; Green. the English champion; and
Barrett, another Britisher, who was
expected to finish in the front rank or
the runners. The whole party was
carried into Stockholm in an automo-
bile.
The heat affected the mems minds
six miles from the finish. Lilley. who
had come up from twentieth to sixth,
began walking and begged all the other
contestants, with tears in his eyes, to
walk.
Every one of our men has a story
to tell Of losing his head AS McAr-
thur passed, on his return towards the
stadium, he was frothing at the mouth
like a mad dog. And Macarthur Is
used to running in the heat.
Deserves Credit.
Strobino, who is a $50 machine ap-
prentice at South Paterson. N. j., de-
serves more credit than all America can
give him.
If the American runners had not been
in wonderful condition when they start
ed they would be in an awful mess
today. The fact that ten Americans
finished among the first seventeen next
to the two South African winners shows
characterized all our victories.
Heffron, who pushed Dorando to his
desperate effort that awfully hot day in
London, was a South African; the men
who won Sunday were South Africans,
and in any marathon run under bak-
ing sun, Southern athletes, used to run
ming in the heat will always show best.
In my opinion 1t is a great mistake to
run Marathons in the heat of the day
They should be run in the cool of the
evening. Ability to run in the heat is
no thorough test of an athlete. The test
Z Is brutal enough, as Sunday showed,
without imposing the handicap of heat.

AMATEURS BEGIN
SECOND SERIES

through the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and New Jersey.
After today managers of the various
teams In the amateur circuit will be
unable to register players for their
teams or add any names to their rosters
by transfer, according to the ruling of
the Amateur Commission. Rule II of
the bylaws. of the Amateur Commis-
sion constitution, expressly states this.
but. according to those who have closely
followed the doings of the commission.
this is apt to mean something or moth.
ing, as the case may be. So many
rules have been overlooked this year
that the managers are not concerning
themselves with the statute.
Earl Steele and Phil Buscher should
add considerable strength to the Loffler
team in the struggle for the leadership
of the Independence League pennant.
Both these players have been long iden-
titled with the amateur clubs. Buscher's
work for Cornell Company two years
ago being especially noteworthy. This
season he has pitched good ball IN all
the games in which he has started.
Loffler and Pepco will not hook up
together according to this weeks sched-
ule and the fans will be forced to wait
a week before there will be another op-
portunity to see the teams In action
against each other. Loffler will be with
catcher who will be out of the game for
some time on account of a split finger.
Just what difference 1t will make can
not be determined until the team plays
again.
The Northern Association youngsters
are putting up a good fight for the flag
in that league, and have shown some
fairly good games. The teams are for
the most part composed of young play
ers, who are apt to blow up at times.
The winner is calculated to give the
series. and may show some surprises.

Loss of Five Games
Shows Giants in Slump

ST. LOUIS. Mo, July 15.-The loss of
five games out of seven on the Western
trip proves conclusively that the Giants
are in slump. All of the clubs which
are in the lead at midseason expect a
setback. and the Giants are getting
just what they anticipated. Manager
McGraw has pushed his men to the
limit in the last Western and Eastern
campaign, and the club Is apparently
feeling the high pressure advancement.

Clark da Griff Is happy.

The ability to send in ten men in the
first twenty to finish in the Olympiau
Marathon run at the games yesterday
seems to establish pretty well the fact
that America is capable of developing
men of stamina and gameness at the
long distance. The fact remains, how
ever. that products of Great Britain
won the race for the two South Afri-
cans are Englishmen.

With Metropolitan and the First
Presbyterian teams playing in the East
Washington Sunday School circuit, the
league begins on the second series OF
the year. Ninth was declared winner Of
the first half of the series. and the
teams start again on an even footing
1t Is understood that Ninth will not
have the strength in the second series
that at first obtained. and that the true
strength of the league teams will be
seen after the first few games. Ninth
has had a walkaway in the first part
of the season, and is looked upon to
other teams now In the circuit.
The schedule agreed upon for the sec
ond part of the series is as follows:
July l5-Metropolitan Presbyterian VS.
First Presbyterian.
July 16-Ninth VS.. First Methodist
Protestant
July 17-Ninth VS.. First Presbyterian.
July 1S-First Methodist Protestant VS..
Metropolitan Presbyterian.

July 27-First Methodist Protestant VS..

The winner of this series is to play
the Ninth team series of three games
for the championship of the league.
Should Ninth win the series now pub
