Texarkana Tex, July l.
Mr.. William Peet. Sporting Editor.
The Washington Herald.
Dear Sir: Ny Herald of July 10 arrived this
morning and, as usual ! Immediately turned TO
the sporting Page TO pcruss the most interesting
news Of the day. After devouring the account o.
the Nationals two victories and ninth straight win
l read your article about Ban johnson being in
town in company with Comiskey. Of the Chicago
White Sox and that their visit was unknown to the
has caused much excitement and speculation among
the Washington fans.
! am at a loss to understand why you unable
to the object Of their visit, for 1t is very plain
to me. Ar. johnson and Mr.. CoIniskey came To
see about making arrangements for accommodating
the great crowds which will see the Nationals and
Giants battle for the worlds championship next
fall; that's all. They already confident that
the Nationals will win the rennant, but do not
care TO come out with such opinion for fear 1t
will cause strife among the other clubs In the
league They are probably thinking about securing
the Ellipse and erecting temporary stands for the
big games
Before closing I wish to say that the Nationals
have quite a number Of rooters in this part Of the
country and we are all pulling hard for them. Our
leader among men and has instilled into the
hearts Of that remarkable bunch Of youngsters that
undyng spirit which is bound to win out
With best wishes Of continued s,ccesS to Clark
Griffith and his boys, i am,
One Of the faithful.

By Dint of Great Sprinting, Tn.
heralded Athlete Finishes
Just Behind Macarthur.

Stockholm, July A-The Marathon
classic of the Olympic games was won
by Il X. Macarthur. Of South Africa, to-
day with G. w. Gilshaw, also represent
ing South Africa, second. The winners 8
time was 2:J6:00 for the course of about
25 miles.
CASTOR strobino. Of South Paterson.
n. J.. an unheralded runner who scarce
figured to finish in the great race, up
held the United States by taking third
place after one of the most remarkable
sprints witnessed during the games. His
time was 2:3S:42.
Ten Americans Finish.
Although they lost the event. with the
exception OF one point. team honors for
the Marathon undoubtedly belong to the
United States. There were ten Ameri-
cans among the twenty-seven runners to
cross the finish line A grain of conso-
lation over the days work is derived
from the fact that Mathew ]. McGrath
won the hammer throw with toss Of
$50 feet, 5 inches, and c. C. Childs won
third in that event. McGrath's throw was
almost eleven feet beyond the previous
Olympic record.
In the big race the two South Africans
had a battle royal At the halfway
post they were running first and third.
respectively, with Nkohelamainen. the
Finn. in second place. When a few miles
from the finish the latter dropped out,
the struggle between the two teammates
began. At the finish Macarthur dropped
exhausted, but soon revived.
The famous event was run under ideal
conditions. and every American who left
here expecting to enter was away with
the starting gun.
Strobino Spurts.
the young New Jersey lad. who happen
ed to be in the race because friends at
home had sufficient faith in his prowess
to make up a purse and pay his ex-
penses to Stockholm, made his great
squirt. At that time he was in ninth
place. with some of the foremost rum
ners in the world ahead. He kept on
doggedly. increasing his pace. and grad
opponents. finally dashing across the line
just behind the South Africans. He is
hero tonight in the American camp.
Besides the events mentioned. the
American team won its heat in the l,6oO
meter relay race and James Thorpe. the
West Indian. won the high jump in the
Decathlon. with s feet 1-o inch.
Seventy athletes. the pick of the civil
lied world. were lined up at the tape
in seven rows of ten each when the
pistol cracked for the start. America
was represented by twelve runners. They
started at different PAGES. and over one
hundred and fifty yards separated the
first and last runners as they passed out
Of the inclosure. As the last disappear
ed from sight. a sigh OF relief passed
over the throng-the greatest event in
the greatest olympiad ever known was
on.

Cal" Says Athletics
Will Land the Pennant

the home grounds. and the majority feel
content to witness one or two games a
week and read about the others. But
every fan wants to see the big games
the contests that seem to figure most
prominently in the pennant race and
this often compels an attendance for
four days consecutively, to equalize
which the enthusiast may find 1t advis-
able to skip whole week Of baseball
when the attraction is not so great.
This makes great variation in the
size Of the crowds, and 1t often happens
that a mere handful OF people will be
on hand to see one of the best contests
of the season. II is this fact that
tempts the baseball club owners. who
are not in the game for their health.
to figure ahead on the probable outcome
Of games and the possible effect 1t will
have OF the gate. 1t is good business
to keep the race as close as possible so
as to keep up public interest is as many
different teams as possible. First divi-
sion teams always draw better than
those that are trailing along in the sec
ond bunch. and as visiting teams share
in the profits Of big crowds there is al
ways a monetary incentive to get up
front.
Here's a new one in baseball The
groundkeepers at the st. Louis Nation
ais park have gone on strike The fans
don't hear much of groundkeepers
They toll long and hard to make every
blade of grass stand up and look its
incest. They are at II long before any
fans get inside the park, and they are
again on the job after the spectators
and the players have left the scene of
strife.
1t is not often that they get bit of
praise. Ballplayers insist upon the
grounds being kept in as perfect con-
dition as possible, and the fans take
the pretty diamonds and the well-kept
outfields as a matter of course.
No one before. though, ever heard of
groundkeepers striking. The men en-
ployed at the Cardinals park have
done so because their salary was re-
duced. They had been receiving 81 per
day for their work, and when they
found that this had been reduced to
l.75 per diem they laid down their
tools and looked for other jobs.
With the Cardinals in seventh place,
the club management doubtless decid
ed that there must be retrenchment
along the line. AS the sal
aries Of the players could not be cut.
the poor groundkeepers had to suffer.
The Cardinals might do better by
making some the players cut the grass
and giving some of the boys who
helped to keep the park in shape posi-
tions on the team.

In the second game OF the White Sox

The Giants lead both leagues in hit
ting, run-scoring. and base-running. With
whole flock of pitchers up among the
first ten and Chief Meyers the leading
catcher. it is not strange that the Polo
Grounders are leading their league with
the highest percentage ever held by any
club at this stage Of the campaign.
