Speedy Marathoner Travels
Distance in One Hour and
Three Minutes.
FRIEDMAN ISS SECOND
National Guard Athletes Fail to Show
Up, Only Fifteen Men
Starting.
BY CHIP, DUGAN.

Johnny Campbell, wearing the colors Of
the Memorial Athletic Club. won the ten
mile Marathon yesterday. held by that
club, in the fast time of l hour and }
minutes.
Jumping into the lead at the start
the little chap was never headed. and he
loafed on the way home. He was never
in danger of being overtaken. and had he
ran hard all the way, could have chopped
OF a couple Of minutes at least.
Friedman finished second, with Kicker
third. Mccormick finished in fourth
place. but was disqualified for catching
hold Of a wagon. He was awarded
medal by the judges for finishing, as the
wagon gave him little assistance, and he
crossed the finish line in good condition.
The National Guard A. A. A had nine
men entered in the race. but when the
time came for starting, mona of them
showed up. This is the first event of its
kind held under the auspices of the AM
ateur Federation. and unless the mem
bers Of the federation support each other
better than that afforded the Memorial
Club yesterday, the federation Is doomed.
Fourteen Memorial men started. with
Sweeney, of Catholic University, as the
only outsider. This was practically
closed event. as far as the men who
started was concerned. and as fedora
ton event, the race was a frost. But,
as Memorial Club race the Marathon
was q huge success, as not a hitch oc-
Cured throughout the long grind Ev-
erything had been taken care of, and
Coach Foley, of the Memorials. who
handled the race. deserves a great deal
OF credit.
Following is the official order In which
the men finished. and their time:

No Trades in Sight, Declares
the "OId Fox DENIES He
Will Swap Laporte.
SCHEDULE OUT THIS WEEK
Nationals Open at Home, Then Hit
the Road for a Long Stay.
Other Gossip.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Il am not going up to New
York for the purpose of trying tc
pull off any trades, and unles:
some manager comes along with
mighty good proposition there will
be little news of interest to Wash
ington fans except the announce
ment of the schedule" remarked
Manager Griffith last night.
The Old Fox, accompanied by
President Minor, will leave this
afternoon for Gotham to attend
the annual schedule meeting of the
American League. The gathering
will amount to very little more
than a gabfest and reunion. A
few of the moguls possibly will
talk trade, but it is doubtful if any
swaps will be made. AS Griff puts
it, Il am just going to pay my re-
spects to the American League.
That's about my only excuse for
attending the meeting.
There has been some talk that the Ma
tiOnals would use Frank Laporte in
trade. but this Griff emphatically denies.
He doesn't know of a first-class hard
hitting second baseman laying around
loose for whom he would trade the
Frenchman.
As has already been announced. the
New York Highlanders under the leader
ship Of Frank Chance will open the sea
son in Washington. playing a series OF
three games. The official list has not
been adopted. and will not be published
until Wednesday or Thursday. but 1t has
leaked out that the Nationals are to
meet but two Eastern clubs at the start.
and will then make a swing around
this end OF the circuit, returning home
for series against the other Eastern
clubs Then the team will hike West for
three weeks. so il behooves Griff to have
his bunch in good shape when the open

BY FORTY-YARD MARGIN

Good Time.
Special To The Washington Herald.

Special TO The Washington Herald
Boston. Feb. S.-Taking the lead from
the crack of the gun, the Georgetown
University relay team, composed of Ed
Horter, John Gallagher. Ed Stebbins,
and Bob TerwiIliger. easily defeated the
Holy Cross team at the B. A A. games,
the margin at the finish being about
forty yards.
Horter started for Georgetown against
Bringardner, OF Holy Cross. and opened
up a gap OF fifteen yards. Gallagher,
running second against Lee. easily held
the advantage left him by Horter. Steb-
bins, running third for the Blue and
Gray against Colleary. not being content
with the lead which had been given him.
set too fast a pace for his Holy Cross
rival and added ten more yards to the
gain which Horter gave his teammates,
this leaving Terwilliger, running anchor
for the Hilltop four, a margin of twenty
five yards, with Higgins, the fast little
Worcester runner, as his opponent Bob
Terwilliger increased Georgetown's lead
by about fifteen yards.
G. U. Alumni on Hand.
Georgetown alumni were there in num-
bers, and when Terwillager finished
forty yards in advance Of the Holy
Cross man, the Blue and Gray rooters
would not cease their cheering until sew
eral minutes after the race was finished.
With the announcement that the time OF
the Georgetown four was 3 minutes and
u seconds for the total distance, 15eo
yards, another, loud cheer went UP from
the galleries. This victory partly set
tied an old score against Holy Cross, as
the four from Worcester have been fin
ishing ahead of the Blue and Gray for
three or four years back
Bob" EIler added further glory to the
Georgetown institution BIZ taking second
place in the 45-yard hurdles. w. F. Por-
ter. of Yale. finished first: G. A. Brany,
of Dartmouth, winning third place. 1t
was thought by many who saw the hur-
dies race that had Eller not been in
jured at the Irish-American games on
Thursday evening he would have nosed
out first place over Porter.

The Nationals Chances.

II is perhaps bit premature to dis
cuss the Nationals chances for the COM
ing season. There is long training
siege ahead. and a dozen exhibition
games. A whole lot may happen during
the interim but there is this much to be
said: the frs. day the veterans show up
in Charlottesville every man will be in
shape, if reports are tu be credited.
This means that Griff's players realize
the importance of keeping in condition
the wear round. A pennant winner
means big money, and as the club I'm
ished second last year. there is no tell
ing what may happen this season.
Chick Gandil, who is already in the
Capital, looks ready now to don a uni
form. Tom Hughes. who has passed
the winter here, also looks great, and
shows the effects of careful living Wal
ter johnson and Mcbride never allow
themselves to get out of condition, while
letters received from Howard Shanks,
Clyde Milan. Danny Moeller. Bob Groom.
Carl CashiOn. Eddie Ainsmith, and 9TH
ers intimated that these players have
taken baseball seriously and will be
prepared to give the Washington club
the best they have in them, from the
start.
During the past summer Griff i'm
pressed upon his men the necessity of
keeping themselves in shape. His advice
vas: "A ball player who wants to sue
ceed will never allow himself to take on
weight or dissipate to any extent during
the of season. He owes it to himself to
be ready to jump into harness at a short
notice"
The writer ventures a prediction that
when the Nationals assemble in Char
1ottesville the first week in March that
the regulars will look so much better
@E.,, he tIo@ 80,
Grif has signed for a tryout will suffer
in comparison.

Boost for Connolly.

Chick Gandil, who is In our midst, has
a nice little boost for Joe Connolly, the
Montreal outfielder obtained by Griff in
the draft. Says Chick: This Connolly
can hit that ball all right and he Is
pretty fast, but does not get started
early in the season. He looked to me
like one of the best outfielders in the In
ternational League during my short stay
in that circuit
When he started in the spring he
looked fairly good, but 1t was not until
the season had gone a month that he
showed us he could hit ! believe he
has a chance to make good, and hope
he does, for he is a dandy little fellow"
Gandil, by the way, told the boys yes
terday of the operation. whereby he was
separated from his tonsils last fall. He
says he did not go under an anaesthetic,
but just sat in an operating chair while
a surgeon used a pair of long-handled
scissors and whitfield away T am
awfully glad / had the pesky things
taken out" added Chick, 'for they have
caused me a whole lot of trouble during
my sweet young life. feel SO good now

John T. Meany Says Runners
Now Registered VIII Be
Barred for Six Months.
FEDERATION Is WEAK
Only One Outsider In Memorial Run.
"BiF Johnson Signs
Contract.
BY @. w. SWAN.

'0The runners who are registered
in the A. A. u, and who took part
in the Memorial Athletic Clubs
ten-nile Marathon yesterday, viii
be suspended for at least six
months by the A. U. U.," said John
T. Meany, Washington's represent
ative on the registration board of
the South ATLANTIC Association, of
the A. A. U. last night.
THE A. A. u. had man at the
race, and the names OF all those
who started were taken. These
names will be sent to Baltimore,
and the registered men will be
called before the committee as soon
as possible. They will. be suspend
ed for at least six months, and
maybe a year." continued Mr.
Meany.
This means that Johnny Camp
bell, Curly, and several other Mar
athoners will be unable to. take
part in a sanctioned event for some
little time, as it is understood that
these men are registered in the
A. A. u.
When seen last night. Coach Foley, OF
the Memorial club, said that the A. A u
would have to take the first step in the
matter, and that the Memorials would
follow the Union UP. and the entire mat
ter would be settled once and for all.
I'VE do not want to disrupt the A. A
U. All We want is to be allowed to hold
our own events as We see fit, and not
pay a lot OF money into a body which
does very little for u.s. said Coach
Foley. Let the a. A. L. suspend some
OF the boys. and then a few things may
come to light about several other ath-
letes now registered in the Union
The men will be suspended for taking
part in an unsanctioned meet, and ac-
cording to the rules OF the A. A U. may
receive a suspension of a year Mr..
MeanyL has been following this run close
ly. and the case will be pushed to the
limit.

BIG GSCHEDULE
FOR {. i. Nine
Thirty-two Games Booked for
the Brooklanders This
Season.
TO TAKE NORTHERN TRIP
Red and Black Club to Play Vn-
. ginia, Yale, Navy, and
Army.

Manager John r. Lambert, of the
Catholic University baseball team, an
nounced yesterday that his schedule
for the season of 1918 was complete
and had been passed upon by the ath-
letic council of the Brookland institu-
tion. 1t is in every way one of the
most attractive schedules ever prepared
for the Brooklanders, comprising as
il does, practically all Of the represent
ative Southern colleges and many OF
the big Northern universities.
There are thirty-two games on the
list, and twenty-five of these are to
be played on University Field, which
fact will give the supporters OF the
Red and Black plenty of chance to
see their favorites in action.
In all. there are fourteen new teams
on the schedule. Seton Hall, Dickinson,
the Army, New York University, West
Virginia, University of South Carolina,
Cornell, Lafayette. Yale. Lehigh, Ursin-
us, Penn State. University of Virginia,
and Baltimore International League.
This will be the first season in long
time that Catholic University has open
ed the season away from home. This
opening game at Charlottesville will also
mark the beginning Of baseball relations
with the University of Virginia. While
the Brooklanders have been playing the
lads from the Old Dominion several
years in basketball. the two teams have
never met on the diamond
Charley Moran will again have charge
of the team, and he and Capt McDon-
nell have been making a quiet little can
vass through the University for new
material While neither one has issued
any statement in the matter, they seem
to be well satisfied with the result of
their investigations.

The Amateur Federation of the District

mortal ten-mile run yesterday, the first
Of its kind held under the auspices of
the federation in this city. Fifteen men
faced the starter. and of this number
fourteen were members OF the Memorial
Athletic Club. The lone outsider was
Sweeney, of Catholic University.
Nine men were entered by the National
Guard Athletic Association, and why
they did not start at least Is a mystery.
Capt. Edwards, one of the sponsors of
the federation. is in charge of athletics
at the National Guard gymnasium and
he will make a thorough investigation of
the matter.
Unless the members Of the federation
back up one another better than yester-
day, IT will not be a very strong body.
To allow a club to have fourteen or
fifteen men in a race is not saying a
great deal for the other members Of the
federation, as two associations who are

Man BUT LITTLE KNOWN
DIES WORTH $45,OOO,OOO

New York, Oct 9,-The estate Of
Benjamin Altman. president of the dry
goods firm of B. Altman & Co., who
died at the age of 70 years YESTERDAY
is said to amount to probably $4,000.
600. About a third of this wealth is
represented by art objects, of which
Mr. Altman had one of the finest pri-
vate collections in the country, pa :
ticularly in the line of paintings and
porcelains His real estate holdings
are valued at $20OO0,0OO.
Mr.. Altman was bachelor and had
led very secluded life, especially dur
ing recent years. DR.. Sachs, his ply
stefan, said that although Mr. Altman
was prominent as merchant and as =.
man of great wealth, it was doubtful
if there were one hundred persons n
New York, who knew him by sight
