ARMS COMPANY
 WORKERS TELL TIME BY RUNNER
Police Officer Training for Baseball Scrap Is Punctual
 MarathOner.

Residents of Orchard street and the upper East Side, in the vicinity of Old Mill Green. and employees of the Arms company who have seen a husky six footer, clad in heavy red sweater and old trousers. running over the roads in that vicinity about 6:3O o'clock every morning for the last couple of weeks, have had their sus- picions Justified when it developed that Lieutenant "BilT' O'Leary is the marathoner and is putting the finish ing touches to his training course so that he will be in first class shape for this Saturday. He will then caVort about the baseball diamond at Pleas ure beach as one of the mainstays of the Tigertown Tigers in the clash with the Matorsville nine at the Po- lice Sick Benefit association field day.
 Every morning early Tlsers nave witnessed this heretofore mysterious individual hopping over back fences on Arctic street until Orchard street was reached and then start at mile a-minute" clip up Orchard street. Af- ter a few turns around Old Mill Green, he would start up the road leading by the old almshouse and after run ing several miles across the helds, would retrace his course back to Arc tic street.
 So systematic was the time ooserv- ed by "Dorando," as the Arms com pany employees have begun to desig- nate him, that many of the muni- ton workers believe someone was in training for a marathon. The old white head bobbed up and down reg ularly every morning and the Arms workers now can tell whether they are early or late for work by looking for the runner, as he scarcely var jed a minute any day since starting the course of training. One of the Majorsville policemen, hearing of the mysterious individual was up bright and early Monday morning and dis covered that Lieutenant O'Leary was the person guilty of creating all the hub-bub. He passed the word on to his teammates and thought they are making great efforts to chide OLeary the latter takes it all in and just tells them to wait until Saturday and see the results of his training stunts.
