and Henigan.
Henigan went away from hLs mark
with the intention OF leading from start
TO finish. He didn't want to follow any
pace. lie wanted TO make II for him
self. As soon as the pace had straight
ened out after the start he rushed to
the front. and was leading at the end OF
the first quarter mile. And he led at
the end of every other quarter OF a mile
but the last one.
While in front he sped along at a fast
clip. but not a record breaking one. for
the tim of the race was 81 80 40.
nearly two minutes behind the record.
II was fast enough for K~olehmGinen
and Kyronen, and too fast for the re-
mainder Of the field. As n result all
but the two Firms were far In hehind
him after the first two miles had been
covered. Kyronen and K~olehmainen ran
behind him. a yard separating each.
Henigan Sets Fast Pace.
Lap after lap. mile after mile this
trio sped along in Indian file. with Heni-
gan leading at n fast but steady pace.
Al the beginning of the eighth mile
Kyronen sprinted for the lead. lie got
II. hut held 1t only Tor an instant, for
Henigan went past him again In the
next few strides.
After hat squirt they returned to IA
steady pace for another lap. Then KY
ronen again took command. but as In
the previous lap held II for only "A few
strides. Each succeeding lap during
this mile Kyroncn's squirt met with the
anne fate as II did in the first two
laps OF the final mile. But in the
round next 10 the last Kyronen made
a more determined bid for the lead.
Half score Of times he sped past tIeni-
gan. but nineteen of these the Bostonian
came back after a short duel.
Rut each OF these efforts sappcd some
Of Henigan's speed and when the run
through the stretch came his courage
was there but his speed was missing,
and despite tho cheers and yells OF the
thousands who were urging him to n
| mlghtier effort he was unable to finish
better thar third.
! During the last half mile the crowd
went wild In its enthusiasm, They
climbed over the fences and ran over
the track and field like 30 many wild
Indians, Men who have seen distance
runs since the inception OF the sport In
America declared that never had they
seen greater enthusiasm displayed in a
long distance outdoor race The sum-

Annex National Titles

Two veteran athletes. Hannes Koleh-
maincn and Dick Rcmer. added to their
athletic fame yesterday afternoon at
Macomb's Dam Park, The Finn car
red an emblemless white jersey to Vie
tory in the national ten mile run n
retained his title and Remer won the
national seven mile walk.
Remer accomplished his feat In the
easiest sort of way. He outclassed
eleven other heel and toe artists and
won by nearly 800 yards in 53;39 3-5.
But 1t was entirely different with
Kolehmainen. For him to win he was
compelled to run his best and finish with
n burst Of speed that brought the TO-
900 persons who surrounded the oval
and stood on the yiaduct above the track
to a wild pitch Of excitement. Seldom.
II ever, did a race at this distance fur
nish such a stirring finish. At the end,
after a desperate sprint that lasted
nearly half "A mile, Kolehmainen was
only a scant ten yards ahead OF Willie
kyronen. the little Fin OF the Millrose
a. A., and Kyronen was only a triie
more han that distance in front of a
rugged little fellow named James Henl-
gan OF the Dorchester Club OF Boston.
G~eneraIship Helps Finn.
That the veteran Finn won was due
as much to his generalship as to his
great speed and stamina. He followed

that was almost a continuous sprint for
half a mile. While they were speeding
past each other a score OF times during
the last two laps Kolehmainen was re-
serving his speed for the ina drive.
This he let loose in the stretch and beat
out his little rivals.
While premier honors went to Koleh-

Henigan went tho hearts and applause

When the men We're called to the start

courage that only champions possess. and

gain Of 100 yards, about thirty more than
the entire Cornell eleven succeeded in
earning. He ripped through for three
runs Of sixteen yards. one Of twelve and
another Of ten.
There was no stopping him single
handed. and usually he squirmed through
three or four tacklers and then carried
Il few of them on his back for several
more yards. Aiding and aOa;t!nS the Ma

OPINION UNANIMOUS THAT HUGHES
 WILL BE THE NOMINEE AT CHICAGO

Hughes. In that event, it is obvious that there would be chance for them, all though the best opinion is that dark horse" would have a brighter opportunity to acquire the nomination.
 And of the so-called dark horses gos- sip more constantly names Warren G. Harding, the tkenynoter of the con vention, who in uneventful days is con tent to be a representative of Ohio in the Senate of the United States
 But were the convention to do other than nominate Hughes, practically every delegate would be surprise. To eliminate Hughes. it is apparent the '.old guard will require new strength. The Roose- veltians. to gain the nomination, must depend upon one speech, one speech as sensational, as electrifying in it's effect as the classic and successful effort oi William Jennings Bryan in 1896 It is admitted that none of the sons are surer than a 100 to 1 shot on the turf
 As a whole, therefore, the delegates are proceeding on the presumption that Hughes will be nominated. The one par. amount question now is:
 What will Roosevelt do?''

Declare Fort Was in Their Hands Wednesday. Gains for Turks Over Russians, Russians Over Germans and Germans Over British Recorded

Fort Vaux, lying some five miles north east of Verdun, which for weeks past the French had been stubbornly defending against terrific onsaughts by the Ger of the Teutons, according to Berlin. The men who defended the fortress to the last surrendered to the Germans who also captured large number of guns, ma chine guns and mine throwers.
 Paris, however, says the fort still was in French hands early Wednesday morn ing, but since then it had been impos- sble to communicate with the fort owing to the violence of the bombardment. Gains of considerable proportions by the Russians over the Teutonic allies by the Turks over the Russians and by the Germans over the British are record ed in the latest official communications from Petrograd, Constantinople and Lon don. In the region of Verdun violent artillery combats are in progress, while on the Austro-Italan line the Italians continue to hold the Austrians from fur them advances
 In the fighting from the Pripet marshes to the Roumanian frontier the Russians in their big offensive movement have dislodged the Teutonic allies from forti- fled positions and brought the aggregate of men captured up to about fl 900. They have also taken 77 guns, 134 machine guns and 49 bombs throwers. Among the men made prisoner are 300 officers. | Constantinople asserts that in Asia (Continued on Page TweIve)
