AMERICANS EAGER TO
WIN MARATHON EVENT
Long Distance Runners Deter
mined to Capture Race.
Local Athletes Not Willing to Admit
They Have Less Stamina Than
Firms, Esthonians, Swedes,
Italians and Others.

There is a growing determination on
the part of long-distance American run
ners to win the next marathon event in
the Olympic games at Paris in 1924.
Americans are not prepared to admit
that they have less stamina than Films,
Esthonlans, Swedes, Italians and 9th
ers who have been doing so well at the
long-distance game.
1t has been pointed out, however,
that marathon running has not been en-
couraged in this country in recent
years, as 1t has in the past Not only
are there not enough races at the full
distance and at properly graduated dis
tances, but these races are not properly
placed on the years pro ~am so as to
insure giving every aspirant chance
under careful supervision.
Another matter that has troubled
those who even now are ready to pre-
pare for the Paris event is the fact
that at present the American long-dis-
lance races are not restricted to bona
fide American citizens It is Of no help
to the game in this country to have the
important American marathonS won by
foreigners, who will be unable to repre-
sent this country in the Olympic games.
There is a definite movement under
way, therefore to limit these races to
American citizens.
In' the last Olympic American run
ners We're compelled to compete against
foreigners who had already defeated
them in races on this side Of the water.
The effect Of this on the morale of the
runners is unmistabable They might
have had more confidence In their own
ability had they been meeting strange
runners only, no matter how good. AS
it was, the Americans made an enyia-
BILE record. and had the event been a
team affair there would have been a
great deal more credit coming to this
country.
Marathon running in this country Is
almost exclusively poor mans game.

to run in important races, in a lot of
them, and to win frst-cIass prizes. They

with building up an American Olympic
team are watching them closely and
are keenly interested in their work.

new members for the Legion.
William p. O'Connor is a fighting
type, and his thirty-three years are
full of interesting experience. Born
in Dayton, O., he attended the public
and parochial schools and was gradu-
ated from st. Mary's college, now the
University of Dayton, in 1908 He
was graduated from st. Mary's sem

National Guard organization which
later became the One Hundred and
Thirty-sixth Field artillery of the
Thirty division. He sailed
with this organization for France in
June, 1918. The ship, before complet-
ing the voyage, rammed a German
submarine which later was sunk by
destroyers.
Father OConnor served with his or
ganization in the Baccarat sector and
later at st. Mihiel, the Meuse- Argonne
and in Belgium. After the armistice
he proved his versatility by arranging
for the production of "The Passing
Show of the A. f. F." one of the best
soldier shows presented overseas.
The national chaplain obtained first
hand information in regard to the
feelings of newly discharged veterans
when he served for time with ma
tional headquarters Of the American
Red Cross. Later he became pastor
Of a church at jamestown, O., and
subsequently was transferred TO his
present charge, the church of st. Vim
cent de Paul in Cincinnati.
He served as a member Of the Lee
gion's national ceremonials committee
in 1921, which drew up the ceremo-
malls which have been used by an
Legion posts. In all clashes Of relig-
ious creeds and dogmas, Father O'Con-
nor has been noted for his marked
liberality and liberation.
