I Near Unconsciousness

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA. June 9.-Milk war ter
rorists today made good on their
threat of something worse" by kid
naping and beating Carl Kaplan INTO
near Inconsistencies with leather
straps.

Picked up near the scene OF the
attack early today, Kaplan showed a
badly lacerated back and hips and
said the men beat him until they
became too tired to whip him more.
He told police he could identify them.
Several days ago brick was thrown
through Kaplan's window with note
threatening something worse" if he
did not stop selling milk below price
agreed upon by most of the dairies in
Fulton (Atlanta) and adjoining De-
kalb County.

This water, which the Beverley
runners described as the best in the
world, was administered by the Boston
professor and several trainers in an
automobile. The professor, they said,
hurt his ankle in race, and since
his enforced retirement has been a
trainer" at every marathon he can
manage to attend.
Many Of the runners were accom-
panied in automobiles by friends of
trainers" who gave them water and
orange juice between the stations
maintained by Red Cross helpers and
Boy Scouts.
Several Washington friends of
Komonen, who also were natives Of
Finland. drove Just in front of him
as he led the field from start TO
finish From time to time, one of
them would leap from the running
board OF their car, race alongside
Komonen and hand him a cup OF
water.
Maintains Even Stride.
Komonen would catch up the cup,
dash the contents over his handker-
chief-tied head end toss it to the
pavement without once breaking his
even. rythmatic stride. Komonen had
put 10 or IL miles behind him before
he took a swallow of the water.
As Komonen increased his lead
over the field. an escort of admiring
small boys on bicycles fell in behind
him The motor cycle police did their
best to drive them off, but they had to
keep the pace. and the youngsters
would dart away into the traffic only
to return a moment later. 1t was
a one-man race SO far as the BIZ
cyclists were concerned, and the police
could do very little about it,
While many elderly men entered. It
was the younger contingent which
crossed the line first. Komonen at IS
was the oldest Of the first three Nell

70-Year-OId Mayor Roots.
One Of the most enthusiastic rooters
when Komonen sprinted across the
finish line to break the record was
George w. Tracey, 7o-year-old mayor
Of Kinderhook. N. Y. who explained
that he was an old marathon runner
himself, having done 100 miles in II
hours.
That was in Philadelphia back In
1901, the mayor of Kinderhook was
moved to recall. He won the race
over l27 starters and still keeps In
shape.
The mayor parked his umbrella and
hoped up and down as another run
ner came in. Those are runners
young man." he exclaimed, "just like
was runner in my day why say
I can run a mile right now without
training :"
The mayor, he added, is an EN-.
ploye of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. He doesn't have to work
at being mayor, since the job pays
nothing and the citizens are quite
content to let nonresident retair
the title.
The mayor added his congratula.
tions to those being showered upon
the winners and remained until the
final stragglers came putting over the
finish line.

BiIateraI Discussions to
Prepare for Conference to
Be Held This Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 9-Bilateral discus
Sions in preparation for the 1885
naval conference, which are regarded
with frank pessimism by Japanese
quarters here, will begin late next
week with talks between British and
American representatives.
Norman H. Davis, United States
Ambassador at Large. and Rear Ad-
miral Richard H. Leigh will assist
Ambassador Robert w. Bingham in
discussing the subject with British
statesmen, probably Capt Anthony
Eden, lord privy seal. and members
of the American section Of the foreign
office.
Anglo Japanese conversations will
follow, and American-Japanese dis
cussions will then take the center of
the diplomatic stage.
Groundwork Laid.
It was stated authoritatively that
Eden, Davis and Naotaki Sato, jap
anese negotiator. had met at Geneva
a number of times during the past
week and ''unoficially' laid the
groundwork for the diplomatic ex-
changes.
While France and Italy have not
yet formally accepted invitations to
join in the discussins, they were ex-
pected to do SO later.
Officials in close touch with the
situation reiterated that Russia and
Germany will not be invited either to
the preliminary discussions or to the
1885 conference.
Assurances Not Given.
While some quarters talR this to
mean that political questions will be
prohibited in the conversations, it Is
known that no definite assurances
have been given as yet to any inter-
ested power that such questions will
not be raised.
The Japanese, one London spokes-
man said, are expecting no results
from the preliminary discussions.
Moreover. he added, The world can
be sure the conference of 1885 will be
doomed unless the powers are willing
to consider Japan's defensive needs.
This was taken as a further indica-
ton that Japan is ready to seek naval
parity with the United States and
Great Britain, rejecting the present
$50 ratio.

VI there they we're SO sportsmen

foot race 26 miles long.
Love OF the sport, coupled with
something none Of the runners could
quite lay tongue to, had brought them
from all over the United States and
Canada.
Some OF the favored had come by
train and auto. others via the thumb
route" and few even rode the rods
for the privilege Of running yester-
days gruelling marathon from Mount
Vernon.
why do you do it?" some one
asked Dave Komonen of Sudbury,
Canada. who yesterday won the race
for the second time.
Talks Through Interpreter.
Komonen, a native of Finland. re-
ceived the question through an inter-
prefer. A broad grin spread over his
face. and he spoke few quick words
to his fellow countryman.
"Komonen says We marathon guys
are so crazy we'll do anything for
fun"
The runners were to have gotten
away yesterday at the boom of an
ancient cannon. 300 years old. New
England whaler captains once had
used 1t to signal their crews
1t was supplied by local antique
dealer. who also was member OF
the Race Committee. Other members
thought it advisable. however, to test
the piece before starting 80 men on a
26 mile 385 yard race with it.
Touched off. the cannon swung
on its moorings and emitted such a
roar 1t was laid aside in favor of
the conventional starting revolver
. committeeman explained he
didn't want the runners to put too
much into their starting sprint.
Stepped to Music.
For the first time this year a radio
loud speaker mounted on a truck
accompanied the runners so they
could step to music. AS the field got
away from the starting gun and
strung out, the runners found them
selves keeping pace to radio crooner
singing something about:
Here we go to the chckety, clack-
ETY.. pounding beat of my heart E. -
Hey, you" shouted runner to
the loud speaker operator as the pace
grew hot. turn that thing on. If !
Had the Wings of an Angel!
Some one in an adjoining auto
mobile thought the marathon theme
song should be Get Along Little Dog
gies." but no further suggestions came
from the runners, who were saving
their breath.
A mystery man clad in khaki knick-
ers and riding a bicycle hung with
canteens and an "ofncial'' card evoked
some speculation along the route. He
pedaled alongside a group of runners
administering cups of water with the
skill of long practice.
After the finish the runners said he
was former Harvard professor from
Boston, a race enthusiast who had
pedaled here from his native city to
root for Massachusetts, marathoners.
One group of these, representing
the United Shoe Machinery Co..
brought along their own water from

that the uniforms are green.
One suggestion is that the soldiers

MILLER TAKES DECISION FROM
WRIGHT IN WHIRLWIND BATTLE

abled him to keep his opponent at
a distance most of the time.
But when Kenny decided to bore
in and fight it out at close quart
ers he got in his damaging wallops
and rung up the points that gave
him the ultimate victory. Reid
never stopped coming in even when
Frankie's straight left jabbed him
repeatedly in the face and tended
to throw him off balance.
Tommy Hill of San Diego copped
the decision from Sal Espinosa,
Tijuana scrapper in a fast four
round special event. Tommy rush
ed his opponent continually and
won the verdict by the fact that
he threw more leather than Espin-
osa although his blows did not
carry much punch or sting to
them.

and it looked as if he would fin

to weather the storm and came
back stronger during the remainder
of the fight.
Red was slow and cool in his
movements but when he wanted
to he got all steamed up and
waded into Bogardus dealing out
punishment with both hands. In
the final round it looked as if Red
was on his way to give Bogardus
the sleeping drops but Brute held
on and Wrestled about the ring
to prevent the San Diego boy
from getting over a real wallop.
A crowd which nearly filled the
arena witnessed the bouts last
night and expressions of satisfac-
ton were heard as to the quality
of the fights on the program.
Before leaving town today Miller
and his manager, Ed Burns, ex-
pressed their satisfaction with their

who defeated the best in the east

several of its aces, including Bob
Clark, broad jumping champion.
Other schools and athletic clubs

Johnny Blackman, Stanford IS
great quarter miller, was to meet
Johnny Mccarthy of u. S. C. in
one of the feature events of the

Although the decision in last
nights main event at the local
arena was just as most fans ex-
pected it would be, still, judging
by the fight as it was actually
fought, Freddie Miller, worlds
featherweight champion did not
have a cinch in winning the de-
cision over Chalkie Wright, Los
Angeles Negro, holder of the coast
crown in that division.
Both boys put up a whale of a
fight from bell to bell and after
the first stanza when Chalkie dis
covered that he could stay with
the champ he got going and
showed that he had plenty of
luff. We are not limiting that
he might have taken the champ
or anything like that but the Los
Angeles scrapper showed that he
was not awed by Miller and often
during the scrap was willing to
slug it out with the feather
weight king.
Miller was plenty good, no doubt
stance coming in as he does side
ways, did not offer much of a
target at which to shoot but Wright
repeatedly found his mark and
his clever shifting and ducking
caused the champion to miss
wallops that had kayoe written
all over them.
Tho ohio ,,,Y,iop cbontc l,ic blou,c
in like lightning, short, snappy
punches that do not travel any
distance but carry plenty of pow
er and sting with them. He pounded
Wrights sides repeatedly and sew
eral times got in those short jabs
to the midsection which made
Chalkie vince and cover up.
Twice during the contest Miller
opened up as if he intended to
annihilate his dusky opponent but
each time he slowed up and Wright
was able to weather the storm. In
the seventh Miller thought he had
Chalkie where he could take him
but Wright wiggled out of danger
again and was standing up to the
champ when the final bell rang.
1t was one swell scrap from
start to finish and both fighters
were loudly applauded as they left
the ring, Miller, as was becoming
to the worlds champ and Wright
for the good scrap he put up.
Other Bouts Good
The other bouts on the pro-
fam were of a high order in
keeping with the main bout. Each
went to a decision and there was
but one knockdown on the nights
program, that coming in the first
bout.
In the four round semi-final
Kenny Reid took a well merited
decision from frankie Venegas..
Both are featherwights and put
up great fight. Reid, a San
Diego boy is a sturdy and stocky
youngster with more experience
than the local scrapper and this
is what counted in the end. Vene-
gas is rangier and possesses a
longer reach than Reid which en-

pion. For Merton, despite its SEEM
ingly low par of 10, is one of the
toughest courses that ever en-
tertained the national open. As
proof it may be noted that al
though virtually all of Americas
stars are competing, only Jimmy
Hines of Great River, N. Y, has
equalled par.
AS they started off today, the
players most likely to catch Cruick-
shank were Sarazen, three strokes
back with 145; Witty Cox of
Bf1oklyn, 146; and Billy Burke,
Horton Smith, Leo Diegel, and
Rodney Bliss, Jr., with 147's.
Cox often has been up with the
first 10 in the national. Burke
won the title in a 70 hole play
off which was decided on the final
green at Toledo in 1881. Smith is
a young veteran who has often
threatened. Diegel, like Cox, has
often been near the top, and also
hike Witty, has a temperament
which doesn't appear as its best
under pressure.
