Of the; thirty starters all but six finished the | race and the majority reached the mark in good physical conditior, While this is not the best time made in a Marathon race in Japaa! it is a record for that distance. Dur-' ing 1913 a Japanese runner ran the full Marathon distance of 26 miles 385 yards in 2 hrs, 31 m. 28 s, in a| tria] race held in connection with early preparation for the Olympic Games, scheduled at that time to be | staged at Berlin in 1916. This time is better than that made by anv win- | ner of a Marathon race held at, Olympic games since the initial re-! vival of this classic track and field ; meet at Athens in 1896. | The record of 2.30.12 for the; twenty-five miles is not equal to the best time made in the Boston A. A. Marathon race, staged annually at! Boston since 1897. This contest is! also run over a twenty-five mile! course and the best time was mada in 1912 when M. J. Ryan, of the New | York-Irish American A. C. won in' 2.21.181-5. The speed in the Jap-| anese race, however, is fully up to the average in the Boston event and far | ahead of the record for the first| American Marathon which was won | in 3.25.55 3-5 at New York in 1896. Although the mile-a-minute boaf | was considered more or less of a dream until recent years, this speed has been surpassed in the past two seasons in actual racing and now the sizndard has been set at better than seventy miles per hour. The new rec- ords, which were made in tests against time, were clocked at Lake George where late last month the | Po’-Will, owned by an officer of the American Power Boat Assoclation, covered a measured mile in 51.25 sec- onds or at an average of 70.15 miies per hour. Six one-mile dashes | same time. were | { made the first day and the averase was 64,74 miles per hour while tho average of the second day's tests was 69.29 miles per hour with two of the mile sprints showing an average of better than 70 milés‘per hour.

He will call out all the hase- ®all candidates February 11. with the Redwoods, Sunday after- noon: G. Puppel, R. Strowhecker, ‘W. Mooney, J. Lewisky, J. Canley, B. Conley, M. Berry, J. Lukis, J.

Georgi, Harris and Johnson Cover 80 Yards in 0.20.1 Princeton, N. J., Dec. time trials for the Tiger wimming candidates held yesterday afternoon by Coach Sullivan uncovered the fas- test trio of 50-yard men that has ever been in the university at the After sending the twenty- odd candidetes for the “50” over the distance, it was found that Georgi, s and Johnson, last year’s freshman relay four which broke the intercollegiate record the 200-yard relay, had covered the course in 0:25.1. This mark is con- siderably better than the same men could accomplish last winter. The chiet obstacle in the path of the Tiger coach is the lack of a fourth man to complete the varsity squad. As yet no one has been found who can come within three seconds The first ! of the mark set today by the sopho- more trio. If a fourth man appears in the ranks of candidates, the first Prince- ton swimming championship since 1906 is considered practically as- sured. The Tigers have three excel- lent divers in Captain Kazanjian, Dane and Anderson, and Kinnard, Shaenk, Herron and Arrowsmith are all capable of nearly 70 feet in the plunge. As a strang paradox, the water polo outlook is extremely discouraging. For seven consecutive years the Tigers have led the Intercollegiate league in this department, but Coach Sullivan is this year faced with the problem of building up a team of men who have never handled a water polo ball in competition. GARRY INSISTS Herrmann Wires Tener That Joint Meeting Should Be Held Dec. 18 As Originally Planned. Cincinnati, Ohio., Dec. 7.—August Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball Commission, said last night he had received President Tener's telegram and that he in turn had wired Mr. Tener that he thought the joint meeting of the National and American leagues should be held on the original date set—December 13. Mr. Herrmann in his telegram stat- ed that question of limiting players on ma- jor: league clubs be secttled as soon as possible, and he requested Mr. Ten- er to ask the club owners of the Na- tional league to attend the meeting on December 13.

A few weefs ago the Chicazo owner was | voted a sum of $200,000 by the stockholders to get new players to| land the pennant in the Windy City next season. It is stated by some of the other club owners that Weeghman started negotiations with players of other clubs without the consent of the own- ers. When it was learned that the St. Louis Cardinals had refused to give Roger Hornsby the big contract which he demands for next year, it was announced that Weeghman start- ed negotiations with the dissatisfied player.

Demetrius Tefalos, the Greek Sam- son, who ance was champion weight lifter, tried to lift Cyclone Burns, of Boston, off his feet. Burns also found the Greek too heavy to lift or turn over, and the result was a draw. Ivan Linow, the combative Cos- sack, had a strenuous time subduing Tom McDermott, but finally-succeeded with a body scissors and double wrist lock in 18:04. Linow wasted much energy in vociferous notifications to the referee that McDermott was down at times when Mac’s shaulders were not on the floor. Harold Christianson, champion of Sweden, and John Freberg struggled scientifically for twenty minutes with- out a fall. Freberg had the advan- tage in welght, but the Swede was an authority on all the tricks of the game and baffled his opponent. COLLEGE OHESS TOURNEY.
