CLAPP, 237 Main Street, Canadian Wins Boston Marathon Renaud, a Weaver, Leads the Big Field—Boxing Bouts at Jewett City—Aniems Have Strong Lineup—Major League Games. ! s Boston, Aprfl 19.—TUnder a burning sun which‘sent the mercury up to mid- summer figures. Henry Renaud, a French-Canadian weaver of Nashua, N. H., today pushed his way through a great fleld of runners and won the thirteenth annual Patriots’ day Marad thon run of the Boston A. A. over the course of about 25 miles from Ash- ! land to this city, The Frenchman proved his stamina against American, English, Irish, German, Russian, In- dian and Greek competitors. From 25th place at the halfway mark he gained steadily until two miles from | the finish he took first place and kept the end of the race. The 58.36 4-5, was the slowest made in thie evert in ten years. This was undoubtedly due to the unprecedented heat. Second and third places went to H. Jensen of New York and P, J. Grant of Brooklyn, respectively. Never before have the runners in a | Boston Marathon lined up at Ashland for the start under such torrid condi- tions. Seven score of runvers dashed away when the referee’s pistol eracked at noon, Ae the four-mile point and up to the eleventh mlle, Tewanina, the In- dian, who was a favorite, was in the lead, but in the next five miles, nearly all down hill, Gofte of Cambridge, Pi- gott of Medford and Ryan of New York crowded past the Indian, At the turn into the boulevard six- teen miles from the start Renaud was the 25th runner to begin the elimb up the long hill Long Hill Mowed Down the Runners This hill proved a heart breaker for many a runner and many others s vived it only to succumb to the longer incline three milos beyond. The French | Canadian seemed to stand the trying work better than the others and when the top of the reservoir hill was reached he was in third place. The race of Renaud with Grant and Jen- sen through the long cheering lane from this point to the finish was one | of the features of the big contest. Re- naud caught Jensen and then both ov- erhauled Grant at Coolidge Corner, a | little more than two miles from the sh. For a few hu ed y the trio ran on side by si Th Re- naud sprinted and gained rapidly, opening up nearly a mile over his com- petitors at the fni Jensen beat Grant for second place by one minute and 4 seconds. nd came James F, Crowley of New York, a hot favorite in the event, while the fifth man over the llne was Sam A.

Washington, April ‘19 Taft went out to the ba day, saw Washington wallop Ly the Boston Americans, into the mysieries of the “spit shared a five cent bag of peanuts with| Vice President Sherman, who sat in the box next to him, wished that Wash- ington would win and eaid sadly that | he hoped he wasn't a "hoodoo."” No one in Washington could veeall today just when it was that a president of the United States last attended a baseball game in this city. With all of | his love for outdoor fife and sports Mr. Roosevelt did mot go within the ball grounds during his seven years at the White House. President Taft ar- rived at the game today at the begin- ning of the eecond inning. The game interrupted by the cheering which read in a great wave from the grand- | stand to the farthermost cormers of the wide-reaching bleachers as the crowd | quickly recognized the president end saw him greet the vice president, The president’s addival and ¢he briet interruption of play had the effect of | | glying “Dolly” Gray, a Washington pitching- recruit _from the minor leagues, a bad case of stage fright. While the president still looked on hopefully, in the fourth the Washing- ton players became so scared they could not pick up the ball after stop- ping it and Boston got away with four’ tallies. It was then that the president sald he hoped he was not a “hoodoo.” The score: Washington. | Baston. abh po a e e e Clymerst ¢ 1 0 0 0/MConnell? 4 1 1 4 0 Ganlescof 3 1 2 0 8fLord.3b 31 1 Unglaub.lt 5 3 0 0 0fSpexker.ct 300 Del'hants.3 4 0 1 3 1fGessler.if 100 Conroy, 4121 ofNiesss 310 Freemen.ls 3 011 3 O[Stahllb 720 MWhridess 2 0 7 5 1 3 600 9000 0 110 30432 010 0000 220 3105 == 19000 11 1000 Tannehill batted for Street in Sth.

Ameng the regulars is Nere Codierrc, who is still very much in the game, playing his reguiar position, center fleld. Geerge Johnson will cover the hot corner and this season tiws very promising player wil shew the fane Just how it is done. Arsene Frappler Will still be in with the boys, playing shortstop, where he is apt to make visiting teams stop, look, listen. The second baseman is to be Aucoin, for- merly the Andem catcher. He is a very fast man and has good staying quali- ties who never gives up. The initial vag will be covered by old reliable George Carlson, who can dig them up DANIEL A. GahaN. in any old way, from almost any an- gle. With this Infielé¢ Manager Gahan thinks he will have the finest in the Eastern Connecticut league. “James Johnson, the old left fielder, is still h the Andem team and when he is using his batting eye he is very apt to break up-the game with his Texas leaguer, for Jimmie is at all times due for a hit. All these men are in the pink of condition.

Champlin of this city, who stroked his freshman crew at Syracuse and rowed Ne. 6_in last years win- ning varsity at Poughkepeic, is now in the stroke's seat om the Syracuse ‘varsity crew by the selection of Coach Fen Eyek. This former Academy foot: all and baseball star has the ideal build for en oaveman, and will un- doubtedly row for the Syracusans i another Hudson river regatta. Althoueh six of last year's champion- ship 'varsity erew are still in college, only four of the number are candidates for the crew. Of these Champlin is at present stroking the 'varsity combinas tion, with Captain Fisher at No. Shirier No. 6, Hemenway No. 5, Ger No. 4, Putnam Ne. 8, Guibord No. 4, and Armstrong bow. Some of the best freshmen have been taken from the coach by faculty and regatta regulations, but despite all dtf- ficulties it is expected that the fresh- man crew will this year be a contender for first honors June 36. Syracusans have a right to be proud of the record established at Poughkeepsie in the last five years. During this #ime Syracusa crews have competed in T4 races and have won seven against six for Cornell and one for Wisconsin.

New York, April 12—In looking Jeffries over in his present physical trim, fat and soft, one is reminded of the time the boilermaker first came here to make his initial bow before New York fight fans. That was just eleven years ago. Jett had beaten Van Buskirk, Dick Baker, Peter Jacksoh, Sharkey, Goddard and Joe Choynski on the coast and had also boxed a twenty round draw with Gus Ruhlin. Billy Delanoy had him tow and the old Lenox A. C. in Har- lem offered a substantial purse for Jeffries to box the negro, Aren- strong, and the timid Steve O'Donneil @ach ten rounds the same night. When Jeffries got into the ring and pulled off his sweatef the crowd laughed and cried out: “Jumbol” “Fatty!” ‘“Blephant!" “Freight Cart” “Balloon!” and “Wind N Jeffries was as big as a heawywelght brewery wagon driver. He scaled at 245 pounds in fighting togs and had an alderman’s paunch. ~ Armstrong, per- haps fifty pounds lghter, had just enough cleverness to make Jeffries look foolish in his attempts to land som tremendous swings and when the tenth round was over and the referee de- clared that Jeffries had won _there were shouts of derision. Jeftries then declared ‘that he could not take the thoroughly frightened O'Donnell on the other bout and gave as an excuse that he had broken one of his thumbs on Armstrong’s head. The speetators lost no time in pro- nouncing Jeffries a false alarm, and when he finally secured a match with Charley | Fitzsimmons a year later few believed that the big fellow had & chance. ‘When Jeffries began training this miit he weighed just about as much as he does now, say 245; but after a_long siege of work under the supervision of Delaney and Temmy Ryan he reducea untll one week before the mill he got on the scales and tipped the beam at 208 with trousers, coat, swealer, cap and rubber soled shoes on. No faster big man ever pulled on a glove then was Jeftries at that time. When he got into the ring with Fitzsimmons lie was a revelation, and with supesd coupled with wondertul strengt) the heavy hitting Carnishman the eleventh round. But Jefiries was 24 years oM regain the remarkable fosm and that was ten years ago. The 3 lem: that confronts him today 3 . abled him to best Fitzstmmsons in 1903 and Corbett in 1608.
