The Marathon competitors, with the exception of Michael Ryan, Irish- American A, C., who is suffering from an injured ankle, ran for two hours at a sharp pace. The other members of the team indulged in practice work morning and afternoon. Already half the men are in form, and the others are rounding out nicely. 5 At the water polo game last night between Brussels and Antwerp for the championship of Belgium, the Ameri- can swimmers and divers gave an ex- hibition and in turn were given an en- thusiastic reception. It was thought that “Duke” Kahanamoku, the Ha- waiian, had broken the 10 metre rec- ord, but on remeasurement the tank was found to be one metre short of the distance, o After light work tomorrow morning the team will sail at noon on the Fin- land for Stoc BRUCE BROWN LEADS FIRST DAY OF RACE.

Preparing for Bout With Joe Rivers on July 4 Ad Wolgast, the lightweight cham- pion, who has been rusticating in the mountains around = Wheeler Hot Springs, has returned to Los Angeles to began hard training for his July 4 fight with Joe Rivers at Vernon. Wol- gast, according to the best of reports, has greatly improved his physical con- dition by his living close to nature methods. He is as brown as a berry and as rugged and strong as a griz- zly, according to Manager Tom Jones, who has just returned from the moun- | tain camp. \ Joe Rivers is going through the hardest kind of a training slege at Venice.

The total dis- | tance is 1,540 -kilometres (about 907! miles, 3 furlongs. | An immense crowd gathered at the | | start, special trains hading been run | | from all parts of Europe. The course is guarded by over two thousand sol- deirs who are stationed at intervals to prevent the public trespassing and run- ‘ ning into danger.

Johnson- Jack Johnson, after some objection, hag agreed to the use of a 17-foot ring for the encounter between himself and Jim Flynn July 4. Johnson learned that the ring was under the regular size and objected on the ground that a small ring was more suited to Flynn's rough and tumble style of fighting than his own. He said that a scientific boxer like himself would be ambarressed without suffi- cient room to execute clever foot- work. Johnson’s change of attitude came when he heard that Flynn had sald that he could whip Johnson in a bar- rel. “All the room I need to lick that upstart is a space the width of an electric light wire,” he declared. Capt. Fred Fornoff of the New Mexi- co mounted police declared that Las Vegas is free of all gambling. This, it is asserted, makes it an assured fact that Governor McDonald will not take Taftville Cadets Chal lenge. tange ¢, Normandin p, Tellier 1b, B.

Walter Johnson, the greatest pitcher in the world today, and in the opinion of many , the g :atest that the game ever saw. is one of those fortu- nate individuals lutely unspoiled by success. You Walter's bearing that he is the king | of all slabmen, for he has none of those idlosyncrasies that ususlly accompany the star athlete. The big Swede is plicid, modest and reserved. He is one of the hardest workers on the Washington club, and, according to Manager Griffith, positive- ly the eakiest to handle. Somehow the big pitcher does not seem to think that because he is a wonder he is en- titled to put on afrs. Like ]l really great athletes, he is trying all the time, no matter what the score, just as Ty Cobb, the Tigers’' star, always gives the club the best he has. Johnson keeps himself in perfect condition and he has no bad habits. He doesn’t drink any intoxicants nor have' the bright lights any attractions for him. From time to time he has been ill with some minor ailments, but there never has been a day since he came into the league whed he was out of the game through any fault of his own. ) SPORT NOTES. Almeida, sent to Birmingham by Cincinnati because he did not take the | game seriously enough, is batting over | .400. He s fourth in the batting order and is a great success as a clean-up hitter. Having left the protecting wing of | Connie Mack, Harry Davis is not find- ing his path strewn with roses. He is disgusted with the way the Naps are playing the game, or rather not play |ing it. He says: ‘T have been con- nected with baseball for many years, but never have I seen a club with so little amblition as this one. There will be some changes in the near future and soma of the playars now with the cluh will be disagreeably surprised. Tll have some new plavers in a short ) time.
