Back In '-hlmhvl of an- ens with news of a great Hellenic vic- tory. Even since then different na- tions have been holding these long dis- tance running tests. K. K. McArthur of South ca, won the event at Stockholm in 1912, after toiling for 3 hours 36 minutes 54.8 seconds, and Saturday wiil be the first time that any feld has faced this test since Mc- Arthur's accomplishment. Exposition officials have selected an ideal course for Saturday’s event. The start will be made on, the track in the Exposition Stadium. After leaving the grounds, the runners will travel along the Presidio to the ocean. After skirt- ing the beach to Sloat Boulevard, the trip will then be made through the out- hills and Twin Peaks to the head of| Market: street. The men will follow down to Van Ness Avenue and an en- trance’ wHl be made to the Exposition Grounds at the foot of this thorough- fare. Some fast long-distance runners will start in Saturday’s event. Perhaps the most notable of -the competitors is Edouard Fabre, winner of last year's Boston Marathon. Fabre represents the Richmond Athletic Club of Montreal. Clifton Horne of the Dorchester Athle- tic Club of Boston, who finished sec- ond to Fabre at Boston is also entered. New York's representatives will be Charley Pores and Nick Gianakopulos of the Milrose Athletic Association, and Hugh Honohan of the New York, Ath- letic Club. Bernie Wefers, the old-time sprint star and record holder, has Hon- ohan in charge. Oliver Millard, who helped make athletic history = with Hannes Kohlemainen in the recent na- tional senior track meet, is the only local entry who can hope to give the visiting stars any competition.

Lambert, who held the world's professional lawn tennis hamplonship in 1885 to Tom - Pettit, of Boston, The Holyoke team of the Western Massachusetts league will play as the Havana Reds in Sunday games around New York. Manager Jack Knight of the Cleve- land American aseociation is develop- ing some good material for the real Cleveland club. McGraw is eager to give Kelly, his new outfleider, a try-out, but can’t press him into service until he re- duces his roster. Manager Bill Donovan of the Yanks thinks King Cole fit to take his turn on the slab now with Fisher, Caldwell, Warhop and Shawkey, Calvin D. Smith, a Beverly school- boy, will be given a trial by the Red Sox. A year ago he pitched and won 15 games for Beverly high. Becker, the former New London outfleider, will some day make Speak- er and Cobb look slow, if Scout.Arthur Irwin's prediction comes true. Scout Joe Kelley is trying to dig up some pitchers for the Yanks. Thus far he has unearthed two catchers, two pitchers and an outfielder. Otey Crandall, one time Giant, is pitching good ball for the St. Louis Terriers. He has scored thirteen vic- tories for the Jones ciub this season. Babe Morton, who failed to hit when Frank Chance had him as successor to Hal Chase, is pounding the ball at a .275 clip for the St. Louis Federals. Otto Knabe, manager of the Balti- more Feds, will probably draw a sus- pension as a result of his argument with Otis Stockdale, the new Fed um- pire. O'Day is regarded as one of the most_accurate handlers of the in- dicator that ever worked in the big circtits and is eager to take up his old jub. - Ed Konetchy of the Pittfeds seems to be enjoying a new lease on life. The big fellow has batted out twenty doubles, ten triples and nine home runs this season. Barney Dreyfuss may as. well put aside all his arguments against dou- ble-headers. Col. Ebbets always did bave it on the Pirate magnate in the matter of oratory. ‘Outflelder Chappell, who was turned back by the White Sox to Mil- waukee club of the American associa- tion, has turned down an offer to join the Pittsburgh Federals. - e mN 1 t cf magnates oppose appoinimeant c ODay as umpire. Manager McGraw thirty-four games, of which he has won twenty-two and lost eight. Ray ‘Keating's physician has order- ed him to remain idle for the rest of the season. 1] Pitcher Mamaux of the Pirstes will undergo an operation for appendicitis when the season is over. Walter Malls of Seattle, who has been purchased by the Superbas, pitched his twelfth consecutive vic. tory on August 6, thereby the record in the Northwester, Arthur Neht, who pitc Braves and shuit out the Pirates, with Mamaux in the box on Baturday hails from the Terre Haute ciub and was the best pitcher in the Central league. Big Ed Konetchy s the leading slugger in the Federal league with twenty-two two-bag fifteen tri- ples, and nine home runs to his credit. Hal Chase is second among the out- law slugers. Hendryx, the flelder just purchased from the New Orleans club, leads the Southern asso- clation in batyng with an average of 321. He was'tried by the Cleveland Indian last year. One of the chief reasons for the success of the Phillies is the harmony that exists among the players. Pat Moran's diplomacy has eliminated all petty quarrels in the team, and the l;'hu- consequently are a happy fam- ily. ‘When ten cent ball first came to a vote in the Federal league it was de- feated, 6 to 2, Ball of St. Louis and Sinclair of Newark being in the mi- nority. But there mén pleaded so hard for jitney prices that they finai- Iy had their way. Red Ames has trimmed every club he has faced since donning a Cardinal uniform except the Giants, who hand- ed their former teammate a bad beating in St. Louis. Miller Huggins was not the boob he was called when to took Ames from the Giants. In justice to Chief Meyers it must be said that the report recently circu- lated that McGraw had asked for waivers on his services was due to a mistake. Marquard was the only New York player who was offered to the other major league clubs. Charley Babbington, the Brown uni- versity player with the Giants, should make a great player for McGraw. He has all the natural gualifications for the grand old game along with a world of confidence. It is unusual for a colegian breaking into fast company to suffer so little from nerv- ousness as does “Bab”. Arthur Nehf, the recruit pitcher, secured by the Boston Braves from Terre Haute, made a great impres- sion on his first appearance in a Bos- ton uniform.© He may be the twirler sought by Stailings to take the place of BEig Bill James. With another man to work in turn with Tyler and Rudolph, the Braves' dream of a sec- ond pennant may not be so futile. SIR EDWARD GREY REPLIES TO GERMAN CHANCELLOR. Letter Refutes Statements Made Reichstag. London, Aug. 25, 7.05 p. m.—Sir Ed- warr Grey .the British foreign secre- tary, tonight sent a letter to the press replving to a speech delivered in the German reicnstag last week by Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chancellor. In the ietter Sir Edward deals at length with charge that Belgium had trafficked neutrality with Great Britain and the allies. “There are some points in the the German chancellor made last " the letter says, “which Yankees' new out- | =/ of it the first time when Germany pub. lished the Deigian record. “But it bears on the face of it it referred only to the Belgium being ati that the emn- try of the British into um_would tako place aiter violation of w territory Germany, and that not it the Eritish government. No conventon or agresment existed between the Eritish and Belglan gove ernment, “Why Joes the German chancellor mention these nforma. conversations of 1906 and ignore entirely April, 2913 1 told the ter most emphatically that what desired in the case of Belgl with other nettral countries, their neutrality should be and that so long as It was not ed by any other power we should tainly not wend troops ourselves their territory. Let it be remembered that the use made by Germany of the document wes to charge Belgium bad faith to Germany. What is true story? On the 29th of July, 19! the German chancellor tried to us by & promise of future in- violation of Belgian meutrality by Ger- deperdence to become s party to the many. On_ the outbreak of the war he described the Belfian treaty as scrap of paper, and the foreign secretary explained that Ger- many must go through Belgium to at- tack France because she could not af- ford the time to do otherwise. The statement of Her Von Jagow is worth quoting again: ‘The imperial government had to advance into France by the quickest and easiest way so as to be ablg get well ahead with the operations and endeavor to strike some decisive blow as early as possible. It was & ter of life and death with them, as if they had gome by the more south. ern route they could not have in view of the paucity of roads the strength of the fortresses, to have got through without formidable sition, entalling great loss of Thig Joss of time would have time gained by the Russians for bring- ing up their troops to the frontier. Rapidity of action was great German asset, while that of Rus- sia was an inexhaustible supply of troops.” the reichstag, too, on the th if nili § i “In of August, 1914, itary aims have been attained.’ “The violation of Belgian therefore, was _deliberate, Germany had actually guaranteed neutrality; and surely there has nothing more despicably mean to attempt to justify it ex-post by bringing against the innocent, in- nocent Belgian government and ple the totally false charge of having plotted against Germany. 4 “The German chancellor does mof emphasize I his latest speech charge, which has been spread broads cast against Belgium. Is it withs ? And if so, will Germany make reparation for the cruel wrong dond clear it could have no success we, in effect, gave a promise of solute neutrality while mained free under her alliances part in a European war. and shall be explained by pul an account of the megotiations .
