Hicks Defeats Men of All Nations in His- toric Contest at St. Loui - ONE MAN TUSES —— AN AUTO . . | Tires of Running, Accepts a Lift, Finishes .First and Is Then Disqualified o s ST. LOUIS, Aug. 30.—The Olymple Marathon race, the third foot race con- test of the kind ever held and the first ever beld on American soil, partici- pated by thirty-one men, classed emong the fleetest ‘runners of the world, was won to-day by Thomas J. Hicks of Cambridge, Mass., who is the first American to win this event, cele- brated in the revival of Olympic games. Albert J. Corey of Chicago, & native- born Frenchman, crossed the goal line A. L. Newton of New York hed third. The distance of the forty kilometers, equal to es and fifteen hundred distance was run by lly announced time tes and 53 seconds; minutes and 15 sec- second. e was nty-four mi This s; Ne 3 hours, 47 minutes and eeconds. The first Olympic Marathon race was Greece, in 1896, and Greek, jn 2 hours minutes; the second Olymplc Marathon race was held in Paris in 1900 and won by Teato of France in i The winner ce received a cup pre- President Francis of the ex- an Olympic championship ; second, a silver medal, and al of bronze. RUNNER 1S DISQUALIFIED. Fred Lord of New York City was the s the goai line, but liately disqualified on the at he had ridden about three automobile in traversing the country roads. tted that he had done Athens, by Lie had been en- he race, but only thirty-one Of these sixteen were Ameri- 2 eks, two Kaffirs, one one Frenchman and one man South Africa. The starter's pistol cracked at 3:03 o'clock and Hicks sprang into the lead with the fleld following at his heels. The racers ran five laps on the Stad- fum track and then, passing through a struck out on the country road which was designated by red along the way. ing the course Hicks had back with six men ahead. The urse led over hills and through dales innumerable, being pronounced one of the most uphill b and the roads were deep in dust. Spec- tators were gathered in throngs at dif- ferent points along the way and lustily cheered the men as they passed. A vanguard of horsemen cleared the thoroughfares and judges, physicians and newspaper men followed in auto- mobiles. HICKS' GREAT PERFORMANCE. When the halfway point was reached Lord, who had become exhausted, passed in an automobile. Mellor was the first man to pass the halfway point, followed by Newton a short dis- tance behind. Closely following New- ton, came Hicks, running easlly. When the twenty-mile point had been reached Lord again started running. Hicks was running with mechanical exactness, slowly and with every mo- tion of his body indicating by its regu- larity and apparent effort that he was suffering from fatigue. But he was still full of grit. In answer to a question 2s to how he was feeling he called back over his shoulder: “I want some- thing to eat as soon as I get there. I am nearly starved.” He maintained his pace until within two miles of the goal, when he drop- ped to 2 walk in climbing a hill, the first time he had ceased running. At the top of the hill a crowd cheered him vigorously, which renewed his flagging energy and he broke into a run, main- taining it until he reached the entrance to the Stadium track. Then, amid tre- mendous cheering of spectators he re- doubled his pace, rushed half way around the track and in the gathering darkness crossed the tape a winner. The crowd had scarcely quieted from ovation when Corey, who had made i endous headway in the last eiretch, ran into the Stadium and crossed the line second. Again the cheering ensued and when It had died away Newton ran into the Stadium and scored as third man. Long after night had fallen other runners straggled in. William R. Garcia of San Francisco, one of the runners, was found lying | unconscious to-night by the roadside, several miles from the Stadium. He was conveyed to the Emergency Hos- pital at the World's Fair, where he was vestored to consciousness. The physi- cians state that he will probably be fuily recovered after a good rest. —_————— New Orleans Poolrooms Close, NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30.—To- morrow will be the last day on which poolrooms will be operated in New Orleans.

This would not have been either had Mr. Spencer refrained from dozing at his post of duty. Score: Portland 3, Oakland 1. ! The game was a battle of the tail- enders and therefore no undne enthu- siasm was exploded. Althougn slow in the matter of hours and minutes, it was a fair enough exhibition of the pitchers’ art, with the honors on Iberg's side all the time. Even errors did not unnerve Ham, for he mixed 'em up and pitched the same kind of ball all the time. For five innings Oakland never got a man to first base. Then, with one in the cellar, during rqund six, Jimmy Byrnes tore off a scratchy one to third base. Buck Francks followed with one to left, but they both died there. The Brownies opened up with one when Hurley was passed. He kept right on till he reached the plate on Nadeau’'s single and Ganley’s bad throw to third base. The eighth brought forth another. Spencer hit; stole to second; advanced on an out and arrived on Steelman’s flukey one to third. Ham Iberg swelled the score in the final spasm by bringing in Beck from second with a scorcher to center. The Commuters opened the ninth with a whole lot of noise and for a moment they looked real dangerous. Dunleavy forced Ganley at second and sneaked down while Spencer slumbered. Schlafley was poked ‘in the slats with & slow one and together they pulled off a double steal. Dun imprinted his foot on the rubber after Kruger drove one out to center. Schlafley was chopped down on a perfect throw. Streib died by the second-first route The and then it was over for fair. score: Oskland— ®ortland— AB. R. PO.A AB.R.

Jack Munroe will leave for the East to-day, seeking new fields to conquer. He knows there is nothing for him here but a job on a scow schooner or some- thing of the sort. Jack does not know yet what he will do in the future, but expects to make some kind of a pick- up away from the Golden Gate. He still bears some of the marks of his re- cent beating, but otherwise looks in good form. There seems nothing in sight for Jet- fries but absolute retirement from the ring. The big champ seems to have gone as far as he can, and unless he contracts to beat an army of men in one night he will probably be forced to say good-by to the prizering for a while and perhaps forever. As wide awake and diplomatic as the fistic pro- moters are none of them is equal to the situation of digging up a man to pit against the champion of all cham- ! pions. | A story was sent over the wires from the East last night to the effect that ,Jeff had signed to box.Jack O’Brien. The knowing ones here would not stand for anything of the kind and the rumor was passed up as the most idle kind of weak fight talk. Joe Gans will probably arrive from the East to-day to get ready for his coming mill with Gardner next month. | Kid McCoy has practically pledged himself to meet Twin Sullivan at Los Angeles on September 20. If the Kid don’t snowball the Twin he need not try to do anything in this city. Eddie Hanlon, who 1s matched to fight Terry McGovern in Philadelphia next month, leaves for the East to-morrow. iHe will be accompanied by his brother Dan. ———— Will Ofl Vanderbilt Cup Course. i NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—In view of I!he fatal accident during the auto- +mobile races at St. Louls because of I dust clouds obscuring the view of the .competing drivers, plans are being made to obviate the same danger in ' the Vanderbilt cup race over a Long Island course on October 5. This will be done by sprinkling the course with oil at the approaches to railroad cross- ings and turns. The course is thirty miles in length, and, owing to the cost, only the danger points will>be oiled. The same plan has been followed suc- cessfully in France during recent races. ——— LONDON, Aug. 3L—Lord Dundonzid in a letter 10 the Timecs denics the report that he has accepted a nomination. in the Conservative interest to contest & seat in the mnext Can- adian elaction.

Y., Aug. 30. /It was with regret the race-golng pub- lic saw Delhi beaten so easily in the | mile handicap to-day, Which was never really a contest after the first five fur- longs. The winner, First Mason, is a slashing four-year-old, a half-brother to McChesney, and was developed by the racing firm of Oots Bros. of Lex- { ington, who developed both Hermis and } McChesney. Few thought First Mason was good enough to beat Delhi, not- withstanding that Mr. Keene's three- | vear-old was conceding the Western horse twenty-two pounds. That some one backed First Mason is a fact, how- yever, as his odds were cut in the clos- | ing betting from 8 to 1 down to 6 to L. Hardly had the barrier been released and the field was well under way be- fore it became apparent Delhi could not run away from First Mason, as he had been doing with other horses. This in itself was an ominous sign, and as the two horses raced almost on equal terms, with Lyne sitting still on First Mason and Odom uneasy, and, in fact, “niggling”” at Delhi, all hopes vanished that the Keene colt would win. As the horses finished the first six furlongs it | was conceded that Delhi was beaten, | and First Mason came home with Lyne | still taking it easy, the horse winning gby three lengths. Under a drive of more than a quarter of a mile Delhl saved second money from Marmee, an outsider, which but for getting off a bad last might have finished second. Beldame won the Dolphin stakes, at one mile and a furlong. Ormonde’s Right was second and Aurumaster third. Summary: FIRST RACE—Seven furlongs; eelling; for three-year- Betting.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—Bragg upset one of the biggest attempted killings of the racing season to-day when he beat Fos- sil & neck in the third race, a handicap at a mile and an eighth, at Harlem. Fossil, which ran some sensational races in California, but which has not shown ‘his true form until to-day, was backed from 15 to 1 down to 5% at post time, and was still being played when the field went to the post. Dr. Stephens and Bombardier went to the front at the start, but down the back stretch Mountain rushed Fossil to the front and thereby made his run too soon. Rounding the half-mile pole Bragg set sail for the good thing, and when straightened out for home Fossil led by only a length, with Bragg gaining at every stride. It was a long, hard drive, but Bragg displayed the greater game- ness and won the verdict by a narrow margin. The track was fast, the weather per- fect and the attendance good.

One hundred and ! forty-four greyhounds in ail will start at the meeting, there being an open and a reserve stake to fill out the card There will be no coursing at Ingleside Park this week. It is conceded .hat the Futurity of this year outclasses in quality any of those already run. Usually one puppy stands out above the others in speed but this year there are a number cf promising ones, thus giving th2 st an open look. Contrary to the usual conditions nearly every dog in the stake has been tried publicly so that the form of them all is known. Many pin their faith to James Sweeney's fast puppies, Rocked Asleep and Rusty Arnchor. The Sacramento contingent will be strongly represented by Georze Nethercott's La Rosa and Clydette and by W. T.
