It was from Hayes that he received his inspiration to become a long distance runner, and it wae also from Hayes that he received most of his coaching. While Ryan In recent years has al- ways performed consistently and was looked upon by athletes ss one of the best long distance men in the game. the public at large has not realized his eat ability. It remained for the American Marathon at Boston yesterday which Ryan not only won but ais under the most adverse conditions, tablished a new record for the classic, to demonstrate that the New youngster is probably one of the best Mare“oners in the world, and if the sandy-haired Celt |s not In front at Stockholm this summer his host of friends and admirers will be greatly surprised.

The message from Hayes read: “Go to it, o1@ boy, and bring ho re the bacon.” After reading the message Ryan sald: “Il owe my victory to Hayes, I did most of my training for the race under his direction. In fact, everything I know about the Marathon game I owe to the litfle chap who carried off the honors {p the last Olymple race at London.
