Shrubb and Indian Had To Quit. NEW YORK.—Henri St. Yves, of France, won the great international Marathon derby for professional run ners at the National League baseball park here today. Dorando Piert'i, of Italy, was second; John J. Hayes, of New York, third, and Matthew Maloney, of Yonkers, N. Y., fourth. Tom Longboat the Canadian In dian, quit the track in the twentieth mile, and Alfred Shrubb, of England, gave up in the twenty-fifth mile. Both were completely exhausted in trying to keep up the terrific pace set by the Frenchman. Shrubb made a game struggle from the twentieth to the twenty-fifth mile, but the pace was too fast and the distance too far for him. St. Yves, the almost unknown who figured but little in the forecast of the race, covered the Marathon dis tance, 26 miles, 385 yards, in 2 hours, 40 minutes, 50 3-5 seconds —a remark able pgrformance under the condi tions and finished with a fast sprint in good condition. Dorando was 4 minutes, 47 3-5 seconds behind the Frenchman, while Hayes followed the Italian across the finish line 3 min utes and 50 seconds later. No time was taken on Maloney, the fourth man. St. Yves took $5,000 of the prize money, Dorando $2,500, Hayes $1,500, and Maloney SI,OOO. Shrubb and Longboat go unrewarded for their brave efforts. These are net results of the great est Marathon ever run in America and in all except in point of num bers of contestants, the greatest ever run anywhere. Six of the best dis tance runners in the world compet for a small fortune in prizes, i. ught out a crowd that packed the newly arranged stands of the Poio grounds to the point of standing room. , DAY WAS NOT FLEASANT ONE. The day was not a pleasant one for an out-door exhibition but the 30, i 000 spectators, or at least a Irage; majority who sat on the bleachers. | put up umbrellas for protection | against the gentle April showers which fell during the first hour of the race, or took the moisture in good spirit and did not let it lessen their enthusiasm. When the six run ners came upon the field at 3 o'clock Dorando appearing first, the showerß had still further softened the already soft turf course, and there was a prospect that it would be a track of mud. At 3:10 the men were sent away with a pistol shot by “Big Tim” Sul livan. Dorando at once leaped into the lead at a rapid rate, closely fol lowed by St. Yves, Shrubb and Long boat. Maloney and Hayes fell be hind several yards and took up a steady trot. In this order they ran for five laps, Hayes dropping behind. Then St. Yves passed Dorando, and began a sprint that brought the crowd to its feet. He gained sixty yards and finished the first mile in five minutes 14 seconds. There were many Frenchmen present and the band stirred their enthusiasm with the Marsellaise. In the fifth mile there was a touch of the excitement the crowd had waited for. Shrubb unable to stand the sight of the fly ing Frenchman ahead, set out to catch him. He passed Dorando and soon cut St. Yves lead to fifty yards finally coming on even terms with him in the sixth mile. ST. YVES WAS VERY UNSEASY. St, Yves looked uneasy and sprint ed desperatedly. soon leaving Shrubb far behind. Shrubb laughed and al lowed him to go, dropping back with Dorando and Longboat. The Italian then started out to catch the French man, cutting his lead to 35 yards at the end of the sixth mile, the time for which was 33 minutes, 51 1-6 sec ond. Hayes, after being lapped in the second mile, was lapped again by the leaders, and although the band played "The Star Spangled Banner” the crowd standing with heads bared to the rain, the Olympic winner re fused to be enthused to the point of Increasing his pace. The ninth mile brought Longboat to the front of the pack that was fol lowing St. Yves. There was an im mediate response from the Canadian contingent as the lanky Indian loperf ahead of Shrubb and Dorando. He had drawn up to within fifty yards of St. Yves in the tenth mile when AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, IJXJ9. Don't Fail to get a Cake of Sweetheart Toilet Soap Free here tomorrow.

He passed St. Yves and finished the ten miles in 57 minutes 16 1-5 seconds. Shrubb and St. Yves gained two thirds of a lap on Dorando and Long boat in the eleventh, the English man’s intention evidently being to run the Frechman “off his feet.” The two passed Dorando and Longboat for the first gain of a lap on them in the thirteenth mile. HAYES WAS A MILE BEHIND. Hayes was a full mile behind the leaders at the beginning of the fif teenth mile, but was showing signs of waking up. Shrubb took nourish ment and slowed up a bit, while St. Yves kept right on, his stride being quite as quick and even as at the start. Dorando gained some of his lost ground in the sixteenth mile and the thousands of Italians on the bleachers went wild as the passed Hayes again. Longboat here showed signs of weakness and was losing ground. In the seventeenth St. Yves carried Shrubb along in a furious sprint, while Longboat suddenly stop ped in front of his training stand and was rubbed vigorously by his trainers. After three or four min utes he resumed,/but he was plainly leg weary. St. Yves suddenly started at. a speedy clip in the eighteenth mile which brought him half a lap ahead of Shrubb, in less than a mile. This was the first indication of Shrubb's weakening, and he appeared to be using his utmost strength to prevent the Frenchmand gaining a lap. Long boat, about this time dropped out of the race, thoroughly spent. ST. YVES AHEAD IN TWENTIETH MILE. 81. Yves gained the coveted dist ance on Shrubb in the twentieth mile and there was a great roar from the crowd while the band again honor ed the leader by plavlng the French national anthem. St. Yves time for 20 miles was 1 hour, 57 minutes 24 4-6 seconds, more than two minutes ahead of the Marathon record for the distance. The standing the leaders at the end of the twenty second mile was; St. Yves 22 miles; Shrubb 21 miles, 3 laps; Dorando 21 miles 1 lap; Hayes 20 miles, five laps. It was now so dark that the run ners could hardly be made out on the opposite side of the field, but the drizzling rain had ceased. In the first lap of the 25th mile Dorando CONVICT NOW IN AUGUSTA PICKED A MAYOR S POCKET SHOT BROTHERS DIN ON THE STREETS Hazlehurst Man Gave Bad Clieck and in Fight Shot Two Members of Firm.

Chief Executive of Val dosta Lost His Roll, But Crook is Here Serving Fifteen Years. There is hardly a man among Rich mond county's allotment of 66 long term felony convicts whose crime and subsequent, trial did not attract wklv spread attention. The story of the murder of the two Carter children, by Aiph Moore, a negro, and the two Rawlings boys, the hanging of Old Man Rawlings and tho colored man, and the sentence of the boys to life Imprisonment, was a theme for muny newspaper articles. Tom Moore, the Savannah street car conductor who fired at a passenger and killed a lady on the street, has a long term, and many other men In the bunch have had their stories recited and their pictures printed in scores of newspa pers. One of the most Interesting men at the camp Is Frank Moran, a man sent up from Valdosta, In Lowndes county, for robbery. Ills term is 15 years, of which only about four have been served. As told by a friend of The Herald, who resided In Valdosta at the time Moran was tried and convicted, the story runs like this: "A blr circus came to Valdosta, and the town was chock-a-block, peo ple came In from the surrounding country on every road and every train. It wasn't, long on ‘show day' before the sagacious and alert chief of police discovered that a gang of professional pickpockets were at work In the crowd. "Scores of persons were touched that day for all they had. Time al ter time an alarm was raised, and policemen rushed In with Ugh hopes of nabbing their man, but each tln.e the pickpockets got away ,and It was not until the day after the show that the gang was captured "On the morning after ‘big day,’ the mayor of Valdosta was leaving town with his wife. Two of the pick pockets saw him buy a ticket, learn ing that he had a 'roll.' As he board ed the car, Just behind his wife, one of the crooks reached up both hands and caught the step railing just un der the grasp of the mayor. At the same Instant, he felt a hand slide into OUR READY-TO-WEAR DEPARTMENT With a Dainty Profusion of Beauty Offer .Values, That will be simply charming to the economical, tasty buy er.

Ten days ago the Oxonians wore not thought to have u chance, but today, under the leadership of a freshman, R. C. Bourne, who was rowing his first, varsity race, they defeated a crew whose stroke, I). C. It. Stuart, thrice had brought his l ight to vle tory. Before the struggle was half over, It was apparent that Cambridge bad been overrated. The bow half of the boat, was already showing signs of tho gruelling contest, while the Oxonians MR. BRYANT MAKES NEW APPLIANCE Mr. Tom Brant, of No. 2 engine company, has made a simple little hanger for harness that has proved very useful since Assistant Chief Schaufele has started to answering fires In bis buggy. A piece of Iron Is hung from the roof over the harness. At. one end of the Iron Is a fork, Into 'which lit- collar Is hooked. Thlls holds the collar open, and Inside of the collar the shafts are hung. This holds up the entire harness, and when the horse runs under. It is only necessary to pull the harness down ward to have It fall on the horse. one of the side pockets of his trous ers, and slip out his purse. "The alarm of 'stop thief’ was promptly raised .and the police rush ed In. But both men got away. How ever, the bold robbery of the mayor of the town served to drive the doughty chief to desperation. Finally the gang was spotted In a small boarding house near the depot. As a westbound train pulled out from the station the crooks made a dash for the rear car. But they were too late. The police, an armed posse of deputies, and the sheriff of Lowndes closed In on them. “Ail but two of the outfit wore captured. Nine were convicted of robbery and given long terms. ,Thls same Frank Moran, whom I see by the papers is at work now In Rich mond county, was Identified as the man wko picked the mayor's pocket. I heard a Pinkerton detective say that he was a veteran at the guiue, ; and a dangerous man.” DAILY AND SUNDAY, $6.00 PER YEAR. T were pulling easily and strongly. When the eights were approaching Barnes' Bridge It was seen that No. 3 in the Cambridge boat was almost In a state of collapse and at the fin ish the entire eight, except Stuart, were utterly exhausted.

The crew was not. pushed at the finish, or they might have lowered Ihe time made In the race considerably. Evidence of the eight's rapid rounding Into form X shown by tho belling odds which dropped from 20 to 1 against Oxford two months ago, to 6 to 1 Just before the race.
