FRENCHMAN WON THE
GREAT MARATHON RACE
Dorando Second, Hayes
Third and Maloney Third.
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

Shrubb started a sprint that soon
brought him on even terms with the
Frenchman. 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

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

"The alarm of 'stop thief’ was

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
