Now for some aition. At last the cream of the present crop of professional distance runners Is to measure strides In a great race on a fast outdoor track, correct in measurement and conforming with all the conditions necessary for the establishing of a bona fide record. For two years the (treat covey of pro. run-n rs has been making wonderful time on hoard floor circuits and over grans courso.

Now they are to meet on a certified quarter-mile cinder path, surrounded by a wooden border high enough to prohibit any cutting In. Celtic park Is the place the race will be run, end May 7 Is the date. Fif DON'T SAN $300 teen miles Is the distance, and among the famous dollar chasers will be asked to battle for the laurels are Hill Queal, Alf. Shrubb. Hans Holmer.

Ousta Ljungstrom, Tom Longboat. Kred Meadows, Abbie Woods, Jim Crowley, Percy Sellen, Paul Acoose and Kred Cameron, the greatest Held of distance that ever broke from the barrier. Who is promoting the great race? Why, none other than Martin Cowan and the Monument club. This is the Monument club's first Jump into professional waters. Kollt haven't forgotten the sensational amateur contests pulled off by the clul: since its Jump to the two years ago.

From all Indications Manager Cowan couldn't have chosen a greater drawing attraction than the fifteen-mile contest which will send Into action a field of the world's grentcst professionals.

RKCORDS EXPECTED.

Considering the caliber of the participants and the recognized "speed" of the track, it almost Is certain that the winner will hang up figures that will surpass all others. The lastest time ever made for fifteen miles If I. I'll. 04 by Fred Appleby, of the Heme Hill Harriers, in a great race with Alf. Shrubb on the famous Stamford Bridge track, London, on a sweltering day in July Julv 21, to be exact in 1902, Appleby and Shrubb at this time were amateurs.

The race was one of the greatest In the annals of snort. The pace was a clinker right from the crack of the gun to the nearing of the tape. Shrubb made the going on the Preparing For a Strenuous Season I ROBBER" THIE ROBBCRW 24 th Terms: Size of Lots, 50x126 to 340 16 ft. Lane first mile and then gave way to Kred, who set a terrific pace and led until miles were covered. Then Shrubb made his bid, und by a determined sprint wreated the lead from Appleby, only to have Appleby come back wltn a sensational burst, pass Shrubb, shake him olt and go away to a 40-yurd lead.

Appleby was clocked in 1.20.U4 3-5 and the timers caught Shrubb in 1.2H.15 4-5. Shrubb'R figures of 1.20.15 4-5 were the nearest approach to Appleby's wonderful world's record. Fred Meadows, the Uuolph stepped 15 miles in 1.21.24 1-5 in a 15-mile race In Toronto a year ugo. and a few weeks later covered 15 miles In 1.20.15 4-5 In another ID-mile lace In Madison Square garden. Meadows' figures were made on indoor tracks without the wooden borders.

The present legitimate world's professional figures are t.21.40, and were made by Jack Price on the famous ibrox park circuit, Glasgow Scotland, on Aug. 10. 1910. Price smashed the previous world's best professional time or 1.22.21. made In England by Len Hurst In a specially paced attack on the record, on April 15, 1898.

tjueal, Shrubb, Holmer and LJung-slrom, the four fastest of the probable held, already have Jumped at tile chance to scoop up a hoard of slmo-leons and take a decisive fall out of Father Time. With only these flyers competing, the race would be worth goliiR miles to see, and sosio of the experts have advised Cowan to limit th Held to these Btars. Man-er Cowan comes back with the statement that the race Is for the 15-mlle professional chumplonshlp of the world, and therefore must be open to all. However; the field probably will not be so large as to interfere with the racing. It Isn't everyone who cares to take a chance against such distance annihllators as Quenl, Shrubb, Holmer and Ljungstrom.

LONGBOAT HOLDS OUT. Tom Longboat, the Onondaga Indian, seems to be the first one of the frigid feet brigade. Tom blew Into Buffalo a fortnight ago and announced to the Bison City scribes that he was wild and woolly, Just watering at the mouth and hankering for a race. "I will race any man in the world, any distance ten miles up. winner tunc all." the redskin Is quoted as saying.

When Longboat got Manaeer Cowan's invitation to race for the big purse and world's Vhampioijshlp In Celtic park, Tom's confidence dropped to zero. "L'gh, ugh," he grunted, and scratched his head In perplexity. Oee," he soliloquized, "I don't stand the chance of a snowball in Ecuador against that field. What am I going to do?" Sol. Mints.

hU manager, showed him a way to crawl out of a meeting with his superiors. Sure will come, to Nw York. fiorn Longboat will race yueai, Holmer. I.Jungstrom TO I A large force of men arq now busily engaged- in making streets, sidewalks, the beach boulevard, and arrangements have already been made for the erection of thirty cottages. A number ot purchasers have already visited Sandy Hook, and are enthusiastic regarding its beautiful sandy beach, which is the finest on Lake Winnipeg.

SANDY HOOK will be in perfect readiness for the opening of the season. Many prominent Winnipeggers will have their summer homes at Sandy Hook completed in a month or less, and by that time the street, walks, will be practically complete. Lots are selling fast. Better make your reservation at once. Money back if you are not satisfied with the property.

and Shrubb provided Longboat gets round trip transportation for two from Toronto to New York and a guarantee of 25 per cent, of the gross gate, no matter hether he finishes first or last, or for that matter whether he finishes at all. Longboat knows that he has as much chance shaking down Martin Cowan on any such proposition as he has of squeezing water out of a stone. Cowan Is holding a bona fide race. No contestant need expect a guarantee other than the actual straight division of the puree. Longboat's bluff has been called, but It's dollars to doughnuts that the foxy Indian will stick to his determination of picking easy ones and refraining from measuring strides with such recognized champions as will break from the barrier on May 7.

If the winners of the opening classic do not approach Appleby's world's figures of 1.20.04 3-5, or for that matter. Shrubb's slightly lower but almost as sensational figures of 1.20.15 4-5, many fans will be disappointed. Despite the wonderful times hung up by the professionals in recent years, some experts say that the present crop of dls-tancers Is not the equal of Shrubb or Appleby In their prime. Others, how ever, are Just as emphatic In saying that the present crop Is the greatest ever. The question will be settled on May 7, when the runners wll'ace under practically the same conditions that existed when Appleby and Shrubb rsn their famous races In England back in 190 MARK TWAIN'S WORKS.

LONGBOAT VS DE MAR Rsca Not Likely, but Indian Would be Up Against it if Thsy Should Meet. Boston Post: Tom Longboat's outbreak with a challenge to run Clarence De Mar a Marathon race over the Ashland to Boston course sounds very good on the ace of It, hut there isn't a chance In the world of the race coming off.

Longboat is a professional athlete and De Mar Is an amateur. If however. Buch a contest was possible, I am afraid the Indian champion would he tip against it for fair. De Mar looks to have something on the redskin, as his great feat of covering the Ashland-Boston course In 2 hours 21 minutes 39 3-8 seconds shows. Longboat's time was 2 hours 24 minutes 24 seconds for the route.

The Indian, however, says that he will lower De Mar's time handily, provided De Mar will race him. De Mar, however, says: "Nothing doing till after the Swedish Olympic Marathon next year," and the Dorchester champion has made a wise Home Run Habit Seems To Stay With Schulte mtl in i 1 FRANK SCHULTE. a --n i nq tci oft last fall, Frank Schulte.

Since the Cubs began to win they have been figuring upon their opponents In the next world's series. You can't beat this sort of stuff.

More touted big league recruit ars making good this spring than In years-Cotton Turner, whose arm was too lame to play short in 1909, Is winging the ball from third and fielding in the same old marvelous manner. "What shall I give this big Frenchman?" one at ilcAleer's pitchers asked him, referring to Lajole. "Toss up anything you've got, with a prayer behind it and duck your nutt," replied the sage of Youngstown, Here's a little Comlskey touch that may explain why the old Roman Is so popular.

When one of his tloket sellers sold too many bleacher seats, Commy took a hand in the game and herded about 500 fans into the grandstand Instead of turning them loose on the grass.

Ducky Holmes has been Indefinitely suspended by President Cavanaugh. Wonder what the Southern league boss would have done had Holmes really opened up? It's farther from the plate to first than from first to the plate on a close play. Now that the Cubs have defeated "Slats" Sallee, the human hairpin has graduated from the Jinx class for the once world's chamnlons. DYSPEPSIA Can Be Cured.
