yjti" THE WASHINGTOir- HERALD. MONDAY. JULY 15. 1912. ft STROBIHO TAKES THIRD "PLACE IN, THE MARATHON Continued from Pace Six.

The runners were led out of th ln-, closure by the, Swedish team, and they set a terrific -oace until they killed' themselves. Five, Swedes were first out of the Stadium, jet, after the first three jnlles of heart-breaking running, there was jiot representative of the hostess country Jvlth the leaders. The Giant Finn, Kolehmalnen, was leading during the earlier stages of the race, with Ahlgen, of New York, a close second. came along lourtn. taking It easy over the hilly, rough country, ret always managing to main within striking distance of the leaders.

At the half-way mark no notice bad Been taken of etrobino. Me was nui even considered, as the checkers found him behind the fifteenth man. A llttlo over nine miles from the fin Ish he began to show. He had pulled from sixteenth up to ninth place, and was running so easily and with such apparent good wind that the officials began to notice him. Doggedly he sprinted ahead of man after man, until three miles from home he had fourth place.

Then the big Finn dropped out. with none but the South Aincans ahead, the New Jersey boy sprinted. He becan too late. There is little doubt. judging from appearances, had Stroblno begun his sprint a little sooner ne woum hate at least finished second, and possibly first.

He let the South Africans get too big a lead berore starting. aicArtbnr Tnkca I.eail. While the latter Tvas closing the gap between himself and the filing leaders a battle rojal was on between the South Africans as to who would be first. Three miles from the tape Gltshaw was lead lng. McArthur.

bringing into use every ounce of reserve strength at his com' mand. sprinted to the fore. He went so far ahead that, though so exhausted he could scarcely stand as he crossed the finish line, bis countryman could not overtake him. The joung American run ner finished strong. Coming Into -view of the thousands that lined the course Just after the cheering for the second man In the event had died away, he sprinted to the tape, while the Americans lor the audience went wild with joy.

American Flnlshrs Mronc As he crossed the line those from his native land who could rushed to his side. JIany half expected to see him topple oier with exhaustion after his terrific grind, but he did not. After shaking hands with the crowd around him. hi modestly departed for the training quar ters. His chief Joy mb that he had vin- aicatted his friends who had sent him to Stockholm Ver different was the finish of the winner When the announcers stationed along the course informed the crowd that thej could expect to see the leaders within a few seconds.

eery ese was directed toward the turn, around which seventy athletes had disappeared more than two hours before. Suddenly into iew staggered a white- suited athlete The multitude remem benng. no doubt, the pathetic scene ir London four jears. ago, when Dorando staggered in sight of bis goal, jet drop red before he could finish, seemed to hold Its breath. The sympathy of every coul In those crowded stands went out to McArthur as they watched his struggles.

Finally he staggered across the tape and wilted to the.groundL TheffcreaY llaratfion." as won. 2onth African Cnrrled On. There was a rather jagged cheer from the stands. Apparently the spectators still labored under the suspense which held them "from the moment the South African came In sight. He was surrounded by his friends and carried from the field.

Many thought him unconscious, but he was able to smile as thej bore him awa. What they lacked in enthusiasm for the winner, the spectators bestowed on his teammate as the latter flashed into view a minute after McArthur. Gltshaw entered the stadium running strong Up to and over the finish line he never faltered, and the crowd, led by a handful of South Africans turned loose all their pent up enthusiasm. Seemingly the crowd had once more found Its lungs after Its distress over the agony of McArthur. After Stroblno came Soxalexis running strong and with roucn reserve force.

Then came the others, all In good condition. The first nine finished strongly and in rapid succession. Almost every runner fought hard at the flnifch. though they knew that the leaders had crossed the lice fifteen or twentj' minutes before them. The services of physicians were required but by a few, the majority showing no Ill-effects from the exertions.

Whether it affected the final result In the least those interested In tho technical aide of foot racing are discussing with interest the fact that the two leaders were the only ones who ran bareheaded despite the terrible sun.

Since leaving college, Klcppmeyer has been engaged the automobile business, and nit' was but recently that he became a member of the local firm. Kloppmejer Is popular In town, owing to his general good-fellowship, and. the news that he will have a football team this fall will be received with a great dal of Interest by his many friends. There Is no dancer of the Mercury Athletic Club quitting the Capital cTty League.

This was announced last night by Manager Ray Akers. of that club. There has been several rumrs that this little outfit would quit the league, but thej- were unfounded, according to Man ager Akers. Res Wilson, the former star of the Business High School team, has been signed by the Mercurj. along with Toomey and FIddesop.

With the addition of this trio. Manager Akers hopes to teat the Cornell team out for the title In the second series. The Independence League race Is hot one. and one which bids fair to be the closest in the District. The Tepco and Loftier teams are fighting tooth and nail for the coveted honor and neither team is overlooking a bet, with the re suit that the stars of the District have been signed by these aggregations.

The Washington Herald club will meet the Park Athletic Club to-morrow In the Northern Association and a battle royal Is to be expected. Eddie Thompson and Elmer Doleman will be the battery for the Newsies, while Gordan and Bag-gctte will more than likely work for Manager Miller's lads. This game Is sure to be a battle from the start, as the keenest rivalry exists between these clubs. Mat Noone. the hard-hitting first sack-er of the St.

The athletes of the American Olympic team are enthusiastic over the sights theyaro seetng In Sweden. Apart from the attractions of the Olympic games. Sweden Is a perfect vacation ground. It may be roughly divided into three sections, the forest region to the north, with Its glorious ping woods- and noble rivers; the mountain region to the northwest, embracing Lapland, with Its midnight sun; and the southern region. a land of lakes and fields and smiling landscapes.

The la at named district Is characterized by fertile plains culthated from almot prehistoric times, but still embracing wide expanses "unimpaired by any desecrating hand." Within Its borders lie many of the principal towns glorious Stockholm lt'elf; the femous seaport of Gothenburg: Malmo, next In Importance: LInkoplng. with Its grand cathedral; and others claiming attention. The traveling throughout the country is very comfortable, the sightseeing easily accomplished, the people most courteous, and the accommodation good and reasonable at ordinary times, although, of course, some Increase may naturally be expected when, the games are In full swing. English is spoken nearly eery-where. During the months of June, July, and August there Is scarcely any night, and the grand light effects are a constant source of delight and admiration, while from iho middle of September to the end of October there Is perfect Indian summer.

Fourteenth and A Streets Northeut. JJitS ot Baseball. Wilbur Robinson, of the Giants, earns the reputation of belng.the best pitcher developed In tbe business. It be does aa well with Jeff Tesreau as he did with Marquard. he will mora than make a name for himself.

Pitcher Chick former Pirate, sold by Kansas City to New Orleans and turned back by that club and then sold to Grand Rapids, refused to accept thev latter ass'gnment. and Manager Carr finally arranged for him to go to TopekaT In selling tho release of Earl Gardner to the Cleveland club, the Tankees have reached the point where patience ceases to be a virtue. Gardner, a natural In-fielder and a good batsman, bad every chanca to prove his worth, but he did not pan out. He complained of a lame arm and a weak leg, and was not dependable. The same may be said of Jim Vaughn, now with the Washlngtons.

If Vaughn and Gardner display winning skill In their new berths, the conclusion can be drawn that they have successfully played for their releases on the HllL Ty Cobb gets ever- time he comes to bat and etery time he fields a ball. Of course, they don't actually hand It to him, but averaging up his salary with times at bat and his fielding chances, that's the way It worked out. He gets about $40 a game, which Is at the rate of nearly 130 an hour. The Illness of Doyle and Shafer shows how easy It would be to seriously cripple the Giant team. If anything happened to another lnflelder.

Otey Cran-dall would hate to jump In and plug up the gip. No matter how far ahead team may be, the pennant Is neer actually won unt I the necessary games are safely captured It Is said that Manager llurchell. of the Syracuse team, wants to trwda Outfielder Worrell and Shortstop Dletz. llurchell thought he was going to hav easy sailing with his bunch of ex-East ern leaguers, but he has found out to his distaste that the State League is a faster organization thaT he thought it was. Bill Sweeney continues to hit the ball regularly for the Braes.

KIrke. Campbell, Kllng and Titus also are hitting splendidly, whll Houwr and Devlin are lmprolng their figures right along Itourke 1 the only regular man on the tenm whoso batting has been so very fast that Manager Kllng Is providing the JoungMer with eerj- chance to get into the game with the hickory. Since the of Charley O'Leary to the managers job, an alliance has teen formed by Indianapolis with Detroit, and this, together with tho frlend-lj relations that haxe existed with the Chicago Cub, makes It appear that some talent will be supplied one of thee clubs. President Nain has promised the Indians aid, and a deal Is alreadj simmering with President Murph), of the Cubs. Hal Chase's path as a manager last season was made no easier by a tend-encj on the part of some of his plaers to "soldier" on him, to play for their own average regardless of any orders he might Issue.
