Fl G HT B U RNS AG AnJ MARATHON RECORD IS NOW MALOHETS Young Irish Runner, on Icy Course, Clips Eight Min utes From Time. TRAINED ONLY SHORT TIME Xr Mark Far Ahpad of Dora n do nd Longboat Time, and Show w Runner lo Be a Mane! of Speed. NEW TORK. Dec. 2d. Malcolm Ma- loney. of the Trinity Athletic Club, of Brooklyn, a newcomer In athletic, e tablished a new world's amateur run nlng record for the f till Marathon dis ranee of 3S miles. 3S5 yard. In a race from Rye on the Sound, to Columbus Circle, this city, today. Maloney ran away from a field of 115 contestants, finishing In fairly good condition. His time, two hours. , 3 minutes. 28 1-5 seconds. Is far ahead of all previous amateur records. J. F. Orowlev. of the Irish-American Ath letic Club, who won the Tonkers Mara thon race last Thanksgiving, finished second in two hours. 45 minutes, 12 1-5 seconds, and J. Clarke. Xavler A. A., New York City., was third In 2:47, 2-5. Course CoTered With Snow. Crowley won the Tonkers race In 2:44:35 over a road almost ankle deep in mud. but the course today was for the greater part covered with froxen snow, and Its slippery condition marks Maloney's work was a wonderful per formance. Maloney ran In the Tonkers race, but fainted after going 25 miles. Maloney came from County Clare, Ireland, three years ago. and has been in training only three months. He was one of the Trinity Club's team that won the Junior Cross championship In Cel tic Park. Long Island, six weeks ago. Today's race was under the sanction of the Amateur Athletic Union and President J. F. Sullivan accompanied the leaders from start to finish. Better Time Than Dorando. A comparison of Maloney's time today and that made by Dorando and Tom Longboat in their professional race over the same distance In Madison Square Garden, within the last five weeks, stamps the newcomer as a world-beater at the long distance run ning game. In beating Hayes, Dorando covered the distance Indoors In 2:45:05 2-5 and Longboat, when he defeated Dorando over the same course, was timed 2:45: 25 2-5. The course today was carefully measured by a corps of civil engineers. accompanied by representatives of the Amateur Athletic Union, so there can be no doubt as to the Maloney record being made over the full Marathon dis tance.

STANFORD EASILY VICTOR CARDINALS OUTPLAY VANCOU VER AT RUGBY. Nine to o Is Final Score of First Game of Series in British Columbia Contest. VANCOUVER, B. C, Dec. 26. Out played, outweighed and outgeneraled, the Vancouver rugby 15 went down to de cisive defeat in the first game of the series with the Stanford. University team for possession of the Cooper Keith in ternational rugby trophy at Brockton Point yesterday afternoon, the Cardinals scoring three tries, 9 points to 0. About 3600 rugby enthusiasts who witnessed the game left the Point convinced that the better team won. The Stanford men did not carry oft the honors without a determined light on the part of the Vancouver players, but it was a losing battle for the homesters. Stanford had much the better of the play In the first half of the game but though the ball was in Vancouver territory most of this period, the visitors were unable to get across the line until the last half. wlien Cheda scored a try on a fumble of a punt by Brydone-Jack, near the goal posts. The goal kick was missed and the half ended with the score 3 to 0. In the second half Vancouver forced the play most of the time but some loose work early in the half gave the Stanford men a chance to show their sprinting olllty and a couple of nice individual runs resulted In tries by Cheda and Hol man. The form shown by the Vancouver team was disappointing, and there will have to be a vast Improvement in play before the next game on Tuesday or the cup will surely go south.

LOSER IS MUCH DOWNCAST Face Is Sadly Disfigured, While Big Negro Scarcely Shows Mark. Challenges Pour in Upon the Winner. SYDNET, X. S. W.. Dec. 2. (Special.) Johnson will meeit Tommy Burns again in case Burns so desires. But the white man will have to take a dose of his own medicine and hide his time. Burns kept Johnson waiting for more than 16 monsths. Although Bill Squires challenges Jack. his defl is regarded as a Joke here. He is not supposed to have a shadow of a chance against the big colored man. and It Is doubtful if any promoter would hang up a purse. Hugh D, Mcintosh, promoter of the re cent bout, became disgusted with the op position which developed to his efforts to hold the bout, and it does not seem likely that he will offer a purse for a return match, although the receipts of the bat tie were highly profitable to . him. Burns in. Sorry Plight. Burns .was somewhat downcast today, but took his defeat philosophically on the whole. He said Johnson was simply too big for him snd that that was all there was to the bout. Today Burns is a sorry sight. His eyes are almost closed, his face is puffed up to almost twice its size, while his body bears evidence of the heavy punishment inflicted upon it by the negro. Johnson showed practically no signs of the battle, but admitted that he was de cidedly sore about the stomach. Where Johnson Feels Punches. "Burns got me often." he said with wince at the remembrance, "but he did not hurt me at the time. It was when the muscles around the stomach got sore this morning that I felt the punches. can lick hira any day in the week, but I must say he's a game enough fellow. Johnson has received several challenges by cable, as well as that hurled at him by Bill Squires. A belated message from Bob Fltzslmmons got to him today, when Jack, with a smile, remarked: Says Fitz Too Old. "Bob's getting a bit too old to go fter the title." It is believed that Mcintosh made fully 130.000 on the bout. Jack London, who witnessed the fight. says there was no fight. It was simply a slaughter, and resembled a grown man cuffing a naughty child. RECORD WINNER IS BEATEN Santa Anita- Track Victory Won by a Head. LOS ANGELES, Dec 26.
