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. TURNERS ARE TO CELEBRATE

STANFORD EASILY VICTOR
CARDINALS OUTPLAY VANCOU

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.

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

There are several Christmas stories; one
an Indian tale by Mattle Morony ; another
with a German setting by Camilla Ring
house and a dainty little legend about the
'Evergreen" by Hulda Parr. Miss Ring-
house has an especially good apprecla
tion of Browning. The writer has evl
dently caught the music of the poet and
the Inspiration of the seer.
Considering the preoccupation of the
students with other interests, the athletic
benefit 'Wednesday afternoon was a de

in large numbers to hear Professor Leot-

for the first four terms, the students are

several books of the Iliad, the Ancient

of the King and Webster's Bunker Hill
