Runa One Thousand Mile Contest.
Eugene Estoppey. chapnion long dis

recently at Venice, Cal., nished the
most remarkable endurance run in the
history of the sport when he negoti
a-.d successfully the last mile in his
1,000 miles in a 1,000 hours’ race
Estoppey was picked from his feet
and put on the shoulders of the mob
that surged about him and paraded
about the hall.
He began the race at 9 o'clock Sun
day morning, Nov. 20, and finished
Jan. 1 For a thousand hours he had
been running at the beginning or every
hour night and day, rain or shine, in
or well. He. ridiculed and discour-
aged. was persistent.
Many College Men on Athletics.
Connie Mack can come very near
. tting an all college nine in the field,
and it is doubtful if any team win
ning a championship has had so many
college men in its lineup. First Base-
man Harry Mavis attended Girard col
lege of Philadelphta in his early days;
Jack Barry graduated from Holy
Cross, Where his work as shortstop at-
tracted Manager Connie Mack; Second
Baseman Eddie Collins played on the
Columbia university nine; Pitcher Al-

OUR RIGHTS
Our rights extend just to the place
where others- rights begin and not
an inch further. Before we begin
to talk about them it is well for us
to examine the boundary lines close-
ly. The man who "stands upon
his rights is not always a pleasant
or well poised figure , he often has
one foot upon his neighbor’s ground.
