IN BIG RACE
Harry McLean, the Hopi Indian wlj
broke into tUe limelight right her<
in Seattle by winning the senior five
mile run at the national A. A. U.
championships from Fred Bellars. of
the New York Athletic Club, is again
In Seattle. This time McLean is com
Ing as a professional, to enter th<
Marathon race billed for Sunday, Oct-,
ober 17, at Dugdale's ball park.
McLean is still an unknown quanti- 1
ly, although he has appeared in
public several times since his race
here last August. Nobody knows how
fast this silent, bronzed Indian of the
deserts can run if the pace Is fast
enough from the start. He is not a
sprinter, but he has a wonderful
amount of stamina and his endurance
ought to carry him over the Marathon
distance at a hot clip.
Ernest Rhelnmuth, a distance run
ner from Skagway, Alaska, entered
the race yesterday, and the wise ones
are rather expecting him to make a
pood showing, though he will be
doing wonders if he gets a place in
this company. Rhcinmuth lias never
established an authentic record for
the Marathon distance, but he is a
willing game worker and a conscien
tious trainer and he is credited with
turning some fast races up north.
?t. Yves, the Frenchman who is
now champion of the world, is due
to arrive tomorrow or next day, and
will start training at once. ? Seattle
