ANOTHER SCOOP FOR THE 0. P.
ASSOCIATED PRESS WENT WRONG AGAIN ON THE MARATHON RACE
(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Seattle, July Jo ? The associated press papers are hav
ing a hard time squeezing out of the story sent out by them
yesterday to the elfect that Dorando, the Italian, died at
the end of the ract. as the result of over exertion. The
t'ui ed Press pa pel's had a clean scoop on the fact that
Hayes, the American, was declared the winner.
London. July 25 ? Hayes, the American, who won the
Marathon race of over 2?> miles, feels no ill elFects from it.
Dorando, the Italian, who dropped unconscious at the end
of the run and who was at first declared the winner, says
he remembers nothing after entering the home stretch. On
account of the terrific struggle it is doubtful if the Mara
thon race will ever be run again.
