IS A NOVICE AT THE GAM! Best Time, However, Is Made By Grimtli, Of John Hopkins, Whose Team Captures Honors. Washington, Jan. 1. J. P.

Fleming, run ning in the colors of the George Washington "University and heretofore unknown as an athlete of any marked ability, won the 10-mile cross-country run which was held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association this morning. He defeated a field of 34 starters, and al though his handicap of 4 minutes and 45 seconds seems generous, this plucky boy ran the distance in 61 minutes and 30 sec onds, a remarkable performance on the muddy course for a novice. The best time of the day, however, was that made by M. Griffith, the Johns Hopkins University crack, who finished second. He started on scratch and covered the.

distance in 57 minutes and 33 seconds. The Baltimore hoy proved himself to be. a powerful runner, his stamina being even better than that of the winner. M. J.

Fraile, of the local Y. M. C. ran third. Each of the first three to finish, was given a handsome silvej loving cup.

Although a Johns Hopkins man did fiot win the race, yet his team carried off first honors by winning the banner. It scored 53 points, its nearest competitor being the Y. M. C. with 56.

Hundreds of persons lined the course, while motorcycles and automobiles darted here and there along the route, the occupants in many instances uttering words of encouragement to their favorites. At precisely 11 o'clock the first athlete was sent on his way and before long 34 were running. Those wTith the big handicaps showed signs of distress before half of the distance had been covered, and the scratch men and those with only a few seconds', time, allowance gradually wore them down. Connors fell in behind Griffith at the two-mile mark. The Hopkins runner set a killing pace, but Connors held on with determination, and it was impossible for the other scratch men to gain on them.

One by one the leaders were overtaken, until at the turn for home only five yards separated this pair from the lead. Coming down the long hill Griffith set a good pace and shook off Connors. He then went after the leaders, but there was one in front who refused to be caught. It was Fleming, and he, too, was setting a killing pace with, Bolac, who was running unattached. The gruelling pace finally told on Bolac, who collapsed.

After an hour's rest he was able to go to his home. The struggle between Fleming and Bolac was not the only one, however, for Connors at this juncture was making a strong bid for fourth position. ST. V. Cannon crept up.

while Fraile, of the Y. M. C. who took second place when Bolac quit, set out after the flying Fleming. Connors complained of his legs and he began to falter.

It was then that Griffith spurted, and as they neared the monument he was running in nice form. He spurted and passed Fraile, but Fleming refused to be caught, and he crossed the line an easy winner. HOW THE! FINISHED. Handi- Actual Fin- aras, I'- Fleming G.W.U. 31.

I get on my knees and pray only that the man I box and I myself should have no hard feelings and that nothing should which would make bad feeling between ns. but that all should be well, whether I win or my opponent wins.
