RUNNING CROSS COUNTRY
Great Grit Shown by Y. NJ. O. A
Athletes.
w. F. Ford Lost Both Shoes and Fin
ished the Course in His
Bare Feet.

A cross-country run under difficult and
disagreeabe circumstances was held this
morning by the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION under the sanction of the A L.
N. A. 1t was started at Association Park
shortly before IL o'clock this morning and
was witnessed by number of admirers of
the grit required for this most exacting of
all outdoor sports. The course was seven
and a quarter miles long, over variety of
snow-covered country, mostly in Virginia.
The line of the chase as published in Sat
urday's Star, marked by red flags, took the
runners over undisturbed and untramped
snowfields for part of the distance and
over slippery paths that prevented the best
good time was made.
The ten athletic fellows who took part
were rugged out in half hose and running
shoes, cotton jeans covering a greater part
of their legs, a light body covering and a
jersey, without caps for the most part
Unusual endurance, nerve, grit and deter
mination were demonstrated by all who
finished.
The Start.
With w. G. Stuart, 1902, of Pennsylvania
University. widely known Mike Stu
art the champion distance runner of the
District, scratch, the other starters were
sent out ahead with handicaps of from one
minute and fifteen seconds to three min
utes. The last three men to start finished
in the reverse order of their starting, and
more than fulfilled the predictions of their
most ardent supporters.
While the runners were speeding over the
whitemantled course every opening along
their path was eagerly scanned with field
glasses from the portico of the old Van
Ness manson. The change in the positions
of the runners took place on the other side
of Long bridge. Stuart came first in sight
on the return and finished the two APPS in
Association Park in good form at a strong,
steady pace, having good wind after his
long run. Tie first prize, a silver cup, went
to Stuart

ingly fresh as winner of the second prize,

Little W. F. Ford of the Y. NJ. C. A, the
smallest fellow in the lot, who won the
silver medal by finishing third, probably
showed the greatest grit. He lost his right
shoe in the middle of the seven-mile course
as he turned for home and dropped his left
shoe passing the bathing beach, running
barefooted in the snow from the time his
shoes came off, and dropped in a breath
less manner after crossing the tape.
c. w. Pmper and ]. Graham entered As
sociation Park running together and maue
the last lap in sprint, the former winning
by fifteen yards. They secured the bronze
medal and badge, respectively. q. F. De

such a large, stalwart athlete. A. A

French Broad, two thousand feet above the

skies and incompatible climate, whose
praises have been sung BY poets, and whose
