 Walter Smith, the Brooklyn school boy, who rides under the colors of the Kin gsCounty Wheelmen, has put the mark for five miles down so low that many wonder if it ever will be low cred.

 can championship at ten miles last
 Saturday from Taylor, Kramer and Mcfarland. He also is the e-mile c11 Tinn of A lIctpa1i1 1a vi in o. xxror, Hn title during his visit there last winter. On July 31 last, at Salt Lake City, he
