AFTER NATIONAL TITLE
Entries for Cross-C Country Cham
pionship Promise Good Ram.

The national cross-country championship run
under the auspices of the Amateur Athletic
Union. Will be held to-day over the New York
Athletic Club course, at Travers Island. Tho
start for the senior championship will be at 3
O'Clock. while the juniors will he sent off fifteen
minutes later.
For some reason hard to explain no clubs out
side of New York have made entries and the
race Will be little moro than a repetition of the
metropolitan championship run in Long Island
City last Saturday when the Irish-American
Athletic Club the team championship and
George V. Bonhag the individual title Bonhag
is the favorite for the race to-day. as he won
so easily week ago that it is hard to how
he can be beaten, barring accidents l.. P.
Jones, of the University OF Pennsylvania, who
won the intercollegiate cross-country champion
ship two weeks ago, might have forced Bonhas
out. but his name does not appear in the entries.
The New York Athletic Club team will be
stronger than last Saturday, and It is just pos
sbe that IL may turn the tables the Irish
Americans for the team championship With
Ronhag, Daily, Joyce. Cohn and Frank, however.
The wearers Of the green will be hard to beat.
Five clubs are entered for the Junior cham
pionship. with the New York Athletic Club a
strong favorite in spite Of the poor showing of
the team a week ago.
The course over which the race will he held
was considered the best cross-country track in
tercolegiate course this fall. Starting from the
clubhouse at Travers Island the runners will
follow the road which leads to the Pelham sta
tion until past the church and then. branching
down side road for about fifty yards, they
strike through a quarter-mile stretch of brush
known as the first woods They swing back to
the Pelham road for a short distance, then
through a wooded patch of a mile and thence
back to point near the start. Three times
around the course will complete the six and a
half miles and in each circuit the runners
counter five obstacles-a water jump. two fences
and two stone walls, the race VIII not lack
variety The entries are as follows:
