CHICAGO, June SO-Featured by a
Marathon race, won by Thomas ].
Hicks of Boston, the Central Associa-
tion of the Amateur Athletic union
held a record-breaking meet on
Marshall Field here today.
One National A. A. U. mark, the
discus throw, was broken, eight Cen
tral association records were bettered
and two tied. The team of the Chicago
Athletic association, made up of ath-
letes from all parts of the middle west,
scored 70 points and walked away with
the team banner.
One of the greatest features of the
day was the Marathon race, scheduled
to start from Evanston at 1:30 in the
afternoon. The course lay through
the city by the most direct route to
Marshall Field, where eight times
around the track completed the twen-
ty-fve miles of the race.
The heavy rains of the last few days
were not favorable to making fast
time in the track events.
Twenty-eight runners of the original
entry list of thirty-eight for the Mara
thon race started from the Evanston
Golf club grounds at 1856 a. m. Until
race was a see-saw affair. In the first
fifteen miles of the twenty-five-mile
grind the lead was successfully held
by Raymond O'Keefe of the American
Athletic association, T. J. Hicks of
Boston, Louis Chanenson a Chicago
high school boy, and Albert CORY, the
French distance runner.
AT Twenty second street, with ten
miles to go, Hicks made a squirt and
led the field by half a block with
Cory second and Alexander Thibeau
of the Northwest Skating club third.
Hicks was first TO reach Marshall
Field, where the last two miles were
run on the quarter-mile cinder path.
He trotted along at a steady pace and
was never in danger from Thibeau,
who finished second, 400 yards back
and almost "all in" Cory was third
through the gate. but could not stave
off Hatch, who ran the last stage at a
tremendous clip and was rapidly over
hauling both the leaders.
Louis Marks, First regiment, Chi
cago, was fifth. The men generally
ended in fair shape, thirteen of the
starters finishing the grind.
