BOlae Never Headed.
AS soon as the first nile had been run
around the Monument lot Bolac struck
off in the lead and held first position
throughout he won by half a mile from
his nearest competitor and finished with
out Sign OF distress. HIS actual time
for ten miles was one hour and three
minutes, five minutes behind the time
made by John P Fleming. who won last.
years race.
OF the thirty entries. five declined tha
issue leaving twenty-five starters. Two
of these, H g Hansen, of the Kendall
Athletic Club. and Frank Frazier. OF
Strayer's Business College. dropped out.
But one man. c. c. Mulladay, of the
Kendall Athletic Club. failed TO finish
within the liberal time limit OF l hour
and 10 minutes.
Although scheduled 10 start at 1o.31
o clock, il was nearly II before the run
ners were sent of. All around the
Monument Lot the runners had 10 con-
tend with deep snow on the bride paths,
but when they crossed over into Virginia
they met with better conditions. or.
rather. conditions less bad, for AT no
point was the going good.
BY the time BOlac struck the causeway,,
on the way out, II was easy 10 see that
he had the race absolutely at his mercy;
Although Stecker and Dunn were run-.
ming in great form, which they kept I'd.
throughout the race, the liberal handicap
Of six minutes that Bolac had was too
much for them. and the only interest in
the race lay IN the doubt as 20 who
would finish second.
With several men in front of him Dunn
cut loose his reserve speed coming across
the bridge on the way back. and led tha-
second fight Of runners TO the wire with!
comparative ease
The race started and finished at the Fiji
teenth street entrance to the Monument
grounds, and the course was around the.
Monument bride path. along the Speed
way. through Potomac Park. across High.
way Bridge, and about four miles over.
the Virginia roads leading TO Fort Myer..
with the return over the same route un-
til Potomac Park was reached. when dif-
ferent roads were traversed, and the run
ners reaching the finishing line by way Of
