and when the runners got out on the
dirt roads they found them decidedly
heavy. After the runners had passed
the railroad crossing on Ashland av-
enue they were permitted to pick their
path but even with this privilege the
roads and paths continued heavy. How
land avenue tested the strength of the
runners and Wiesang who had been
far IN the rear from the start gave up
shortly after he had left the improved
portion of the road.
Fredelake with his big lead was the
pathfinder for the bunch and the other
contestants in the race followed the
way he led without question. At the
turn at the Stahl Corners there had
been no change in the position of the
runners with the exception that Werve
had closed in little on Fredelake.
Petersen got bad fall just before he
reached Stahl s Corners but his injury
was So slight that it did not hinder
him In the race. At the turn Palm and
Petersen changed places and Petersen
began to set the pace for the pair. At
the turn into Ashland avenue Frede-
lake was leading Palm and Petersen
by nearly a quarter of mile but Wer-
We had closed up the gap and was on
the heels of Fredelake. He logged
him IN this fashion to the very limits
of the city and when Butchers Corners
was passed the lead of Fredelake was
cut down to only few inches. 1t was
evident at this point that it was a
battle royal between Racine and Ken
osha and as the men closed in on Park
avenue Werve picked up his coach and
the sprint down the avenue began.
Fredelake had been worn down by the
pursuit about the course and he was
noticeably worried as the two started
on the long lap to the finish. Forum
ately the officials of the course were
able to keep the way open for the two
runners and they ran together to Dem
ing street when Werve with a burst of
speed took the lead and from that on
he showed Fredelake the way. Frede-
lake called on all his latent powers to
respond but he had set too hot pace
and at the finish ne could not make
the sprint necessary to give him vic
tory. Werve had conserved all of his
energies for that last 200 yards and he
broke into the last stretch seemingly
fresh and had no trouble holding his
lead. There was pretty race for the
fourth place between Palm and Peter
sen and up to Deming street Peter
sen had a few feet the lead but the
seasoned old marathon runner here
showed some speed and broke away
from Petersen and went over the fin
ish line five seconds ahead of him.
The condition of the seven runners
at the finish showed the splendid con-
dition they must have been in when
they entered the race for notwithstand-
ing the bad weather and the heavy
roads every man finished strong. There
was no collapse of the runners after
the race and after a rub down all of
them were in condition for a Thanks
giving Day dinner.
