RUNNERS CHEERED
BY TWO THOUSAND
Cross-Country Race Most
Successful Association
Has Held.
ELPHISTONE WINS
WITHOUT TROUBLE
Baltimore Runners Two Team
Mates Take Second and
Third Place.

The third annual croSs-country run
OF the South Atlantic division was the
most successful held since the inaugu-
ration of the run, and attracted the
largest crowd of spectators.
II was no surprise to the 1000 spec
tators or more when Henry c. Elphin-
stone walked away with the race, for
when it became known that F. c. Lee,
Of Johns Hopkins University, and John
Stecker. of the washington Y. NJ. C. A.
had not put in their appearance the re-
suit was little in doubt
Elphinstone had his own team
mates, John Y Kelley and E. A. Geller
as his closest competitors, these two
men finishing in the order named.
lElphinstonene gOtiated the course of
six and one-quarter miles in 80 minutes
and 20 seconds, but his poor time is eN-
planned by the poor and muddy condi-
ton of the going, and the winner could
probably have come across the tape
much sooner had he been forced TO eX-
tend himself.
Ran Game Race.
Washington athletes did not shine par
ticularly in the race, although H. G.
Hulfsh, of the Washington Cross
Country Club. ran a plucky race, and
in his effort to overcome the lead taken
by the Baltimore men, he became eX-
hausted and finished weakly. He was a
full minute behind the winner: John
d. Rolac also ran a game race and
finished next to his teammate, Hullfish.
Thirty Of the forty men to start fin
ished, seven dropping out at the first
turn. They were A. Z. Carson and John
McLaTine, of the Fifth Regiment; II.
