apparently rest with the Washington
Cross Country Club. Having, gathered
together all the available long-distance
men. OF this city, the Cross Country
Cub has for the past two months been
conducting a regular system, of training

urday is the most formidable band of
runners ever seen around these parts

Greek Cantzas to Run.
A novel attraction of Washington's
contingent will be the presence of Jeane
n. Cantzas, Greek. who Is now a resi-
dent of this city. Cantzas was a COM
petitor in the international marathon at
Athens in 1909. and he is looked upon by
many as a most dangerous man. He

run unattached. attended by one of his
fellow countrymen on bicycle. He will
make a mighty bid for the diamond
prize.

tries are two Swiss, a FTenchman a
Canadian, and a Carlisle Indian, SO the

etween Washington and Baltimore. but

will cheer The runners on Saturday as
they come up Pennsylvania avenue.
