The tall Finn, Kolehmainen, brother
of the winner Of the 5000 and l'ooo

eppointment. He took the lead at the
beginning. but Gitshaw caught him at
five miles, and with Macarthur ana d.

cheered him Justify, and as he lay pant

Adolpb hurried over and shook him by
the hand and patted him on the back. A
small marty of South African enthusl-
ssts had an enormous laurel wreath
ready. in anticipation of victory OF
which they were confident from the nrst'
They lifted the two green jerseyed atm
letes on their shoulders and slung the
laurel over Macarthur, carrying the pair
across the field.
Half an hour later, after champagne
had been opened in the dressing roofh'
the African delegation again brought out
the victors and bore them around the
track. to the blare of music and more
cheers.
Strobino was fifteenth at the turn by
the quaint Sollentuna church, which the
runners rounded to retrace their tracks
Two Americans were ahead OF MIN at
that time. and he ran seven miles with
Tewanima; he then joined Kolehmainen
until the Finn dropped far back in the
rear. He finished well up with the TWO
leaders and seemed to be in much better
condition than either Of them, for he
stopped to- shake hands with rev
friends and then walked briskly from the
track.
II seemed a long wait after Strobino
finished before another runner appeared
at the entrance. Then second shield

was the Indian Sockalexis. Fifty yards
behind him came the Canadian Du1y'
who strove hard to overcome the lead 81

gree. but the Indian crossed the line

fine condition.
While Gitshaw arrived little less
than two minutes behind Macarthur, and
strobino fifty seconds later, period OF
more than three minutes elapsed before
Sockalexis and Duffy came through.
Then a dozen or more arrived in quick
succession. Each runner displaying the
Stars and Stripes got a rousing cheei
when he passed the American stand.
Every one of the American runners
came in strongly Forshaw ran as cas-
lily as when he was starting and waved
his hand IN response to cheers. The
King and Queen and Crown Princess
in the royal box applauded the first COM
ers. and the Crown Prince greeted them
effusvely.
A Greek, who finished twenty-flfth,
gave a military salute to the stands.
Dahlberg, Swede stopped fifty feet
from the end. His legs were paralyzed,
and he rubbed them vigorously before he
could proceed; then he walked stiftly
over the line
