twenty Ave hundred spectators are
still amazed today over the great
running OF. Hannes Kohlema.nen last
night at the Tabs games held in the
First Regiment Armory. The Won
derful Finlander, champion distance
runner of the world. tore around the
circular track with great speed. I'M
paced, in the gruelling part of the
race, desperately determined in his
abort to cut down a 150-yard handi-
cap with which Sidney Leslie, of the
Long Island A. c., was presented in
the three-mile handicap event.
Kohlemainen spent his strength in
cutting down his rivals lead, and
when the time came for the final
sprint Leslie showed wonderful grit,
holding his advantage by two feet as
the pair few over the tape. Kohle-
mainen made the full three miles in
ID minutes so 4-5 seconds over a track
that measured nine laps to the mile.
Early in the race Kohlemainen,
Louis Scott and Willie Kramer hung
together, as if they were parts of a

smooth harmony Kramer took the
lead and was setting the pace at two
miles, the nross-country champion
leading, with Scott, who is the record
holder for the four miles measure, in
second place.
Kohlemainen was in third place.
Kramer seemed to be going along IN

down and quit soon after passing the
two-niIe mark. Scott then jumped
to the front to cut down the handi-
cap which Leslie chung to with such
determination. The Finlander let out
on his whirlwind sprint during the
twenty-first lap, and maintained It
the rest of the distance. The crowd
worked itself into frenzy as the
light-haired foreigner started to close
in on Leslie, the leader. Leslie ap-
peared to pay no attention to his dis
tinguished opponent until he felt the
Firms hot breath on his back. he
shot away again like a hare under
chase. with Kohlemainen in fierce
pursuit, but try as he might the
alien athlete could not overcome the
Long islander, and Leslie broke the
tape a winner by a foot.
