of the season in young Weilman. Last
season he performed creditably. Self
composure is one of his strong assets
which he showed to good advantage last
Friday against the Tigers. The first
three Tigers up compiled brace OF

Fritz Carlson OF Minneapolis, by his
exhibition of running in the Patriots
day marathon held under the auspices
of the Boston A. A., clearly asserted
his right to ranking among the anna
teur distance runners OF the United
States Carlson broke the tape over two
minutes ahead of Andrew Sockalexis,

unfavorablc weather, Carson's time was
remarkable. When Ryan established his
record last year, the race was pulled

been awarded the lsurels of the day. |
The course over which the marathon was !
conducted was in muddy shape, and the
weather was decidedly too chilly for |
the entrants.
