Johnny Gallagher, Georgetowns IA
nous runner who last year was seventh
in the Olympic Marathon at Stockholm,
Sweden. may be enrolled among the
athletes who are to take part in the
annual Times-News Marathon race rom
Laurel to Washington.

and does not know whether he wants to
60 that distance. 1t is not unlikely that
the great little distancer will put in
his entry for the race and all followers
of the sport will be assured record
breaking performance.
There is little doubt but that Gala
CHER is the one best bet among the dis
tance runners in this section of the
, country. Last fall he took the South
Atlantic distance championship, breez-
ing along 10 the finish ahead Of all
the others.
If he goes in the Times-News race
April Il there seems little doubt but
that he will be able not only to lead
the others in but will be able to hang
up a new figure Cor the distance.

OF spirit among the members.
NJ. f. King, of the Memorial Athletic
Club. is the second runner to ask Tor
a Washington entry for the TimeS-News
race. King has run in many races be-
fore and has always come up in the

Club intends putting something like
twenty-five runners in the Times News

Union lifts the ban on them.
