present at the ten mile running and
seven mile walking championship tn Ia
held on South Field. Columbia Univer-
atty. tihs afternoon. These events have
attscted unusual interest this year be-
cause OF the prominence attained lately
by Willie Kyronen, who will be the
strongest competitor OF his fellow towns
man. Hannes Kolehmalnen, in the ten
milo run. kyronens only defeat in the
last few months was accomplished by
Nick Gianakopulos In the road run a
week ago, but II was recognized by most
OF the experts present that Kyronen would
have won easily IL 1t had not been for the
Interference OF the crowd
There Is no question that Kyronen ia

pion TO his last effort. This may mean
s'reduction of the long standing record
of Alfred Shrubb IL Kolehmainen la wound

condition and not only will retain his title
but may put new figures on the book.
Robertson said yesterday: AN that IL
needed Is as good weather as we had a
year ago for Kolehmainen to eclipse
Shruob's performance
In case the record is In danger care
ful work on the part OF tho officials will
be required. The timekeepers will be
kept almost as busy as tho runners in
order to keep the intermediate times which
are necessary when records are made
Tho track at South Field measures n lit
tle less than quarter OF n mile, so that q
new mark has to be laid for tho finish
OF each quarter. This caused trouble a
year ago and will keep the officials busy
to-day.
In spite of the fact that the seven
mile walking title IL held by Fred Kaiser
OF tho New York A. c.. the chief in
terost in that event Is centred in the
race between Eddie REM of the Mohawk
A. C. and Dick Rerner OF the Irish Ameri-

himself by winning the indoor title OF the
