Of the Walkers Club. VINO won a ma
tional championship back in 1902.
A pair Of rubber sneakers played an
important part in the victory Of kei-
ser. The latter preferred TO wear this
footwear instead OF the usual leather
shoes. The change helped keiser in
the hike along the Ocean Boulevard,
which was covered with ice. Wright
and keiser raced each other neck and
neck from the sixth 20 the ninth mile.
with Wright showing that he was as
speedy as or old. However. when kei-
SCI began TO pull away a mile from
home Wright. who is now thirty-nine
years old, began to slip on the icy
pavement. which enabled his opponent
20 move into the lead.
The winner completed the course in
the actual time OF l:33:25. with his
veteran rival only 80 seconds behind
him. y. f. Goldstein, Of the Pastime
Athletic Club. was third.
OF the oldtimers' division. Arthur
Arnold. of the Pastime Athletic Club,
who has reached his forty-eighth birth
day. was the first one home. in twelfth
position. Second prize in this division
went to W. J. Allen. also Of the Pas
time organization, who was two places
back and who has reached the half
century mark. Robert MacLuskey, OF
the Walkers Club. who has reached the
slXty-seventh milestone. finished in
eighteenth place and was awarded the
third prize.
A field of l43 pedestrians started on
tie long journey. with Eddie REM and
Dick Remer on the scratch mark. The
time prize went TO the latter. who fin
isEed in thirtieth place. in the actual
walking time of 1921. Although
four minutes behind the record for the
trail. the performance is a creditable
one in the face OF the conditions
throughout.
