New York, Dec. 15.-Vil1er Kyro- nen, a tOWheaded little Finn, was crowned America S cross country king recently.
 Through a blinding rain that cut to the bone, in mud which in places was ankle deep and was at all times treacherous, slippery footing, Kyronen raced to a decisive, clean cut victory and made, despite the terrible con- dltlons, record for the senior na- tlonal cross country championship race of the Amateur Athletic union at Van Cortland park recently.
 Hannes Kolehmainen. the flying Finn, head of the 1912 Olympic games, was second to Kyronen, and Johnny Overton of Yale intercollegi- ate cross country champion, was third.

TIGERS VS. co. E.
Go. E. c. N. G., Basketball Quintet to Tackle Hartford Five Here Tomorrow.

. Manager Johnny Zehrer's crack Go, F. c. N. G., basket tossers will be called upon to face a tough oppon- ent tomorrow evening at the State arrorry, when the Tigers of Hartford will invade the Hardware City in the quest of the military boys scalp. The visitors long ago attained the reputa- ton of being one of the fastest teams that the Capitol city boasts, and as the locals are some little team themselves, a fast contest should be the outcome.
 Tn the visitors lineup are such stars as Fitzgerald, Courtney and Lawson of football fame. The locals will use their regular lineup, with Bloom, Thompson and Kilduf play ing forwards, Paul at Center, Zehrer and Becker guards. Bretcshneider will referee and the usual preliminary game will precede the main contest. Dancing will be held at the close of the game.

kyronen won by margin of seventy five yards, while Overton was fully twice that distance behind Kolehmai- nen. George Holden of the Yonkers Y. M. c. A., was fourth and Mike De- vaney of the Melrose Athletic associa- tion fifth.
 Kyronen, the victor, covered the course in 32 minutes 46 seconds, and his time will stand as record for the event. The old mark for the course was 32 minutes 37 seconds, made by Gaston Strobino of the New York Athletic club, in winning the junior national championship title a year ago. StroblnO raced over frozen ground under conditions that were almost ideal. Photo shows Kyronen finishing the run.

MITCHELL TO LEAD CUBS
Braves Coach Is Signed by Weegh-
 man When Attempts to Land Stall. Iings Prove Futile

Iings Prove Futile. Chicago, H., Dec. 15.-Failing tol bag the big game he was after, Char ley Weeghman, president of the
 Chicago Nationals, did the next best thing-he landed the biggest thing in sight Weeghman wanted a man lilxe' McGraw or Stallings to manage the Cubs and did everything possible to get the latter before he saw the fu- tility of further dickering with Percy Haughton, president of the Braves. Last night Weeghman closed a deal with Haughton for Fred Mitchell, the Brave coach, and Mitchell now is Cub manager. Fred already had accepted terms before the deal was completed. The Cubs gave up Outfielder Joe Kelly and cash for Mitchells release.
 A Baseball Veteran.
 Mitcell is baseball veteran, whose education and temperament have made him an ideeal coach of pitchers He is 38 years old and was born in Alton, N. H. Mitchell started playing minor league ball as a pitcher in 1897 with Concord, N. H. and got his first big league job with the Boston Ameri- cans in 1901.
 Mitchell wound up his playing career as catcher for Rochester in 1911 and 1912. When Stallings was appointed manager of the Braves, in | 1913, one of his first moves was to give Mitchell a comission as coach of ! pitchers. The Brave pitching staff ' during the Stallings regime is splen- did tribute to Mitchelrs coaching genius.
 Joe Kelly, the outfielder, who goes to Chicago in the Mitchell deal, was with Pittsburgh in 1914, where he had only fair success. He was released to Indianapolis where he did some ter rife batting last season, and was pur- chased by Weeghman in midseasonV for a large sum. However, he showed little more than he had in 1914, hit ting .254 in 54 games with Chicago.

 Football Eleven

Ithaca, N. Y, Dec 16.-Following Harvards dropping Cornell from it's football schedule comes from Cam bridge the news that the track ad- visory committee intends severing track relations with the Ithacans as soon as the present contract expires.
 Members of the Harvard committee say that the desire to meet Pronceton< in dual track meet is the principaN reason for the Crimson's decision to drop Cornell They point out that Cornell always has been hard nut for Harvard to crack and say that the biennial trip to Ithaca is distasteful to the Cambridge athletes
 Coming right on the heels of the an nouncement that Harvard had de- cided not to meet Cornell on the grid iron the decision to sever track and field connections too would tend to make some persons think that the re- lations between the institutions aree somewhat strained
