WALTHEN SETS
PACE IN HORACE
MANN GAMES
Dobbs Ferry Team Takes
the Meet with Total of
80 Points.
By CANIE.

Charles Walthen, brawny athlete OF
Irving School, TarrytOwn, proved him
self versatile in being the star per-
former in the Horace Mann School
games, open to elementary school OF
Westchester County, held on its pictu-
rescue Fieldston Field, overlooking Van
Cortland Park, yesterday. The Hud-
son River boy entered five events. and
succeeded in winning three frsts and
two seconds.
He shone particularly in the field
events. Walthen would have had a
clean slate of first places had not Rarry
Ginniff, Of Dobbs Ferry, stood in tins
way in the two running races in which
they opposed each other. However,
Walthen squared accounts with his
rival by showing him the way in later
contests.
Opening his programme with the 100
ward dash. Walthen dashed across he
line inches behind Ginniff in the fast
time of II seconds. The finish was the
closest of the afternoon, as the frs;
four BOYS were not more than yard
apart. Walthen won his first victory IN
the eight-pound shot, tossing the leaden
ball on his last effort for the excep-
tionally fine effort Of 40 feet lcs
inches. Ginnif was unable 20 gain a
place. The 220-yard run then followed,
and again Ginniff proved the speedleT,
dashing madly past Walthen on tho
first turn, to outsprint MIN 20 the nnisn
by three yards in 26 2-5 seconds.
Walthen then added the running hign
Jump TO his victories by leaping oVe-
the bar at height Of ) feet. Ginhih
was second, one inch behind. The two
again met in the running broad jump,
with the Irving schoolboy leaping II
feet 10 inches, while Glnnin was uh-
able TO gain place.
Walthen made a bold effort 10 win
the point honors alone. However, they
were captured by the Dobbs Ferry team
/ with a total of 80 points. Previous 10
/ the two relay races, the events that
closed the programme, Walthen en-
abled his school to be in a tie with
/ Dobbs Ferry, with the count OF "
points apiece. However, in the hnsl
two contests Dobbs Ferry carried away
the winning banner unchallenged, as Us
' Tarrytown school did not compete,
while il captured one first, second ana
third place, thus adding points TO rs
tally. Third place went 70 Pubic
School IS, Of Yonkers, with 10 points.
