STEEP HILLS AID
RUSSELL TO WIN
BIG YONKERS RUN
By A. c. CAYAGNARO

The blue ribbon event Of the cross
country season, the annual handicap
road run Of the Hollywood Inn. over
its Yonkers course, Yesterday, drew a
field Of 1879 starters and developed INTO
bitter duel between TWO athletes OF
the Westchester city for the individual
horors.
Superior ability in mounting the four
steep hills which were included IN the
six-mile trail greatly aided Charles
Russell, representing the fonkers
Young Mems Christian Association, IN
winning.
Less than fifty yards behind came
James Boyle. a Hollywood runner, who
was o1tsprinted down the last rev
blocks. Ii was practically a duel be
tween the youngsters, although Russell
WAS in the van for the greater part
Of the way.
On two occasions Boyle came up on
even terms With his rival. The victor
was allowed the limit start of 500,
along with seventy-four others, while
Bowie started 10 seconds later, but the
latter was among the leading group
before half a mile was covered. Rus
sell was timed over the distance in
3s:42. a good performance, as light
snowfall made the going rather slip
perry.
In third place followed John Pasenen'
a Finnish youth Of the Kaleva Athletic
Club. Of Brooklyn. However, ne weak
ened during the last mile and half
and dropped behind, 10 he beaten by
BOYLE by $50 yards. .
Harry McGinn, the Paulist Athletic
Club athlete, captured his third fast
time prize in as many starts IN eight
davs in accomplishing the best efort
OF the back mark men. He toed the
30-second mark along with George +.
Holden. a Yonkers Young Mems Chris
tiar Association member, but the lat
ter was rapidly left behind. McGinn
finished in forty-fourth position IN
1881. while Holder was eleven places
back in S6:l2. Villsr Kyronen, the
Kaleva champion. who was 70 have held
the honor mark behind the large field,
failed to appear.
A total Of twenty-five clubs stroy,e
for the team honors, with the Mohawk
Athletic Club heading the group with
q winning total OF So points.
The summary follows:
