FLUSHING TURNS
OUT BIG CROWD
FOR ROAD RACE
Greenberg, of Seward A.

with Russo Second
BY A. c. CAvAGNARo

The 'cross-eountry runners OF the
Metropolitan Association reigned SUI
preme in Flushing, Long Island, yes
terday. Il appeared as though all the
residents Of the town and all the auto
mobiles were eongregated around the
clubhouse Of the Shinneeock Club,
where the three and three quarter mile
handicap open road run started and
ended. No confusion resulted, despite
the crowd, thanks to Captain Faleoner
and his aids.
As the runners sped around the
course they were followed by many
motor cars, the scene reminding one Of
Vanderbilt Cup day along the Merriek
Road.
The cheers Of the spectators were
captured by George Greenberg, repre-
senting the Seward Athletic Associa-
ton, who headed home the field Of run
ners. Greenberg was not called upon
70 display his best running ability, as
he gained the lead early and won by
almost seventy-fve yards. He had q

Close Race for Second
Nick Russo, Of the Ozsnam Athletic
Association No. s, a limit starter, with
500, was second, just holding his posi-
ton from Charles Nichols, of Loughhn
Lyceum, who came with a burst OF
speed in the last 100 yards, to lose out
by two yards.
A bitter fight for the team honors
enlivened the event This honor fell
TO the youngsters Of the Ninety-second
Street branch Of the Young Mems He
brew Association, with a total Of 40
points The boys ran well together,
being placed in second, fifth, eighth,
thirteenth and sixteenth position. Nine
points behind was the Paulist Athletic
Club. the Brooklyn Athletic Associa-
tion following with 81 points.
An unusually large number OF prizes
were awarded, practically every club
that entered a team carrying home a
trophy. Besides the plaque for the
victorious team, the Ninety-seeond
Street boys won the Yorkville League
prize. The Paulist boys captured the
Catholic League trophy, while the Long

winner. Starting from scratch, Nc

who finished fifth, in 1852, returned
the next fastest time.
The trail led over macadamlzed
roads, which fact aided the runners in
making fast time. Harry Nichols, OF
the Morningside Athletic Club, and
James O'Brien, Brooklyn Athletic As
sociation representative, proved the
speediest Of the pack of $500 handicap
men who were released first. They
fought Il out nip and tuck until the
two-mile point, when Greenberg chal-
lenged for the lead and his two rivals
failed 10 hold him.

II seems that Freeman Bernstein
slightly exaggerated the terms OF his
contract with Les Darcy. The Austria
liam is to get $4,000 a week for two
weeks, instead of $4,000 a week for ff-

to jump it whenever the attempt at
