onds slower than the record held
jointly by Alvin Lent. OF Stuyvesant,
and Eddie Bslestier. of Morris.

the tenets Of the sport. He held a
place back of the pace setter, never
far from the lead. but apparently not
anxious TO go out and wear himself
down, About 300 yards from the tape,
however, he tried his opponents With
"a little sprint. and not meeting with
any great resistance went out and
forced the running. On the last lap
