BIG TRADE Is WHISPERED

ST. LOUIS, July 2o.-The mystsri-
Gus stay-over visit In Chicago By

CHERRYDALE FANS CHEER
YOUNG LANDON PHILLIPS
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Young Landon h. Phillips of Thrift
ton, Va, sure did enjoy his dinner
last night. He was so hungry that
he ran home for it. Yep, he ran all
the way from The Times building to
the school in Cherrydale and, when
he arrived, all his fellow townsmen
and women were out in the road,
cheering like mad. For the lad, who
never had run so far in his young
life, arrived within a minute after
Edwin Schmidt, the veteran Balti-
more athlete and former South At
lantic A. A. U. cross-country cham
pion, had flashed across the finish
line of the first annual marathon
staged by the Cherrydale Firemen's
Association.
Phillips, who is but seventeen years
old and lightly built, left the mark
at The Times building three minutes
and i've seconds in front of Schmidt,
the actual scratch performer. The
little Virginian had the limit and
rushed away as II he meant to win
by q mile.
A big crowd witnessed the start
and, with the runners safely on their
Journey, a flotila OF motor cars began
chasing them. Phillips was running
easily as he headed out Pennsylvania
avenue, but Schmidt was cutting down
the slower boys behind and steamIng
along most dangerously.
Younger Challenges Lad.
Dan Younger, the Baltimore veteran
plugger, who had the limit along with
Phillips, found himself sliding be-
hind and put on some speed, seeking
60 close the gap. This acted as a
tonic on the others and the clocker
at Rock Creek bridge caught the en-
tire bunch within q minute.
Little Phillips, remembering that
warm dinner waiting out in Thrifton,
held his own, fighting off Younger,
who never after was close enough to
bother the boy. Cheered and en-
eouraged by hundreds along NJ street,
Phillips kept on and had a comfort
able lead as he made the turn to
cross Aqueduct Bridge
Schmidt had worked his way from
last to fourth by the time he reached
the bridge and thereafter showed all
his experience in negotiating the gen.
Tie hills of Virginia.
Soldiers Cheer Runners.
The athletes were loudly applaud
ed by reserve officers and Uncle
Sans regulars on the Virginia end
Of the bridge and, with Phillips still
out in front, they swung through
Rosslyn and headed for Clarendon.
As they faced their first hill Phil
lips was first, Charlie Lain, second;
Harry Korpman, third, and Schmidt,
fourth. Lain held on until he hit the
second hill, about half a mile farther
on, when he succumbed to the stiff
pace being made by Phillips and fell
back into foutth place.
A little more than a mile from the
nnish the runners hit a long hill, and
II was on top Of that Phillips lost his
lead He was running strongly, but
he was bothered q lot by wouid-be

I advisers, who took some advantage
OF his greenness.
Schmidt Goes Ahead
Schmidt was running like a real
champion over the Virginia hills. He
knew his own strength and endur-
ance, AMI, on being told that he had
about a mile to go. he let out a notch
and passed both Phillips and Harry
KorpmHn as he turned north toward
Aurora Heights.
Spike" Wynn, coach OF the Balti-
more Cross Country Club. displayed
good judgment in advising his boys
from the Monumental City, and he
made It possible for Korpman to nm
ish second. AS the first three reached
/, the main pike running into Cherry
dale, Wynn urged Korpman to sprint.
Phillips could not fight of his
stronger opponent, and was passed
almost opposite Thrifton Station.
ThrOng Greets Winner.
All Cherrydale was out to greet the
winner and. as he passed the finish
line, Schmidt was cheered. He was
as fresh as a daisy and could have
done five miles more without trouble.
The Baltimore lad was clicked in
41:40, which will stand as a record
until some athlete lowers II in the
future.
Harry Korpman was timed in 1920
as he finished in second place, and
then came the home boy. little Phil
lips, who covered the distance in
42:35. excellent time for q novice.
Lain was fourth in 1890 and then

Kelley Is Sixth.
John Kelley, the Irish-American A.

and was followed by MARYLAND,

Totten and Roche finished, though
outside OF the prize list
After a brief rest the winners were
publicly presented with their medals
and cups on the fair grounds. The
Cherrydsle band played and the boys
were entertained by a committee OF
the fremen.
Thanks to the committee composed
OF Messrs. Mccormick, Forrest. and
Angelo, OF the hremen, every detail
worked smoothly. Boy scouts were
course to guide the runners. Numer-
Gus automobiles cared for the effects
of the athletes and not a hitch came.
Every contestant expressed himself
as completely satisfied with his treat
ment, and another Cherrydale mara
thon should draw fifty entries.
Joe Geiger, the South Atlantic
cross-country champion, was delayed
on his way over from Baltimore and
arrived too late to start. He followed
the runners, though, and was the
first TO shake hands with Schmidt, the
winner.
The team prize went to the Balti-
more Cross Country Club, which had
six men qualify. Summary:
