Lehman Leads HQrrierS
In Harlem League Race
Meter, From Scratch, Capt.
ures Fast Time Prize
Morningside Team Wins
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Low-handicapped barriers engaged
in a thrilling test Of sprinting ability
in the weekly road run Of the Harlem
Athletic League. held over the course
Of the Glencoe Athletic Club yesterday.
The individual honors finally fell to
Eddie Lehman, Morningsidc Athletic
Club, from the goo mark, following a
determined fight to maintain this posi-
ton after the fourth mile.
Lehman fairly burned up the ground
during the final mile, calling upon all
his reserve strength and pulling away
from his rivals to win by so yards in
33:o5. Coming rapidly behind Lehman
was George Williams. the rangy st.
Christopher Club member, who started
forty five seconds later. Williams
passed four opponents during the final
half mile.
An equally brilliant bit of running
was furnished by Lenny Meter, the
Morningside Club track captain, who
finished third from the scratch mark.
Meter was hindered by passing auto
mobiles on three ccaslons, losing some
twenty seconds, and except for this
misfortune might have captured higher
honors. He came home 200 yards in the
wake Of Williams, but his actual time
effort Of 32:33, for the five and half
miles. earned him the fast time prize.
With it's representatives showing
their best form, the Morningside Atk-
letic Club practically had walkover in
winning the team honors. The only rival
was the Harbrook Athletic Club, whicn
with a total of 33 finished II points be-
hind the Morningsidc team. Headed by
Lehman, the other members of the
winning club were Meter, Harry Spies
Irving Lehman, the winners brother
and Jack Kruss.
Eddie Lehman, who had in the mean.
two Harbrook organization runners
with the limit of $500, went off into tho
pack, and, increasing the pace, shook of
tions for one mile. At this point sev
eral rivals came abreast of them an(
during the next two miles the Leaders
changed frequently.
Eddie Lehma, who had in the mean
time worked his way up into fifth posi-.
ton, finally assumed command Of tho
pac, and, increasing the pace, shook of
some Of the other runners. At the
three and half mile mark Williams
moved into second place, 800 yards be-
hind Lehman, while NJ. Cirigione, Har-
brook Athletic Club, was third. anG

final mile to the finish, Cirigione fei

one OF the sacrifices we must make
in support of the government war
program.
Your people must be content with
what coal they can get, and as many
Missouri and Kansas mines, also Illi-
nois mines, are not operating full
time for lack of orders, l hope you
will urge the public to ask for the
coal that is available and secure it at
the earliest opportunity.
There is shortage in production
that cannot possibly be overcome,
but the situation may be made less
serious, in proportion to the amount
of coal placed in the bins of consum-
ers durin gthe summer.
Will you join the State Fuel Ad-
ministration in laying this matter be-
fore the people and in warning them
against the consequences of their own
neglect? Will you also, if there is
wood fuel available in your locality,
insist that whenever possible, wood
should take the place of coal?
Yours very truly,
Wallace Crossley,
State Fuel Administrator.
