BY GEORGE n. UNDERWOOD.
Charley Pores. the stocky little tar
who carried the silks of tho Pelham Bay
Naval Training Station to victory In the
1--WE mile national championship run last
September. added another title to his
string In the C. c. N. Y. stadium yes
terday He showed his heels 20 the field
In the chase for the national ten mile
title.
Finishing ten yards In front of viller
Kyronen Of the MiIlrose A. Va. who
pushed him hard all the way, Pores was
clicked IN the comparatively slow time
OF 54:l7 SIS. This was 3 minutes IL LIS
seconds behind the record of 81 :03 2-5
made by Hannes Kolehmainen in win
ming the ten mile title in 1913.
In conjunction with the ten mile event
the seven mile national championship
walk and the Metropolitan all around
championship were staged. Honors in
the heel and toe event fell to the veteran
Dick Remer OF the New York A. c.. who
Is competing unattached until the war
Is over. Tho all around title went to
pan Shea of the Pastime A c., who
wrested the laureis from John Hellum, n
clubmate. in the mile run. the final
event. Weak from a recent siege OF In
fueuza Hellum was unable to stand the
gruelling pace.
Remer Fails at Record.
IN the seven mile walk Remer. win
ming by more than three laps from his
closest pursuer, Kurt Zulch of the Amer
lean walkers Association. was clicked
in 55:23. He continued on for the full
hour In an attempt to beat the Amer
lean one hour record of miles 1913
yards, made by J. B. Clark way back in
1880. Dick fell short 2T6 yards OF sc-
complishing the feat. Keeling Off miles
I,O42 yards in the sixty minute limit
Remer might have achieved his object
had not the officials become confused
the seven mile race. He lost only fifteen
or twenty yards, but the strain OF start
ing anew and getting back into his
regular stride undoubtedly slowed him
up appreciably.
Faulty work by the officials also
marred the ten mile run. The timers
became confused at the end OF the event
and returned the time only of the VIM
ner Scorers also got panicky and run
ners back of Kyronen were told first one
thing and then another.
Echo of Nationals.
The work OF the officials was an echo
OF the mistakes made at the national
championships at Great Lakes, where In
the Ave mile event Pores was credited
with figures he never before or since has
shown himself capable of approaching.
In the 1--WE mile national championship
event Pores was credited with looping
OF more than 81 seconds from Koleh-
mainen's American record of 25:oS.
Charlie was credited with running the
five miles in the astonishing time of
e4:S6 rs. a minute and a half better
than he ever before or since has done.
\ week later. in the Two Mile Lib
ertv Loan Handicap at the New York
Athletic Club meet at Travers Island.
Pores was run into the ground and beaten
In s55 3-5, more than eleven seconds
slower than Kolehmainen stepped the
first two miles in his ten mile record
wrecking race Kolehmainen did two
miles IN s.46 25 and then continued
or for eight miles at the same gait.
going past the ten mile mark in
5Io3 2-5.
An idea OF how Kolehmainen and
Torres compare can be had by the COM
psr!son OF times made by Pores yester-
day with the figures hung up by Kolen-
mainen IN winning the ten mile ti.le
IN 1918. Pores's time by miles yester-
day were 453 2-5, 1913, 1888 SIS,

Pores does not class with such run

credited to Pores in the Great Lakes

believe Pores was more than half

fifty seconds faster than Carter at ftve

After that It was a duel between Pores
and Kyronen. A sprint by Pores on the
bell lap opened a ten yard gap. Ky
