real stars of the game. In 1895 and

past summer that no other driver has
ever accomplished. viz, giving records
OF better than 2:05 to seven different
PAGERS, also reducing the record of
Baxter Lou from 2:O4A to 2:o2A.
Besides the seven additions to the Sc

marked the PAGERS Hal H. in 2.05A

Charles Pores
Beats Henigan
By Ten Yards
Pelham Bay Runner Has
Hard Job Winning Service
'Cross-Country Event
BY A. c. Cavagnaro

Charles Pores, Americas premier dis
ance runner, experienced many a scare
before he crossed the finish line win
ner Of the Metropolitan Association
service cross country championship
run held over the Van Cortlandt Park
course yesterday. The person who dis
turbed Pores's dreams of an easy vic
tory was Jimmy Henigan, Fort Slocum,
who pressed his Pelham Bay rival at all
stages to be beaten By ten yards.
The sudden change in the form of
Henigan, who was forced to retire after
three miles in the recent ten-mile ma
ional title run won by Pores, surprised
everybody. "Smiling Jimmy" actually
led his sailor opponent for the greater
part Of the way, only to weaken at the
end.
After the race Henigan looked vainly
for "friend" with whom he had in
to late hour Henigan was still in
search of his "frined" and money.
The duel between Henigan and Pores
had pulled them so far away from their
opponents that Joe Nulty, Fordham S.
A. T. c., who was third, was more
than two minutes in the wake Of Heni
gan. Pores's time was 33:15, q fast
performance for the intercollegiate trail
which the barriers covered. Only two
Of the twenty-five starters failed to
complete the six miles.
AS early as the end Of the first lap
of three miles Henigan and Pores had
opened up a big advantage on their
rivals. Henigan held vineyard lead.
The time was 1920. Nulty was third.
Jimmy then began to draw away
from his sailor rival, and climbing the
golf links had obtained q ten-yard lead
when the top was reached. But Pores
soon regained this ground, and there
after they ran together until they came
to the horseshoe hill, which is 800 yards
from the finish line. Here Henigan
showed that he was badly tired by
allowing Pores to gain a twenty-yard
margin in climbing the rocky ground.
Rounding the top Henigaa called
upon his last ounce Of speed, and while
he succeeded in regaining much ground
was never able to overtake Pores.
Pelham Bay made a walkaway Of the
team honors, with total of 10 points.
Fordham S. A. T. c. was second, with
45, and Camp Harlan, of New Jersey,
third, with Sc points.
The summary follows:
