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" atcually
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 one-yard 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 Haritan, of New Jersey,
third, with Sc points.

DiUeS From 55-Feet HEIGHT

Cameron Coffey, the sensational five
year-old high and fancy diver of the
Los Angeles A. c., has just accom-
plished a feat Of amazing character
Exhibiting at recent water carni-
val, he performed several dives from
the dizzy height of 65-foot platform,
stamping himself by long odds the
greatest and most daring little cham
pion the world has ever known. 1t is
almost unbelievable that tiny sha-
yer of Cameron's tender age should
be able to undertake successfully and
without injury such extremely dan
gerous work, but the child wonder has
had the advantage of expert guidance
ever since he was two and half years
old, when he started practice under
Vance Vieth, the able Los Angeles A.
c.. coach, and he has developed the
HIS repertory from the 12-foot
springboard includes plain front and
back dives, both jackknives, hand
stand. forward and back somersaults,
flying dutchman and one-and- one half
somersau!t, so he is no green re-
cruit, but an experienced and seasoned
young star. 1t needs be added, too, that
his workmanship is not confined to
the one sport. He has quite unusual
swimming speed and stamina; he uses
all strokes in excellent form, and he
can demonstrate the approved methods
of rescue and resuscitation with the
ease Of a professional lifeguard. Truly
an aquatic marvel.
The remarkable showing made on
Monday at the Brighton Winter Pool
by Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey, the new
swimming star Of the New York
Women's Swimming Association, indi-
Gates that we may before long have
another champion mermaid in our city.
Miss Bleibtrey is only sixteen. and she
entered the competitive field an abso-
lutely green novice less than six
months ago. In the brief period since
elapsed, she has not only brought down
her time for 100 yards by about twen-
ty-five seconds, but mastered the six
beat. double-trudgeon crawl so thor
oughly that her form now compares
with that Of che foremost girl swim
mers in the country. With youth,
strength, grit and splendid stroke
among her assets she should not fail
idly.

From Brooklyn Prep;
New Utrecht Victor

Erasmus Hall, contender for the
Brooklyn school football championship,
easily defeated the Brooklyn Prep
eleven in their annual game at Com
mercial Field yesterday. The score was
rs to 6. In the other game of the
double-header, New Utrecht High
School defeated the weak Marquand
School team by score of So to 0.
The touchdown made by Brooklyn
Prep against Erasmus was the first
scored against the latter in three years.
The tally came in the final quarter, and
Fitzsimmons, former Georgetown
Prep student, was in a great measure
He hurled long forward
pass to Maloney, and later, with the
ball one the one-yard line, crashed his
way through the Erasmus defence.
In the earlier periods the Erasmus

ROTARY LUNCHEON

The Wausau Rotary club held it's
semi-monthly luncheon at st. Johns
Guild hall yesterday noon. 1t was
an unusually interesting meeting. A
letter was read from Lieut. Newman
Bells, written in France.
Capt. George Ruder, who is at home
for few days from Camp Custer, was
present and received an ovation He
spoke on the conditions at Camp Gus
ter.
A very interesting address was made
by Walter J. Gillon of Amigo. Mr.
Gillon is ex-president of the Rotary
club at Sheboygan. He talked upon
Rotary, especially what is being done
by Rotarians in the British Isles, and
Rotary in this war. He told of the
Belgian situation. Many of the stor-
les, because of their horribleness,
could hardly be credited were it not
for the fact that they came direct
from those living there. Mr.. Gillon
has sister living in that country,
also brother, who is Rotarian liv-
ing in London. His talk, which was
the one arranged for the occasion, was
very much enjoyed.
The question box was opened. One
in particular was whether the club
could do anything for boys in trouble,
and it was voted that each member
of the club become a helper or a big
brother to boys in trouble. The idea
is that boy who has committed
some wrong, instead of sending him to
the reform school or placing him in
confinement he be paroled in charge
of one of the Rotarians, whose duty
it will be to keep in touch and assist
the boy.
Arrangements are being made to
hold joint meeting of the Merrill.
Wausau and Stevens Point Rotary
clubs.

LIBRARY MEETING

On last Friday library round table
was conducted at the library in this
city, which was called by Miss Jesse
Wells of the library commission at
Madison. There were about twenty
librarians and assistants in the city
on this day, representing New Lon
don, Shawano, Neillsville, Amigo,
Rhinelander, Grand Rapids, Merrill,
Tomahawk, Mosinee and other places.
The purpose for this meeting was to
discuss library problems with libra
rians and assistants, who do not al
ways get to state meetings, and the
meeting here on Friday proved of
much interest and benefit to all in
attendance.
The morning session was given over
to question box, at which time a
general discussion was held, and many
questions in this line of work came
up and were solved.
In the afternoon practical demon
stration in mending was given by an
expert mender from Marskheld, which
was of much value to those present,
as the mending and binding of books
is a big problem in libraries.
1t was very good meeting and re-
ported an enjoyable one.

LETTER FROM FRANK DRAKE

The following is taken from letter
from First Lieutenant Frank Drake
of Company G, sent to his wife and
children here, and will be read with
much interest by Wausau people:
Somewhere in France,
March II, 1918.
Dear Wife and Children:
| received a letter from you yester-
day, after nearly month, and it sure
did look good, and | read it over and
over again.
Well, we are settled in little ham,
let in the interior of France, and it
is sure queer place. The buildings
are CT stone and they look as if they
were built in the year of one.
We had very nice trip coming
over here, and were on the water
about two weeks. They kept us on the
boat five days after we got into port,
then we unloaded and marched about
three and one-half miles to an old
barracks that was used by Napoleon,
and we stayed there for one day.
From that place we marched back to
the port and got aboard the train,
and travelled about four days. We
landed in little 2x4 town, at which
place we hiked about five or six miles
to this place. We passed through two
little towns on our way, and they
looked very much alike.
This country is all settled There
is not a bit of land that is not used,
and there are some nice farms here,
but they are small The people get
together and build little towns and
then go out to their farms to live for
awhile. 1t looks funny to get up on
hill and look around, as you can see
little towns all over. They are only
about two to three miles apart, and all
just alike.
Everything is going along all right
over here. l am feeling fine.
Have not had paper since | have
been here, so l do not know what is
going on only in our own town. Write
often and / will do the same. Did
you get a telegram from New York,
telling of our safe arrival here in
France?
/ must tell you about our home
here. We are stopping in home in
charge of a woman, whose husband
is at the front. There are five of us
officers here, and we have our mess
at this place. Gottschalk and | room
together. We have large room with
two beds. We have to get stepladder
to get into them, but they are nice and
clean. The people here are also nice
and clean.
Well, | guess this is all | can think
of just now, so will close hoping to
hear from you often.
