Eddie REM, the New York Athletic
Club walker, had the honor Of winning
the first championship for his club in
two years, when he won as he pleased
in the two-mile Metropolitan Associs-
ton title event which formed part
of the programme of the seventy-sec-
ond track and field games OF the 7th
Regiment last night. The lanky athlete
went into the van at the outset and
gradually opened up big gap on his
rivals, TO win by almost 100 yards. His
time was 14:34

event vent to pedestrians Of the
Winged Foot club, as Joseph B. Pear
man, who recently returned from
France, was second. almost one-third
OF a lap in advance of Winfield J.
Rolker. REM is also holder of the ma
tlonal senior title at this distance.
The scene reminded one of the DAYS
before the local National Guard men
vent overseas for Uncle Sam. A
crowded gallery witnessed the varied
programme, while the entry in every
event was large. Although four open
races graced the card. the competition
among the members of the regiment
aroused the greatest excitement.
