By 4. c. Cavagnaro


Max Bohland, the raulist Athlete
Club runner, crowned his season Of
successes with a brilliant recorA-break-
ing victory for the fast time honors
in the annual fVc-milc Easter Sun
day handicap road race held by the
Brooklyn Athletic Association over
thoroughfares in the Bushwick section
of Brooklyn yesterday. The 1913
American cross country champion
seemed TO possess an unlimited amount
of speed, as he finished the trail in
"a minutes As seconds, thus lowering
the former record for the course Of
% minutes Is seconds. He finished in
thirtcth place.
The sterling victory scored by Boh-
land was secondary to his trouncing
Charles Pores, Mllrose Athletic AS
socintion, his athletic rival, who also
started from scratch. Pores showed
that he was far from his best condi-
which Pores failed to challenge de-
tcrmincdly after passing the second
mile. For a mile further on Pores
kept within reaching distance of the
wild-running Bohland. but thereafter
gradually fell back to finish in fortieth
position in 25 minutes s seconds. This
earned him second fast time prize
Louis Kaufman, Brooklyn A. A., was
third first time man.
The individual honor of leading
home the field of 107 starters fell TO
Eric I'endrjckson, swcdish-A American
Athletic Club, who enjoyed the limit
of four minutes, and, Intellectually, won
his first prize in open competition.
The rangy Swcde was blazing the way
for his field at the end of the first
mile, and thereafter was never headed.
Eddie Woman, Morningside Athletic
Club, performed clcverly in winning
second place, and perhaps would have
been the winner had he succeeded in
exercising his final sprint earlier. 1t
is true that he enjoyed the cXcop-
tonally liberal handicap of 2 minutes
40 seconds, and it may have been that
he timed his effort too late in the race
to cover up the generosity OF the
handicapper
Weiman gradually worked up with
the leaders to be within striking dis
tanco to Hendrickson as early as the
third mile He retained this position
for another mile, when he began to
move forward. Half a mile from home,
Wciman was fifth and biding his
time. A little distance further on
he easily sped into second place, to
finish fifty yards back Of Hendrick-
SON.
John Wiborg, another Swedish
American entry, was third, with John
Durzy, Cygnct Athletic Club, of Pat
erson, NJ j., in fourth place. The first
half dozen barriers crossed the fin
ish we'll enough apart not to cause
any trouble for the officials, but therc-
after they came gathering along in
succession, the monotony being broken
by spnsmodc sprints among these
trallcrs. However the officials handled
the situation in commcndnblc fashion.
OF the field Of lO7 runners, who rep
resented over two dozen clubs in the
metropolitan district, only twelve
found that they had not reached the
stagc where they had accumulated suf-
dcicnt stamina to carry them through
the full distance. Fifty-livc barriers
went or the limit mark Of four min
utes, and the customary scramble for
the van position followed. Eddie
Mueller, Brooklyn a. A., proved the
spccdest, and set killing pace, close
" followed By lIcndrlckson, Durzy and
Mike Russo, st. Anselm's A. G.
