LOsero Wins Two Events
In Paulist Club Games

John Losero returned two sterling
performances from scratch in the final
monthly games of the Paulist Athletic
Club, held at Macomb's Dam Park, The
Bronx, yesterday. In each contest Lo-
sero easily overcame the liberal handi-
caps allotted his opponents.
In the two-mile race Losero assumed
the lead in the last half mile and won
by fifty yards without exerting himself.
Losero had to show his best, however,
in the three quarter-mile run, for Har-
old Cunningham, second. pressed him
all the way. Losero's superior stamina
was an important factor in defeating
the dimunitive Cunningham. George
Behnken beat Jim Cunningham by

from the ive-yard mark.
