BY A. C.. Cavapnaro

Charles Pores, Americas five-mile
champion, displayed one of his most
creditable performances of the season
in capturing the fast time prize in the
open handicap six and half mile road
run that was held by the Morningside
Athletic Club over course through
the streets Of Harlem and The Bronx
yesterday. In exhibiting a flash of his
old form the Millrose Athletic Asso-
citation representative finished twenty
sixth in field of 166 starters, which is
the record pack of the season. The
representation of thirty-two clubs in
the race also showed that the sport is
enjoying the height of its popularity.
Pores literally "hew" over the last
mile of the course in working his wav
up to a forward position. He accom-
plished the time of SO minutes 55 sec
onds, which erased almost two minutes
from the best time ever made for the
distance. Max Bohland, Of the Paulist
Athletic Club, went off the scratch
mark along with Pores, but the antici
pated duel for the time honors did not
come. Bohland was forced to retire
from the competition less than mile
and a half from the finish when he be-
came i'll.
At this important stage of the race
Bohland was speeding along almost
100 yards in advance of his opponent.
However, after few more blocks Boh-
automobile. Pores was just behind.
With his most dangerous opponent
eliminated Pores seemed to put re-
newed vigor in his efforts. and during
the remaining stages passed many a
contestant
While New York had the distinction
of winning the time honors, the credit
for leading home the record pack went
to julius Lorenz. the "war horse" of
the Brooklyn Athletic Association.
Lorenz, after maintaining a position
with the leaders throughout, assumed
the van mile from the finish. There
after he led his rivals hopeless chase,
for the further he went the moro he
increased his advantage. He showed
his sprinting qualities by rushing
down the final block to win by 100
yards.
John Durzy. of the Cygnot Athletic
Club, Port Chester, was second and
perhaps would have been the victor
nad ne not turned OH the course when
enjoying an advantage Of almost 200
yards over his field passing the four
mile point. Before he had been mott
fed of his mistake and had scampered
back on the right course he had lost
half of his lead. However, he soon
pulled away from Lorenz and Flour
ney, who were running strongly be-
hind
Lorenz then drew away from Flour
ney and in giant strides came closer
to Durzy The latter noticed his
plight and increased his stride How
ever, he could not escape the inevi-
table, for Lorenz finally passed him
at 125th Street and Seventh Avenue
For three blocks Lorenz and Durzy ran
together when the former called into
play his reserve speed. to sprint away
and continue unchallenged to the
finish.
Splendid team running was shown
by the members of the st. Christopher
Club in capturing this prize with a
tota of 80 points. The Paulist Club
finished second with "a points. fol-
lowed by the Morningside contingent
with l09.. The novice team prize
went to the st. Francis Catholic Union
with 32 points. Novice individual
prizes went to George Efantis, Greek
American A. c.; John Hetz, Pennant
A. G., and John Klaus st. Anselm's
