AVER WINS BORDEN CUP

team of sprinters, annexed the fourth
 annual John Borden Marathon Cup contest over the Cape Nome course today, after q lively contest with tho Webb team of trail burners. Seppali,. who was the only other entry in the race. started but found his dogs m willing to work and withdrew from The contest after proceeding to the vi- cinity of the Milk ranch in the east end.
 The race started at 7:3O a. m. un- der misty weather conditions and with la light moist snow fall making the
 trail far from favorable to high speed
 The Webb team driven by Bert Me-
 Carthy. was the first to take the trail
 from the starting line on Barrack
 Square. Ten minutes later the Sep
 pala Siberians sped awaya down the
 course. After another ten minute in.
 terval. the Aver team dashed away
 from the tape and was soon out of
 sight
 Whether from staleness or the sOr; weather. the Seppala aggregation was reluctant almost from the start and could not be induced to show it's nor. nal speed by any means of pers,las sion at the command of the doughty little Norse'nan. After trying his best ,o mak~%he team liven up its pace, Sep pala gave IL up as q bad job after he had been overtaken by Aver when still within the city limits. The race pro ceeded between Aver and Webb. with the former gradually cutting down the lead of his opponent until both were togcther at the turning flag. The trail I was too heavy for fast work. howeyc- and neither team displayed the higl. | speed qualities of earlier years. Aver. |, covered the course in hrs 43 min. ,, sec. This is the slowest time develop ! ing in any of the four contests and i. | far behind the record established lv ! Seppala last year. The time of .a, | Webb team Was hrs. 12 min. I9 sec. I
 As the rules under which the race is run provides that the huge silver |, cup donated by Mir Borden shall be- | come the property of the team owner who win the annual contest three times. by winning today Mir Aver be- comes the cups owner and the race will become q thing of the past unless ! new trophy Is hung up. The Aye" Itam won the first and second con tests in 1917 and 1918 but was heate,. by the Seppala cnt.'y last year in the time of hr 30 min 25 ! ; sec. Ayers time in the same cont ast was hr. 5 min. 2l ! soc.
 Owing doubtless to the early hour nt which the race started the big . crowd usually witnessing the start was not in evidence. All the more arden, fans were there, however, and there | was no lack of enthusiasm in the | gathering about the starting line.
 Following is q summary of the time of the races at the various reporting stations between Nome and the turn ing flag opposite Cape Nome.
