the competition that stirred the thou
sands of spectators to greatest
heights. Although Joie Ray the llli-
nois runner, failed in his attempt to

minutes IL Is seconds in a race that

The 10,0OO-meter run developed the
keenest and most sustained enthu-
slasm of the day. After the pack of
a dozen runners had settled them
selves well into the grind of more
than six miles, Fred w. Faller of the
dorchester Club, Boston, and r. Earle
Johnson, a negro runner, of Pitts

produced by his race for long dis
tances, went to the front with Anne

run, although the crowd applauded
MS efforts until he was forced TO
withdraw. Faller and Johnston then
set out on racing duel, which con-
tinued through the last two miles.
