However. Virginia men say that the
result of the race was a victory for
NTillbank because the latter was sc
far off the mark when the gun went
off that Cummings got up thinking
The gun would be fired again to bring
the runners back for another start
However. the gun did not go off anC
when Cummings started it simply was
impossible for him to catch the Wash
ingtOn and Lee Sprinter, notWithStand
ing he picked up a lot of ground and
was right at his shoulder at the finish
line
