German Winner
In Indoor Marathon
At New York Meeting

New York, Feb. 22-(AP)-Run-
ming a brilliant race over slushy aud
slippery streets, Fred Wachsmuth,
rugged German american distance
star of the MilIrose A. A., triumphed
today over field of fifty runners in
the revival of the Brooklyn Queens
marathon held in conjunction with
the indoor athletic meet of the 250th
coast artillery in Thirteenth Regi-
ment Armory.
Wachsmuth led all the way over
the course OF approximately 20 miles,
starting and ending at the Brooklyn
Armory but hew as forced to stand
off a sensational closing bid by Karl
Koskt OF the Finnish-American a. G,
II, order to break the tape first. Kos
XII closed big gap over the last few
miles and cut down Wachsmuth's
margin to about SO yards in the clos
ing few turns of the Armory track.
Wachsmuth ran a steady race in
exceptionally fast time despite con-
ditions which handicapped many OF
Their unnerS and resulted in IS COM
petitors, half the field, dropping out
along the way. Accidents due to the
slippery streets, forced several out of
the grind but the only prominent VIC
tim of a mishap was Frank Z. Wend-
ling of Buffalo, member Of the 1924
olympic team, who fell at the 18th
mile whiler unning third. Vending
bruised his leg in the tumble but got
up and after walking for some dis
lance, gameiy broke into a trot and
finished out the course, landing sew
enth place. The Buffalo runner had
been in a contending position up to
the time of his accident, holding
second place for the first ten miles
but yielding that position to koski
on the homeward journey.
Another favorite, Albert CWhitey)
Nicholson of the Cygnet A. c., East
Portchester. Conn, found the going
a bit rough but managerd to gain
third place about 500 yards behind
Koski.
