 With only a few points difference, the mile race determined as to wheth- er Putnam or Killingly would be the winners. For the past three years the mile has been a Killingly event Parker of Brooklyn who won last year was on his mark with the same deter mination to win as he had when he won last year. At the half mile Pom iuville, Putnam youth, was in the lead. At the last quarter mile to go the runners were punched As they rounded the 220 curve some of them showed speed and distance was left behind as they ran towards the finish Bill sham showed more speed and en- duranee than the rest, and came in first. with Ray Robinson second. and last years winner.

hair which at first glance gives
the appearance of a bobbed head,
yet the illustrious curls are still
there.
