Mike Lynch Has Bad Day.

"A GEES time Of Sc minutes seconds
~ was minute over the record for
the course, established by him
last year. but with sitter competition
undoubtedly he could have cut more
than minute from yesterdays time.
Not once was there weakening of the
strong bounding stride of the sturdy
Baltimorean. He wore big grin cross
ing the finish mark.
OF 48 runners who started. only two
dropped out. One of these was 52year-
odd Mike Lynch, defending the District
A. A. u championship in the contest.
Ordinarily 10 miles is a mere stroll for
the slender Irishman-He walks lot
more than that every day in his own
restaurant-but yesterday he was ailing.
The official physician for the race, Dr.
Aloysisus B. Connolly, insisted that Mike
give up at the first sign of trouble. It
came at the Six-mile mark. Lynch
celebrated his fifty-second birthday
yesterday.
Greiner Comes Through.
CUCCEEDING Mike as District cham
- pion is Bill Greiner of the WASH
ington Track and Field Club. The
first washington man to finish, he took
eighth place. Jerry Looney and Has
kell Clark, fourteenth and sixteenth,
respectively, got there in time to sew up
. third-team honors for the Washington
Track and Field Club. 1t was no mean
distinction for the new organization to
>beat out the famous Baltimore Cross
Country Club and Dorsey Griffith. the
w. T. and F. chieftain, was right proud
of the boys.
With Dick Tennyson of the Play
ground Department functioning in his
usual enterpriSing manner as director,
the race was Well-organized' show and
thoroughly enjoyed by many thousands
The crowd at the finish was by far
the largest ever to attend the event.
Clyde D. Martak of the Baltimore
Cross-Country Club, former national
marathon champion, was an entry, but
ran instead in race at Hopewell. Va,
which he won. Baltimore A. A. U.
officials who attended the contest here
said Martak may be suspended for en-
tering two races on the same day.
Agee's victory gave him second leg
on The Evening Star Trophy, with
third necessary f1r permanent posses
sion.
