Next Big Race Here.

THE old adage that the third time
i never fails stood up in the case
of Komonen, who was second last
year when Pawson set a record for the
event, and seventh in 1881, in his
first try. His last notable triumph
was in the Washington Evening Star
marathon, over the Mount Vernon
Boulevard course, in which he won the
National A. A. U. championship
which he will defend in classic race
at Washington on June 9. under the
Stars auspices. Whatever contests the
durable Finn engages in until then
will be mostly for training purposes.
In the meantime, most of the star
performers beaten by Komonen yes
terday look eagerly to the Washington
gallop for chance to get even.
Although 1872 others, including the
outstanding lorg-distance runners of
the United States and Canada, started
with him yesterday Komonen saw
only two backs, those Of Kelley and
Steiner, in the hours, 80 minutes,

Steiner sprinted into the lead at the

his heels. They let Steiner set the
pace for IS miles, never more than
SO yards ahead, before overtaking him
at wellesley Hill. Komonen and
Kelley continued side by side for s
more miles before the Finn decided
to step out in front, which he did

Away from home Maryland goes
against Washington and Lee today
and Virginia Military Institute tomor-

faces Navy at Annapolis on track ana
Delaware at Newark on the tennis
courts.
The lacrosse game tomorrow Is
likely to be something of a wslkaway
for Maryland. The Old Liners ap-
parently are developing a strong outfit.
and expect to be in the running
against the best college teams of the
entire country.
George Washington should have
something on Washington College in
base ball, but tomorrow is likely to
find the going against Richmond very
rough. In the first place the local
nine has not had as much opportunity
for practice as the boys who make
their home in the Virginia capital,
and in the second place, even more
important, the Colonials will find
themselves up against one of the best
pitchers in college base ball. Certainly,
they are not likely to face any better
men than Lefty Sanders.

broad jump. However. Navy has such
overwhelming superiority in the pole
vault, shot put, discus and javelin as
to win by a good margin.
VYIARREN EVANS of Maryland

BY BILL KING,

~ OSTON, April 20.-Finns
x are supposed to know all
about distance running,
but Dave Komonen, 35-
year-old mine carpenter, had to
immigrate to Canada to learn
how to win the famous Boston
A. A. Marathon.
This wiry runner. who has been
living in Toronto and Sudbury, Onta-
rio. for five years, believes snow
shoelng gave him the stamina needed
to lead yesterdays crack field of 1893
over the 26 miles 385 yards CT hills

Shoes" he said through an interpreter,
running Is and 20 miles a day.
When you take them off and run on
bare ground your feet feel like feath-
ers. Foot running is much easier
than snowshoeing'
Komonen had only two real threats
against his success, Johnny Kelley,
young Medford runner who finished
second. and Bill Steiner, cocky New
York German, who placed third after
leading the field for 16 miles. Komo-
men was clicked in 2:33.534, and
Kelly in 2:365025.
Leslie Pawson, 1888 winner, had to
drop out after II miles, as did Smil-
ing Jimmy Henigan, the 1881 victor.

champion, with mark of better than

There is no other man in any of the
Southern or Eastern colleges who can
do as well in these four events.
THE athletic situation at Johns
Hopkins is arousing considerable
comment among the schools
with which the Baltimoreans have
been In competition in recent years,
but it is unlikely that there will be a
discontinuance Of intercollegiate COM
petition.
A statement by President Ames of
that university to the effect that he
felt the days of intercollegiate foot
ball at Hopkins are numbered has
been taken in some quarters to indi-
cate the possibility that Hopkins may
drop out of athletics altogether. Such
an eventualty is not likely.
1t is rather significant that the same
report that caused the statement by
DIR. Ames recommended the construc-
tion Of a large building for indoor
sports competition. If Hopkins had
serious intention Of dropping out Of
the ranks of athletic competitors it
hardly would entertain thoughts Of
spending quarter of a million dol
lars for such structure.
1t may be that the present situa.
ton at Hopkins is way of building
groundwork for a far more compre-
hensive system of sports than the uni
versity ever has had.
