NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Beating back
a bold challenge by Charles (Chuck)
Fenske in the last lap, Glenn Cum
ningham tonight galloped to another
of his matchless running triumphs
as he scored his sixth victory in
seven Wanamaker mile starts. His
time for the feature event OF the
32d annual Millrose A. A. games at
Madison Square Garden was 4 min
utes 13 seconds.
Before a packed house Of 5000,
the 29-year-old veteran from Pea
body, Kans., varied the style Of his
running somewhat, but didn't change
the type of finish of his recent races
one iota.
Cunningham, unbeaten in the Gar
den since 1886, was not content to
let others set the pace. He took
command of the field with Of the
IL laps still to go and held 1t for
three circuits, until Fenske, Big Ten
champion from Wisconsin, surged
from third place into the lead. Cum
ningham hung on his heels for one
more lap and then, as usual, cut
loose and passed him as they
wheeled into the final 160 yards.
Fenske Challenges Again.
But Fenske was not to be shaken
off so easily. The Wisconsin Husky
came striding back as they pounded
down the backstretch. Cunning
ham hit it up with everything in
his big frame, and still Fenke didn't
falter. He stuck to Glenn's shoulder
right around the final turn, and only
as Cunningham made supreme ef-
fort down the homestretch was he
able to open up a 2-yard lead that
was his margin of victory.
Wayne Rideout of North Texas
State Teachers staged a handsome
sprint of his own to come in third,
followed by Archie San Romanl,
Blaine Rideout, John Munski OF
Missouri, the pace-setter for the
early part of the race, and Josef
Mostert of Belgium.
If Fenske loomed as a promising
challenger to Cunningham's mile
domination, the 2-mile run fur
nished an even stronger rival for
Don Lash as the countrys top dis
tance runner.
Rice Shines in 5000.
He is Gregory Rice, chunky Ma
tional A. A. U. outdoor 5,000-meter
champion from Notre Dame, who
turned on a sprint in the last Of %
laps to win the 2-mile in 9:07.6, with
Lash 10 yards back in his first de-
feat Of the season. It was the Notre
Dame stars first local showing.
Ralph Schwarzkopf of Michigan
unleashed his kick too soon, and was
overhauled by Rice and barely
nipped at the tape by Lash to place
third. In fourth place was Tommy
Deckard, who shared most of the
pace-setting with Lash, his former
Indiana teammate. Fifth went to
Veteran Joe McCluskey, who ran the
last three laps with one shoe off.
With an easy victory within his
grasp, Charley Beetham, former ma
tional half-mile champion, slipped
and fell rounding the final turn and
first place in the 880-yard race went
to Francis Slater of Fordham.

 Today as Capt. Olaf Winther of the Fremont unloaded 10000 pound cargo and Capt John Lowell discharged 10,500 pourlds of the black cod from the Fern II, sea gulls outnumpered spectators.
 Hungry gulls sat on the dock edge, in the vessels rigging, in the water beside the craft, on the decks, all with eyes on fishermen cleaning a few cod and snapper for their own use.
 Frequently a more courageous Cor more hungry) gull would drop boldly beside a pile of fish. but fishermen were as watchful and chased them away with a quick squirt from the water hose or hastily thrown handful of salt.
 At this time of year, all species of gulls in this vicinity flock to places of habitation, and gather in great flocks beneath the wharves and atop waterfront buildings with their only apparent food supply the flot- sam in the harbor or the mussels that cling to piling.

STORY OF ALEUT
 CHIEFS BATTLE
 WITH BEAR TOLD
Farrell Home from Westward with Tale
 of Supermdn

The story of Chief Alexis Ung- yak's wrestling match with a 1O00- pound brown bear, a contest from which the Chignig Chief emerged victorious but near death, was told today by Virgil R. Farrell, Super visor of Arts and Crafts for the Office of Indian Affairs, who re- turned on the steamer Yukon from the Westward.
 Farrell was on the freightship Boxer which picked up Ungyak at Chignik on November Is, ten days after the battle, and took him to a hospital at Seward.
 Only One Shot
 The 57-year-old Chief was tend ing his trap line when he came upon the bear suddenly. Ungyak had but one shot in his gun. He fired it into the giant brownies mouth at close range and then grap- pied with the charging bear. One of Ungyak's arms was ripped to shreds and his lungs were pierced before he finally killed the bear with his hunting knife.
 Then the Chief stood up and walked seven and a half miles to his cabin.
 For week he was nursed faith fully by MT. and Mrs. Marden K. Stiffler, Governmnt teachers at An chorage Bay, and an unnamed Ma tive woman. They administered first aid and then tended him carefully until the Boxer arrived. Miraculous ly, infection did not set into his wounds. Chief Ungyak is expected to live.
 4700-Mile Trip
 Farrell travelled 4,700 miles in Northern and Westward Alaska on his seven-week trip. He brought craft products back from King Island, Diomede, Nome. St. Lawr- ence Island and Cape Prince of Wales.
 Because of ice conditions, the Boxer was not able to call at Un- alakleet, Teller or Hooper Bay. When the auxiliary engine which controls it's winches and anchors was disabled, the Boxer obtained permission to proceed direct from Seward to Seattle.
