BOSTON, Jan. 25-Walter Mehl,

while outsprinting the favored
John Munski of Columbia, Mo, by
about a foot in the Prout meets
K. of C. feature tonight before a
10000 crowd at the Boston Garden.
Mehl, who finished second to
Munski here two weeks ago, spent
most of the early laps just behind
the pace-maker, Luigi Beccali, a
1882 Olympic champion, until the
Italian reached the three-quarters
mark in the rapid time of 800 fiat.
At that point Munski was third and
Chuck Fenske, also of Wisconsin
and last years winner, was fourth
In the seven-man field.
With about three laps to go, Mehl
swept into the lead without an
argument and MunSki also hoisted
his pace a few notches to pull into
second. They almost sprinted
through the remaining distance,
with Munski making a gallant but
futile bid as he came off the final
corner for the last 20 yards.
McMitchell Gets Third Place.
During the ball lap Les Nc
Mitchell of New York University
put on a terrific squirt, which gave
him third place, about yards be-
hind Munski. Mel Trutt of Des
Moines, Iowa, ran fourth almost all
the way and was there at the finish
line, with Gene Venzke fifth, the
veteran Fenske of the New York
A. C. sixth and the tired Beccan a
poor last.
Mehl's time, really remarkable for
this early in the season, was three
tenths of a second under Boston's s
previous fastest mile, indoors and
out, run by Glenn Cunningham on
the same boards three years ago.
Running the fastest 1000 yards
in Boston's indoor track history,

tional collegiate half-mile titlist,

clocked in 2:118 over the same
boards where he was winner two
weeks ago.

The people of the country districts beginning to
realize what the Rural Electrfcation passed by
congress, upon the recommendation of President
Roosevelt, is meaning. Rapid progress has been
made in the five years since the put
effect. When the question up in congress it was
fought quite bitterly but it passed nevertheless. The
opposition was largely political and by the power trust.
In time it is likely that the harnessng of great
rivers where electricity is produced rural electrca

have cost vast of money, but in few years we
will realize that it money wisely spent.
