United Press STAFF Correspondent

Boston, April 10. - (UP) - The
army, which boasts the ability to
make long-distance mixers Of the
most unlikely prospects, could offer
no improvements today in the tech
nique Of sgt. Gerald Cote, winner
Of the 26-mile, 305-yard Boston A.
A. Marathon for two of the last
three years.
Cote, member of the Canadian
army, ranked far down the list of
favorites because Of a pulled tendon.
However, he upset the odds and sur
prised crowd Of nearly 500 900 yes
terday by winning the event over
the man-killing hills of Newton with
q quarter-mile TO spare. Pvt. John
Kelley Of the U. S. army, 1895 win
ner, was second.
Near Record Time
The Canadians time Of 2 hours,
% minutes and IS AS seconds was
only minute, "a 3-5 seconds Off the
record but was 2 As seconds faster
than his 1910 first-place clocking.
Every time I stepped down, It
hurt" Cote said at the finish, "but
II we didn't have the wind against
us all the way, there would have
been new record"
Cote never was more than 10 yards
out Of the lead and never dropped
further back than third as three
former winners dominated the race
over the Hopkinton to Boston
course.
Kelley ard war-worker Les Paw
son Of Pawtucket, r. l., a three.
time winner, wrested the pace-set-
ter'S post from Cote once, but the
20 year-old sergeant eventually
proved too much for them.
Pawson faded to fifth behind
Coast Guard Coxswain Lloyd Barr

would rather face any other batter
in q clutch.
Lewis. q right-hand batter, held
his club close to the end, wiggled
It around on a little rotund tummy
before giving the ball the ride.
Speaker and Lewis got Hooper
around often enough to score more
runs than the other side, as
attested by the Red Sox' American
league and world championships OF
1919 and IS. With Speayer gone,
Hooper and Lewis helped the Red
Sox to another world title in 'l6
and Hooper was alone when they
went on to still another in 'l8.
Hooper was remarkable in COM
ing in on low line drives, sliding
on one knee for 10 yards or more in
order to make the catch. He ap-
peared to be putting the shot when
he threw, but 1t was always a bulls
eye. He played the right or sun
field at Fenway Park, the most diff
ficult Of all big league fields.
Speaker was left-handed throw
er. On throw to the plate, he gen.
orally aimed 1t halfway between
third and home, and the natural
out-shoot on the ball would zoom
1t into Bill Carrigan's hands.
UNASSISTED DOUBLE PLAYS
Speaker played the shortest center
field and could travel back farther
than any man who ever lived.
He is the only outfielder who ever
made two unassisted double plays in
q season, the only one to make one
in a World Series-against the
New York Giants in 1912.
It was nothing short of suicide
for a baserunner to try for an ex-
ira base or to attempt to score
from third after Harry Hooper,
Duffy Lewis or iris Speaker had
made O catch.
Not even the ventureSome Ty
Cobb would run the risk.
