BOSTON, Feb. 9.-After fulfilling
his promise to set the pace, Marcel
Hansenne of France, again had to
take third behind Les MacMitchell
OF New York, in the Boston A. A.
meets Hunter Mile feature tonight
before a packed 1890 crowd at the
Boston Garden. While turning in his
third straight win in as many weeks,
MacMitchell romped to the tape in
4:13:6.
National Cross-C Country Titlist Tom
Quinn Of the New York A. c., who
moved into second place after Han
senne surrendered the lead to Mac
Mitchell during the sixth of the IL
turns about the track, stayed there
to finish Is yards behind the victor.
Hansenne, the French metric mile
champion, planned to 60 out at the
gun and do 59-second first quarter.
1t took. him 60.6 for the first 440
yards. Just after MacMitchell took
over the lead, he was clocked at
2:06.9 for the half mile.
After the seventh lap, the long
and lean Frenchman, whose ply
sique stamps him as a natural half
miller, although he has beaten Gun
der Haegg in mile competition,
started to wilt.
In last weeks Wanamaker classic,
MacMitchell ran a very slow 4:19
as Quinn and Hansenne wound up
behind him in tonight's order. Les
previous winning hunter efforts
were 4:10.7 in 1941 and Alb the
following year.
Harris Is Winner Again.
National Champion Elmore Har-
ris OF the Shore A. c., ripped of
his second straight major 600-yard
victory in as many weeks by out
footing Herb McKenley of Illinois
in 1:14.2.
Last years Hollis winner, 30
year-old Jimmy Herbert of New
York, came up from last during the
third and final lap to nose out
Maurice tTwin) Challenger of New
York u, for third.
After making six false starts, the
Briggs 5o-yard dash finalists finally
were sent away, two events later
than scheduled, and another shore
aye-cer. Ed Conwell, raced to vic
tory with a foot to spare on Tom
Carey of the Pioneer A. c., New
York, with 5.4 seconds effort.
Wright Gets Revenge.
1t. Bob Wright of the United
States Navy, a former Big Ten
titlist at Ohio State, turned the
tables on Ed Dugger, national indoor
and outdoor timber topping titlist,
by an eyelash in the Harry Hillman
memorial 45-yard high hurdles
event.
Continuing from where he left
OF before going into the Army back
in 1943, Fred Sickinger of Man
haitian, nipped Stan (other New
York U. twin Calender at the last
turn and went on to win the Lap
ham 1000 by 2 feet in 2:l6.2.
Forest Efaw gained his first Bos-
ton triumph after a half dozen
years of failure by running away
from Fred Fieler, Drake distance
star. in the Billings 2-mile event in
9:243.
