BOSTON, Feb. 8.-Leading all the
way, Gil Dodds, Boston's flying par
son, clicked of his 10th consecu-
tive indoor victory by outrunning
Tommy Quinn of the New York
A. c., by 20 yards with 4:08.9 per-
formance tonight in the Boston
A. AS classic Hunter Mile event.
Quinn, while following Dodds
home for the third time in as many
weeks, trailed him by only 2 yards
at the three-quarters mark. Then
Dodds cut loose with a terrific burst
that broke the New Yorker's heart.
Just as they reached the tap 30
yards back of Quinn, Sweden's Rune
GustafsSon gave final kick that
gave him third place ahead of Bill
Hulse of the New York A. c., vino
was 4 post entry.
Les MacMitchell, the third of the
New York A. G. starters and a
Hunter winner in each of his three
previous starts, trailed the five-man
field from start to finish before
winding up with 1929 clocking.
The smooth running Dodds ran q
59.2 quarter, just ahead OF Hulse.
The Parson was 2:02.2 at the half
mile and 3:06 fiat at the three
quarters. He finished very strong
and, If forced hard enough, prob
ably would have firted with his own
1904 indoor record made three
years ago.
