Boston Marathon Rated “Wide Open” : Lacrosse Clash Is College T4 HELD POSSILE VICTORS IN GRIND Kelley, Second Last Year; Komonen, 1934 Chamipion, Get Main Attention. By the Associated Press. OSTON, April 19.—Four times since 1897, the runner-up in a Boston A. A. Marathon has plodded to victory in his next start and today slim Johnny Kelley of Arlington may duplicate this feat. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. i ECAUSE they like nice things, i and because their friends are getting too old to chase all over the State trying to see the jumps in a steeplechase race, the gentlemen who manage America's Little Grand National will be celebrat- ing a big day tomorrow afternoon. Thirty-four horses, or & goodly dele- gation selected from that number, will be on hand to help them when they inaugurate the newest of steeplechase courses for one of the oldest of races, the thirty-sixth Little Grand, and the recently established Churchville This difficult trick of going from gecond to first in successive years was | mastered first by the veteran Clarence | Demar in 1911, when the Keene, N. H., | schoolmaster gained the first of his| seven victories in this torturous 26- ! mile 385-yard grind over the hills| between Hopkinton and Boston. | Montreal's Edouard Fabre, the fifth | of the classic’s seven Canadian victors, qualified for this select quartet in 1915, as did Charlie Mellor of Chicago | 10 years later. Komonen Has Great Task. HILE Kelley strives for such W success, Dave Komonen of ‘ Sudbury, Ontario, will attempt | the herculean task of winning this race twice in succession, J. J. Caffrey of Hamilton, Ontario, was the first to | gain such a “double,” and he stood | alone until Demar led the pack three times in a row from 1922-24. Besides Komonen and Demar, there | will be 4 other former winners among the 21 listed to go to the starting line on the stroke of noon—Paul Debruyn, Jimmy Henigan, Bill Kennedy and Leslie Pawson, holder of the course’s 2:31.013; record. Seven others, rated just as strong, competent and experienced as Kelley | and the six former victors, will start with them. A victory by Alex Burn-| side or Dick Wilding, other Canadian threats: Karl Koski or Fred Ward, the | outstanding New Yorkers: Bill Mc- Mahon of Worcester, Pat Dengis of Baltimore. or Russell George, full- blooded Indian from around Syracuse, would not be regarded as an upset. | burg recently: Cup. The scene of action will be the William R. Whittingham estate near Hereford, Md., on the York road, and between 10,000 and 15,000 lovers of cross-country sport are expected to attend. For years the Grand National was run over a sharp-cornered, strangely designed route on the Isaac Emerson place near Baltimore. Like the now dis- carded Virginia Gold Cup course, the layout required spectators to run about as far as the horses if they wanted to see anything. Following an espe- cially disastrous session last Spring, the Grand National committee re- solved to move to the Whittingham place, where it is said virtually every jump is visible. The feature entry list for this year includes such formidable performers as Northwood Stable’s Indigo, winner of the Middleburg Cup last week; Alexander Cassatt’s Vaudeville, the 193¢ winner of the Grand National; Mrs. Kenneth Jenkins’ Patrick’s Day, 2d, which ran a good race at Middle- Capt. Kettle, twice winner of the Maryland Hunt Cup for Charles S. Cheston; B. L. Behr's Out= law and Brose Hover, Slieve Lune, a horse which usually does well for Wallace Lanahan in Maryland, and Paul Mellon's Chatterplay, another winner at the recent Glenwood meeting. Like the big race, the Churchville Cup is a 3-mile affair over post and rail fences, with two water haz- ards in the course. Its 16 entries in- clude Dan McGee, Mullah and As Fair from the Behr stables; B. H. Gris- | Avalon, a one-time flat racer con- Throng to Witness Race. ORE than a half million specta- tors are attracted by this annual exhibition. Thousands of them | particular attention to the | will pay runner wearing No. 78—Leo Lermond of Brocklyn, who won the national mile title a few years ago for the B. A A Many prominent coaches contend that a great miler, with proper trai ing. can finish well up in any mara- thon. They point to Joey Ray, Chi- cago star, who almost ran his feet off here in 1928 to place third and qualify for the United States Olympic team. Lermond, according to reports, has been conditioning himself for this grind in Florida. { | TECH ILLUSTRATES | STRENGTH IN TRACK | Wallops Episcopal, Regarded as Hottest Rival, by 82 to 45. Relay Team Speedy. F THERE was any doubt as to the superiority of the Tech High track and field team in this section it has been dispelled in no uncertain | way. The boys who wear the maroon and gray yesterday walloped Episcopal | High, the only outfit hereabout given a chance to stop them, by 82-45. in a | dual meet at Alexandria. | It was in the running events that| that McKinley contingent did most of its scoring. Episcopal showed stoutly in the field events. Two_Episcopal | field records were broken. Flick Hox- ton, crack quarter miler of the Vir- ginians, raced the course in 50.4 and Tech's mile relay team of George Bogan, Monroe Emmerich, Byron Hay- den and Le Roy Green streaked the distance in 3:29. Emmerich, Bogan and March of Tech and Bryant of Episcopal, an Alexandria boy, each won two events. Emmerich won the high and low hurdles, Bogan the 100 and 220 yard dashes, March the high and broad jumps and Bryant the discus and shotput. Summaries: S| —Won by Bryant (E): second.

IDDLEBURG'S wind-up was one of the most amazing mixtures of comedy and tragedy ever brewed on a race course. From the fall of the flag in the Wanquepin hurdle race there was monkey business on every side. Old Bachelor, the ultimate winner, almost ran off the course at the second jump. When W. Bethel discovered his mistake, he swung the horse hard back into the wings, just slipped inside, and took an angle jump across the field. Mean- while somebody had knocked a piece out of the obstacle. The Old Mill Stable’s Larry Damm espied that hole and dove for it, losing “Hold 'em” Jones in the process. There was another mix-up with Old Bachelor, Dundrillin and Bad |at the top of the hill, and Bobby wie £ wiaTa’ B o el Young, who was almost knocked off, lodged a foul claim after the finish. The stewards decided Bethel had suffered as much as any one and disallowed the claim. The Pantherskin would have been a mere sleeping kitten in compari- son had it not been for Col. W. W. T. Torr's Handsome, which brought to mind the adage that handsome is as handsome does. Handsome did very badly Wednesday, refusing a jump once, climbing into it like a cow when Bill Streett tried sgain and event- ually giving up altogether. Then there. was the famous Little River, boiling with oceans of trouble. In the first half E. Russell cut a flag on Regent 2d while leading the pack, and most of them followed him. For a few minutes there was a mad scramble of stopping, wheeling and scooting back on the course. Henry Frost, who was riding his home grounds and couldn't be fooled, passed between the flags correctly Minor Leagues International. Rochester, 12; Newark, 7. Buffalo, 4; Albany, 2.

After Soughton Boy, which had fol- lowed him, fell, the race apparently belonged to Dude Danny and Prost in a walk. Then, out of a clear sky, Dude Danny broke down ard Frost had to dismount. At this point, “Jo” Fair's Jaunty inherited the lead, hav- ing been the first to realise the mis- take and set it aright. Sid Hirst was bringing Some Hero back into contention, and Lyman { Wright was second with Massapequa, another runner-outer. Then Jaunty fell. Eventually it was Massapequa’s race, although Julian Marshall re- mounted Jaunty and made up all the ground he could. The last half of the Little River saw “Tommy” Tompkins take that rough tumble on Steel Trap, breaking the boy's back, and Morgan Macy go down with Pimochio. It looked as if he had fractured a collar bone in the spill. That part, of course, not so funny. Really the meanest luck of the day befell Noel Laing on Oliver C. After cutting out the pace for about two miles in the Glenwood, he settled back and let The Prophet take the lead. At the two and one-half mile mark he was rating along beautifully about two lengths back. At the last fence he moved to the heels of the leader, and there he stayed, crouched for the stretch drive, until they hit the turn for home. ‘Then Noel tried to slip inside in & narrow hole. Either he misjudged the width or Jack Skinner's turn crowded him. At any rate, Oliver C.s quarters suddenly flew into the air, catapulted off the rail, and the Somerville can- didate was knocked out of stride, los- ing two irretrievable lengths. There seemed little doubt he would have won had not the break gone against Skinner later said he had pulled out slightly to avoid the corner of a hurdle wing set beside the track, and that Noel, rushing into the opening, must have struck it. There was no foul claimed, at any rate, and the stewards had nothing to say. * % X % HISA anda thata—Trainer Charlie Hicks says he will not send | Indigo in the Maryland this |year . . . which knocks our choice {in a cocked hat . . .

NLY four District college teams see action tomorrow, three of them representing Maryland, and only one of the contests, the Terp-8t. John's Col- lege lacrosse game, is on a home field. That will be decided in Bryd Stadium at College Park, starting at 3 o'clock. Outside of the stick battle, one of the biggest of the year in that sport, Maryland will have its track and base ball teams at Lexington, Va., oppos- ing Virginia Military Institute com- binations, while American U.’s tennis team will visit Randoiph Macon at Ashland, Va., for a match. Maryland, which has not shown any too encouragingly in practice this week, will be the underdog to St. John's in the shillalah matching tilt. Those who have seen both teams in action rate the attacks of the outfits about on a par, but give the Johnnies the edge when it comes to defense. Johnnies’ Defense Strong. T. JOHN'S has an unusually strong goalie in Kesmodel, who has been “through the mill,” and in Dono- hue, Lamond and Boucher doubtless has the best defense trio playing col- lege lacrosse. All have had lots of experience and have the physical ele- ments and saggressiveness that goes to make them effective. Lamond, incidentally, is a former Central High athlete. The Johnnies, too, have better re- serve strength than the Old Liners, a telling asset in as fast a game as the | stickwielding pastime. The teams are expected .to line up as follow: 8t.
