The ambitious Cunningham holds the 800 and 1500-meter championships by virtue of his defeats of Hornboetel. Mangan and Gene Venzke, and needs only a victory in the mile for distance supremacy.wi**enuWisioiCunningham is the sort of run-hilainIdtykdreui:htyerm?dman from Kansas' n led Glenn ner who beats men who can runreCunningham who is touring the boulevards and burning up the cinder strips. On the strength of this lad s 4:09.8 mile, he ought to furnish just the kind of competition that Lovelock needs.* • *A meeting of these two milersis tentatively projected for Berlinnext month. On the theory thatman is not unlike a race horse which tapers off somew'hat after top form is reached, Lovelock is likely to find the Kansas cyclone a handf ul of -trouble.faster than he can, by which is meant he runs a great competitive race. Knowing wfhat he has to do in a race w’ith Lovelock, he will be ready to do his very best.It m „ sound like hereey to say that Cunningham can beat Lovelock, but if the New Zealander is not in tip-top form that may be the surprising result.In this sort of contest both men may come nearer the four-minute mile, which still a hazy dream, nearer the four-minute mile, which still is a hazy dream.vtPlt;VI1*VI1lt;VpJp
