July 17, 1926 WINNETKA TALK PLAN LONG RELAY Y. M. C. A. Will Hold Relay Race From New York to Chicago Two Years Hence Winnetka boys will be eligible to compete in a New York-Chicago relay race, announced to start from New York two years hence, July 15, 1928, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. This will be the twentieth anniversary of what was called, "the world's great- est relay race," run over the same route July 15, 1908. Four thousand boys will be picked from those in training to actually run the race, each boy covering one quarter of a mile of the approximately 1,000 miles between the two cities. Only boys born since the original relay will be eligible to compete. The time of the original race for the thou- sand miles between the two cities was 116 hours, 50 minutes, 30 seconds. The race will be run against time day and night, rain or shine. The plan, according to Dr. R. A. Al- len, city physical work secretary of |' the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago, is to take two years to train the greatest group of young athletes that has ever taken part in a single event. There will be a runner for every quarter mile, over 4000 in all. Every runner will be carefully picked and must not only be a good athlete but in all around de- velopment. Runners, according to the announce- ment, must be over 15 and under 20 years of age on the day the race starts. This means that boys who are today 13 years old and under 18 years, may start to train for the race. Will Carry Torch The runners, will, it is said, carry a metal torch, in which will be en- closed a message from the Mayor of New York to the Mayor of Chicago.

The message from mayor to mayor will be delivered at the city hall in Chicago and the torch with the mes- sages turned over to the Boys' de- partments of the Y. M. C. A. of Chi- cago, according to Dr. Allen. The branch receiving the torch must agree to relay it to another department within thirty days and so to other as- sociations. The torch must always be born on foot, and the association re- ceiving the torch, will hold an assem- bly, read the message, and plan to pass it on to some other point. It is hoped, according to the Chicago | | directors of physical education, to run {as many boys in this relay who are [the sons of these who participated in [the race eighteen years ago. No at- tempt at the organization of the race, according to the leaders, is to be made at this time. It has not yet been de- cided just where the torch will be taken from the Gary boys by the Chi- cago lads to bring it into the city. The local Boys' work secretaries and physical directors of the Y. M. C. A. have unanimously approved of the race and will appoint a committee to have charge of it. The Home and Garden club will meet Monday, July 19, to hold a picnic on the lawn of Mrs. Earl M. De Moe's farm on the Dundee road. ---- Mr. and Mrs. Al Lovedale, 42 Kenil- worth avenue, spent last week fishing at Eagle Lake, Wis. dS Mrs. F. E. M.
