Sport: Who Won, Mar. 29, 1937

¶Runner Glenn Cunningham: the Columbian Mile, feature race of the Knights of Columbus Track Meet, for the fifth consecutive year; in Manhattan. Last major race of the board-track season, the Columbian Mile is often the most remarkable. In 1934, Cunningham won it in the amazingly fast time of 4:08.4, a world's record (indoors). In 1936, when all the entrants were too cautious to set the pace, he won in the ridiculously slow time of 4:46.8. Last week, the race upheld its tradition. Cunningham, climaxing a season in which he has won five of the six major miles, ran the first half of the race two seconds faster than he did in 1934, but failed by three-tenths of a second to break his record. The three other entrants — Kansas' Archie San Romanj, Italy's Luigi Beccali, New York's Gene Venzke—finished so close together that the last one's time was less than three seconds worse than the winner's.
