The Illinois group was completed by a surrealist portrait of Charlie Chaplin, the man and the character by Anita Venier Alexander...
...Athletic Club: the national Amateur Athletic Union marathon, from Mount Vernon to the White House, winning by a half-mile over Pat Dengis of Baltimore and Canadian James Bartlett. C.
