This Saturday, Wallasey Athletic Club are promoting the first of the Cross-Country Championships which it is hoped will be promoted for the benefit of Wallasey schoolboys and members of local youth clubs.
The entry for to-day's races exceeds all expectations, 140 boys facing the starter in the schoolboys' race, and 20 in the youths' race. The schoolboys' race is also a team championship.
The first race is at 3-15 p.m. and anybody interested should attend at Wallasey A.C's headquarters on Leasowe Road, 100 yards from Wallasey Village Station.
The Director of Education will start the races, and the Mayor of Wallasey (Ald. J. L. Gill, ,T.P.) will present the medals, all of which have been awarded by the Wallasey Athletic Club.
