About this edition
Eino Oksanen captured the last of his three Boston wins with a 2:23:48 performance on a cold and rain-soaked afternoon. Oksanen finished one minute, 10 seconds ahead of countryman Paavo Pystynen, after taking the lead from him near Boston College. John J. Kelley finished fourth, nearly five minutes behind Oksanen.
