of Boston, where he remained for about
six months. After that he went to the
English High School of Boston and speedily
gained much distinction by his athletic
abilities. The athletic manager of the
school wanted him to go in for broad jump
ing. but he showed so much speed in the
sprints. that he was quickly put under a
competent man to be developed
He remained here for about year and
half and then went to Worcester Acad-
emy. where he stayed for two years. during
which time he sent by his fellow stu
dents to compete in the inter-SchoIastic
games at New York, where he surprised all
by his tieetness of foot. While at the high
school he ran the 100 yards in ten seconds.
He now holds the record from the forty
six-yard run up to the 120. He is a small
but strongly built lad and often deceives
