his record, but not affecting the result
of the race. His time was SO seconds.

PERSONS IN DISGUISE.

OF all the noble athletes who visited
our ball yard this summer. there was
but one who stuck up for the Rus
SLAMS, and hoped they would beat the
Japs out the box. He is Mr.. f. Per-
sons, and it is but natural that he

uard Pietrovitch Personski. Wouldn't
that jar the label off a can of Russian
caviar?
In his younger days Eddie drove a
