was seated in his private Office in
the executive Offices when young
Leech, clad in running attire, was
ushered III by Rudolph Forester, one
of the presidents secretaries, and
John B. Sleman of the local Y. M.

means to an end, and see no reason
why men should have round Shout
ders,'' commented the president in
accepting the message. When told
that nearly 1000 speedy boys had
handled the message since it left
New York Friday afternoon he mani
tested great interest. The president,
after a brief conversation with the
young athlete, gave him one of his
photographs bearing his autograph.
The run from Baltimore to Wash
ington was exciting, the feet mes
sengers endeavoring to excel each
other in swiftness. Between Balti-
more and Hyattsville the message
was carried along by boys strung
along the route a quarter of a mile
apart. The last seven miles was
marked by the speediest runs, the
message being handled by the lads
in one and two-hundred yards dashes.
Nearly a score of automobiles ac-
companied the runners.
