DORANDO PIETRI.

found the acknowledged greatest mid
die distance runner of all time, and,
though rumor has been current that
Dorando would meet the British Won
der, such a match IS hardly like to be
made, as the Italians speciality is
races of Marathon distance, about
twenty-siX miles. Shrubb rarely runs
in contests over ten miles. Tom Long
boat, the fleet Indian, is a more likely
opponent for the son of sunny Italy.
Last summer Johnny Hayes conquered
Dorando in the sensational and un-
precedented London Olympic Mara
thOn, when the Italian was assisted
across the tape by the bungling Brit
ish officials, only to be disqualified and
the race awarded to Hayes. 1t was
his thirst for revenge that urged Do
rando to cross the pond and again try
conclusions with the doughty New
York boy.
Wine Is the fuel that makes the fires
Of energy burn within the tireless legs
Of the wonderful little Neapolitan. AS
he himself says: "Wiue. wine, plenty
of wine-that is what makes me run.
1t is so good, 1t keeps me from get
ting tired. 1t makes me run long and
fast. When | have no wine | feel
faint. 1t Is the fluid of life" Three
quarts of Chianti a day is mild going
for Dorando. He declares that had
the British officials given him some
Wine instead of water when pushing
him along in the Olympic race he
would have crossed the line uaassisted.

PAM A man named Crafts. who had the
appearance OF a prosperous business man,
conducted the negotiations for renting tine
offices and these arrangements were later
approved by a man giving the name Of
Mason. 1t was Mason who owned the red
automobile and is believed by Pierce to
have been none other than Maybray.

rooms for some time Pierce's suspicious
were aroused from the fact that the mem
bers Of the supposed Southern Land and
Timber company never left a single scrap
Of paper about the office. although there
was a typewriter and other articles OF office
furniture in the rooms.
When the firm" gave up It's offices last
November it was Crafts who notified Pierce
that they would not require the rooms any
longer, Crafts, according to Pierce, gave
as the reason for not requiring the offices
any longer that Mason had died. It was
about this time that Maybray made a
hurried departure from Council Bluffs on
learning, 1t is believed, that the govern
ment authorities were on his track.
