BILL oUEAL, AMERICAS GREATEST PRO-
FEssIoNAL DISTANCE RUNNER, WHO MAY
GO ABROAD.
July and the first part of August. They
have invited athletes from all over the
world to try for the prizes. The only
other American besides Sheppard who
will probably compete in that country
is Harry Gissing.
Sheppard will try for the prizes in
the half mile events. He believes that
if he is in old time shape he ought to
have no trouble in breezing homo n
winner in each.
After the Olympic games in 1908,
instead of coming home with the rest
Of the bunch, Shep stole over to Scot.
land and won number of races.
Ever since the Scots have been al
Shep to compete again In their games
There is no doubt that Americas
reputation for producing the greatest
short distance athletes will be made
palmer with Sheppard and Gissing
matching their speed against the best
of Europe in the Scotland tournament
Over there they don't think we really
have the very best, but when they see
Mel crossing the tape ahead of their
champions they will have a better
opinion of US.
Tex Ramsdell, the crack sprinter
of the University of Pennsylvania. is
thinking seriously of making another
visit TO England to compete in num-
ber of events. Tex showed his heels
to a number of Englishmen while
abroad last summer. The Penn star
may be accompanied by Gwyn Henry,
the Texas speed marvel.
The professional runners will also
have their innings abroad. If plans do
not fail several American distance men
will journey abroad in search of the
loose currency that is supposed to be
lying around over there. Hans Hol-
mer will run several match races with
the best runners to be procured. One
Of his first races will be with several
fast men at the full Marathon dis
tance, the race taking place ON the Isle
Of Man the last week in June. In this
race Bouchard. the Brenchman, will
be Holmer's chief opponent
Holmer has arranged for a couple of
races In France and Germany. The
Germans are at fever heat over foot
running, over 1,400 amateurs turning
out for one cross country run. Bill
Queal, the greatest of all professional
distance runners, is also thinking OF
taking trip abroad. Bill has received
several offers from the promoters on
the other side of the Atlantic to meet
their stars, and 1t is more than likely
he will accept.

costs of $3.50 by Judge Dodge IN the

ing guilty to two counts out of sixty Of
accepting rebates from the New York.
New Haven and Hartford railroad.
The New Haven, which was indicted
for giving rebates TO the milk company,
has not yet been brought into court in
answer to the indictments. These in
dictments were returned by the federal
grand jury on May 20 following a gen.
eral federal investigation Of the milk
situation In New England.
Seven Boston dealers were indicted
at the same time for conspiring as n
trust to control the selling situation
in Boston.
The New Haven and the Elm Farm
company, which Is said to be con-
trolled by D. Whiting g. Co., were
charged in sixty counts with giving

Charles H. Hyde, former chamber
lain of New York city, who was re-
Gently indicted on the charge of brib-
cry and with accepting a gratuity as
a public Officer had the handling of
approximately S5OO,0O0,OOO during his
term. Mr. Hyde has been in the pub
lie eye since last December, when he
evaded service to testify before a legis-
lative investigating committee. He
was finally located on a houseboat in
Florida, but did not return to New
York until the life of the committee
had expired by limitation. He resign
ed his Office as soon as the indictments
were returned against him.
Mr.. Hyde is native of Nova Scotia.
about forty-two years Of age, and is a
nephew of Mayor Gaynor by the lat
ter's first marriage. During tile may
orally contest in New York he man
aged Gaynor's canvass and on the
latter's election was named chamber
lain of the city's finances. Previously
he had been associated with the mayor
in the law business. His part in the
campaign was mainly to attend to the
financial end of the fight. The job of
city chamberlain pays $4,000 per year
but its possibilities in a financial way
are tremendous. Hyde did not attract
much attention in his office until the
affairs of the Carnegie Trust company
came under investigation. Then it
was alleged that he was permitted to
borrow large sums from that institu-
ton in return for making the trust
company a depository for city funds.
He claims that the charges are false
and that he is the victim of a con
spiracy.
