MELVIN SHEPPARD
 WILL |FAVE TRACK
Greatest Middle Distance Runner Ever Developed
 Announces Retirement

New York, February n.-Melvin W Sheppard, probably the greatest middle distance runner ever developed in Amer ica and perhaps in the world announced his retirement from competition as the result of injuries sustained in the New York Athletic club games at Madison Square Garden last night.
 Sheppard was hurt while competing Tn a 300-yard event. He crashed into board fence, tearing his right arm and cutting his legs.
 Sheppard retired after nearly 13 years of competition. He made wonderful record at the London Olympic games in 1908. scoring more points than any other individual. He holds eight worlds rec ords and has won more than 600 medals and scores of national and sectional cham pionships.
 Sheppard ran his first race at Phila de,phia in 1902. and later lie ran for Brown preparatory in Philadelphia, creating n furore in scholastic circles. He came to New York in 1906 and joined the Irish American Athletic association with which organization he did his greatest work. Last year he became a member of the Millrose Athletic club and recently joined the Seventy first regiment.
