Patriotism the POwer that
Gave Meredith His Start

Philadelphia. Pa, Jan. 22-Patriotism
is seldom thought of as the motive pow
er In athletics. but Il was a prime fac
tor In one OF the greatest middle dis
tance races on record. The event was
the combination s00-metres and -half-mile
run at the Olympic games in Stockholm
in 1912, and Ted Meredith, the present
captain Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania track team, was the hero.
At that time Meredith was a student
at Mercersburg Academy. He hao won
good deal of fame by running a quar-
ter mile In IS As seconds and a half-mile
in IS As. But the old-timers were sure
that his inexperienee would be fatal to
him at Stockholm When the runners
toed the mark in the final heat of this
event, 1t was the consensus of opinion
that the fight would be between Mel.
Sheppard. fra Davenport and Hans
Braun. Of Germany, with Meredith. the
schoolboy, possible contender
Sheppard Jumped into the front at the
start and took the pole followed by
Meredith and Braun. Sheppard was up
to his old trick of setting killing pace
at the start then to gradually slow down
in order that his phenomenal sprint
might beat the field at the finish. But he
had beaten Meredith with these tactics
once before and the Mercersburg boy
was waiting for him. Meredith moved
fn.. determined to take the pace the mo-
ment Sheppard slowed down. With two
such men as Meredith and Braun at his
shoulder Sheppard did not dare to slack
en- speed, with the result that he con-
tinued to set the pace and made the
first quarter In the phenomenal time OF
hfty-two seconds. The men remained In

While he was secretary OF the Missouri
State Sportsmen's Game and Fish Pro-
tective Association, Grether drafted the
first modern set of fish and game laws In
Missouri. These laws provided for paid
officers to enforce them, and Grether was
named as chief assistant. He did such
excellent work that he was promoted to
the Office of chief deputy commissioner
under the administration which followed.
Missouri has long been the paradise for
market hunters and game dealers who
not only thrived upon the resources of
that State, but upon the supply from
other States. Grether. however. soon
demonstrated his ability to cope with this
situation. With the aid of two dogs es-
pecialiy trained to scent game concealed
in bags, grips, boxes, ETC.. he soon put an
end to the illegal shipment of game. and,
of course, he becomes very unpopular
with a certain class of people. They
poisoned his dogs.
Grether wrote the game laws passed by
the Missouri legislature at its recent ses-
sion, and was instrumental in framing
the new law in Illinois which prevents
the commercialism of game in that State.
Quite naturally with all his experience
Grether should be able to write enter
tainingly on all subjects pertaining to
hunting and fishing, and he can. For ten
years he has been the writer OF a weekly
page of rod and gun news on st. Louis
newspaper. As he has roughed 1t in Cali
fornia and Colorado and along the Mexi-
can border, and undergone many hard
ships he has a choice lot of "reminiscences
which he works in his columns.
Crit" is Grether's middle name. Three
years ago he was injured in an automo-
bile accident and for twenty-nine weeks
was confined in a st. Louis hospital. but
this handicap of illness,
