lucky to place.
Curtiss set the pace after the first
century and coming down the home
stretch looked like sure winner, lead
ing the way by some ten yards. Sud
denly a tall youth dashed from out the
field and breezed into second place and
set sail for the leader. He gained
rapidly, and some twenty yards from
home was but two yards behind.
At this point Curtis looked around
and slightly slackened his stride. Before
he could get back again Dudley was on
even terms. Two yards from the tape
Dudley flung himself forward and broke
the yarn winner by a foot over the
surprised Curtiss.

But this wasn't all. Forty five min :

wonderful sprint nosed out "Dusky''

premier honors in the one mile intercity
relay between Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago. Five minutes later he ran on
the two mile relay team OF Boston
against Chicago, New York and Phiia

Earl Dudley Jr. Former Boston High School Runner,

BY ROBERT T. PAUL

TT WAS a tired and weary gathering
Of track and field athletes and officials
that wandered into this city last eve
ming on the local from Camp Dix, where
the American enlisted mems Olympic
games had held sway on Saturday and
Sunday, under the direction Of the army
officials and the Knights Of Columbus.
But there was one among the group,
who, while willing to admit that he was
fatigued, had plenty of snap in his
steps, and wore smile that refused
TO come off. This was Earl S. Dudley,
Jr., of the Boston Athletic Club, who
competed for the army. Dudley had
reason to be happy, for he had sprung
into the limelight overnight, upset the

Of three gold medals, signifying three
victories .....

Dave Caldwell, the former Cornell
middle distance runner, who so ably
represented the Boston A. A. in the
quarter and half mile races throughout
the East for so many seasons, has hung
up his spikes, but it seems that the
organization from Down East" will
not be without star in the middle dis
tance events.
Dudley showed in the Camp Dix meet
that he is bound to be one of the best
middle distance runners developed in the
East for some time. He is a well built
lad who can stand plenty Of hard going
and still have enough to make his final
sprint. He came to Camp Dix un-
heralded, but left as one Of the real
stars Of the games.

There was general agreement that in

been made for wheat bought. the wheat

trades contract obligations by which their
trade practices and margins of profit
would be subject to review and control by

mills agree that their total gross operating
profits between wheat bought and the fin

agreed basis per barrel of flour manufac-
tured. thus assuring immediate reflection
to the consumer of any reduced price of
wheat supplied to the mills.
The jobbers expressed a willingness also
to contract that their handling margins
should not exceed the price fixed on an
agreed basis. thus making Immediately eff
