PURCHASE MAY
 NOT RACE AGAIN

Purchase, which beat Sir Barton in the Dwyer Stakes at Aqueduct last year and which ranked with the best three-year-olds of 1919, may not go to the post this year.
 Sam Hildreth. who owns the great son of Ommondale, was authority for this statement at Belmont Park yes terday.
 Last fall when galloping at Lau- rel. Purchase stepped in hole and severely wrenched an ankle. It took a long time to heal, and a day or two ago, when being worked for the Metropolitan. the weakness return ed, and Hildreth now fears that he will not be able to stand the train ing necessary to get him back to his best.
 Rather than take chance of breaking him down he will retire him. if necessary, to the Rancocas Farm, where he will stand at the head of the breeding establishment which Hildreth is getting together

this time that he is going to be on the ground at Antwerp two months before the running of the race. He will trek the course many times before the test, doubtless, and will be perfectly familiar with the twists and turns of the route. This is wise precedent established by. Sherring, the Canadian, who won the Mara thon at Athens in 1902. Sherring walked or trotted over the Athens course several times week for two months previous to the big event. His familiarity with the course prov ed a strong advantage for the Athens course was a hi1ly, uneven stretch. The Antwerp course is comparatively level all the way, but Gitsham fiugres there must be something to learn about it.
 Gitsham stands five feet, eight inches high and weighs but 15O pounds. Nevertheless he has well developed leg and abdominal muscles and remarkable lung power. He is so well thought of in South Africa that recently when a try out was held for Olympic marathon candi- dates he was not asked to enter, for the simple reason South Africa has already conceded him first place in the Antwerp run
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-05-25

But at any rate Gitsham, who had the race well in hand up to this point caved in at once from the effects of his folly. There was an organic rev. olution within the dust, begrimmed frame of the runner. His eyes roll ed. A state of semi-paralysis grip ped his leg muscles While he bat tied with the disastrous condition, Kennedy K. McArthur, a smoothly running countryman, passed him and broke the tape a full three hundred yards in front of the tottering Git sham.
 McArthur with the victor's wreath of laurel about his body crashed to the turf senseless at the finish. Git sham, partly recovered, picked him up and assisted him from the course Had Gitsham carried a lemon with hirn-the Swedish rules prohibited an attendant on bicycles for the run ners-Gitsham would doubtless have won that race.
 There will be no such unfortunate incident happening in this years test at Antwerp. Gitsham, for one thing knows that he cannot drink water during a grind of the Marathon des- cription. He will win or lose this year purely on his running ability.

MECHANICIAN AN
 IMPORTANT ASSET IN RECORD RACE
Keeps Watch of Other Cars As Well As Condition of
 Auto in Dash.

Indianapolis, May 25-The mechan- 1clan who rides 500 furiously paced miles in his little seat at the side of race driver gets little or no recogni- tion and will scarcely be noticed by the thousands of persons who will see the fastest field of drivers, featuring the stars of two continents, in the 5O0-nile dash for s50,000 to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, next Monday. Yet he plays a very important role.
 It is his duty to keep a close watch on the tires, check each layer as it succumbs to the friction caused by rapidly moving wheels on rough brick pavement. and to signal the pits when he is about to make a change so that everything will be ready when they roll in for a sojourn of seconds.
 He must keep a close watch on other cars in the race, particularly those in the rear, signaling his driver if one of the cars is about to pass. It is an unwritten law of drivers that all passing be negotiated on the right side. In case of a mechanical break down he is the only one who is per- mitted to assist the driver in makin g repairs.
 LII ouS1iooI Iile I1Se VI aI iee1'I while the car is in motion-a spoken word never passes between driver and his aid. The sign language is brought into play, and each team has it's pe- culiar signals:
 He sits in the car without any pro- tection-he might be bounced out any number of times. His only chance is to brace his feet on the floor. There is no steering wheel to help hold him in the car. Most any time during the race he can be seen furiously pump ing oil with a small hand pump. The thrills of the driver are his thrills-but the world never knows It is the driver who gets all the honor and glory in victory. He has one consolation = 20 pel ] cent. of the net winnings usually fnc 1 a way into his pockets

 Eight years is a long time in the life of an athlete. But there is a specimen of athlete, who, from here ditary physical favors or the results of clean living, or sometimes both, obtains an extension from the prun- ing scyhte of Time as he mows the field of athletics. Such a person is Christopher Gitsham of South Africa, that country's favorite entrant in the coming Olympic Marathon at Ant werp this summer. But to get back to the eight years. Just that many years ago the small but stocky Git sham proved himself the greatest Marathon runner in the world-until he came within sight of a refresh ment tent three miles from the finish of that great Olympic classic at Stockholm. There he stopped and downed nearly a quart of water. It relieved him of two things, that drink First his thirst, which was a mighty one and therefore a mighty relief And secondly the Olympic Marathon honors, which may or may not have been a mightier relief Gitsham had never said.

FEB TERRY SHOWING
 ABILITY WITH STICK

Environment means a lot to most baseball players. It often happens that a player will look like a world beater with one team, and upon go- ing to another outfit--at a fabulous price---will f1ivver out miseralbly. It works the other way, too, as in the case of Zeb Terry, the young, second baseman of the Cubs. Feb was given the gate by the White Sox, Braves and Pirates.
 With the first two teams his work was anything but brilliant, but with Pittsburgh he played wonderful game last year. He wanted more , money from that club, 50 Dreyfuss sold him to the Cubs, where he is now swatting the pill som mewhere close to the 400 mark.
