There's daddyr' trilled the childish
treble OF one Of his two small

prison pallor on his cheeks, Myron
Sinclair took the witness stand here
as the prosecutions star witness
against his father.
Sinclair's other small daughter
rushed toward her father. His lips
trembled and he reached out his
hands toward her. Then a deputy
brusquely interviewed. He grabbed
the girl and pushed her back to her
seat.
Tears streamed down both the
children's faces. They wept in their
grandmother's lap. why can't we
so and kiss daddy?" they cried.
Mrs. Irma Sinclair, wife OF the
convicted banker. wept softly. She
had been on the same stand a few
minutes before. while her children
gazcd wonderingly at her.

vailed, however, and as a result the
brilliant New York schoolboy will be
at the top of his form for the Olympic
trials. Something precious might
easily have been lost from, both heart
and legs in a test against the speedy
Murchison at this time.
Although Hussey's most brilliant
listed performance is his p. S. A. J..
record, he was timed in an outdoor
meet in Brooklyn last summer, and
by competent watch holders, in the
world record time of S-5 seconds.
There were various objections made
to submitting that record for official
approval as a world mark, one of
them being that HusSey was running
before strong wind. Any first-class
track man will tell the world, how
ever, that 8 3-5 seconds made even
with a bowling gale behind ones back
is stepping high, wide and handsome.
Hussey is almost a perfect form
runner. His stride is even and true,
he is straight as an arrow in flight
and he has the leaping finish of a
Paddock to clip those precious ffths
of second from inexorable time.
Some day, the critics say, there will
be a man who will run the 100 in
8 2-5 seconds. In n few years Frank
Hussey may be that man.
