Los Angeles, Sept. 3o.-It seems
as if Charley Paddock, who has beer
running for IA years and who holds
IL world sprint records, would have
enough Of the running racket-or at
least would be slowed down to such
an extent that he couldn't be consid-
cred dangerous now against a strong
field.
Strange TO say, Charley is not
through. Neither does he think he
is so terribly slow. Far from it, if
YOU will only take note Of his plans
for next year.
The smiling young man who i
/ generally termed "The Tastes,
Human wants to make Uncle SAM
1923 Olympic team and he wants tc
break Roland Locke's mark in the
900 before he calls it enough.
Once Held 22O Record
Paddock once held the record fol
the 200 that Locke now holds. That
| then was his 14th world record. And
he priced it highly, as he does the
other ones. But Locke came along
in 1926 and covered the 900 yards
| in 2O.5 seconds to shatter Paddock s
| mark.
From his home in Pasadena, Calf.
comes word that Paddock is going t.
start an intensive training campaign
in February for place on this coun
try's next Olympic team. Nothing
says Paddock, is gong to interfer'
with his siege of training. Not ever
the movies.

must seem an cold man." In years
Paddock is still young. having cele
brated his 9th birthday last Aug
ust, but as runner he is stamped ;
veteran.
His first race was in 1918. Like
wise, that first race was also hi
first championship-he won tn
southern grammar school champion
ship. In 1915, he won the hundred
in the Far-Western meet and from
then on, until he enrolled at South
ern California, he competed in higl
school meets with success.

Paddock says he credits his sue

follows.
Never permit yourself to so stale

Never overdo your work and a

Follow training rules rigldly.
