 NEW YORK TODAY
Bunioneers Scheduled to Finish
 Long Jaunt This Afternoon

IaSSalc, \. J.. May lb (UP)-New Works proud skyline took on the ap- pearance of a dollar sign today so far as one small group of sun Drowned, bewhiskered and wearicd men was concerned. The same proud skyline. reaching up across the river from the Jersey shore was wound around in a way that it spelled rest for 8 complete group of 55 men, including the group that saw the dollar sign stick ing out of the towering skyscrapers. For C. C. Pyle's transcontinental derby was just about at an end. This afternoon 55 runners will jog over 10 Weehawken. ferry across to New York, pace up 10 Madison Square | Garden and there end mure than 1 5000 mile trip. Many are going to finish just for the elory's sake and to help C. C. | Pyle make great show in New York. But young curly haired Andy Payne. John Salo and few others are going to run into Madison Sguarc Garden to claim S4S,ooo that | Pyle promised He has treasured them they will receive the money and the runners were confident this morning.
 rho runners need not worry about their money Pyle said. There have been only few griev- ances and they didn't mean much. One complainer was a chap who iS in 47th place and wouldn't lose even | if the money wasn't aSailable.' And that cheered those who will take part in the money part of this transcontinental iaunt. 1 Pyle is planning rip-roaring old time in New York tonight.
 "I could have packed Yankee stadium" he mentioned. just to indi cate how New York is going 10 take to this big windnp.
 This morning he moved his freaks the sideshow he carried along as a counter attraction to the long dis tance runncrs-into New York so they could be set up at Madison Square Garden. Mud spattcred train- ing cars were sent over so the Gar den crowd could look at them. When the runners arrive this evening, probably about S;3o D. n.. he will show them to the crowd individual Iy and then send each one off on 200 lap sprint.
 Of course Pyle already is looking ahead.
 "Andy Payne is good for S1oo,eoo i,P0klahoma fairs, was one ot his comments.
 John Salo can make good money
 exhibiting his running pro"ess,
 Pyle said.
 Incidentally all of the runners arc under contract to let the dapper Dr. bana, Ill.,, promoter manage thelr
 affairs as soon as this race is over.
 Yesterday John Salo led the pack
 in their run from Suffern, N. Y. It SO happened that Passaic was Salo's
 home town and the crowd turned
 out in great numbers Ho"cNer.
 winning the heat merely clnched
 second place for Salo because Andy
 Payne holds a 16 hours. 17 minutes
 and 30 seconds lead and only a
 broken leg or utter collapse can
 beat the Claremore Okla, youth out
