Los ANGELES, April 25.-After
all his weary heart-breaking gallop
through the desert sands, up rocky
sleeps, through towering canyons and
across snow-eovered prairies, Eddie
(Sheik) Gardner may lose even a
place in the big Pyle cross-eountry
marathon. If he fails to show in the
money at the tape in Madison Square
Garden, New York, it will not be his
fault, but a case of too much med
ding. say the experts in Pyle's en-
tourage. This was discussed by them
even before the ESQ runners had fin
ished their training for the big jaunt
begun March 4 at Los Angeles.
In an interview with Bill Pickens,
Pyle's right bower and the man who
suggested the race to Pyle, he said (:
"Well, like this boy Gardner from
Seattle, but it is this fellow Phillip
Granville from Jamaica who has the
best chance of all and will bear
watching. Ed is the more powerful
of the two, perfect wind and youth
and all that's necessary, but it looks
to me as if he has too many advis-
ors hung on him.
"Too many cooks spoil the broth,
you know, and, after all, l don't be-
lieve any of them know nearly as
much what to do for him as he knows
himself if let alone. But Granville
is not impeded by any would-be adj
visors telling him how to do this or
don't do that, so he will run his own
race"
The opinion voiced by Pickens has
been seconded by others of the doc
tors, attendants and timers in the
Pyle outfit, even Pyle himself.

room owner. The other is George
Curtis, Seattle man, the two of
them driving car loaded with ac-
coutrements necessary and unneees-
sary, such as medicines, food con-
coctions, stimulants, etc. Neither of
the men are former athletes or train
ers of athletes. hence at times their
liberal advice proves to be harmful.
i, Another hacker has remained at
Los Angeles, but the two accompany
ing Gardner wire Los Angeles in a
quandary for more advice and on
two occasions the Los Angeles back
er has driven from this city to catch
up with the runners q; Victorville,
Cal, and Winston, Ariz., in order to
help make reparations for harm done
by the oversupply of coaching. But
for this, it is said, Gardner would
have held the lead in elapsed time all
the way instead of running sixth or
seventh. 4.
Ed was so anxious to get in the
race that he offered to give up any
part of his money won to do so. He
only had SITS in the world before
leaving Seattle. 1t required 500 as
a deposit for entrance and $25 more
as entrance fee. His wife insisted
that he take the 500 while she kept
the $75 and assured him she would
work and get along until he finished
the race. So he came on to. Los An
geles with the 500 and it was be-
cause of his need for the balance
that the contracts were signed that,
after all, may cause him to lose.
