RED GRANGE
WELCOMED BY
HOME SHERIFF
Has Piece Of Paper for Mr..
Pyle; Cash Being Absent,
Red Substitutes

Springfield. Ill.,, May 1.--tP-
Among those who waited to well
come Charley Pyle's transcontinen-
tai leggers last night was deputy
sheriff Of Sangamon county. He
had a piece Of paper for Mr.. Pyle.
It was headed writ of Attach
ment" and was in favor Of the Him
OILS Trust and Savings Bank of
Champaign, now in the hands of a
receiver.
Unfortunately for the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank, Mr.. Pyle,
who is promoter and not runner,
did not arrive.
There was, however, Harold
(Red) Grange who plays football
under the management of Pyle, acts
in the cinema and who has become
one of the country's best known ex-
icemen. The deputy was disappoint-
ed at not finding Pyle, but glad to
see Grange for whom he also had a
writ of attachment in favor of the
Champaign bank.
The writs were explained as ef-
forts to collect on note by Pyle
for $20,278 and one by Grange for
$21,502. The notes, bank officers
said, were given without security.
The deputy advised Grange that
personal property could be attached
when the writs were served. Grange
told him he did not own any of the
equipment used in connection with
the derby.

and beaten two Of them in this

The greatest band Of nilers
America ever mustered was shipped
to the 1912 Olympic, but they were
out run and outgeneraled by the
young English collegian, Arnold n.
S. Jackson. There was no flax, to
Jackson's victory, for he shattered
the Olympic record by nearly seven
seconds, but before the race he had
been conceded little more than an
outside chance against such Amer
lean aces as Abel kiviat. Norman
Taber, John Paul Jones, Mel Shep-
pard and others. Seven Of the four
teen finalists were Americans, and
three of them, kiviat, Tabor and
Jones, appeared to have the race
to themselves until Jackson, to
quote the official story. "came on,
passed the pumped out L. S. A. men
with gigantic strides ard broke the
worsted three meters in front Of
Kiviat, who suffered complete
surprise
Some years later, jackson, now
a resident Of America, told this
writer he thought the Americans
had killed their chances by too much
early sprinting.
Four years ago Nurm. Won the
1900 on the same afternoon he cap
tured the 5000-meter race, shatter-
ing the Olympic records in each.
1t was a romp for the great Finn
after he had shaken off the Amer
lean, Ray Watson. For two-thirds
of the distance, Watson stuck to
Paavo like shadow, as he had
been instructed to do. 1t was dra-
matte as far as it went, but Watson
finally faltered, 300 meter. from
the finish, so badly spent that he
was unable to finish among the first
six.
