|BUNI0NEERS PASS | HALF WAY POINT
C. C. Pyle AppslE About to Get
 "Brolk" On Event

New York, May 10 N-Well. the celebrated bunion derby has covered some 1.s00 miles, more than half the trek from New York to Los Angeles. The answer to this may be to yawn and inquire: What of it?" On the other hand, 1t may also be worth noting that MT. z. c. Pyle. in his second transconti- mental journey. seems about to get break"
 The race may not be bigger and better in all the respects that MT. Pyle anticipated. He has had his troubles and attachments. But, the 1929 grind is faster and closer than last years contest. What is more important from the promoters view point, it gives promise Of profit. where year ago the enterprising ng gentleman from Wheaton. Ill.,, found himself something like &100,OO0 'in the red" when he reached New York.
 From Mir. Pyle, at Sherman. Tex as, comes this word by request:
 Financially am $75.O0O better off now than I was at this stage last year, and if things continue as they have since we crossed the Missis- sippi river,I can expect to make a reasonable profit on the venture"
 Evidently the eastern half of the country takes it's bunion derbies sis they come and without much en- thusiasm, by comparison with the wide open spaces. But is Promoter Pyle discouraged? Not while he still can breathe this defiance:
 q am still convinced that trans continental footracing has a great future and I intend to make the bunion derby an annual event, de- spite all the writs of attachment that were ever issued"
 What of the race itself which, when stripped of all it's circus stun. nevertheless takes on the aspect Of one of the most remarkable Of athletic contests?
 Everything considered, thus years race is far greater and more interesting than last years" advises Mir. Pyle. At the end of 1,Soo miles, just two hours separate the leaders. The pace has averaged a quarter of mile an hour faster than last year and all survivors are real runners
 Tt is my impression it will be the closest contest for such a long distance race in the history of foot racing. Right now the winner can be any one of three men-Pete Gavuzzi. John Salo or Giusto Cmek' but a bad break can eliminate any one or all and give the tail-enders a chance"
 It is worth noting here that be- fore the cross-country caravan lef' Columbus Circle. New York. on March 30. MT. Pyle personally pick ed Gavuzzi, the bearded Angloltai- ian as the probable winner. So far this prediction has been justified hy the way Gavuzzi has maintained a close but nevertheless useful lead over the Passaic policeman, John Salo.

such action by the reserve bank is
