Arrangements for the safety mo-

PYLE MAKING
MONEY ON RACE
Derby Faster and Attract
ing Better Crowds Than
Last Years
By ALAN j. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK. May 10.-tF-The
celebrated bunion derby has cover
ed some 1900 miles. more than
half the trek from New York to
Los Angeles. The answer to this
may be to inquire, what Of ID? On
the other hand. it may also be
worth noting that Mr.. G. G. Pyle,
in his second transcontinental
journey. seems about to get a
break"
The zee may not be bigger and
better In all the respects that Mr..
Pyle expected. 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
viewpoint. II gives promise Of pro-
fit. where a year ago the enter
prising gentleman from Wheaton.
Ill. found himself something like
100000 lin the red" when he
reached New York.
From MIR. Pyle. at Sherman.
Tex. comes this word BY request:
Financially I am SIS. 900 better
off now than I was at this stage
last year ard if things continue
as they have since we crossed the
Mississippi river I can expect to
make a reasonable profit on the
venture"
Evidently the eastern half Of the
country takes its bunion derbies as
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:
III am still convinced that trans
continual f%ootracing has a great
future and I intend TO make the
bunion derby an annual event. de-
snite all the writS Of attachment
that were ever issued"
What Of the race itself which.
When stripped OF all It's circus Stulf.
nevertheless takes on the aspect Of
ore or the most remarkable Of ath-
letic contests?
Everything considered. this
years race Is far greater and more
interesting than last years" adj
visad Mr.. Pyle. AT the end Of
1900 miles. lust tTo hours sep
arate the leaders. The pace has
averaged 2 quarter Of a mile an
hour faster than last year and
all survivors are real runners.
IT Is my impression II will be
the closest contest for such a long
distance race in the history Of foot
racing. Right now the winner can
be any OF three men-Pete Ga
vuzzi. John Salo or Giusto Umek
but a baG break can eliminate any
one or all and give the tail-enderS
a chance"
