While making no direct prediction.


I think the old master OF Natick
believes that Bill Bonthron will out
step Glenn Cunningham in the 500
meter run. If both are right, this
fifth test should be closer than the
two slices of bread that make up q
sandwich.
In my opinion" Fitzpatrick said
I'VE make a mistake in running
meters. Yard and miles belong to our
track traditions. Few know just what
a meter is. More than so per cent
change from old-fashioned distances,
which every one understood.
Both Bonthron and Cunningham
are great milers" Keene said. Both
have heart and stamina-both
know pace thoroughly-both have the
speed and kick needed for the stretch.
And don't forget that Eastman and
Hornbostel are two of the greatest
half-milers that ever lived"
A dark, young cyclone by the name
of Ralph Metcslfe also will do some
running before this meet is over. The
Marquette meteor can move along
when he is crowded. 1t took chunk
of black dynamite to stop him in the
Olympic sprints, and even then it
was closer than a whisker.
What Is a Snowman?
YUST what" asks a correspondent,
"is a Snowman. anyway? To me
an athlete is an athlete, but a
Snowman belongs in the circus or on
the stage"
Look back. for one answer. upon a
pretty fair Snowman by the name Of
Babe Ruth.
The Babe had travelled 81 times
to the plate WITHOUT making hit.
He comes up with the bases full and
two out. The Panville chorus quickly
starts calling: Three out-three
olJt!"
