Pacemaker Too Slow.

HERE'S what he had to say before
the Princeton race: Here are the
figures. I expect to run the first half
in about 2:03. which is about right
for me, and then If some one leads me
home in the second $50 he might have
to do 2:02.
AT least feel that I may be able
to do 2:02 for the second half" he
added.
That's a 4:05 mile. Archie" pro-
tested. but he answered: Yes. but
really I'm not concerned with the
time. would just like to win"
It seems the Princeton management
had arranged to have Glen Dawson,
from Oklahoma. set the Face for the
first $50 to insure a pace sufficient
for a new mile record. Lovelock was
the supposed record-smasher. He had
bettered the l.500-meter world record
at Berlin and was making his last
public appearance before retiring
from track competition.
In addition to Cunningham, Don
Lash. the Indiana collegian who had
made a new Emile world record on
the same track only four months
previously, was also in the race.
The gun cracked and the worlds
four best milers were on their way,
led by Dawson, delegated to do the
donkey work" OF setting the pace
for the first $50.
As is usual with pace settlers having
no incentive. Dawson failed to make
the pace promised and was seconds
slower than the stipulated 2:02 for the
first half,

TINE march Of time and furries
of opponents punches do not
| change the really clever fight
a ers a great deal. You thought
of this fact last night when you
roamed into the dressing room at the
Arena and found Freddie Miller
reading a newspaper.
On all sides preliminary boys were
spreading oil on their bodies and
shadow boxing, but Freddie kept
reading. with a sour sort of look on
his face, and it reminded you of the
Portner's four years ago. He was
he was reading a newspaper.
You recall that he tossed
aside the sports pages without
perfunctory glance and
turned to the dramatic section.
He did the same thing last night.
There was not much difference in his
looks. either. His eyes. maybe,
showed added signs of sewing here
and there, but otherwise he was, out
wardly, the same Miller. Colorless,
you thought, when you first saw him.
Maybe now
But no. He answered q few ran
dom questions in monosyllables. FL
nally he got up. There's draft in

the window. No wonder Freddie
never had much box-office appeal.
But that was his business, you
guessed.

Chance for Record Ruined.

THIS, Of course, ruined any chance
for a record-breaking mile and
Lovelock forged to the front, followed
closely by Cunningham and San
Romani.
Archie jumped into the lead just
before the last lap began. In the mid
die of the backstretch he was chal-
lenged by Lovelock. San Romani took
a quick look at his opponent. then
breezed away from the New zealander,
to win by II yards in 400.
The winner ran his last $50 in 2:e2.
as he had promised.
I feel that Archie Is Americas best
miller; in fact. the best in the world
today. He is about feet 10 inches.
but doesn't scale more than 135
pounds.
He finished fourth in the Berlin
Olympic games 1900 meters, won by
Govelock, who came from second
position to run his last 400 meters In
573 seconds.
San Romani. last entering the last
lap, finished good fourth-indicating
that his time for the last quarter on
this occasion was even better than
that of Lovelock.
Inexperience lost for Archie then.
but now he should never be beaten.

fired her off the Olympic team
for taking a drink of cham
payne.
If nothing else, you decided. it was
good politics on the part Of Eleanor.
She still wants to be an amateur
swimmer and to be restored into the
good graces of the A. A. L. What
she did yesterday certainly wouldn't
hurt her chances.
They Never Get Enough.
THREADING your way around the
Arena again you found a man
going crazy in a corner. Upon in
vestigation it was found he was
Goldie Ahearn, the matchmaker. He
goes nuts every IS minutes, they say.
"Oi," walled Goldie. "the commission
won't pass on the physical condition

From studied goodness to honest
philosophy it went when Joe Temes
walked out Of the ring after his bout
with Freddie Miller. Maybe Clark
Griffith doesn't know it but Temes
is the best catcher in town. His nose
resembled something that was thrown
on his face from afar. His left ear
was bulging and blood trickled from
his mouth.
In the dressing room Joe
grinned when somebody said.

willya, Freddie?" he asked Of
Miller.
He ought to be in a hospital, you
thought, but Cowboy Howard Scott
passed by and Temes shouted: when
va gonna start working out again
Howard" and when Scott said, to
morrow" the battered warrier an
swered, "I1l help train va. startin'

More beatings. Don't they ever get
