PIGEONS SET MARK
IN DISTANCE RACE
~ Average IS Miles an Hour in
Event Which Is Captured
by Rupert Entry.

Despite unfavorable weather condi-
tions, the fastest 500-mile pigeon race
ever flown in the District-if not of
the entire South-was recorded last
Sunday, when the first IL birds to
finish in the National Capital Racing
Pigeon Concourse's old-bird flight
from Cleveland. Tenn, averaged near
ly S. miles per hour.
Although the birds had to fly
through intermittent rains, Carl
(Buck) Sterzer's Standard Brand
averaged 1.627.80 yards per minute
to win. When it is realized that
1,20e yards per minute-or 40 miles
per hour-is considered good speed
for pigeon, the speed of the winner
il appreciated.
Secondary only to the remarkable
time was the close race staged by
william Ruppert's first bird, which
averaged only half a yard a minute
slower time than Sterzer's.
Following is the average speed in
yards per minute of the first return
to each loft, the first 10 being diploma
