Fast Mile Uncertain
Despite Fine Field
In Wanamaker
Stors Packing Mi||rose
Feature Tonight Apt to
Hold Back for Finish
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Since the
mile is a peculiar distance, there is
absolutely no guarantee that to-
nights running of the Wanamaker
mile will be fast race. The state
ment stands despite the fact Mill
rose A. A. officials have collected one
of the events best-balanced fields
for their 32nd annual carnival at
Madison Square Garden.
In it are three of the eleven men
who have bettered minutes 10 Sec
onds for the distance-Glenn Cum
bingham, who ran five of the seven
miles under 4:10 last year; Archie
San Romani and Chuck Fenske.
In it, also are Josef Mostert of Bel
GUM. second-best miller in Europe;
John Munski of Missouri, Cunning
hams choice to be his successor as
the worlds best. and Blaine and
Wayne Rideout, the twins from
North Texas State, who are good
anywhere from the 440 to 2 miles.
But no matter how good the field,
you can't have a fast mile without a
pace-setter. And since setting the
pace at this distance is suicidal
maneuver-the boys who have saved
their sprints usually 60 pouring by
you on the bell lap-and none of the
boys like to lose, there is little
chance of any one of the seven TAX
ing the lead at the start and piling
on the pressure all the way.
The Millrose 600 shapes up as the
fastest race. 1t has the smallest
field-four men. 1t has last weeks

eagle, who weighs less than 100
pounds, will be aided by the fact it

bert, who has come along slowly, is
reported to be in fine shape now and
may be ready to pick up where he
left off last season, when he won II
out of IA starts.
There are seven other invitation
events, including the 2-mile with Don
Lash, the two-thirds mile with John
Borican and Gene Venzke, the $50
with John Woodruff, the 60-yard
sprint and 60-yard hurdles, the high
jump and the pole vault. In addi-
ton there are IL relay races, with
the John G.. Anderson Memorial
Trophy to be awarded to the fastest
college mile foursome.

Pyle, 'Bunion Derby
Promoter in Eos,
Dies at Sc
Grange, LeneIen Brought
Into Pro Sports by
. Spectacular Figure
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. &C. C..
Cash and Carry Pyle, Sc, one of
the most spectacular promoters of
the so-called golden era of sports,
lay dead here today, a victim of
heart trouble.
The originator of the fantastic
"transcontinental Bunion Derby"
the man who lured Harold (ReO
Grange, Suzanne Lenglen, Mary K.
Browne and a host of other athletic
stars from amateur fields into pro-
fessional sports, died suddenly at his
home late yesterday.
Retired for a number of years
from the lurid sports picture he
helped paint during the late EOS,
Pyle had lived quietly as the more
or less prosaic president of radio
transcription company. Cerebral
thrombosis was the official cause of
death.
First Venture With Grange.
A native of the Midwest, Pyle first
hit the Nations headlines Is years
ago when he signed Grange to play
pro football. The two met when
Grange, University of Illinois grid
hero, visited Pyle's movie theater
near the campus. Together they
earned a reputed 100000 or more
during the "Galloping Ghosts"
post-college career.
Together they organized the
"Bunion Derby" Somewhere en-
route from Los Angeles to New York,
the tour became disorganized, but
finally staggered in with Andy Payne
of Oklahoma the winner.
1t wasn't long until Pyle startled
the tennis world by signing the late
Nine. Lenglen to pro tour with
Mary K. Browne. All hands made
sizeable profit.
Second "Bunion Derby" Costly.
In 1929, he undertook his second
"Bunion Derby" Before it reached
Los Angeles it had broken up, but
Pyle was harrassed with suits de-
handing payment prizes, food bills,
expenses and whatnot. The adver-
tised $4,000 prize money was
matched by some $4,000 worth of
litigation.
Pyle got back into the money with
an exhibit at the Chicago Century
of Progress Exposition, then came
here. His wife, Effie, divorced him
in 1896, and in 1887 he married a
radio Coincidence, Elvia Altman, who
was with him when he died,

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The leaders
of the East's two major basket bail
circuits return to action tonight after
their long midyear layoffs with
every prospect that they'll keep right
on winning.
Carnegie Tech, which has piled up
four straight victories in the Eastern
intercollegiate Conference, may have
some trouble with Pitts Panthers.
There's even a chance OF being
beaten, although the Tartans won
the first time they met, $3.50.
There's no possibility at all, however,
Of Carnegie's being ousted from the
lead. The only change that could
rake place in the standing would be
for Pitt to move up and tie the idle
Georgetown team for second place.
Dartmouth Is FavOrite.
Prospects in the Eastern Inter-
collegiate League are even less ex-
citing as Dartmouth, winner of three
IN a row, takes on Yale. The Indians
nave been inactive for two weeks
and they haven't played Yale yet
this season, but practically every one
else in sight has trimmed the Ellis.
The big question in this case is
whether Swede Broberg can score
enough points for Dartmouth to re-
gain the scoring lead from his
sophomore rival, Jim Bennett OF
Cornell.
West Virginia stepped into the
conference picture as a possibility
last night by beating Temple, 1888
champion, for the second time this
season. Trailing until late in the
second half, the Mountaineers won,
1874. At one time they tailed II
straight points and they staged an
other comeback on Sam MandichS
field goal after Temple regained the
lead at 34-33. The victory was their
second in four starts, giving them
a second-place tie with Pitt, which
has won one and lost one.
Hot Games Scheduled.
Tonight's program, the first big
Saturday in some time, brings to-
gether Penn State and Pennsylvania
IN an interloop contest and sends
West Virginia against st. Johns at
Brooklyn.
