Post Press Sports Editor

You might call it a sport oddity,
but a blond. fair haired giant who
plodded up the pathway to an old
New England farm house Friday.
vas dead serious about the whole
matters.
A dinner pail hung from his huge
hands. described by Tom Noonan
of the United Press. as ham-like
mitts. The tall farm lad pushed
open the door of the farm house,
entered a dimly lit kitchen and
said, Hello Mother to a stopped,
gray-haired woman who busted her
self with the evening meal.
The six-loOter was Edward Ted
Taylor. Holliston's one-man track
team. who has entered four events
in the national A.A.U. champion
ships ar New York Feb. 25.
He shifted his weight from one
foot to the other. a bit bewildered
by the sudden interest in some
thing he had been doing for about
u years now"
What did Ted think of his chan
ces in the "blue ribbon" track meet?
Il think III do pretty we'll at it, Sc
he said.
Did he think he could beat such
stars as Ben johnson and Herb
Thompson in the 60-meter dash?
I'll finish first or second" the
2I2-pound woodchopper replied.
Though he didn't know much
about fellows like John Borican,
Wesley Wallace and Jim Herbert
he knew he was going to do all
right" in the 800 and 1000-meter
runs.
1t developed that Taylor. who also
entered the l6-pound shot put and
was considering the IS pound
weight throwing event. never had
attempted either
I've watched the boys do it sew

won't have much trouble"
The 30-year-old novice. who was
born at Auburn, N. Y. started run
ming u years ago as Holliston
high school freshman but never
had time" to take part in formal
competition His only track work
has been confined to the road that
passes the Taylor farmhouse. He
has no trainer and never has been
timed.
II haven't done much training
lately" he said. Ny track shoes

hensively and smiled self-conSci-

settle down and make some money.
she said, Hes been trying to get
into that running for years but he
hasn't got the time"
Ted was too tired to give an eX-
hibition OF his proweSs but agreed
to put on his track suit for a couple
Of pictures. Back he came 10 the
room. wearing striped trunks and
z white crew jersey and apologizine
for his low tan shoes.
AS he crouched over an imaginary
starting mark. Mrs. Taylor asked;
Don't you think he's built for it?
We've been trying to hold him back
but I guess it's his destiny

It Is easy to see how the small
slam was made. with the loss of
nothing but one heart trick Other
pairs also made the six diamonds,
but did not get doubled because
South made cue-bid of the oppo-
nents' suit. This warned West that
his spade honors were probably
worthless to him and that he would
have to depend on his other cards,
which he was afraid to do in each
case.
On. yes. One East West pair went
to 6-SpadGS and got doubled. losing
six tricks and being set five for a
score of 900. really splendid sac
rifice. much cheaper than letting the
opponents get a vulnerable slam,
even if not doubled. That happened,
of course. at a table where the cue
bid was made. indicating that the
diamond contract probably could
not be defeated.

DETROIT, March 7. (UP)-The
Homer Martin faction of the United
Automobile workers, disavowing any
connection with the Congress OF

tablished an independent union.
The action was taken at con-

resenting a purported 100000 UAW
members. 1t officially completed
division OF the UAW into two
unions.
The convention, speaking for
UAW members who regard Martin
as the rightful president, adopted a
