Derby of 1888, in which almost
100 runners, young and old, started
out on transcontinental run from
Los Angeles to New York, with Pyle
riding comfortably alongside.
This first derby, billed as a S50. 900
attraction, with a $4,000 purse 60
ing to the winner, led to numerous
law suits, which reputedly cost Pyle
$4,000. However, friends of Pyle
maintain that of all his schemes,
the Bunion Derby was closest to his
heart, that he thoroughly enjoyed
the antics of his runners. A second
race was held in 1929, and the der
bies universally were voted the
strangest events in sports history.
Pyle was also the first to see the
possibilities in professional tennis.
On October 9, 1925, he presented
the late Suzanne Lenglen, Mary K.
Browne, Vincent Richards and other
stars in Madison Square garden as
his initial effort in this field of &C.
tivity. The gate receipts were an
nounced as $4,000.
Grange estimated that during the
three years-1925-' 90 '27-he was
managed by Pyle, the two attracted
81, 100000 at the gate, half of which
went to them. They split the profits,
which would place Oranges earn
ings under Pyle at $3.50, 600.
In 1928 Grange and Pyle formed
the American Professional Football
league. It was formed after the
National league had refused to
grant the pair permission to spon-
sor another club in New York. It
was failure, however, as the
league never really got underway.
Both men lost considerable money
on the venture.
Pyle, with the addition of a little
business sense, would have easily
been the equal Of Tex Richard as a
promoter.

Hitler Wins a Kampf
(New York Times


 Maybe Herr Hitler too busy Monday evening to know or care that the Supreme Court of the United States had handed down a ruling which upheld his rights as an author Such however, is the case The court sustained the action of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals joining unauthorized publication of "A1ein Kampf" in this country. Hence Herr Hitler will get royalties from his American sales if and when such royalties accrue and if and when they can be transmitted to him. s
 He will get royalties, for instance, on the state ment that the regents of present-day Russia com mon blood-stained criminals; that here is the scum of humanity which favored by conditions in tragic hour, overran a great state, butchered and rooted out millions of leading ntellects with savage blood thirsness and for nearly ten years has exercised the frghtful regime of tyranny of all time He will get royalties for the we-reasoned argument that if Germany entered military alliance with Russia she could not get Russia the slightest effective support" The quotations from Reynal & Hitch cocks authorized edition, published by arrangement with the copyright holders, the Houghton Mifflin Company.
 The issue is not however whether or not Herr Hitler gets his royalties The issue is the larger of the rights of foreign authors in the American book market and of Americans in foreign book markets. International copyright is the foundation stone of the worldwide republic of letters The ideas for which it stands will do Hitler more harm than all the groceries he could buy with his royalteprovided the British Navy would let him tote them home will do him good

 In the last flew days before his execution, the prisoner became the object of much fearful pleading on the part of persons who knew nothing about the case and who had not troubled themselves about the poor until too late to do him society any service by their efforts.
 On the other hand there has been altogether too much loose talk about what a fine example this would be to the Natives of Alaska. Our Native citizens more in need of such example than many white The crime of Nelson Charles not one peculiar to his There is not in the entire case a single element of racial significance, outside of that injected into it be- latedly by thoughtless and misguided persons both Indian and white.

Rome's Dilemma
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The official explanation of Mussolini's shake-up d the Italian cabinet and army commands is that he changes for the better protection of neu- rality' However, the fact that several of the min sters and soldiers who are denoted known as To-German sympathizers, supports previous indica- ions of Italian coolneSs toward its axis partner.
 It has long been obvious that Italy dislikes the German Russian alignment The inevitable result f that strange partnership. Rome sees it., is a eduction of Italian influence in the Balkans. And here remains Of course the fundamental truth that he long range interests of Italy and Germany are contradictory.
 cynical explanation of the Rome shake-up would be that Il Duce, still sulking the fact hat Partner Adolf stole his stuff and went to town with it. is simply casting about for way 1f getting the worlds attention again. The cabinet revision may be merely a form of busy work" for the Italian dictator
 It is significant that the changes do not dis place Count Cano as Foreign Minister Cano once enthusiastic for strong Italian support of the axis has apparently lost much of his ardor for Germany There is some evidence that Ciano has told his chief that Italy is backing the wrong horse and that she might get out of the present tangled situation by friender attitude toward the allies The new German envoy to London Giuseppe Bas- tiani is a close friend of Cianos
 Italy may be expected to continue to go through the form of supporting and applauding Germany but Roman support is not likely to go beyond that
