Glenn Plans
Retirement
From Track

NEW YORK - Glenn Cunning
ham plans to retire from track
competition after this year, and
while that still is more than IL
months away, it is worthy of pres
emit recording because it refutes a
growing belief that Glenn Is an
other one boss shay:
THAT was built in such logical
way
"It ran a hundred years to a
day -. :"
As great as he has been, As
many races rs he has won,
and as many records as he has
broken, Glenn's legs have be-
gun TO tire and he realizes he
must quit soon 10 escape the
fate of Oliver Wendell Holmes
rugged vehicle:
ut went to pieces all at once,
"All at once, and nothing first,
Just as bubbles do when they
burst"
The greatest middle distance
runner America ever produced and
one of the worlds great athletes,
Cunningham told a nationwide
radio audience Sunday night that
its one OF those things that can't
be put off forever"
The Kansan said he had re-
manned in competition for the
last two years because he had
wanted 10 try TO make his
third successive Oily mpic
team.
Now conditions on the other
side have made the holding Of the
Olympic games impossible, 80 why
go on ?" he asked. For a long
time I've postponed my retirement
from active competition, but now
TO my friends and sports followers
everywhere, / say this will be my
last year of track competition"
MIAMI BEACH, Fla - Tennis
fans are fed up with watching
Don Bulge lick his professional CO.
horts and since there is no worth
while talent TO lure from the anna
teur ranks, there probably will be
no pro tennis troupes touring the
country this year.
With about $4,000 In the
bank and the dollars still roll
Ing in, the titisn-thatched MIR.
Bulge can look back on his
first year in the pro ranks and
attest that there IL more TO
the professional game than
welding a racquet for hard
ware and glory.
Il know cant make that much
every year" he said. My income
will take a sharp drop this year
and l expect it. Most Of thai
money came from my tours VIII

PLEADS HIS OWN
 CASE; ACQUITTED

When a man is his own lawyer, he has a fool for client" lawyers say, but he doesn't, always
 Clyde Gordon, motor truck driv- CT, acted as his own lawyer during his trial recently in the United States Commissioners Court at Fairbanks on a charge of disorder ly conduct.
 The disorderly conduct accusation was based on his alleged Blocking of the Richardson Highway at Big Delta, where the Alaska Road Com. mission has it's ferry across the Tanana River and where he re- fused for time while enroute from Valdez to Fairbanks to pay the toll levied for the hattiing of freight over the thoroughfare.
 Gordon won his case without go- ing on the witness stand himself. His defense was his vehicle did not block the highway He established the defense to the satisfaction of the trial jury by his examination of witnesses, chiefly for the prose cution.
 Testimony for the prosecution showed Gordon stopped his truck diagonally across the road in front of the place where tolls are paid. He refused to pay the toll, and did not do so until after he was arrested. Then his truck was fer ried across the river and he drove it to town. By the questioning of witnesses, Gordon brought out tes- timony tending to show two mo- tor vehicles passed around his truck while it was declared to be block ing the road.
 The jury returned its verdict of not guilty.
