In the next reund Carpentler, though leading brilliantly, plainly got the worst of the infighting and went to his cornér stooped over and ob- viously without hope. During all this neither of the fight- ers said a word to each other. They realized that neither could under- stand the other.

N EW YORK, February 18—With the briei expression of the hope that the skein of troubles in which officials of the A. A. U. and himself ‘have been entangled may soon be unwound, Charles Pad- dock of California, sprint marvel, whose deeds on western tracks less than three years ago made him an international figure in the world of sports, last night definitely cast his turban into the ring as a candidate for Olympic honors and capped it with a defiance which augurs for one of the hottest rivalries ever waged on the cinder paths. . For Paddock, albeit gently and considerately, refuses to be placed in the discard, as the oft-quoted statements of his fleetest rivals of the east would. He will start for the west coast March 1, enter several meets there and round into shape which will permit him to meet the fastest men the country can produce in the Harvard Stadium try-outs in June, and then compete with Eric Liddeil of Scotland, and any other candidates from other nations who are ready to dispute hi sprinter. Only Saturday night, after leadin, Bob McAllister, former “fiying cop, to the tape in a 100-yard dash. which equaled the world indoor rec- ord of 10 seconds flat, Loren Murchi- son of the Newark A. unanimously considered the fastest man on east- ern tracks, named McAllister and Louis Clark of Johns Hopkins as his chlef rivals for Olympic honors in the short dashes, dismizsing Pad- dock’s name with the remark: ‘A_real rival, perhaps, In the 200 meters. But I don't believe he can make the grade in the 100 meters.” » P'addock las night had a ready answer, and it was one which will make the real sport fan walt eugerly for word from every meet in which the fleet pair are entered from this time on. It was: To Concentrate on the “100.” “I shall alm for the 100 meters at the Harvard Stadlum and at Paris. Every athlete to do his best must set himself for a certain race.
