And Roger isn’t the only one. There must be literally millions of red-blooded Americans and Brit- ons, both, who are wondering that happened, and why, after the latest miracle runner landed here a couple of mornings ago thinking he was going to appear on a num- ber of television programs. The average, lightly formed im- pression probably is that Bannister was warned off the project, which was purely a patriotic one on his part, because it might endanger his amateur standing and render him ‘ineligible to run in the 1956 Olympics at Melbourne. It is true that our own amateur athletic officials, being extremely conscientious about such matters, did slip the word to their opposite numbers in Britain that it was against the rules for Bannister to appear on a program which was commercially sponsored—with cer- tain reservations. It also is true that our British cousins took the jhint and advised their flying object to watch himself. But that’s about Armed Forces Day Regatta Slated Sunday The Key West Outboard Club is holding its annual Armed Forces Day Regatta Sunday afternoon in Garrison Bite. There will be a drivers meeting at 1:00 o’clock and ‘the first heat of the “B” Florida Family will start at 1:20. Following this race we will have the D1 Runabouts, then the B Stock Hydros.

The plain, undisputed fact is that number of American track stars— at least one of them a winner in the last Olympics—have shown their smiling faces on various commercial programs in recent years. Why, then, did everyone con- nected with the “‘secret” trip swoon dead away upon receipt of word from the AAU that this country, unlike Britain, had commercial television? It is a real puzzler, but an executive of the company which was to have transmitted the Ban- nister show thinks he has a clue. “Since Bannister ran his 3:59.4 mile,” he said, “he has been ex- tended official invitations to com- pete in at least three track meets in this country. He turned them all down, saying that his medical studies made it impossible. Then all of a sudden he turns up here, not to run, but to appear on a TV show. I don’t imagine that pleased our officials very much.” The man’s dark suspicions pos- sibly are not justified, but at least no One has yet come up with a better explanation. In justice to the AAU, that body insists it merely was being helpful. Annual X-rays For Lung Cancer Asked For Kids A resolution calling for the State Board of Health to give yearly X-ray examinations to all school children to detect lung cancer has been passed by Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28, American Legion, it was announced today.

The Baron calmly reached into the box, stuck a foot on the spring to prevent it from catching and pulled out the bananas. In desperation, the attendants de- cided to lure the Baron out by using Christina, a female gorilla, as bait and bringing her to the Baron’s cage. . A. Moore, 54, told Judge A. L. Luebbers: “I’ve never done anything like this before in my life. Judge, I was drinking and listening to the baseball game. When Hofman hit vthat home run in the ninth and the Giants beat the Reds, I really started drinking.

Says Adcock, the pride of Cous- hatta, La.: “It’s my stance. I a- dopted it late last season and hit safely in my last 11 games. It’s-a wide one. I've moved back deeper in the batter’s box. I find that now ‘| instead of a single, Roberts’ game JOE ADCOCK T can pull a ball better to left. If they pitch me outside I can hit harder to right.” Last year Joe batted .285 and batted in 80 runs. But he always will remember his 1953 record home run in the Polo Grounds. The drive traveled 475 feet into the left centerfield bleachers. It was the first homer ever hit in that sector in a regular-season game. Welfare Board For Monroe, Dade Names Officers Thomas B.
