Fancy an old-time battler meeting you in a drug store! Benny There First 1 wanted to be on time. So I was there at 2:15. Benny had beaten me, however. He was at the rear of the small store, chatting laughingly with two young men like himself my Again and again, He seemed to know all. All seemed to know him, Glances of admiration came from those who did not know him person- ally. Even yours truly came +in for somé, which plainly said: Wonder who that is.

He ordered a turkey sandwich on rye bread, and a cup of coffee. A dill pickle came with it—but Benny didn't touch it. I wondered again. “Oh, no, there's- nothing about a cleaned me out—almost. news I wish they wouldn't oft." “Benny," I said, I don't want to pry into your personal affairs, but was that stuff in the papers some time ago right about you losing heavily in Wall street.” Lost His Money “Yes, it was,” he answered, "They But I have it all back and more.

While the fact that more favorable track conditions prevatled at the west- ern meet than at Franklin Field prob- ably influenced the ecaliber of rival performances, this fact could not dis- count the decisive superiority of the west, which hung up better marks in ten of the thirteen major events on which a comparison of the meets is based.
