Hergstrom, full of confidence after | Chicago his recent victory, wishes to make it plain that he is a better foot racer than Pete ever thought of being and for that reason he has given the former Greek champion all sorts of concessions. The time or date for the next race has been left entiretly to the discre- tion of Perakos. All Pete has to do s to give Hergstrom 24 hours’ notice and the race will be run off. In ad- dition to this, Hergstrom will give Pete a handicap of 20 yards, each yard to measure 36 inches. To make the affair official. men have picked managers and a stake (steak) has been set on the race. Dave Dunn will handle the Greek champion while Howard Stearns will pilot the Terrible Bwede.
