...fast buck. His first job with a Harlem milkman paid 25? a week. Later, as a teen-ager with plenty of savvy, big-city cunning and a marked talent for crap-shooting, Willie managed to do a little better-though he did spend a year in the reformatory for assault. But it wasn't until he took to betting that Willie really hit his stride...

Noor's drive set a track record of 1:59 4/5 for the mile and a quarter...
