...crack of the gun Frank Wykoff, whom Charlie ("World's Fastest Human") Paddock picked as winner, was first out of his holes. He led at 20, 30, 40 yards. Bracey drew alongside him. They were even at 50 yards. Bracey went ahead, far ahead, led at 60, 70, 80. Russell Sweet drew even at 90, was a foot ahead at 95. Then out of nowhere appeared what looked like a little black ball.
