...Delany runs, the spike-scarred boards of Madison Square Garden's track curl out eleven uneventful laps to the mile. Other athletes strain to feel the thin snap of the finish tape; Delany beats them to it with deceptive ease. In the mile run at the Knights of Columbus games last week, the pale, frail-looking Irishman loafed through the first 8½ laps as if lazing along the banks of the Liffey back home. He stayed an easy third; suddenly, almost imperceptibly, he moved to second, then, with a lap and a half...

William Rock. 52, and William Ewald, 34-for $20,000 and $12,000, respectively. By the time he had gathered the eleven members of his staff, the state appropriation of $127,500 had already been spent. Rockefeller asked a newly formed Arkansas Industrialization Panel of 100 men to kick in $100 each, started things rolling with a $5,000 contribution. Then he and the panel took to the hills to convince...
