...holds every Polish middle-distance record from 800 to 10,000 metres and last summer beat Nurmi at Warsaw, letting him set the pace and then, as others have done, passing him in the last hundred metres. In London last July he tried to beat all the best Englishmen the same day ard nearly did it. Beavers beat him at four mile and Cyril ("The Great") Ellis at a mile, principally because proud Petkiewicz tried to keep ahead of all competitors throughout each race, wasting his strength by sprinting against runners who would be used up a little further...

As both ships were nearing completion this summer, dire were the prophecies that they were not airworthy, that they would crack up. So impoverished Englishmen, troubled by the spending of $10,000,000 on the ships and their accessories, were glum last week when the R-101 sailed from her Cardington hangar.
