William J. Bingham, Chairman of the Olympic Track and Field Committee, last night expressed the appreciation of the Committee to New England track and field fans for their generous contribution of $494.25 given in a collection taken up at the annual games of the Boston Athletic Association in Boston Saturday night.

As stupid as they are immense, sumo performers are content with a maximum pay of $100 a month augmented only by gifts of swords, bottles of sake, new aprons from generous admirers.

Author Peters writes at a loose canter, half businessman style, half hobbledygee, on the differences between English and U. S. hunting, kennel management, riding, cubbing, manners et al., helps fill his book by generous quotations, hunting songs, a nostalgic chapter on hunting with the Quorn, the Pytchley, other famed English hunts. With modest justice he calls his book "the random findings of an American business man who would that he could have been born a sportsman." Another sample of his seat on Pegasus: "Let us not forget that it makes a very great difference where...
