...British team-the one-mile medley relay, for little Eddie Genung would never have a chance in the last lap against big Tom Hampson. With this and the javelin-throw the British Empire might get a tie. The runners got set for the medley. Pete Bowen, best of U. S. quarter-milers, gained a slight advantage over Alex Wilson of Canada. He fumbled giving the baton to Eddie Tolan and ten yards were lost. But then George Simpson, Ohio State's "Buckeye Bullet," cut five yards off the lead and little Genung started after Hampson. He caught...
There were contestants who made this guess at a line-up uncertain. Little George H. ("Pete") Bostwick, famed gentleman jockey, had shown up well at No. 1 in the early tests. He is so small he cannot hit the ball far, but No. 1 does not need to hit far-his job is to take a long pass and run it in with an accurate short one. Bostwick, wonderful in the saddle, hits very straight. Elmer Boeseke of California might get on at No. 2 because he works so well with his fellow-Californian, Pedley. Pedley was playing the flashiest...
...Hitchcock grandson), Devereux Milburn Jr., Jack Milburn, David Dows Jr., Jimmy Curtis, Marshall Field Jr., Coolidge Chapin, Charlie von Stade, Jack Windmill, Nelson Brown, Scott Truesdale and the Gerry twins. On the international squad itself are six onetime Meadow Larks: J. C. Rathborne, Stewart Iglehart, J. P. Mills, Pete Bostwick, Winston Guest, Earle Hopping.

A Maltese cat, with a harelip, whistled "Yankee Doodle." A cold cow gave ice cream. Jim. Pete and Dick, trout, were fed New-Year's dinner with a silver spoon. Copycat Mortison. Early this year it seemed Winsted's animals might be spreading when from Waterbury, Conn, were reported some chicks which had hatched out in fur instead of feathers. Investigation proved this...
...Tiny George H. ("Pete") Bostwick fell the accolade-increase of his handicap from four goals to six. Weighing less than 118 lb., famed as a steeplechaser, Bostwick never took polo seriously until last year. He advanced quickly in a few months from a handicap of one goal to four. His name was not on the list of players receiving invitations to join the International squad but he made so many goals in the 3rd Westbury challenge cup matches that he was drafted belatedly. If he keeps on improving he has a good chance of being International...
