...really not until this year, however, that Scheu finally rounded into form and came through with some of the most spectacular races of the season. In the G.B.I. meet he came from behind to take the race easily, but in the Yale meet the finish was even more brilliant. Only in the home stretch did he manage to nose out Turley of the Blue...
...easily be provoked to laughter by such an action, some of the general's brother officers on the General Staff begged him to drop his complaints. But he and his lawyers were adamant.

Colonel Hammond stayed in the Army, serving in most of the important South American legations, later becoming identified with oil, railroads & banking. The promoter got into the prizefight business and made the name of Tex Rickard one of the most spectacular in a spectacular era. Colonel Hammond in 1923 helped Rickard raise the $7,000,000 necessary to move Madison Square Garden away from Madison Square and house it 25 blocks uptown in an arena the like of which had never been seen before. Rickard died when the era died...
