...Hammond has had to pay his way like any one else when he went to the Garden to see a rodeo, prizefight, bicycle race, dog show, circus, wrestling match, horse show, dance marathon or hockey game. That was a disagreeable novelty for the oldtime West Point and Olympic (1904) sprinter. Years before, when he was U. S. military attache in Bolivia, he had run into a shrewd promoter looking for speculative cattle lands. Then and there they became fast friends. Colonel Hammond stayed in the Army, serving in most of the important South American legations, later becoming identified with...
...Exeter Street in Boston. A light wind fanned into their faces. Old Clarence De Mar, Keene (N. H.) school teacher, who has won the Boston Marathon seven times, waved to his friends at South Framingham. At Natick, a New York runner named William Steiner, who stepped along like a sprinter, was 200 yd. ahead. Up the long slope toward Wellesley College, Steiner slowed down and John Kelley of Arlington, Mass, and a pale, unhappy-looking Finn named Dave Komonen soon caught him.

Turf folk at the Laurel, Md. track one day last week crowded into the paddock of a big, handsome bay stallion, nearly 17 hands high, with a high-poised head and well-spaced eyes-Winooka, fastest sprinter of Australasia.

Of those races the greatest was the Doncaster Handicap in which he broke the late famed Phar Lap's Australasian record for the mile. Carrying 139 lb., Winooka...
...Garrison '37 captured the Century from Edwin E. Calvin '35, sprinter on last year's Varsity. The time was 9 4-5 seconds, which is somewhat discounted by the handicap of the winner. In the longer distance races John E. Rogerson '34 gathered the laurels in the 300-yard run, while Gerald P. Rosen 1L won the 880-yard run by a hairline from Howard S. Derrickson '35, providing the one close stirring race of the afternoon...
