’EY A “WANT” AD. IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS.
COUNTRY LAD WINS
* FAME AS SPRINTE1
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—An obscur
little town of Marysville, Mo.,the hom
of one of Missouri’s many norma
schools, gave Robert Simpson^ whi
broke the senior record in the Ama
teur Athletic union’s recent meet a
Newark, N. J., his start to fame.
Simpson, by the way, is one of th<
few western athletes who have live<
up to a reputation established in th(
i west. It is an unfortunate fact tha
; athletes from the west are prone t<
“blow” when they go to the big east
ern meets and, as a consequence
their claims ordinarily are not taker
very seriously. Simpson, however
proved beyond any doubt that he is
the real thing' when he went over the
120-yard high hurdles at Newark ir
14 4-5 seconds, a new world’s recort
unless A. A. U. officials allow a pre
vious mark of 14 3-5 seconds made
by Simpson. It was four years age
last spring that Simpson’s name was
printed on the official program of the
northwest Missouri high school meet
at Marysville as the only entrant
from Bosworth high school. The lan
ky country boy was entered in everj
event save the hurdles. Neither he
nor his trainer thought much oi
Simpson as a hurdler.
Simpson started with the 100-yard
dash and he finished second. Then
he went into the 220 dash and finish
ed second. In the half mile and the
quarter he finished first and second,
respectively. He broke the record
for the shot-put, the discus throw and
the broad jump and finished a good
second in the pole vault.
When Simpson got to the hop, step
and jump he was a little bit tired,
but he managed to crack another rec
ord .
Simpson’s wonderful feats gained
for his school, Bosworth high, sec
ond place in the meet, almost beat
ing out the school which had taken
first place in every meet since the
games had been contested at Marys
ville.
Missouri university athletic -uthor
ities heard of him and at once gob
bled him up. He was not heard from,
except ia a prophetic way, until after
he had spent a year at Missouri, for
the Missouri valley conference rules,
like most conference rules, prohibit
freshmen taking part in athletic
events.
The following year, however, Simp
son blossomed out as a hurdler and
he has been busy winning events of
this sort ever since.
[ENTENTE FORCES OCCUPY
f! - t MANY GREEK ARSENALS
ATHENS, Greece—Detachments of
entente forces have occupied the arse
nal and the island of Leros which con
tain naval ammunition depots. The
Athens government has addressed a
remarkably vague protest to Germany
regarding the torpedoing of Greek
steamers, no reference being made to
the fact that the Angeliki and Kiki
Issaia were torpedoed just outside
Piraeus.
A deputation of the Piraeus Sea
men’s corporation presented an ulti
matum to the premier on Monday, de
manding immediate payment of in
demnities to victims of the Angeliki
and Kiki Issaia and requesting infor
mation as to the government meas
ures for protecting Greek merchant
men against submarines. The deputa
tion announced that if a definite reply
was not forthcoming by Wednesday
fresh steps would be taken.
M. Kalimassoti, whose house was
raided by Anglo-French police forces,
has published a letter in the Hestia,1
denying the authenticity of letters re
produced in morning papers, apparent- 1
ly signed by him and showing com- j
plicity in measures for providing sup
plies to German submarines.
