And residents of the Greek villages along the wny got something of a shock a.s they watched the parade of runners pass through. A Frenchman lod the him came an Arthur Blake, the American, was running a good third. Not one Greek runner showed before fifth But the spectators had plenty of shouted encouragement to all tho they offered wine to anyone who wanted it. Five miles went ten, nnd the race began to shake down.

In the stadium at Athens a huge crowd waited impatiently for the first to come through the entrance and race around the track that marked the finish of the twenty-six miln grind. The king of Greece waited In his box.

Two princes wailed at the stadium entrance. Then the cannons boomed, announcing the approach of a.run- ner. The 'crowd rose and every eye in tho stadium watched the cnr trance. They could hear cheers In the distance. And then a man came the two Grecian princes trotted along witfi him as he completed the last few yards of the maralhon.

The team, Mgr. Naugos added, would to bring along its own umpires a-s an aid to winning tho game.

But it is believed the home club will furnish the umpires. Whom Mgr. Nauges and Grant will start on the mound was not announced this morning, nor was the rest of the team made known.

First it waa Twilight Tear with 11 straight victories, racing at healthy odds losing to an unknown nag. And now Bob Hamilton reigns as the F-G-A golf king of the year, defeating Lord Byron. Nelson Odds on that one were 30-1, favoring, ot course, the veteran Texas campaigner, Nelson.

Which goes to show that 3.0 to 1 odds or 12 to 1 odds may be too much for anything. It is definite that the golfers didn't gobble up any bets on Nelson, at those odds. For Bob Hamilton written up as the Hoosicr as unknown as all that to golfers. True, he never hit the big time but he did come close. Hamilton started playing pro back in 1937 but his golfing- ma.dc aooul as much noise as eating marshmallows in a foundry.

He operated on a slight money margin and. when disgusted, he'd throw his ties and shirts in a grip anc head lor Indiana. This season he decided to stick through the entire chain of moneyed tournaments, because of large pots and fewer golfers. He finished in-the New Orleans open, ahead of such sharpshooters as Craig Wood, Ed Dudley, Tony 1-cnna and other journeymen shots. From that one he hopped to Pinehurst and won the North- South open, his first win outside of Indiana.

Officials of the just-finished PG-A match couldn't see anything but a Jug McSpadcn-Byron Nelson They certainly didn't peek through the keyhole and see the handwriting, when Hamilton ouisteadicd McSpaden to eliminate him from the match play. But Bob Hamilton finally stuck out a golf season, and won a major tourney right at the fag end, operating against Byron Nelson and those fat 30" to 1 odds.
