Whew! That's as good as Simpson did when he created such a sensation only a while ago. Sure enough, same time.
Somebody just mentioned the name Dyer. Who do they mean? That's right, it's Hec Dyer of the Los Angeles A. C. And they do say he's good. Now wait a minute. Let's get the record straight. Dyer beat Eddie Tolan. He beat Frank Wykoff twice and tied him once in the only three times they have met. He must be some runner. All the Coast fans say that it's a cinch for him in the "200" with Wykoff sure bet in the "100."
That may be only a natural sectional optimism—but reserve on great big cheer for the boy who beats either of them!
