AIL Shrubb Killer In Foot Racing The editor af The Statesman bas received the followimg story about the early days af the world champion runner, Al Shru*bb, af 1Bawmanville. This story appeared in the Nov. 14 issue of "News of The World" a paper witb the larg- est circulation over the globe. The writer of the story, Joe Binks, ex- holder af the world's mile record and for many years bas been the roving sports reporter for bis famous paper. Mr. Binks writes as follows: I have received an interesting letter fromn my old athletic friend, Alf Sbrubb, who, is now a promi- nent business man in Bowman- ville, Ontario. As I have been asked many Urnes on my lecture tours what I think Sbrubb would bave donc in modern record-breaking rac- ing here are some details about the marvel runner af the early century days. In action Shrubb bad a style af bis awn, bis erect body seeming ta drap inta something appraacb- ing a sitting position as he ran. I tried il, but found the strain on the thigbs too much for me. His racing tactist made him a killer. If anybody started ta hang an ta him Shrubb would suddenly let out a fast, furlong sprint. If that did not shake off bis oppon- ent he would make a second sprint and a third if necessary for the kill. Wlth such tactics Shrubb proved a man who could not be followed from 11,/ miles up- wards, either on the track or over the country, and i any sort of going. Thus he won al bis races, excepting the mile, by a "distance." 1 feel that, bad Shrubb run bis races at a mare even pace be wauld have provcd lester still. Moreever, I arn sure that if hustled he would have beatcn al bis own records- and be beld the world's best from 1 % ta 1l miles. Old - timers wili remeniber Sbrubb's first appearance in the A.A.A. championships in 1900. He came out arrayed in long pants, coloured socks and suspenders, wbich amused the spectators. Shrubb was tackling the great Charlie Bennett, and right away he tare in front only toecase a little later, Bennett then toak bis usual position in front, but Sbrub woi'ld nat lot hirn bave it. These tactics continued lap alter lap, causing roars of laughter. Bennett, hewever, got annoyed and told this unknown boy in socks te get Staff ord Brou.
