| + Rain a \ EE A ere Cena e dmt § aced Distance Runners ; WINNIPEG (CP)--Joe Keeper is beginning to have a little trou- ble with his teeth, aad his legs are stiffening a bit, but he still likes to recall the races he ran against the best of the world's = distance runners. During a brief stay at Deer a : Lodge Military Hospital in ad- Joining St. James, the 73-year- old Cree Indian talked about his past efforts and achievements. Keeper represented Canada in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, ran for the Canadian Army in France during and after the First World War and made a name for himself in Manitoba racing. FINN THE GREATEST He says the greatest distance runner he ever encountered was H. Kolehmainen, a Finn who won the 10,000-metre race at the 1912 Olympics. "It was a great race," recalled Keeper. "I finished fourth, only 80 yards behind him." "About a third of a mile from the finish four of us were all bunched together and then Koleh- © mainen started to go. An Amer- ican Indian came second, another * Finlander third, and 1 came © fourth." . 3 Keeper won his heat in the 5,- © 000 metres at Stockholm but was unplaced in the final. He joined the Engineers when war broke days in France met other top- notch runners. He defeated Can- ada's famed Tom Longboat, who represented Canada in the 1908) Olympics in London, in both one- mile and three-mile races. BIG TRIUMPHS Other victories were over Teddy Wood of England and Jack Kidd, the Camadian mile cham- pion in 1910 and 1911 The highlight of his army run- ning came in 1919 during an inter-Allies meet in Paris. "I ran in the 10 - mile race through the streets of Paris against the crack distance run- ters ef the Allied army," he said, "put an American just beat me out, and no more." He was just as active on the Manitoba racing scene. Every Thanksgiving Day the YMCA staged a five - mile road race from Deer Lodge to its Winnipeg headquarters and Keeper won this fr om 1910 to 1913. BRANDON EVENT | Among the top-flight Manitoba runners conquered by Keeper was Tom Towne of Brandon. "The Brandon Sun staged a 10- mile race through the Brandon streets," Keeper said, "but I won out and during sports mat A Sab World's Top Indians Crying For Old Hurlers By ED WILKS that backed a four - hitter by Associated Press Staff Writer (Camilo Pascual (15-10).
