IRON MAN PIRIE
PICKS FOALSKIN FOR RECORD CANTERS
· By RALPH
HEWINS
When Gordon Pirie, 22-year-old Coulsdon (Surrey) bank clerk, ran the best-ever British 3,000 Metres (3,218 yards) at Oslo he wore a new pair of 10 oz. shoes, lighter than many a Paris mannequin's footwear.
Pirie found a little old cobbler halfway up a mountain at Bergen a month ago to make them. The leather is foalskin, lighter and stronger than the kangaroo
of Pirie's British shoes or the calf of the pair he got in Germany:
There
only four fron arc spikes in the Norwegian shoes Lastead of the usual six, and Pirle has cut down the thin raw rubber soles to single thickness, except on the heels where the mnin jar of the cinders comes.
Thus he saved several rpc- tions of an ounce here and there and lightened the burden he
his has to carry in
