BORG'S STORY.
LONDON, Tuiv IS. Avne Borg told a graphic story of the 400 metres final to the special representative of ''The Sun." '"Charlton is not as fast as me,"' said the Swede, "but at 200 metres we sawthat we must get right out —else it was good-l>ye. So I got; but Charlton—he is wonderful. "I turn in last 50 metres a long war ahead. I look over my shoulder and, geo, see a green cap. My heart almost stop. "I swim like hell, afraid he heat both of up. Ye?, he is a marvel, for he gave us nearly 10 yards start in the last 300 metres and nearly caught us."
