Folks,
I was watching the PGA this past weekend and the winner of the
tournament is awarded the Wanamaker trouphy. Same organization/person
as the indoor mile? If so, can someone let me know or point me to a
link where I can read up on the background of the award.
Thanks! Joe

Poulan Weed-Eater Bowl.
