Flying Cop McAllister Wins 1922 National Dash in Newark
Bob McAllister, nicknamed the Flying Cop for his NYPD sprinting exploits, won the 100 yard dash at the 1922 national AAU championships in Newark, beating stars like Leconey Hayes and Murchison. He celebrated by kissing a rival in joy, then staged a notable indoor comeback in 1926 at the Twenty third Regiment Armory. Coach Jake Weber of Fordham trained him, and his early indoor season set multiple records.
