CASPER HIGH CAGERS SMOTHER MANVILLE Q ‘TOM MURPHY COMPUTES} The Days of Real Sport SECOND STRING WINDS UP CAME Local Machine Func- tions Well Despite Handicap Casper high school’s bas-) ketball team, with substitutes | in the lineup most of the) game, easily triumphed over the Manville aggregation on the basketball court last night by a score of 44 to 13. The game was not’ particularly fast but kept the tpectators on ecze because of the many difficult shots which were made hy both quintets Casper showed the éffects vf the hard game at Glenrock Thursday cve-| ning and played considerabiy slow:r Wasketball than the quintet {8 accus- tomed to cxhivic. The passwork was only fair and the floorwork of tho locals was mediocre. Casper will! have to uncork a much faster game to take Cheyenne into camp when the Cherry and White play here next Sat- urday evening. Manville was slow and seemingly not used to as large a floor as the Natrona county _representative's court. None of the visitors showed unusual] ability and the absence of # good shot on the team was a serious handicap. i Captain Lester was in for only three minutes for the locals, his charley | horse still giving him considerable | trouble. Scowan, a freshman, was) the surprise of the evening. The| former Central grade school star was all over the court and showed con-| siderable class on close in shots. He tallled seven baskets. Davis kept up| his good work of the Glenrock game and shot six field goals with Post ana! Turner, the latter a first string sub- stitute, accounting for four and three respectively. Groves and McGrath, the regular guards, played well and kept the visitor's shots down to minimum. The lineups and scores: Casper, 44. | Casper FG. FT.

WINNINGS IN SULKY AT OVER A MILLION DOLLARS Thomas W. Murphy computes his}: winnings in the sulky in the last four- teen years at $1,085,762.75 in purses and stakes. Only twice—in 1910 and again this year—has he fafled to head the lst of successful drivers at the close of the season. His achievements in driving trot- ters and pacers to extreme! t rec. ords are perhaps more remarkable than the amount of money he. has won.

FARRELL - NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Just a few old gray coals remain in the stove which has been keeping the winter gab league going since the Yanks took baseball poison last October. _ What little heat remains to keep the league going will be smothered out by the American League magnates when they wind up their spring meeting Monday in Philadelphia. After that there witl be ‘nothing to do but wait for April. Trade talk is still in the air as the teams are heading south to start spring training. One prospective swap blew up with a loud bang today but the long discussed Eddio Collins transfer seemed hotter than ever. Squire Ebbets. has been talking with Garry Herrmann “about trans- ferring Leon Cadore, rather antique pitcher, from Brooklyn to the Cincin. nati Reds. for Fonsecca, infielder. good in the Myers-Fournier trade by the St. Louls Cardinals, it looked as though Ebbets was going to even up by putting a good one over on Herr- mann until! Pat. Maron, field general of the Reds, was insulted. “Never,” Pat yelled when told about it, and the deal was off. Moran figured the Reds would need another reliable pitcher on hand in case Rube Benton gets the air from Commis- sioner Landis, but he was not willing to part with the player that John Mc. Graw called the best prospect in the league for any old pitcher. the star} After having been slammed, Herrmann was ready to tatk busi- ness| about Dutch Reuter or Burleigh Grimes, but Ebbets went back over the bridge to Flatbush slightly peeved and said he was thru. Eddie Collins will be playing second base for the Yayks next season if the “Payin’ Colonels” will part with Waite Hoyt, it has long been under- stood. ‘ The colonels, Ruppert and Hous ton, are now prepared to let the boy wonder go, it 1s said, and the deal may be announced at the American League Monday 1 Philadelphia. Collins would lm accompanted to New York by Bib Falk and Leverette, a young pitcher, and Hoyt, Erin Ward and Bob Meusel would go to the White Sox in return, it is under- stood. Since the Yanks acquired the veter- an southpaw, Herb Pennock, it is said that Huggins would be willing to part with Hoyt. Huggins and the young- ster,never have gotten along very well and Huggins might sacrifice him even if Collins comes with the prospect of taking the job of Huggins away from him.

Marvel, After 10 Years Racing, as Fleet As Ever, Eckersall Says BY WALTER ECKERSALL Joie Ray of the Illinois A. C., whose great perform- ances on indoor tracks this winter stamps him as the greatest middle distance -run- ner ever developed in America, is a natural athlete. Running was a gift and the only thing the fleet little per. former has done to !mprove himself since he broke into the spotlight some ten years ago is to learn pace. The I. A, C. athlete has been run- ning miles so often that he can step the quarters within fifths of a second of the time denoted by his traine: He knows just how fast he will have to run to win over opponents, but he always has enough in reserve to stave off any, challenges, He h made a study'of the running, game and the men whom he meets, It's a well known fact in athletics come athletes can be run off their fe in a race, while others wil! be go through certain distances ime if the pace for half of ntest is not too grueling. Ray knows the strength and weakness of practically every middle distance run. ner in America and this is one of the reasons why he wins his races with such ridiculous ease. Native of nkakeo Ray originally came from Kanka. kee, Ill, where he was known as a tireless runner. When still a boy it was a common sight to see him turn mile after mile the o!d trotting track at the f nuinds. He was fond of fires would run mil Across the country to watch some farmer's barn burn. In fact, he was ways on the run, no matter w had to do, and it undoubtedly was ous outdoor training which onstitution to still & and he this vii has given him the run at a world’s record breaking clip. Joie is one of the cockiest athlet in the game. He does not believe there is a man Mving who can beat him over any distance from a mile to He is convinced there is in America who can turn the trick, and he wants to mpke a trip to Europe to meet Hi'l, the fleet Englishman, or any other middie dist- ance man of note who warrants giv- & him a race Ambitious to Make 1924 Trip His one big ambition at the pres ent time ts to remain good enough to make the American team which will Olymptc in compete in tho If he does not Ko to no runner samen France in 1924 ope this summer he will havo the satisfaction of meeting the best in the world at the 1924 gamox. Unless the 6 1s no reason be as good o The advance sale. of tickets indl- cates unusual interest jn the card by Casper fans. The tickets are on sale at the Smoke House and ‘at McDon-| ald's cigar store in the Rialto theatre building. —S the present time. Ray 1s married and is very much of a home man. He takes excellent care of himself and trains whenever he feels disposed. He has no set rules except that he Wwatchés his, diet and wil not run a time trial unless he is favorably disposed. He does not be- Heve in forcing his efforts in training and it generally happens that when he is indisposed he stays away from the running track entirely. Although Joie. has run some great year from this summer as he is “ WORLD'S RELAY races in phenomenal time, his most! sensational performances took place on: February 10 in, Brooklyn, where the annual indoor track and field games of the Wilco A: A. were held: In this event Ray hung up four world’s records in the course of one race, the two mile. The peculiar thing about his great running was that he shattered all known marks for two miles indoors and outdoors. | He was . clocked in 9:08 2-5, which. smished the world's outdoor amateur record of 9:09 3-5 made by Alfred Shrubb, the great English runner, back in 1904. Sel- dom does it happen that an. cutdoor mark is* broken at an indoor meet and the fact it was makes Ray's per- formance all the more commendable. Breaks Own Record At the end of 1% miles of the two mile race Ray's time was caught at 7:59 4-5, The best known previous indoor record for tho distance was 8:10 3.6, made by George V. Bonhag at Buffalo in 1910. Ray stepped the 3,000 meters in 8:31 1-6, which lowered his own previous mark by two-fifths of a second. He established a new mark of 8:34 4.5 for 1% mites, His new time for two miles lowered his own world’s indoor record of 9:11 2 A short time before the Brogkly meet Ray ‘smashed his own world’s indoor record for 1% miles by step- ping the distance in 6:41 4-5 at the Milrose games in New York City. His previous mark was 6:42 3-5.. This per- formance was an indication of what might be expected later and such proved to be the caso. It has been Ray's ambition years\to shatter the world’s outdoor record for one mile. This mark is held by Norman Taber, who stepped the distance in 4:12 8-5 on July 16, 1916.
