New York, Jan, —Jole Ray Chi- cago's blond fller, ran the greatest race of his life in Madison Square Garden last night. He started in this event after his heart had been torn by defeat at the hands of a remarkable man from far oft Finland, after it seemed that the little man had given his all in g last futile attempt to check the Eu- ropean track mentor, He had driven the invader to a new world record, but he had failed.

CORBIN NOW TOPS RIVALS IN DUSTY CIRCUIT Defeats Russell & Erwin While Stanley Works Win From Rule Shop— Work of Guards Feature Contests, Comparatively speaking, with ref- mrence to recent games, the Dusty ledgue basketball games last night were rather tame affairs, The Stan- ley Works defeated the Rule Shop 19 and 14 and P, and F, Corbin de- feated Russell and Erwin §1-18, At that however, the fans saw the guards come into their own in both games and the brand of guarding demonstrated measured up to seen this season in this circuit, All four guards in cach game played whirlwind games, covering their men constantly and breaking up many plays that looked as though they were slated to come through with scores at the final end, Last night's game broke the tie for first place, the Corbin team now holding that place with 4 wins and 1 loss. Corbin vs, R. and E, The Russell and Erwin game started slowly and more than two minutes passed before there was any scoring. Then Goodrich, who was playing forward, dropped on in from scrimmage. Holst evened it up a little later when he made good on two free tries, After more passing, dropping,. dribbling and stumbling, and E. got the ball under its own basket and Morelli sped down the floor with a fast exhibition of drib- bling. He flipped it to Saxe and the latter came through with a double decker, R. anc fouls gave Jasper two free tries and he m 1 them both but Paris, following up the last sbot, batted it in for two points and then on resumption of play tossed one in from the side. Schultz also scored when he knocked one in t had bounded off the huckboard. Ar- burr, who was playing a very good game at guard for Corbin, also got into the scoring when he threw double decker from the floor.

Dark words had come from that meeting of Nurmi and Ray | American’s home city, and it was 1l feeling, Ray's run to \ds was all the more note- worthy, At first Nurmi failed to note the litle man at his side who clasped his hand, and then a delight- od smile appeared on that hitherto motionless fuce. He looked at the beaten man and returned the clasp, for Ameria's greatest middle dis- tance man had shown to the guest from overseas just how courageously an American can take defcat. recent in the there shake ‘S(‘hullz 3, Jasper 3, Holst 7, Arburr 2 ‘ Stanley Works vs., Rule Shop The Rule Shop and Stanley Works game saw clefner passing than the !first contest, but there w a lot of jrasged shooting in this battle.

Connie Macl, veteran pilot has been in baseball since 1§ few predictions to make, He is standing pat in the infield and out- field that finished the 1924 campaign in such excellent style but is hopeful that added strength to his battery departments will put his club in the race, Robert (Lefty) Groves, southpaw iequired from Baltimore for a re- puted $100,000 is the mainspring of Mack's hopes.

Nurmi was looking over his shoulder as he ran the final 100 yards, His time wds 3 minutes, 3 4-p seconds, Frigerio Also Wins, But Nurmi had to share the glory | of the evening for Ugo Irigerio, u little durk-ekinned mite from Milan, Ttaly, who walked, waved and smiled his way to victory in the Olympic games, did the same in his first Libitlon on board tracks. ¥ar differ- ent from Nurmi is I'rigerio.
