But this is not the spirit of ba and ‘Washington and New fans who will crowd the parks this “second world series” will insist on womething more than mere partici- pation in a baseball contest, Furthermore, followers of t game contend, a club that the regular scason aftey simply go- ing through the motions of trainin is not tuned to the fighting qualitie necessary to a championship com- ‘bination, h s as the Sena- tors possessed in large quantity dur- ing the scething days of the campaign.

C. star,still thinks he can beat Paavo Nurmi, the sensationa) I"inn, in anything around a mile. He intends to go out and attempt to force Nurmi jto such a race by aining some of the rec- ords that were his until the Finn came along. Ray is back home after his second eastern campaign suffering from a heavy cold but determined to con- tinue training and trying. “Jven as late as last winter I was running as many races as Nurmi is doing now, and I had to run all the distances up to 5,000 meters,” says Ray. irmi s running a lot of trick distances and he is constantly slow- ing up, “Last winter, from January 16 to April 1, T ran in 88 races, and most of them had been run by tfie mid- dle of March.

By The Associated Press. Buffalo, N, Y., Feb—~Willle Ritolu, stout-hearted Finnish-American dis- tance runner, stands out today morc prominently than ever as the one competitor having a chance to stop the victorious march of his fellow countryman, Paave Nurml. Competing in the feature events of the 106th regiment indoor games last night, Ritola, in one of the most sensational ~ racqs of his career, Smashed Nurmi's two-mile record to bits after peerless Paavo himself had sped to three new world's indoor marks in a raco at one mile and a quarter than inaugurated another three night program for the Finnish marvel, Tonight Uurmi races at Syracuse’ university, then goes to the New York A. C. games Saturday night, Both races last night were handi- cap affairs, Both were triumphant by decislve margins, but Ritola’s per- formance was the more impressive. Setting a phenomenal pace over the elght-lap track, similar to the one on which Nurmi set his two-mile Irecord of 9:08 last Saturday at the Wilco games in Brooklyn, TRitola covered the same distance in the astonishing time of 9:03 4-5. This mark not only was four and one-fifth seconds faster than Nur- mi's record but nearly six seconds better than the world's outdoor standard, held by Alfred Shrubb, famous Englishman, and set in 1904. Had timers been stationed at various intermediate points up to two miles, there is little doubt Rito- la would have added considerably to his string of records. The Finn led his nlarest rival, Willlam Cox, Rochester schoolboy star who had a 75-yard handicap, to the tape by 150 vards after a terrific last lap sprint. Nurm| was given a great race for haft the distance of his event by Jimmy Connolly, former Georgetowu star and only other seratch competi- or. Connolly, although 50 yards behind at the ish, was himself e former mile and one-quarter record. Nurmi's new records, bringing his total up to 22 in 16 races, and the former marks, all held by himself, follow: New record: 2,000 yards, 5:53 3-5; former record, 5:00 4-5. 2,000 me- ters, 5:22 former record, 5:33. 1 1-4 miles, 4-5: former record, 5:30 145, In the remaining events of out- standing interest on the card for the local meet, Willie Plant, premier American walker, stepped to an easy victory at two miles, overcoming |handicaps conceded to several Ruf- falo competitors, while Allan Helf- frich, Penn State, added another middle distance triumph to his | string, defeating Manville T.ochnicht, |pride of Buffalo, and Ray Watson of the Tllinois A. C., at 5,000 meters. They are quite the thing — Her- ald classified ads. e ——— THT TAMOUS CANADA DRY GINGER ALE Delivered to your home in lots of ene dozen or more. Just telephone ux.
