seven Miles an Hour.

James B. Ryall, q Newark driver, at
the wheel of a Matheson car, streaked
over the Vanderbilt Cup race course In
practise yesterday, covering the dis
lance in the remarkably fast time of
81 minutes fat. What makes Ryall's
time more creditable is the fact tina
yesterday was the first day he had had
the Matheson racer on the course.
Ryalrs average speed for the lap was
sixty-seven miles an hour. The car
seemed to fly over the roads, its work
being easily the featur' of tie day for
the many persons who watched thu
drivers at practise.
The mex best time made yesterday
was that Of Jim Florida, in the hrA

fast laps. The first was in 26 minutes
and the second in 90. Foxhall p. Keene
had his 120-horsepower Mercedes out
again yesterday, but failed to make a
complete circuit.
There were three other newcomers In
the morning practise on the course
yesterday. They were Strang. in the
1907 Grand Prix Renault, Patschke In
the specially built Acme racer, and
Fitzpatrick in the 1906 Hotchkiss. II was
Kilpatricl's first trial on the course In
a high-powered car, although he had
made the acquaintance Of the curves
in the stock six-cylinder car which
competed in the Motor Parkway sweep
stakes. Fitzpatrick mad no attempt at
speed, and was not clicked for a com
plete round.
Patschke In the Acme aroused some
interest since the car Is one of the two
machines that were especially built for
this race. He, too, simply breezed
around three laps, the fastest in 1921.
The car showed some speed possibili-
ties. Strang made no effort at fast
time, although the car demonstrated
that 1t had speed when required.
The Grand Prix Renault will be
watched in the remaining three days of
practise with the keenest interest, as
there Is a growing belief that 1t will
be one of the ~contenders from start to
finish. Strang said yesterday that 1t
had great possibilities on the straight

MARVIN HART GETS
DECISION ON A FOUL

BOSTON, Oct. 21.-Marvin Hart. the
heavyweight from Kentucky. obtained
the decision over Jack Twin Sullivan
on q foul committed in the fifth round
of their fight. held before the Armory
A. C. last night. The verdict was to-
tally unexpected by the spectators. To
the majority 1t looked as If Hart had
too much and was ready to quit. unless
he could get away with his claim.
The foul blow happened right after
the bell sounded for the fifth round.
Hart sent a few %uppercuts to Sulllvan's
face. and the latter retaliated with a
wicked left to the body. Hart went
down, declaring hat the blow was low
and that he was hurt. The referee i'm
mediately stopped the fight and gave
the decision to the Kentuckian. In the
third round Sullivan hit his opponent
low. and Hart was given a rest of one
minute.
Up to the finish Sullivan had a shade
over Hart. and. In all probability. would
have won. The Kentuckian was at
least twenty pounds heavier than Sui
Ivan.

Just this: Professionalism. Games be-

enough. but the fans hereabouts tired
of the methods employed by certain
local players. They played on not one

These conditions killed off rivalry be-

there Is no interest there is no crowd.
