JOE RAY WILL TRY TO SMASH
TABER'S WORLDS OUTDOOR
RECORD FOR THE MILE JUNE 8
Chicago Filler Feels Confident That He Can
Better Mark of 4 Minutes 1885 Seconds
Made by Oxford Star in 1915
BY PAUL PREP

ToIE RAY, that sensational fler from
- Chicago, who failed In three attempts
to establish new track record for the
worlds indoor mile run during the last
indoor season, will have an opportunity
to set new figures for the worlds out
door mile run on Saturday. June s, in
the Harvard stadium. Cambridge.
This race will be an added feature OF
a monster army and navy athletic car
nival for the soldiers and sailors of the
Boston district which will be held under
the supervision OF George v. Brown, di-
rector of athletics in the Boston naval
district.
Devaney and Weeks Entered
The conditions for this special race
haven't been completed as yet. and in
order that record-should one be estab-
lished-should not be open to criticism
the event will be a regular handicap
competition. with Ray starting from
scratch. Mike Devaney. the former
Millrose star and present member OF
the Boston naval district, and Harold
Weeks, of the Boston A. A., have been
Invited to compete against Ray.
Norman Taber is the present holder
OF the mile record. He made his remark
able run of minutes IL 3-5 seconds
in 1915, on the Harvard stadium track.
1t is an acknowledged fact that this
cinder path is the fastest IN the country.
| Previous TO Taber's record-h'eaking run
the mark had been held by John Paul
Jones, OF Cornell. who is now In the
navy trying to duplicate the achieve
ments of the hero bearing the same
name a century ago. Jones also made
his record on the Harvard track.
Ray in Great Form
The conditions under which Ray will
make his run TO establish a record are
different from those under which Taber
ran. In the 1915 race fresh runners
started at certain distances. thus giving
the former Brown University man
n fast pace throughout the entire event
A new record established under these
conditions wouldn't be accepted by the
A. A. u. today.
Ray has written to Brown that he
believes he is capable-with proper com.
petitlon-of bringing the record down
TO 1 minutes and 10 seconds and possi-
bly, better. That he Is running In won
derful form was apparent by his per-
formance In the recent meet held in the
Great Lakes training station, Chicago
where he won the one-mile run in 4
minutes and 20 seconds; the two-milC

only few yards behind Tom Campbell
in the half mile event. which was won in
] minute and 81 2-5 seconds.
Several months ago It was thought
by many track critics that with Bob
Simpson, Waldo Ames and other sensa-
tton college hurdlers all doing their little
bit In some branch or other of the Gov
ernment service, the 120-yard high hur-
die race at the annual relay carnival Of
the University Of Pennsylvania would
be far below the standard of competi-
ton set for this event IN former years.
But such is not the case.
c. Il. Erdman, the sensational timber
topper from Princeton who finished only
a few yards behind Bob Simpson. the
worlds record holder in this event last
season, will be among the starters. In
the Meadowbrook Club games held last
month in this city. Erdman equaled the
worlds indoor record for the forty-five-
yard high hurdles and In doing 50
showed improved form over his previous
work.
Then there is johnson, the Michigan
| flash, who is reported to be a world
beater and who some track experts 20
so far as to say is the greatest hurdIer
that has come out OF the West for sew
Vial years dHu tnlS Is going some. His
record was unmarried during the indoor
season and he tied the worlds record for
the seventy-fve-yard high hurdles.
Cornell Men Fast

If there is such a thing as form I,
track athletics and the above mentioned
run true to such, then the men toeing tn,
mark in the final of the l90-yard even
will be Erdman, johnson, Cleminshav v

There are one-piece and two-piece pa

to make up these very modern concep-

fanciful than these which exaggerate
the style in order to call attention to

pens that she must choose new one
just between seasons, as in February
or January. Winter suits are offered
at bargain prices then, and early
spring styles have appeared, enticing-
ly new and tempting. The shopper is
torn between two minds, and no one
can settle the matter for her. 1t must
be decided by the climate she lives In,
the kind of service she requires of the
suit, becomingness of the styles and
other personal matters.
Winter and spring styles compare
notes in the two suits shown here. AT
the left an advance model for spring
reveals trim affair of dark-colored
cloth, with a plain skirt that does not
commit itself to the very narrow style
which has been considerably heralded.
The coat approves the conservation of
wool by being short, enforcing its
opinion especially in the back of the
garment, which Is shorter than the

as it can be, conveniently the coat
hangs as straight as plumb-line, but
tempers it's severe simplicity with
rounded points at the bottom. The
sleeves are allowed a little fullness at
the top and finished at the hand with
strap and button trimming. A mar

waistline, and very large buttons fas-

skirt in way to emphasize the long
