JOE RAY NEEDS FAST PACE
TO ESTABLISH NEW RECORDS

pected to Push Chicago
Runner to New Mark in
MeadoWbrook Mile
BY PAUL PREP

TT JOE RAY. the Sensational Chicago
l. nier, breaks the worlds indoor record
for the mile, established by Johnny
Overton last year in the annual Meadow
brookk Club games. Saturday night at
the Second Regiment Armory. Broad
street and Susquehanna avenue, 1t will
be only through the efforts of Mike
Devanny, Eddie Fan or Jack Ryan
Ray will leave Chicago for this city
some time tomorrow morning. He will
timber up Friday on the Second Regi-
ment Armory track.
Although he has proven beyond ques-
ton that he is the most consistent track
performer that the world has known
since the days Of Tommy Conneff. Joie
must be pushed very hard i'm the first
half of the race II he Is to come any
where near record time.
This was true In his race with Johnny
Overton In the Rodman Wanamaker
trophy contest In the Melrose games a
year ago, when he made a new mile and
a half mark OF minutes and 46 20
seconds. 1t was likewise true In his
two.mile race with Overton at the New
York A. G., when he set the worlds in
door mark of minutes IL 2-5 seconds,
and It was evident In the one-mile Ma
tional A. A, U, championship race at st.
Louis last fall, when he established a
new championship record OF 4 minutes

Can't Set Fast Pace
Ray appears to lack the ability to go
out and make a fast pace for himself at
the start. But he is fully capable to
follow the fiercest kind of a pace and
then come back In the final mile or
half mile at such a pace that fairly car
ries him over the boards or cinders. as
the case might be. Overton discovered
this In his race with Ray last winter.
