FLEET RUNNER TO
STICK TOTHE GAME
Joie Ray Not Alarmed by
Threat to Fire Him
From A. A. u.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2i,--Joie Ray,
fleet runner Of the Illinois a. G., and
member Of the 1920 American
Olympic team, declared today that
he will not desert athletics even if
suspended by the a. A. r., following
the fling Of charges Of executive ex-
pense accounts.
Should Ray be suspended. hc
stated that he would takc IN pro-
fcssional boxing and believed that
he could soon become ono Ut the
stars OF the ring. He Fnid hc had
done much amateur boxing and "
forced to turn professional would
put himself under the guidance Of
real manager and seek to become
sparring partner FOR Jack Dempsey
or one of the other hnmpiOns
The chargeS against Ray reaultcf
from his Bartltipatinu In three mcCts
last winter in New York. the first
being the Wanamakcr games on
February ana the final being tho
meet Of the Guarantee Trust A. c.,
on February 19 Mrs. Ray aC-
companied him on the trip.
The rules OF the a. a T.. state
that an athlete must not he In the
city whore any meet Is held more
fnHn ono ddE previous or one any
later than its date, And the A. A.
u. provides only 81 a day FOR ex-
ponBea,
Ray declared that he had never
thoroughly read the A. A. u. rules
az pertaining to amateurism ana was
unaware OF the two provisions
against remaining In ascity over n
day or the amount OF expense nc
count. And he said he naturally in
ferred that tho organizations invit-
ing him to stay I'm New York and
cordially rendering him with the
invitation to have Mrs. Ray nccomp-
any him would be conversant with
the rules. So he said ne had no idea
that he was violating stipulations Of
the A. A. q, when he took Mrs
Ray with him and showed her tho
sights OF New York.
Battling Nelson, former light
weight champion said today that he
was Interested In the threatened en-
trance OF the professional boxing
game by Joio Ray and wants to be
his manager, teacher and trainer.
Nelson said he could tell In two
months work with Ray whether or
not he would ever advance In the
fistic sport. "And III tell him the
truth, sHii Nelson. 1T ne won't
do, ! won't mlnce my words, but II
he shows class then ! will do all /
can to assist him In getting TO the
front.

BY NORMAN Il. BROWN.


There will be some good reading
today IN what Big I'D Walsh, once
'iron man" hurler with the White
SoX. has TO say of Babe Ruths bat
ing.
As Walsh Is a, bidder for the Ok,
lahorIa city managerial duties this
year, his viewpoint Is of more than
passing interest to Western league
fans.
The recent appointment OF The
Moose" by President Ban johnson
to be one OF the American league
umpires next season, drew the at
tention OF fandom generally to the
hero of the 1908 campaign and In
discussing baseball generally ana
batters In particular Big Ed voiced
the opinion that Napoleon Laloic
was the king OF batters In his time.
Walsh speaks with authority on
the hitters of his day, And the next
summers work Will put him in II
good position To compare his. Idol
of a decade ago with the sultan OF
swat today.
Walsh's tribute to Lajoie is. "He
never broke ground for me or any,
one else"
Explaining breaking ground,
the hurler points out that most bat
ters can be coaXed into expectine
a certain kind of ball. Fed low one
once they win be expecting II again.
Lajoie, Walsh says, never fell into n
trap. mo matter where YOU threw
them for the big Frenchman he was
