Paddock Is Sensation
of 1921 on Cinder Track
With Records Broken
California Man Sets New Marks in Short
Distance and Does 100 Yard Perform
ance Four Times.

them all and his performances prove
that no mark is unbreakable.
Other individuals who shared in the
record breaking of the last year are
Larry Brown of the University of
Pennsylvania; August Deach of Newark
and Notre Dame and Willie Plant Of
the Morningside A. G. of New York.
Brown bettered Mel Sheppard
1000 yard mark, covering the distance
in PIP 1-5 at Franklin Field at the
American Legion meet. Desch will
not get credit on the books for his
mark of 50 4-5 seconds for the 40
yards low hurdles, since he raced over
2 feet 6 inch hurdles, which are not
standard, but his feat will 60 down as
a noteworthy performance and Penn
Carnival record mark. Willie Plant
stamped himself as the greatest walker
this country has ever produced for
from one to fifteen miles 1t was in
the fifteen mile and two hour walks
that he created new marks.
Three Records Broken
In relay running three marks went
bv the boards, one mile. quarter mile
and half mile The one mile mark at
3:16 % stands out since it was made
by four men, Larry Brown, Earl Eby.
Dewey Rogers and Bob Maxam, all
members of PENIS track team. While
the record will not be credited to Penn
on the books, because the men repre-
scented the American Legion in the par
ticular met, it is great performance
in that four men in one college made
this time.
A club might easily gather four men
together and smash this record, but 1t
will be many a day before any college
team will boast of four quartermilers
who wilh average 40 Ito seconds. The
best performance prior to this was 3:lS
and the average good time for col
lege team is 800.
New Yori, A. G. wins credit for the
other two relay marks which are ex-
ceptionalIy good and were made by the
same team within half hour. This
tenn was made up of Bernie Weferes,
,Jr. Harold Ray. Ed. Farrell and Z. l..
Lovejoy.
Boost to Sport
The forward steps taken which will
greatly aid the sport were the reor-
ganization of the American Olympic
committee. which puts this body on
much sounder basis, and the renewing
of the international competition be-
tween college athletes by the visit OF
the combined Oxford and Cambridge
and French teams.
The Olympic committee under the
new plan seems to be great improve
ment over the one man rule in 1870.

Babe Is Penitent;;
Seeks in Vain for
Talk With Lands

Chicago. Jan. 19.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. Babe" Ruth has de-
cided that he went too far in violating
the rules of organized baseball by play
ing post season games and is attempt
ing to persuade Judge kenesaw NJ.
Lands, baseball commissioner, through
personal appeal, to mitigate his pun
ishment of suspension until May 20
and fine of more than $4,000.
Ruth, who is appearing at thea
ter here this week, Wednesday tele-
phoned Judge Lands office in an eff
fort to arrange personal interview
with him but the judge was confined
to his home with a bad cold.
A second call was made Thursday
but the judge still was sick and indl-
cations are that Ruth may not be able
to reach him Judge Lands condi-
ton is so bad that he has cancelled
speaking engagements.
Ruth, however. plans to call at the
judges home Friday and has got in
touch with the baseball commissioner s
doctors to try to obtain permission for
an interview If no interview can be
arranged before the Yankee ontfielder
leaves town, he will take up his case
with Judge Lands by mail.

poor scoring ability has been the chief
weakness.
With the change in the Great Falls
lineup, Coach Crouch should have
pair of forwards equal to any in the
state. Both Winner and Gonser are
good at the basket and their dribbling
fast. In practice games. Charters has
shown up well at center and is ex-
pected to hold the position as well as
any.
With Gonser and Winner at the
forward positions. Butte will have
hard time to penetrate the Great Falls
offensive. and Shaw and Lowry or Ario
at the guard posts may be expected to
tide off the Butte scoring machine con-
siderably. James Charters will hold
the center. Either Chichester or
Conner will give service to the Blue
and White quint at forward. Olson
will probably be used for the reserve
guard with either Lowry or Ario.
Coach Danahey and his charges
viii arrive on the afternoon Helena
train. The Butte mentor will use
Chapman and Murphy, forwards;
O'Connor, center: and Walsh, Crowley
or Meagher. guards. Brennan may be
used at forward to start the game in
place of Chapman.
The game has been called for 8
O'Clock. Ed Marion will referee.

New York, Jan. .19.-The perform
ance of Charles w. Paddock, of the
University Of California, in shatteriag
all existing sprint marks heads the
list for 1921. Eleven new records
have been the result of Paddock s
work. Six of them were at standard
| distance and five over distances not
recognized as standard by the record
committee Of the A. A. U.
Paddock will have to share one mark
with two other sprinters, for the 100
yards dash record Of 8 3-5 seconds is
Howard Drew and Paddock, but to
Paddock falls the greater honor, since
he did this on four occasions on diff
ferent tracks. Kelly and Drew only
did this remarkable time once, show
ing that they had been able to reach
perfection in sprtinting only on that
! occasion during their careers. Pad
dock may some time even 90 better
than 8 3-5 seconds.
220 Record Best.
Starting at 80 yards, Paddock an
nexed every mark up to 300 meters.
and with the exception of the 100 yards
| has covered the distances faster than
any other Splinter. The record for
220 yards probably stands out as Pad
| docks best mark since it is distance
more often run by sprinters and he
lowered far more decisively than the
others.
| Only one past assault on records can
be compared with the Californian S
and that was the campaign of Me-
Sheppard in the middle distance in
1910, when he broke nine marks from
the 500 yards to the two-thirds of a
mile. Several of Sheppard's marks
have been beaten since, but at that
time they were considered as remark
able as are Paddock's. Next to Pad
docks performance comes the great
broad jumping of Ned Gourdin Of Har-
ward Jumping well over "a feet all

IN GAME TONIGHT
Butte Hoopsters Come as One
of Strongest Basketball
Teams in State.

Keen competition is expected this
friday evening at the high school,
when the Great Falls basketball quint
meets the strong Butte high aggre-
cation, reputed to be one of the strong
est teams in the state.
Although rumors give the Miners the
advance advantage of the game because
of their record this season and the fact
that several 1920-21 hoopsters are on
the lineup, Coach NJ. G. Crouch, the
only a hard fought game between the
two will decide which is the superior.
Butte will be at it's usual disadvan-
tage here, in that the local floor is
about Ii feet shorter than the over
sized Butte court. Because of this,
Butte will find it difficult to effectu-
ally use the criss cross which it de-
ponds on to large extent.
Short Passing Features
Both the Great Falls and Butte
teams have been coached in short pass
ing. which is the feature of the game
However, with such guards as Lowry
and Shaw on the Electric lineup, the
Purple and White will find it difficult
to work the sphere to the hoops. To
counter this, Butte brings Walsh. the
speedy running guard. who is excep-
tionally clever with his long shots. He
made q personal score of % in the
Butte game last week in Butte
and may be used to advantage as a for
ward.
Gonser and Winner. forward and
center on the Great Falls five, will
have real chance to prove their SUI
periority in scoring tonight. The two
have been running close on the per-
sonal scoring tallies since the first of
the season, but only ability and clev-
erness will enable either to run large
tally in the Butte contest.
Great Falls defeated Hayre last
like a football game than basketball.
The general work of the home team
then showed that much work was need
ed in all phases of the game. Great

difficult for their opponents to com

When you buy shoes at twelve dollars
They no doubt are worth the price
Then there's others at eight dollars
That look well and are real nice.

And will really, truly strive
You will find shoes that are worth

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
A Pre-Holiday stock Market.

If ever there was a typical pre-holiday
session on the Stock Exchange II was
yesterdays. Total transactions fell un-
der a quarter of a million shares for
the first time in more than two years
and had II not been for the unusual ac-
tivity and interest in General Motors
shares. what the actual total would have
been is oonjectural. That the public was
absent from the market and that most of
the professional operators were also
among the missing was evident from
the character of the days operations.
On the other hand. 1t was plain to be
seen that sponsors of certain stocks in
which group operations have been ap-
parent recently were much on the job.
The stocks which are always favorites
with the public. such as United States
Steel common, Baldwin, &c. were almost
entirely neglected. In fact. the market
had been under way for an hour and
forty minutes before the first sale Of
Steel common made its appearance on
the tape. Moreover, there was no in
terest in these public favorites. even
after they had registered their opening
prices. Business, such as 1t was. CEN
tered around various group issues such
as du Pont de Nemours. General Motors,

ately active. Accumulation Of the cop

SENSATIONAL RISE
IN COTTON FUTURES
Gain of $3.50 a Bale Due to
Unexpected Showing in Re-
port by Government.

The cotton market developed a sensa-
tional upward movement yesterday
under the all powerful influence OF the
Department of Agriculture's report
showing a condition OF 71.2 per cent
OF normal as OF June 25, compared with
last months mark Of 500. the June
1921. condition of 692 and the ten year
June average OF 76.9. The report came
as complete surprise. as n mark OF
about 70 per cent. had been expected AS
result a heavy and general buying
movement began lifting prices us
points. or $3.50 a bale, to new high rec
ords for the season. Profit taking on
the upturn was well absorbed. so it
made little impression on values. which
at the close of the session were up 49,
to 172 points.
Production this year was estimated at
11.05,0o0 bales, which many thought en-
tirely too low to satisfy worlds needs.
particularly in face OF the increasing
number Of boil weevil complaints that
are now coming in from the South.
Last year production was 7.a13,6i1 bales
and two years ago II was 11.4e0, ,763 bales.
One OF the most bullish features Of the
Government report was the fact thai

that indicated by various private re-
ports.

The shares of the e. l. du Pont de Ne
mours Company had another sensational
advance yesterday. an advance which
was not borne out by any news develop

particular except the marking higher oil
the stock, its sponsors began the day by
registering for 1t an overnight gain OF

From that point it's climb upward was
rocketlike until a high mark of 144 was
touched. where 1t closed with net gain
of 13A points. Traders professed to
see some connection between the big
rise in du PUnt and the activity and
strength of General Motors The former
holds some large blocks of General Mo-
tors which were purchased more than a
year ago from William C. Durant. then
head Of the General Motors Corporation.

fusal to order the men back to work.
The markets Indifference to the shop
mems strike reflected the conviction OF
the financial community that the walk
out will not be allowed to interfere seri-
ously with trade and industry. The
notion prevailed in Wall Street that the
position of the strikers had been weak
