|JOIE RAY BREAKS CONNEFrS RECORD
Chicago Flier Clips 5 IS Seconds OH Mile and a Quarter Distance

New York Feb. l4, - Another worlds record, long in the keeping Of the old scythe bearer, crumpled un- der the flashing heels of Joie Ray Illinois X. C. middle distance star, last night, The wonderful little Chi eago runner, who less than fort night back created a new mark for mile and q half. showed Tommy connens record of b.SS l-5 for mile and quarter into the discard last night at the annual indoor athletic meet of the Seventy-flrst Regiment Infantry in the infantrymens armory. Ray clipped five and one half seconds on the twenty-six year old mark Of Connefr when he covered the distance in 5:33 3-5.
 The mark of Ray displaced figures set up by Conneff back in 1895 oA an outdoor track at Bergan Point N. J. There Is no listed mark for the dis tance indoors.
 Ray made his wonderful record in handicap one and one-nuarter race against a field of seven rivals. The little Chicago flier was forced to run one Of the best races of his career to achieve the remarkable record. On an armory floor, where the use Of spikes was prohibited, Ray overhauled his field Of liberally handicapped ri vals in true Ray style. and when he had gained the van cut loose at clip which carried him over the boards with the speed of short distancer A crowd of about five thousand thrill cd at the sight of Ray cutting down one by one of his rivals. cheered him on his journey, and as he sped over the closing lap to victory and rec ord, sent up a din which, echoed through the big drill" shed for fully a minute.
 Ray ran a wonderfully well judged race throughout. He passed the quarter mile in 1901, the half in 2:o0. the three -auartcr-m post in 3:19 1-5, and the mile mark in 4:29 1-5. There is no doubt of the records au- thenticity. Altogether six watches caught the rema rkable Chicagoan in 5:33 3-5. Fear of the official timers reported this time and capable timers unoffcially holding their watches on Ray as he sped in quest of this old mark, reported similar time.

BRETON OFFERED S40,000
New York Promoter Would Risk That Amount If Champion Will Meet Herscovitch, COnquerOr of Kelly.

New York, Feb 14-Hugh Le Blanl was so much impressed yesterday with Moe Herscovitch, welterweight champion of Canada, that following an hours talk he issued a statement offering Jack Britton, welterweight champion of the world, $4o.ooo to meet the former amateur in this city within the next six weeks or two months.
 In all probability le Blang will have Herscovitch issue challenge from the ring in Madison Square Garden on Friday evening. when Jack Britton will risk his title against Dave Shade.
 Herscovitch is not well known to the boxing fans of this city but he will be better known if Jack Britton, tempted by Le Blang's offer of $4o,- 900, agrees to meet him. If the Can adian- hits as straight from the shoul der as he talks there is reason to believe that he will give a good ac- count Of Himself.
 Herscovtch is using boxing as a possible stepping stone to a legal ed ucation. He speaks seven languages and was we'll along in his law course at La Val college, Canada, when forced to give it up for the time be- ing to help his family and incidentally help himself.
