JOE RAY |SMOST
CONSISTENT
Miller
Fans Wonder What George,
Kiviat, Taber, or Jones
Could Do With Him.

Joie Rays record smashing feats
at the Millrose games brought the
middle-distance events into the pub
lie eye. Surely there is no ques-
ton that "Chesty Joie" is the most
consistent miller the world has ever
known, although whether he could
have beaten the great English run
ner, w. G.. George, on an outdoor
cinder path is a moot question.
Norman Taber, of Brown Uni
versity, holds the outdoor mile
record of 4122-5, made in the
Harvard Stadium. But Taber did
not run his record mile in actual
competition and few critics rate him
as great collegiate runner as
John Jones, of Cornell.
When Jones won the inter-
collegiate mile in 4:16, he ran the
last quarter in 40 3-5; the fastest
final fourth ever run by a miller.
Some idea of the Comedians ter
rifle finishing squirt can be gathered
from the simple statement that
Walter Koppisch won the Metro
politan quarter mile in 81 3-5 sec
onds.
George, of England, has done the
mile in Ala under competition.
kibiat's best time was Ais.
A running fans idea of heaven
would be to see George, Ray.
Kiviat, Taber and Jones punched
together when the gong rang for
the final quarter of the mile race
of all time Who would win?

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-When
Branch Hickey taps the bell for the

will be surrounded by a flock OF
minor league managers. Frank
Shaughnessey, director of the SYRIA

They will aid Hickey in prepping
the youngsters besides casting
blinking eyes in the direction OF
the youths who will be marked for
experience in the minors.
The board of strategy also will
have Roy Thomas, Charles Barrett
Burt Shotten and Joe Sugden for
official members. AS the Cardinals
squad will be composed of at least
eighty ball players which will in
clude members of the Fort Smith

part of the month to move down to

that they will depart tomorrow via

AVERAGES! AR {
THEY Of ANY
USE?
Bancroft, Star Shortstop for
Giants, Errs More Than
Any Other Player.

Do baseball averages really prove
anything?
The question is inspired through
the fact that Dave Bancroft, crack
shortstop of the Giants, made 81
errors last season-more than any
other player in either league.
1t frequently is admitted that
fielding averages are of little &C
count, yet on the whole, all aver
ages furnish an interesting side
line to the sport.
1t is interesting to note how u
player will average practically the
same year after year. He may
have one very bad or one very good
year, but in looking over his stats
tics, they usually will average
about the same level.
This is remarkable, when one
considers the different kinds OF
scoring in various cities, liberal
strict and inaccurate, and despite
the mistakes of scorers.
Review the averages of Ty COBB
over the last ten years. In 1918
he hit 800; the next season he
dropped off two points, one hit, and
hit 1888. In 1915 he hit $40. and
in 1915, one point more, .371.
Then came three straight wears
in which he was only two points
apart. He hit 1888 in 1917, 1882 in
1918 and 1884 in 1919. In 1926
Cobb had trouble with his eyes and
legs, and fell to .334, but in 1921
he was back to .3S9, a few points
higher than his 1919 gait.
Last year he went up to .4O1. In
six of the ten years he ranged be-
tween 1882 and 800, a margin OF
eight points.
Stuffy McInnis' figures are even
more remarkable. McInnis is a
regular 300 hitter. but just that
Three times during the years when
the Athletics were at their height
Stuffy went over 1920, but invaria
bly, Stuffy is listed between .3O1
and .314.
Twice in the last four years he
has hit .305 and once .3O7. When
he has fallen out of the 300 class
his averages have just been under
.295 and .297.
The following figures show how
often Mclnnis has finished between
| .301 and .307.

NEARING
HUNDRED MARK
Nk.O.'S
Plans to Make Hart, Whom He
Meets Monday, His
8oth Victim.

PHILA DE L p III A, Feb. TO-
There will be method in George
OK. o. Chaney's madness to score
Knockout over Alex Hart, Ohio
lightweight, in the final OF five
eight-round bouts at the arena next
Monday night. Should Clancy
finish Hart, a ring feat itself no
other fighter can boast, it will not
be merely just one more knock
out. What's more, 1t will enable
CLANCY to advance within eleven
K. o. conquests of an even hum
bred.
In Harrisburg on Tuesday night,
Clancy brought his knockout total
up to lightweight. Harry QXi6
Coster was his eighty-eighth VIC
tim. Incidentally, Clancy proved
to boxing fans that he is hitting
just as hard as ever.
At least, this was true during
the past week, when he scored
two knockouts, both coming in
less than a round. The first of
his victims who fingered less than
a round was frankie Rice.
When the bell sends the south
paw slugger and Hart at each
other, Clancy will have the punch
and the Ohio lightweight the sci
ence. The Maryland portsider fig
ures his punch mightier than
Harris defense, but he is not I'm
derrating the Ohio lad.
In their last meeting at the
arena, Hart finished on the long
end Of the verdict, which offset
the terrific CLANCY e punch. The
Ohioan says he knows how to fight
southpaws and will prove it against
Clancy.

Christensen Can't
High Hurdle At

The cases of Earl Thomson,
the Dartmouth wizard, and Carl
Christiernsson, the Swedish ma
tional high hurdler, are analo-
gous. Because Thomson was
born in Canada, although he
acquired his hurdling skill in
the United States, he could not
represent this country in the
Olympic games.
Christensen has also inn
proved his hurdling skill under
coaching here, but he will not
be eligible to represent the
United States at Paris in 1924,

PLANSKY AND
MARONEY
IN LINE
Young HiIItoppers Seeking to
Follow Bob LeGendre in
PentathIon.
TIP MARONEY.

It is some task trying to fill the
shoes of Bob LIE Gendre, three-time
winner of the pentathlon at the
Penn relays and victor in the same
event at the inter allied games in
Paris in 1919. But Georgetown is
not willing to let the great Phila-
delphia carnival slide by without
making a lusty effort to bring the
all-around championship back to
the Hilltop. Accordingly, Tip
Maroney and Anthony Plansky are
being groomed for the event.
Both men show great aptitude in
the events making up the pentath-
lon and seem on the basis Of past
performances to have just as good
a chance of taking the title as any
man in Eastern college ranks. Both
are splendid all-around performers,
rangy in build, and scaling in the
vicinity of 100 pounds. And there
is little to choose between the two.
Plansky has the edge on his team
mate in the 1,500-meter run and
also in the broad jump. Maroney
is the better in the discus and
javelin, while the 200-meter sprint
is largely a toss-up, as both are
speed merchants. Plansky comes
from Boston, while Maroney is a
product of Oklahoma.
At the present time Georgetown
is the holder of the beautiful pen
tathlon trophy, a sterling silver cup
of prev-Volstead dimensions, and
there is considerable desire evident
on the part of the student body to
register two more victories in this
event so that the cup may become
a permanent addition to the trophy
room of the university.
Plansky and Maroney are work
ing out daily and showing steady
improvement. Each will be seen in
action at-the Georgetown indoor
games here week from Wednes-
day, probably in the shot-put and
the sprints.
