i RITOLA PROVES HE IS THE GREATEST
 } MILLER OF ALL
By JACKSON V. SCHOLZ United Press staff Correspondent Special Dispatch to The AEe- HeraId,D

Herald.D
 NEW YORK. March Willie Ritola, the flying Finn. contributed a new record to the world last night a record testifyins that Ritola is the greatest three-mle runner that ever lived.
 In the eyes of the thousands that watched, he accomplished the im- possible.
 Fitted against Joie Ray, the king of middle distance men, he was con ceded only an outside chance as the two runners started from scratch on the long heart breaking grind.
 Ritola was nervous for the first half mile, as was evidenced by his attempt to match his stride with Joie. who set tremendous pace in an apparent effort to break the Films endurance in the early stages of the race. Finally, however, Ritola warmed and fell into his awkward, numbering gait, which kept him al ways on the heels of the little Chi cagoan. Joie was running like a well oiled watch and it seemed in- credible that mere flesh and blood could stand the terrific punishment of pace which seemed to increase rather than diminish.
 The final was reached and the gun fired as the great crowd held it's breath in the realization that it was witnessing one of the most magnifi- cent races ever contested between men.
 Joie, at the report of the pistol. lunged forward with that courage which has made him the idol of the fans, but Ritola too had something left and they raced side by side into the home stretch.
 Ritola won by inches. He accom- plished the impossible. He out sprinted Joie Ray. His time was IA minutes and 45 seconds. A new out door and indoor record.

4. A. U. DISCIPLINES
 ERRING ATHLETES

NEW YORK, March Lone cham pion lost his title, two amateur box CTS banished. and other athletes were disciplined by the registration com mittee of the A. A. U. tonight during closed session. in which 80 promi- nent stars of the track and ring were called on the carpet.
 Louis Wettles, Morningside A. C., who won the Metropolitan 60-yard junior championship last week, va cated his title on request of the com mittee, when it was revealed that he had failed to have his registration card renewed for the meet. He was suspended until he returned the championship medal, which will go to Harry Rawlings. Long Island A. C., who finished second
 Frank Houlihan. Rachels' club, and Frank Singlewalk, St. Bartholomew's s club, were banished as amateur box CTS on charges of professionalism.
 Willie Ritola. noted Finnish run ner, was questioned regarding his failure to appear at the Brooklyn College club games, where his name had been entered. Ritola declared he had not entered the meet and the hearing was continued pending an Investigation
 Miss Camelia Sable of Newark, in- ternational hurdle champion. and Miss Adelaide Geherig, Few York were cautioned against advice to would-be athletes in newspapers
 Robert (Bob) McAllister, the "fly- ing cop" was unable to appear, as he was on duty. He will be ques- Ntioned later.

him. He made the spectators go wild in his mighty fury to gain back the foul penalties imposed on his team mates during the first half which were responsible for Alabama obtain ing the lead. Smith, Eammonds and Wilkes assisted the little fellow in bringing about the Alabamians downfall.
 Stabler, for Alabama, tossed In II foul goals during the contest and al most placed himself solid for the honors of the highest point scorer during the tournament. Carter made three beautiful field goals.
 Redd Leads 'Noosn.
 Chattanooga's quintet displayed a combination of speed and accuracy in it's game against Virginia. Captain Redd, for the Tcnnesseans, appears to have the ability of tossing the ball in the basket from any angle. Eight field goals and six foul goals were all in the days work for the 'Noogans skipper, while his teammate, Barnes, tailed seven field goals.
 Rhodes kept down the 'Noogans lead with all around playing and with three field and six foul goals to his credit. Virginia was not up to standard and in no way appeared like the team which eliminated Wander bilt yesterday.

life. They are carried away with hero worship and marry some girl who really seeks the lmelight more than the love of the young fellow. There have been many cases of that kind. As rule ball players marry some girl with whom they have been brought up in the little home town. It is seldom that divorce cases grow out of that kind of marriage.
 "There Goes My Deariew
 These foolish wives or sweethearts who sit in the stand and yell out en- dearing encouragement to their hus- lands arc genuine distraction. They not only embarrass the player but often make it very uncomforta ble for those about them in the stands.
 You can we'll imagine the feelings of a player when he leaves the bench to go to bat at critical moment and suddenly hear a soprano voice from the stands scream out:
 There goes my dearie,'
 It is the real wholesome woman of good hard, common sense who helps the ball player to success. Off, ten they have been my very helpful allies in getting a player to improve his work or to take care of himself.
 On one occasion there was a pitch CT who suffered many defeats through lack of control. His wife went with him on the spring train I ing trip. He knew his failing but did not have the patience to cor rect it. His wife. knowing what was required took charge of him during his off hours and insisted upon him putting in so much practice in the l court back of the hotel
 Wives on Trips.
 As a rule l do not approve wives accompanying their baseball hus- bands on the road trips. They seem to distract his attention. Again, a lot of wives, when thrown together | in such close association, are bound to talk and gossip over what they have heard While they mean no harm the husbands are often wor- ried over this. They learn of things about other players that otherwise would not have interested them. For ttat reason 1 think it bad prac- l tice to have number of wives travel with a team.
 On the other hand I have insisted on certain players taking their wives with them. Some harum scarum young fellows can be con- trolled by nobody but their wives.
 I had one very excellent player who would not keep in condition un- less his wife was around to look after him. He would drink, play cards late at night and lose inter est in his work.
 One year he wrote me for hi. transportation to the training camp I wired back that l would sent transportation for two. Privately wrote the wife that it was important to the club that she come along. Sht did and the young fellow had a goot year.
 I have received dozens of Ques tions to be answered on this sub jcct. but nobody is going to traY me into saying whether I think [ ball player should be married oi single. If l said that they ought no to get married every kid on the clul would immediately begin thinking about that girl. Then would SC some lively letters from some ol the wives. l fear.

BELLE ARE HEIGHTS, Fla. March Miss GIenna Collett, the ma : tional womans golf champion, played a unique shot today when she played over moving railroad train, which afforded her another kind of haz- ard.

Tech entered the game as a flaw aorite but the Georgia five fought Hhard and never gave up until the final whistle. Both teams played brilliant ball all during the game. Techs offense and defense work was too much for Georgia during the first perio q and the university crew was only able to register seven points to sixteen for the "Yellow Jackets"

 The Virginia Polytechnic institute team is early tonight travelling home ward with the scalp of the Vanderbilt university in it's belt. and mighty sting of defeat in other parts.
 The University of Chattanooga won to 23. It was too much Redd for V F. I. to swallow and the Chattanoo- gans had little trouble in gaining it's victory.
 Alabama Had Early Lead.
 Mercer started off slow and at the end of the first period. Alabama was leading, 14 to Il. "Slim" Carter, for Alabama, baffled the Baptists during the initial period. He was absent from the lineup at the beginning of the second half and the Mercer team came back full of confidence. Field goals by Harmon. Smith and Wilkes tied the score and another from the hands of Lenky C"Red'o Simmons tipped in eff the jump sent the Macon outfit into the lead and from then they were never headed.
