Stewart was out of the Stenog line

Neither team resorted much to
scientific basketball. For the major
portion of the playing time. the
players were dribbling and shoot

Such a game made the play faster
that is usually seen in the high
schools. Long shots were attempt

WILL PUT
DECATHLON
On LIST

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.-The
pentathlon, which for a decade has
been one OF the feature events Of
the annual University of Pennsyl-
vania relay carnival, will be re-
placed this year by the decathlon.
The action Of the Olympic COM
mittee in removing the pentathlon
from the list of events and making
the decathlon the test of all-around
championship has caused DR..
George OrtOn, director of the relay
carnival, to make the change.
That the pentathlon served it's
usefulness In developing athletes to
represent this country in the all
around championships was demon
strated by the victories Of Ameri-
can college athletes in both the
decathlon and pentathlon.
The first five of these events will
be held on Friday, April "a, and the
others on the following day. Nor
ton, of Georgetown, who was second
to Osborne in the Olympic all
around championships; Jones, of De-
Pauw University. and Rogers, Of
Pennsylvania, are among the most
prominent entrants for the decath-
lon.
In the ten years of pentathlon
championships, Howard Berry, of
Pennsylvania, was the only athlete
to win the title with five first
places. He performed this unusual
feat in 1917.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.-George Har-
old Sisler is now officially the
manager of the Browns for an
other year.
At a conference with Magnate P.
de c. Ball at st. Johns Hospital
yesterday Sisler affixed his sigma
ture to a contract to continue in
the saddle during the 1925 season.
The new document, it became
know0. is only for one year.
While no official announcement
out of headquarters has been made
of the negotiations between mag
nate and manager also is reported
that the salary calls for stipend
of $4,000.
AS the story goes Sisler wanted
Ball to toss in another blue chip or
so which led to slight delay be-
fore the pen reached the dotted
line, but everything ended happily
and the Michigan Marvel is again
at the wheel.
Sisler opened his managerial
career last season with more or
less success. Until his pitching
staff failed the Browns were in
the race and at one time were
knocking at the top of the race.
During the preceding campaign
Sisler did not play owing to his
sinis trouble. Joining the Browns
in 1916 he became the greatest first
baseman in baseball and holds the
American League batting record for
a single season.

Sounds Like Boastful Joie

By DAVID J. WALSH,
L. N. s. Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Afte1
due deliberation and an elaborate
drafting of a time schedule that
would reflect no discredit upon
limited trains, Paavo Nurmi has
proclaimed his intention of STEP
ping two miles in nine minutes
flat or better, breaking all existing
records for the distance by more
than eight seconds.
The great Finn made this an
nouncement today through officials
Of the Wilco A. A. under the aus.
pices Of which the seemingly i'm
possible attempt will be made two
weeks hence.
Joie Ray will be one Of Paavo's
opponents on the occasion in ques.
ton. Joie not only has suffered
the indignation Of two defeats by
American indoor tracks, but has
seen six Of his worlds records
pass into the great beyond via
the same agency. If Paavo makes
good his nine-minute attempt, Ray
will suffer again.
He has the worlds indoor rec

NOGALES, Ariz., Jan. 23.-
Baseball is being received with
enthusiasm on the west coast of
Mexico and bids fair to be the
most popular sport in the coun-
try, according to Pete Arzate

The players said a stadium

Johnny Tobin Ruins
Browns Outfield
Record

When Johnny IoD1n, OF the
Browns, hit .299 last season he
ruined an unusual baseball rec
ord. For five straight years the
st. Louis Americans outfield,
consisting of Kenneth Williams,
William jacobson and Tobin,
had hit better than 300. Each
season every one of the three
regular outfielders was we'll up
in the 300 class. In 1924 Will
liams batted 1924 and Jacobson
got an average of .318, but
Tobin, by missing the 800
mark by a single point, broke
the run of the outfield trio.
larkey, If 1t wasn't for the fact
that Nurmi is Nurmi.
HE can do anything he claims
he can," w. G. George, former
holder of the mile record. told the
writer in London following the
Olympic games. "It is my opinion
that he can run a mile In four
minutes"
1t would seem to follow that any
man who can step a mile in four
minutes can double the distance
in nine. To do so he will have
to travel at the rate of twenty
feet a second, an almost incredi-
BILE pace In view Of the fact that
a sprinter turning 100 yards in
ten seconds is moving just thirty
feet second on the average. Yet
Nurni has maintained this pace
before in distance races.
In this instance his attempt
viii be made i'm the WilcO 5000
meter special. It was i'm this
event two years ago that Ray
turned two miles i'm worlds rec
ord time after passing the 5000
metre mark in S:31 Is, another
record.
At the time this was looked upon
as unassailable but 1t is a mere
in Nurmi's plans. His
schedule calls for him to run
through the distance in 500 which
would make Rays record appear
slightly i'll. Nurmi, of course, has
bettered the mark by run
ming 8:26 AS, since arriving here
but the record is yet to be tend
cred the formaIity of official ac-
ceptance.
That it will be honored is just
rs inevitable as the fact that Nurmi
must break the record at IL miles
and all intermediate distances to
two miles If he can adhere to his
schedule. II he does, a gala night
will ensue, the greatest in the
history Of track and field athletics.

PRIVATE CAPITAL SOUGHT
TO AID SOVIET INDUSTRIES

ow-P)-Problems Of inter
nal trade are now engaging the
closest attention of the Soviet gov
eminent. The recent conference of
the Communist Party and the Fed.
eral Congress of Soviets passed a
number of reforms to facilitate pri-
vate trade and to attract private cap
ital to general trade and industry.
The government has found, after
many years of war upon private
trade, that private capital in Russia
does not exceed 100000 rubles. The
trade turnover hardly reaches g.
OOO,OOO,O0O rubles year.
Moscow, which is considered the
biggest trade center in the Soviet
Federation, made trade turnover
last year Of 100000 rubles. The
bulk of this sum falls upon state
and cooperative trade. SO per cent
of the Moscow industries are in the
hands of the state and only seven
per cent is in the hands Of cooper
ative and private concerns. Private
manufacturers in Moscow employ
only about 10000 workmen, which is
only 1.3 per cent of the total number
of workers engaged in Moscow in
dustry.
