 AS Washington tied up the game, sending it into extra innings, he be- gan to pcrk up. Apparently some thing had happened to stir up the Babes enthusiasm.
 When neither side scored in the tenth inning, the Babe began to shift around in his seat in decidedly restless manner.
 As the eleventh session finished without either club breaking the tie, Babe showed positive signs of being excited. l was curious as to what t was all about.
 At the start of the twelfth inning, which proved to be the final one of the game. I decvided to start con- vcrsation which would enable me to find out why Babe had suddenly be- come so interested after his laconic attitude of the early innings.

CORNELL STAR TO
 MEET NURMI NOW
Kirby Races Yonisht..Finn
 Breaks Another Record
By The Associated Pres.

By The Associated Press. New York, Feb. 5.--Eddle Kirby. product of Cornell, whi will be pitted against Paavo Nurmi in a 3OoO-me- ire race Saturday, appeared to be running an exceptional race in the mile and one-half event at the New ark A, c. games last night, yet his time was fully ,19 seconds slower than the record established by the man he hopes to conquer in Brook lyn at the Wilco A. c. meet.
 Kirby might have improved his time to some extent, for he was con- tent 10 trail Andy Craw of New York until three laps from the end when he assumed the lead and ran away from all opposition.
 Out of doors, in the S00-metre team race at the Olympic games last summer, Kirby was the first Ameri- can to finish. Three Films and two Britons were ahead of him, and the leading Finn was Nurmi. Willie Ri- tola, running for Finland, followed lis celebrated countryman across the line. Then came c. MacDonald and H. A. Johnson of Great Britain and F. Katz of Finland.
 Nurmi, from what he has shown since his arrival in America, is as much at home indoors as he is on the cinders, which leads to the con- clusion that Kirby will have trouble following the flying feet of the peer less Paavo. The American has an opportunity to see his intended vic- tim in action last night--a race in which Nurmi shattered the mark for 4O00 yards set up by the great Eng lishman,- n,--Alfred Shrubb, 20 years ago. The Finn made the distance in 10:55, but failed to reach the end of 21s miles in anything like the time established by Willie Ritola, at Madison Square Garden the night be- fore.
 Loren Murchison, member Of the home club, was the outstanding star of the Newark meet winning the two short sprints over Harold (Boots) Lever, Johnny Rawlings and Jack son V. Schol., and winding up the night by running anchor in a victory | for his club over four other organi- zations which included the Boston A. A.

As Ugo Frigerio of Italy, 1 Olympic champion, now visiting the United States, was not among those i present, Phil Granville of Canada had the field to himself and won cas- fly from scratch.
 Nurmi in eclipsing Shrubb's out
 door mark, was timed at the 1000. metre distance in II minutes, 55 S.5 I seconds, which will stand as a rec ord for that distance there being nc previous figures.
