will be a total of about seven
or eight cripples all told, but
the others are there just to-
make it look hard for Joie and
Paw.
These lads are so fast they
can't run in doors unless they
are right back of a street
sprinkler. When their ankles
start throwing off sparks the
fire department usually follows
Immediately behind.
The peculiar thing about these
two snails is they always run
like they were in a hurry to
quit. Nurmi is a Finn and is
rumored to have three speeds
forward and no reverse.
Somebody tried to interest
Joie Ray in a set of four-wheel
brakes and he told 'em he'd
talk business when he got to
the old mems home and needed
to ride in a wheel chair.
The Finn is essentially an out
door perambulator and isn't at
his best when riding on a tread
mill. If he can learn to swing
his elbows within the narrow
confines of Madison Square
Garden he might get by.
So, if Ray has any advantage
one way or the other, it is be-
cause he knows every splinter. on
the track. He knows more than
that. He has a speaking ac-
quaintance with every brick in
the garden and the eve-swallows
are all his guardian angels.
At least Joie has made so
bold as to say that while he
may not beat Nurmi, he will
know he's been in a race. And
that statement goes for them
both!

the turning club imparts an over

the danger in this IS that about

Driving into the wind is an art.
Golfers who learn their game on
the other side of the Atlantic
have a great deal of wind to
overcome, and so they go about
it mechanically.
What most golfers believe to
be the case is just the reverse
in a wind shot. Experts build a
high tee and hit the ball on the
downward sweep. The club, as
a rule, does not reach the bot
tom Of the arc until it has gone
about a foot past where the ball
was teed-then there is a flat

Zone Along Border.
Gen. Spears explained that his plan
would call for blishment of a de
nilitarized zone between France and
Germany, in so far as it affected those
countries. and the giving up by then,
of strip of land along their com
mon border for this purpose. The
French land cession, he said, could
not be as wide as that contributed by
Germany because of the proximity of
Paris to the border.
