JO|E RAY AGAIN
 IN LOSING RACE
Beaten in Marathon by His
 0lympics Rival

New York. Oct. 22 N-somebody always is taking the joy out of life for "Chesty Joie" Ray. When Joie was a miller it was Paavo Nurmi the famous Finn. At the marathor distance its Ell Ouaft, the little dark skinned. wire-haired Arab.
 Making his professional running debut, Ray, once king of American milers, was distanced by Fl Ouaft who repeated. by a decisive margin, his triumph over the little Chicago an in the Olympic marathon at Am- sterdam this summer. The Algerian's [ time was 1:44:56 2-5.
 For 22 miles of the long grind. Ray appeared to have an excellent chance of reversing the verdict at Amsterdam just as Dorando Pietri did in 1908 over Johnny Hays, who was awarded the 1908 Olympic marathon crown after Dorando col. lapsed short distance from the fin. ish and was disqualified when friends dragged him acroas the line. porando, however, obtained his re- venge when he beat Hayes in the old Madison Square Garden later in the same year.
 Not 50 Ray. The gallant little runner hung like a shadow to the spike-legged Arab for more than a score of miles. but in the end Ell Ouafi's superior stamina told. Ray began to falter on the 23rd mile and the Arab. sensing his condition. im- mcdiatefy, heightened his stride and soon picked up a full lap on the American. Before the punishing grind of 2e miles, 3S5 yards was completed, Fl Ouan had stretched his advantage to close upon three laps.
 Seven others started with Ray and Fl Ouafi, but only Arthur Newton. Of South Africa. Juri Lossman, Of Esthonia and Sam Richman, of New York, were able to finish.
 Ell Ouafi collected 5000 for his winning efforts: Ray el.o0o for sec- ond place: Newton. $750 for third: Lossman $500 for fourth, and Rich man, $260 for fifth.

there was glory enough for all in the rival lines.
 For Brown. FosartyS accurate passes. Marsan's brilliant catches of them. and some long runs by Sub- Quarter c. Monroe were features, while lineman. named Flora, leaps ed from obseurity by coming out ok pile on the ten-yard line with a Yale fumbled and lugging the ball for 50 yards before being caught.
 The game was one for blood. Players on both sides tackled as If they meant it, and there was quick piling up after a tackle. That feel ing existed between the teams was evidenced on several occasions by wordy encounters between players. while on one occasion Brown man, forced out of bounds. made a swing at the nearest Yale player and was roundly booed by the Blue cheering section. which continued to give Brown the Bronx cheer" thereafter.
 Summing up, it can be said that Yale's first team is in almost top form and should give Army a hard battle this Saturday, especially since few of the players saw much serv- ice against Brown and there was little chance for even such slight but slowing injuries as bruises. And there is much good reserve material being developed-material which is not yet as excellent as the first string, but which is showing much more than occasional flashes of promise. It is usually on it's great body of good material and its stick ing to steady football that gives Yale victories, and Coach Stevens is following in the steps of his pre- deceSSar in these matters

RUTH THROUGH
 AS THE GREATEST
tceatiau.d from Preceding Pass,

(ceatiAusd from Preceding .Pass) other game of his carses. fAsrs q. ways before had bssn . csytain dig- nity about the way hs accepted D. paause.
 You might cay that hs vas out there to show up those who had mourned late in the season when he want hitting . halleen and hardly could walk that he was through. Perhaps he was showing them up. He never will admit that hs int as rood physically n ever. Ball play. ers never do. Ordinary humans seldom.
 His Legs An 0ono
 But his intimate pals and sood friends on the Yankee hall club think that his legs have gone. And that is another way of saying that he is through.
 Ills legs have been going for some time. And considering the weight of their burden and the punishment they have taken they have been . long time going. Cobb lasted longer, yes. And 10 did Speaker and Col lins. But they weren't built out of proportion like the Babe with . heavyweight wrestler's trunk on chorus girls ankles.
 The Babe hardly could walk through the last games of the reg ular season. and it was only tho tn. spiration of . big moment that kept him moving in the series. There l. a long season coming for rest. 1t h true. but legs the age of the Babes don't como back. And the Babe is not resting. He b out barnstorm- ing. The Yankees didn't want him to do it, but they knew better than to ask and didn't feel like command ing. He is not transforming for money. He is enjoying himself at the only recreation he loves.
 No Rest in 6eason
 The real hard test was applied ts the Babe last season for the first time. He had to play through the whole season without rest. And he broke down terribly under the strain. In previous years. by mis- fortunes which did him no good, he got rest of two or three tweeka. but this year he had to pound his legs up and down until they all but fell off him.
 His friends on the ball club think that he will not be able to play an- other season regularly. and the Yankee management is said to be making plans accordingly and h seeking first-class regular alter nate for him.
 The Babe always will be able to hit. Cobb still can hit, and 70 can McGraw, but the Babe isn't hitting like he did. The infielders play in for him. They don't fear any more that they will be killed If tho ball doesn't go out of the park. The balls he didn't knock out of the lot in St. Louis dropped where Douthlt would have fielded them if he had been in position.
 A1uS lhVy otC PStttto oS@AAo ShS - sue. The tipoff is that Babe in recent years always has had . limp. And the limp gets worse.
 The big fellow is not ready for the minors. He'll never 90 there. When he's through with the ma b'rs he won't have to work. and he'll never consent to be anything but head-liner.
 He has another year to serve on his 70,000-a-year contract and he'll serve 1t out. but the ball players think he will serve 1t out as 8 very good ball player but not as the Babe. the greatest that ever lived.
 No one need worry about the Babes future. But 1t won't seem like baseball when he is gone and you can't say to your neighbor:
 T see the Babe smacked another one today."

On the next play Leone took q pass and scored. but Romanis. . fellow backfield man was holding and the ball was brought back and 16-yard penalty was tackled on Coach Boyle's eleven.
 Romanis was nailed for a three yard loss at the line but again the team returned to it's forward passing attack and again this means of at- tack was effective. Hanrahan caught a pass on his 20-yard line and then caught another on his 1s-yard line, but tho total yardage did not bring a first down because of the penalties and losses.
 The ball was on New Britain's 3s- yard line when New Britain regained possession. Stamford was given . 15-yard penalty for holding and the ball was in midncld.
 Leone and Henderson. . colored end. took part in the feature play of the afternoon when the former threw a beautiful forward pass to the end who caught 1t on New Brit aims 15-yard line and scored with out trouble.

HooSier to Tell of Hoover
Campaign; Watson Next
on List.
BIZ Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The en-
tire story OF the recent Indiana
campaign between Secretary Her
bert Hoover and Senator James E.
Watson may be laid before the SEN
atorial campaign fund investigating
committee today.
George B. Lockwood, formerly of
Muncie, who apparently WAS the
chief factor in Secretary Hoover's
Washington headquarters, so far as
the Indiana campaign was con-
cerned, was to be called and SEN
ator Watson was to be heard, if time
permitted.
j. w. Good, in general charge of
the Hoover offices here, estimated
yesterday for the committee, that
about $4,000 or $4,000 was spent
for Hoover in Indiana. Details had
not yet reached him from Oscar E.
Foellinger of FIT. Wayne, the State
Hoover manager, hesaid, and he
promised to lay the detailed figures
before the committee as soon as
Foellinger forwarded them.
Good said Lockwood was in much
closer touch with Indiana than he,
and might give the committee some
details today.
1t is clear, however, that the IN
diana effort cost Hoover about one
sixth of his total expenditures to
date, estimated by Good at about
$3.50 900, with few State organi-
cations not yet reproting.
Good said Lockwood did all the
comforting with Indiana leaders of
the Hoover campaign, because of his
mountaineering in the State. He
denied that Lockwood or himself
received a salary for services in be-
half of Hoover. Lockwood, he said,
was in general charge Of Hoover

WHEAT OPENS HIGHER
Corn FIuCtuates and Oats
Advances at Chicago.
PM United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, May 12.-Mixed senti-
ment and cratic trading sent wheat
higher at the opening this morning.
Corn fuctuated and oats advanced.
Provisions were lower.
Wheat was up q to q cents; corn
was off % to Il cents gain; and
oats we're unchanged to 20 cent
higher.
Wheat has had break of 20 cents
in two weeks and the price has now
reached a point where support is
more ready. Trading is cratic with
sentiment mixed on the outcome of
the new crop. Liverpool was weaker
than expected this morning, and
there was no change in wheat con-
ditions.
Corn planting is progressing rapid
ly and between so and 80 per cent is
in the ground. Prices depend large
ly on receipts at terminal points.
The new oats crop is not making
sufficient Roadway, traders believe
and the old crop is decreasing
rapidly.
