It's a long way from one end OF the
United States to the other, so it
isn't a wonder that America has
turned out some Of the greatest long
distance the worlS has ever
seen.
Probably the most remarkable man
in the marathon business today i
Joie Ray, the fleet, though small.
Chicagoan. Joie began as a dash
man, and after great success at the
shorter distances went into retire
ment. Then he returned to action
again. but this time as a long dis
lance runner, and today is Americas
best hope in the long runs.
Joie's short legs have hesvy duty In
the 0lympics TO beat sum men as
A. o. Ctenroos. Of Finland, and h.
Bertini, of Italy.
In the last Olympies America
pinned its hopes to Clarence DeMari
and he came in third, trailing the two
foreigners mentioned. However, De-
Mar is no SLOUGH. The veteran is one
Of the best marathon runner the
United States has had in a long time.
Besides Ray and DeMar, America
possesses such runners as Albert
Nicholson, Harvey Frick, Bill Agee
and Jimmy Henigan- Yes. sir. Uncle
SSam is we'll taken care Of in this de-
partment.
II a foreign country is going 10 win
the marathon there vii have TO be
some tall running done.
In the middle distances at Amster-
dam il all looks like Lloyd Hahn, who
can show a clean and speedy pair Of
heels to virtually all of the rest Of
the world.
Hahn looks like a ~stand-out in the
500 meters. He may do something,
too. IN the l.50O-meter event, but the
500 in his dish. lie recently broke
the national record for the ss0-yard
event and should 20 great guns in the
s00-meter, If past performance means
anything.
Hahn has beaten Europe's greatest
threat. Or. Otto Peltzer. in an indoor
race here last winter. And he should
also be able to hold his own against
the other great European runners,
which are almost sure to include
Edwin Wide. Paavo Nurmi and this
Seraphin Martin of France.

FIGHT FOR ALL
But FIRST IS
HOTLYFOUCHT
Gehrig, Lazzeri Hit
Homers in Yankee
Double Win; Cards
Split Twin Bill
By HERBERT w. BARKER
Associated Press Sports Writer


While the Yankees lead their
closest rivals in the American league
by IL l-2 games, and the Cards are
ahead in the National by three and
a half, most Of the other clubs are
battling for positions as close 20
the leaders as possible. The stand
ings. from second place down, show
one or more shifts almost daily and
threaten 10 continue TO do so until
the final curtain.
In the American league, only
IL 1-2 games separate Detroit in last
place from Philadelphia in second.
In the National the Giants, in run
ner-up position. lead the Pittsburgh
Pirates in sixth by eight and a half
games. Boston and Philadelphia APP
parently doomed to the last
two notches in the standing, are
staging a private duel to escape the
cellar with the Braves two games in
front at this stage.
The Yankees Sunday removed
what doubt, if any, remained as 70
their ability to beat the Athletics
just about as often as they wish.
Both ends Of a doubleheader went to
the champions, ~ 70 6 and S 70 &.
Lou Gehrig hit two home runs in
the first game, his seventeenth and
eighteenth Of the season, and Tony
Lazzeri duplicated the feat in the
nightcap. Henry Johnson and Waite
Hoyt were the winning pitchers, it
being the formers third victory over
the As in eleven days.
The st. Louis Browns failed TO
axe advantage Of his double reverse
for the Athletics for they permitted
Detroit to score five runs in the
eighth inning and a to ( triumph at
Detroit. The standing shows the
Browns only two and a half games
back Of the As.
George Burns homer with two on
in the sixth gave Cleveland the YER
dict over the Chicago White Sox, )
70 2. The Indians announced the un-
conditional release of Garland Buck
eye, mammoth right-hander, who has
failed to round into form this sea-
son.
Boston moved to within a single
game Of the fourth place Indians By
taking Washington into camp twice,
2 to l and Z to /.
The National league program saw
the Cardinals end all square after a
double-header with DOME Bush's
Corsairs of Pittsburgh. Fred Fus-
sell blanked the Cards in the first
game, 2 70 0. The Cards made four
errors and were outhit II to II in
the second but pulled it out of the
fire, s TO s, chiefly because home
runs BY Frisch and Bottomley and
five doubles were in their hit coll

A new plan for disposal Of the
surplus of the Citizens Gas Com

was devised and put into effect
today by the public service commits
sion. The commission altered the

developed that the company could
get much higher price than SO

denied the sale petition and the

Quoted thus:
Exchange the new stock for the
old and sell the balance at the best
price obtainable, but not less than
SO per cent of par.
