the truth became plain. One en-

found was latched on the other

house, the finish.
In Game 20 Years.
Despite Demar's runaway race, this
years field was one of the best in the
Boston marathon's history, which dates
back "a years. More than half of the
100 starters were strong enough to fin
ish inside of four hours. There were
many, however, who were forced to
withdraw along the route but persistent
stragglerS, however, continued to break
the tape until long after shutdown.
Demar, who will be AZ next June, can
recall running in IS marathon races
and winning Is of them. He took up
this Furnishing sport just 20 years ago
today. His Boston record now consists
of seven f1rsts, two seconds, two thirds
and ninth place.
Despite his age, which most of the
experts considered a bit too advanced
for marathon racing, he showed no
signs of fatigue after breaking the tape.
He weighed 1877 ponds when he took
OF from the starting mark at Hopkin-
ton and lost only pounds along the
hilly road to Boston. His feet showed
no signs of the Furnishing grind and he
had breath enough left to reply to the
praises heaped on him by his American
Legion comrades, who following their
usual custom awaited him at the finish
line with their post flags.

PLAN
OBJECT OF ATTACK
Federal Trade Commission
Seeks to Cut Income of
Stars in Athletics.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, April 19.-De-
mi termined to lend graft in
American sport" the Fed
eral Trade Commission has
launched vigorous campaign to
wipe out the practice of inducing
athletes to indorse the products
of sport goods concerns, it was
learned today.
To this end so leading companies
have requested by the commission to
send representatives to conference,
May 7, at White Sulphur Springs, w.
Va, where it is proposed to adopt set
of rules designed to end the indorse-
ment system.
Such development would mean a
drastic cut in the income of such stars
Of the sport world as Babe Ruth, Hor-
ton Smith, Johnny Farrell and Gene
Sarazen. Even some of the amateurs
would be affected.
It is estimated that Babe Ruth alone
derives an annual revenue of $4,000
by indorsing various articles, including
eatables and wearables as well as sport
equipment.
The commission apparently is con-
fining the present probe to houses deal
ing in athletic goods. Whether con-
later was not made known.
Issued secretly by M. Markham
Flannery, director of the trade prac-
tices conferences of the commission, the
call to attend the White Sulphur
| Springs session was addressed to the
golf, base ball and general athletic
goods industry"
Last year one sports goods company
paid $370,000 in athletic graft" said
the notice.
This conference will eliminate this
graft. It's purpose is to give all sports
goods companies an opportunity to par
ticipate in deliberations which will
eliminate all unfair, wasteful and graft
! ing practices"
Specific practices cited were:
Giving athletic equipment to per-
sons engaged in sport on condition they
use only the equipment of the concern
| giving such goods, or recommend its
equipment.
Secretly paying or substituting ath-
letes to use only the equipment of par
| ticular concerns.
Advertising that the winners of
competitions used the goods of par
ticular concern without noting the OBJ
| legation to use such equipment.
Giving athletic equipment to those
employed in positions of trust as in
structors or advisors on condition that
the goods be recommended by such per-
sons b
Use of names of prominent athletes
on goods"
Under the code of rules contemplated
the Federal Trade Commission would
proceed against sports goods house
upon the complaint of rival. The
athlete also probably would be sum-
moned. Garland F. Ferguson. jr., COM
mission chairman, is to preside at the
! conference.

~ OSTON, April 19.-The stunning
K feet of Clarence Demar, vet
eran Melrose runner, today were
strong enough to carry him to
his seventh Boston Marathon victory
in 10 years.
This amazing athlete, favored by his
special brand of sultry weather, ran a
field of 100 starters deep into the
ground and was in command of the tor
turouS race from start to finish.
Demar set time goal of 2 hours 80
minutes for the rs miles. 385 yards. but
finished in 2:34:462, less than min
utes slower than the course record, be-
cause there was no competitor strong
enough to push him over the last few
miles.
Willie Kyronen of the Finnish-Amer-
lean A. G. of New York, finished second
by jumping his teammate, Karl Koski.
The outstanding favorite, during the
last mile and trotted home about 400
yards behind Demar in 2:36:27,8 Kosk1,
who trailed the victor during most OF
the second half of the race. came third
and was timed in 2:38:21.8.
Canadians Among Leaders.
The next two to finish were Cana
dams, Harold Webster of Hamilton,
Ont, was fourth in 2:39:274; Gabriel
RuotSaloinen of Montreal was fifth in
2:41 :05, and sixth place went to Ronald
b. O'Toole of st. johnson, N. F., whose
time was 2:41: 55.8.
The others finishing in the first 10
were John ID. Semple of Philadelphia,
seventh; Jimmy Henigan of Boston,
eighth; Silas M. Lellan of Noel, N. S.,
ninth. and Gordon A. Norman OF NAL
den. tenth. Theodore Gait OF Boston,
who has taken part in several of these
Boston races, was the tenth to cross
the finish line, but he was disqualified
when officials discovered that he had
not been checked at one of the sta
tions.
Norman was followed home by the
other two previous winners, Johnny
Miles of Hamilton Ontario, and old Bill
Kennedy Of Port Chester, N. Y. They
ran the last mile hand in hand and
broke the tape together, but the timers
