BARBUTTI Defeated
IN SPRINT COMEBACK

NEWARK, N. j., February 6 P.-
Ray Barbutt1, running his first COMPETE
tive race since he won the Olympic 400
meter championship, finished fifth in a
held OF i've in a 50-yard dash at the
Newark A. G. last night.

f1rst in S 3-5 seconds; Bob Talbot,
Newark A. c., second; Bob Wiese. New
York A. c., third; John Mcdonald,
Yale, fourth. and Barbutti, running
unattached, fifth.
Barbutt Jared even worse in the 60
yard event of the sprint series. His
40 pounds of bone and muscle ripped
one OF the starting blocks loose from
the floor and he was left at the post,
not even getting started. The others
finished in the same order as in the
80. Bruder being clicked at 6 AS.
DR.. Paul Martin of Switzerland, vet
eran of three Olympic games, won the
1,000-yard special.
Phil Edwards set all the early pace,
but could not stand Martins closing
sprint
Ray Conger, the national champion
at the distance, nipped Edwards at the
tape for second place. Martin was
clicked at 2:15 2-5.
Eddie Roll, Newark A. c.. showed the
way to Pete Bowen of Pittsburgh, ma
t1onal quarter-mile champion; Johnny
Gibson, Bloomfield, N. j., speedster, and
Eddie Blake Of the Boston A. A. in a
500-yard special. The time of 90 Sec
ends was fast.

potent argument for wishing
to be rid of former President

Robinson in the fact that since
the Dodgers won their last
pennant in 1920 they have
finished in the second division

But strangest of all would
seem to be the fact that despite

undergoing the final preparation
today for their battle of the
century tomorrow afternoon in
the public high school basket ball
championship series in the Tech gym
The game will begin at 3:45 o'clock and
will be followed by a clash between
Central and Western. The contests will
end scheduled series play.
Often in the current series it has
been the second game of the double
header that is the most interesting, but
it will be the opener, the Tech-Eastern
battle, which is the big spot tomorrow.
Tech can win the title by trimming
Eastern. but Eastern can tie the Nc
Kinley team for the leadership by lower
ing the Gray. Then, should Western
defeat Central in the final game of the
twin bill. three-Way tie will be created
among Tech. Eastern and Western.
Tech now has won five games and
lost two and Eastern and Western each
has won four and lost three apiece
Central and Business are definitely out
of the championship picture.
In their first series game Tech routed
Eastern, Al to 81, but whether the Gray
can repeat Is something that Is doubted
by many series followers. who point to
the fact that the Eastern team is a
much different combination than that
which faced Tech in their first game.

THERE are only two things
certain about the alleged
controversy between the
n Yankees and George
Herman Ruth. One is that
Ruth will be on the job when
the New York club opens its
season at Philadelphia next
April IS, and the other that he
will be appearing as the high
est paid performer in base ball.
Assuming for the purpose of
discussion that the making of
faces and bandying of words is
not being INDUCED in solely for
publicity considerations, there
is no doubt Ruth could stay out
of base ball and keep the wolf
from the door by no more
strenuous procedure than clip
ping coupons.
And there is little question
he could constitute himself a
