THE history of foot racing is full
of strange cases and peculiar
incidents which bear on what
have just been saying. There is
Clarence De Mar, the ole man of the
Boston highways, who turns out every
year to pound few miles Of State
owned pavement with towel around
his head.
And there is Joey Ray, who scratched
his dogs on all the tracks of the
world before he gave up running fol
the easy and affluent life of a mara
thon dancer.
Peerless Lou Beccan, the --latest
visitor to these shores, has a good jot

city Of Milan.
Probably his work does not
compare with the work of an
earlier Milanese architect, Leon
ardO da Vinci. but it all comes
out even in the end. Lou can
run faster than Leonardo could.
He will run his first feature race
at the stadium on Columbus day
which his sponsors regard, in the
light Of Columbus nationality and
activities in these parts, as an excep-
tionally appropriate occasion. His op-
ponents will be local college boys from
Manhattan and Columbia.
They are not expected to press him
to new record for 1900 meters, but
the Italian fans will be satisfied with

They will be satisfied with Luigi as

GAMES GREATEST
BOOST IN 15 YEARS
Emotional UpheavaI Most
Marked Since Ruth Began
Home Run Orgy.
BY GRANrLAND RICE.

n TEW YORK, october 11-A
M somewhat eminent poet wrote
Y piece about the embattled
Lexington farmers who fired
shots that were heard around the
world.
The noise and the tumult of this
last world series may not have been
heard around the world, but it has
caught and held the attention of the
country from coast to coast.
1t has been the biggest boost that
base ball ever has known since
burly, bulky young fellow by the name
of Babe Ruth began hammering home
runs and splaShing the game with
color Is years ago.
There still remains the CLINT of
shining SpikeS-the flash of steel
the impact of colliding bodies-the
roar of the wrathful mob-the
hurtling beer bottle-the smear Of
blood from open wounds-the color,
the action and the emotional up
heaval that make a gay and gaudy
pageant far beyond any vital sta
tistics or final result.
The Tigers had their share of stars,

two blasting Deans, the dynamite
kids; Pepper Martin, Ducky Medwick
and Bill Delaney, the flrSt-year
catcher who had all the poise and
swagger of a 10-year veteran, riding
the crest.
Here was a series where the two
Deans came on and Pepper Martin
came back-where Medwick came in
and then went out-where Leo Du-
rocher gave one of the finest exhibi-
tions of play at short any series ever
SaW-Where Jo-Jo White, the red oak
antelope, wearing tiger skin, came
near stealing the series with his ia
nous split slide, where two flying feet
scissor out as they reach the base
with the explosive force of hand
grenade.
1t was a rough, tough, rowdy, rip
ping, slashing, mauling, "get-the-
hell-out-of-my-way" exhibition that
brought base ball back where it be-
longs
You could see the spikes of Ty Cobb
hitting flesh or dirt-the swagger of
Turkey Mike Donlin-the s1larl of
John McGraw-the poisoned barbs of
Johnny Evers-all the colorful fac
tors of the past.

Ships That Pass.

II LEFT the two young Deans on
their way to growing fame and
came back with Babe Ruth
ships that pass in the night-one out
bound for gold and adventure, the
other heading back to port. 1t was a
strange coincidence that, as Babe
Ruth announced his retirement from
active play, two kids from the cotton
wood trail should suddenly step in to
take his place and catch the headlines
from Pacific to Atlantic ports.
They are the greatest that ever
came along in my day." Babe Ruth
said. They are not only fine, smart
pitchers, but they are the type that
base ball needs
For example, in the third inning of
the final game, in the midst of win
ming seven-run rally, Dizzy Dean beat
out close one at first. AS he crossed
the bag, he turned Immediately to see
whether he had been given his hit
and, when the big H" was flashed on
the scoreboard, his smile was close to
six inches wide.
There is nothing either boastful or
offensive about either Dean-they are
two friendly, happy -go-lucky country
kids who happen to be base ball
"naturals," not only decked out with
pair of sling-shot arms, but having,
on the side, an uncanny instinct for
all the finer points of the game. In
addition to pitching, they can hit, field,
run and cover each given assignment
without a seconds delay.
asked Babe Ruth how two such
kids could have all the elements that
usually belong to experience-to years
under fire.
You have to be born that way" the
Babe said. mo one can give it to
you. Paul is 81 and Dizzy is % or "a
and they were as cool and as smart
as any veteran 1 ever saw. I don't
mind telling you they knocked me
over. And they are the two friend
1iest. politest kids I ever saw in my
life"

Especially does this appear to
be the case in regard to that
final fracas at Detroit Tuesday
and, more particularly, the
eventful sixth inning passage
affect between Marvin Owen
and Joe Medwick which melted
a noisy minority OF the fans to
a demonstration that delayed
the inevitable defeat of the
Bengals for a quarter of an hour
and led to the unprecedented
action of a player being elected
from the game.

Strain Shows on Faces.

r DON'T suppose any one really
likes to run a long distance,
though some of our most intelli-
gent athletes say they get kick out
of coasting past the field and stunb-
ling over the line in comatose con-
dition.
Certain American schools require
every student to run half a mile in a
limited amount of time to prove his
fitness. This is silly, because he's
about one-quarter as fit at the end
of the grind as he was in the first
place.
Perhaps you have studied the faces
of distance runners as they come stag
gering down the stretch. They regis
ter anguish in the best Hollywood
manner.
Glen Cunningham Is the only
one who keeps a straight face,
and 1 suspect that Glenn's pan
would remain calm in any enier-
gency, from an earthquake to a
tidal wave.
The rest Of the boys show how they
feel. A distance race can be very
exciting when viewed from the grand
stand, but it's not so pleasant to
watch the finish close up. You get
the impression that the winner is
about to burst a pair of lungs, and
you wonder If he can spare even one
lung in times like these.
There's another disadvantage to the
business of foot-racing for cash or
glory. Your glory, unless you crack
a record or two, is short-lived. Your
cash, in case you are compelled to
jab the cinders for a living, will not
carry you very far.
And II you hesitate between cash
and glory even for q minute, as Paavo

Only Two Unbeaten Teams

Clashes Listed.

N YEW YORK, october 11.-This
M business of picking candidates
Y for national foot ball cham
pionship, which provides lot
of fun for the fans every season with
out doing any real harm, apparently
will have to await the returns Of later
games this year.
A flock of early season upsets and
other beatings have taken the edge
right off this years set Of intersec-
tional contests, many Of which might
have been regarded as "naturals" in
the race for the mythical title.
Saturdays big trio of games from
the intersectionaI viewpoint are Pitts
burgh-Southern California, Stanford
Northwestern and Temple Indiana,
with Michigan State-Carnegie Tech
and Detroit Washington and Jefer-
son ranked close behind. OF these
games only Michigan State and Car
negle present pair OF unbeaten
teams and there is some doubt as to
the place of this contest in national
affairs.
The Spartans. by their 1910 triumph
over Michigan last week, took an i'm
portant position, but Carnegie has
had a pair of close calls against
Geneva and Miami of Ohio. Hence
the Techmen aren't rated as title
candidates yet.

Speedy architect Comes From Italy

Special Dispatch to The Star.
n YEW YORK, October ll.-A
nj young architect from Milan,
u Luigi Beccali, is going to try
to run the heels of some
Americans at Yankee Stadium to-
morrow.
You may remember this Beccali as
the person who won the Olympic title
In the 1,500-meter event two years
ago. He is known in Italy as Peer
less Luigi, though his friends drop
the peerless" when they speak to
him in private.
Peerless Lou is the latest Of a long
line of alien distance runners to visit
this country. The most celebrated
was Paavo Nurni, known as the flying
Finn because of his Finnish afhlia-
tions and because he could move with
great speed over sizable stretch of
ground.
They say Luigi has got every
thing that PaavO had and per-
haps a shade more.
I've often wondered just what 1t
was that Paavo had and how much
good it did him. I know he didn't
like to run.
Running is not much fun" the
nimble Morse admitted at the conclu-
sion of one of his special gallops here.

COUPLE LOSE
LIVES IN FALL

NORTHFORK, Calf. Aug. Is.
U,P)-A deep crevasSe OF a glacier
on precipitous Mt. Ritter. 10000
foot peak of the High SierraS, to-
day held the bodies of two amateur
mountain climbers who had at
tempted to scale the icy heights.
Norman Clyde, famous alpinist,
was guided by circling buzSards to
the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad
Rittenbacher, San Mateo, after
week IS search in the Minarets area.
Clyde and Benjamin Mace, for
est ranger, looked down the face OF
a high cliff. On a ledge 600 feet
below they saw the body of wom-
an. And 600 feet below that was
the body of a man. Members Of
the San Francisco German Hiking
club identified the bodies as those
of the missing couple.
The Rittenbachers were roped
together as they tried to ascend
Mt. Ritter. One of them fell, car
rying the other into the crevasse.
AS the woman's IS body came to rest
on the ledge the rope broke and
Rittenbacher fell another 900 feet.
The task of removing the bodies
was to start Immediately. 1t will
be necessary to lower man on a
rope to the body of Mrs. Ritten-
bacher. He will have TO drop the
body to the ledge where her hus-
band s body rests and then lower
both bodies on ropes to a small
meadow 700 feet below it, 1t was
believed the bodies will be buried

state on the label exactly what it
contains.
Before this ruling, even part
bran products were sometimes mis-
takenly referred to as Bran" 1t
was not easy for the purchaser to
distinguish between a cereal that
was entirely bran, or all bran with
fiavoring, and another that was
mostly wheat.

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN has won mil

generous "bulk"- needed to pro-

However, ALL-BRAN is not a
"cure-all." Certain types of intes-

only on a physicians advice.
When you buy a bran cereal, for
the relief of constipation, read the
