PHILADELPHIA. Jan. "A. -
Browning Ross. vilIanova's pint
sized flash WHO ran q sensational
4:1s.7 mile to win the Junior Board
of Commerce Mile in The Evening
Star games at Washington January
3, matched strides last night with
the best milers in the country in the
Inquirer meet and came within a
foot of taking top honors.
There has been a bit Of murmur-
ing about Ross victory in Wash
ington andthe time he made, skep-
tics raising the point that no curb
ing had been placed about the inside
of the curves of the SLAP National
Guard Armory track which is des-
tined to make The Evening Star
Games famous.
Brownie set all doubts at rest last
night when he put on a final sprint
which he started a bit too late and
came within q foot of nosing Penn
States Gerald Karver out of the
victory. Jack Milne of North Caro-
lima took an early lead and held 1t
for the greater part of the race with
Ross rating himself along nicely in
third place. Karver was back in
fifth place, but moved out in front
along about the sixth lap and never
was headed. ..-. ,--..... p
Runners Pickup Speed.
Les MacMitchell Of the New York
A. c., holder of the record for the
mile on the 12-lap track, 4:14.1,
made in 1916, was well back toward
the rear Of the field but turned loose
a sprint which brought the crowd
roaring to its feet. Ross also picked
up speed, but Karver lasted long
enough to break the tape with both
Ross and MacMitchell practically
breathing down his neck.
The time was 4:16.3.
Others in the mile were Bill Hulse,
whom Ross beat in Washington,
Tommy Quinn and Tarver Perkins,
the Illinois A. c. ace.
It was evident that In spite of the
wooden track permitting spikes and
the banked turns, the 12-lap track
does not offer the opportunity for
speed that the Armory SLAP track
makes possible. There was consider
able elbowing and the runner on the
inside had a tremendous advantage.

On the Other Hand
Question Is, What Will Dewey Do,
Now That Congress Has the Ball?

York governor would be simple-not
easy, but simple. He would club the
stubborn members of the Republican
majority into line and force them to
recognize the need for corrective
measures. He would make it clear
that any hope for the return Of the
Republican Party to full control Of
the Government depended on such
action. He could show them how the
private polls throughout the coun-
try are now running against the
party.
But the situation is not normal.
There is the revolt in the Southern
section of the Democratic Party and
there is the new Progressive Party,
promising to take more Democratic
than Republican votes. These two
factors may offer Gov. Dewey an in
vitation to inaction and he may ac-
cept the invitation. He {nay decide
to keep his hands off and hope for
the best. He may make himself be-
lieve there is no harm the Congress
can inf1ict that a good dose Of
Dewey elocution won't cure.
He may, but I doubt it. For one
thing, Gov. Dewey can't do much
taking until Congress stops doing
same and the President, who has
demonstrated that he can be just as
stubborn as Congress, can keep the
lawmakers here from now till New
Years if he wants to.
