Ritola Easy Victor in Ten-Mile Metropolitan Championship Run Over Brooklyn Course
Junior Champion Cel?brales
Return to Track by Winning
Finn Runner Leads Field From the Start and
Breaks the Tape Five Hundred Yards in
Front of Frank Titterton, Molunvk Entry
By Jack Masters
William Ritola, former Finnish-American A. C. star and present
junior cross-country champion, returned to the track yesterday after?
noon, after an absence of several months, and made a show of his com?
pany in udnnintr the first annual metropolitan ten-mile championship, held
under the auspices of the Park End A. C, at McGoldrick Field, Brooklyn.
The slender Fina led the field from-??
the start, and at the end of the long '
run, when I1?3 terrific pace had cooked
Ke nein of nine of the finest distance
runners in th~ F.ast, this little athlete,
who was reported to have seen his
best days on the track and path, -vas!
timed ?n 0:54:412-5. ttitola finished
?"00 yards ahead of Frank Titterton,
Mohawk A. (.'., the senior metropolitan
'cross country title holder. .1. Phillips,
Faulist A. ('., was a close third.
Willie Plant. Morningside A. C,
three-mile national walk chn ripio 1, di?
vided titular honors with Ritola when
he captured the seven-mile metropoli?
tan walk championship, tho only other
event on the card. Plant's margin of
victory in has specialty was nearly a;
great as that of Ritola in the ten-mile
run, for t'no Morningside athlete won
as lie pleased in 0:56:03 1-5. Morris
Greenberg, Pastime A. C., was second,
and M. Fekete, Hungarian-American'
A. C, third.
The sensational performance of
Ritola, however, was the feature of the
afternoon, for in taking the local \
championship the Finn, who is now
competing unattached, defeated among j
others Frank Zuna, American marathon .
king, and Peto Trivoulides, a Boston
marathon winner. The latter finished
iourth, while Zuna disappointed the
crowd by leaving tho track at tho five
mile mark.
Pit?la, following his custom of set?
ting the pace, went to the front, at the
starter's ?run, and at tho end of the
first quarter mile had an advantage of
twenty yards over Zuna, who, in turn,
led Phillips and Titterton, the latter
pair running almost abreast in third
place. A mile further on tho Fiaa
lengthened his stride, and at this stage
the race became 11 one-man affair.
Steadily tho lender drew away from
his opponents, who, like many of the
spectators, believed that Pit?la would
kill hi? own chances in his efforts to i
race thf field into submission, but in
stead of faltering toward the end of
the long trail William seemed to gain
Ptrer.Rt'i and endurance with every cir?
cuit of the five-lap track. He v. m
cased up.
Titterton Outruns Phillips
After Zuna left the track Titterton
find Phillips gave up the chase after
the flying Finn and were content to
fight it out for second place honors.
Not until the bell Bounded for the final
lap did either attempt to put on speed;
then Titterton leaped in front of '
Phillips and set sail for tho tape.
Phillips tried hard to hang on, but
the Mohawk A. C. star had lots of re
aerve and took the placo with thirty
yards to ?pare.
Harry Morrell, Morningside A C,
furnished the competition for Willie
Plant during the first mile of the walk
tic?, and the Morningside boy lost all
chance to finish in the money because :
of his ambitious efforts. When Morrell !
dropped out, as it was expected he |
would, Greenberg and Fekete took up
the burden of keeping pare with the
three-mile title holder, out they, too,
were satisfied to let Willie have the
crown, and after the fourth mile it was
all Plant.
W. J. Rolker, N. Y. A. C, finished the
walk with a bruised and bleeding face,
following a fist fight with Fekete, which
started during the raco and terminated
afterward in the dressing rooms. Rol?
ker complained to the officials several
times, charging that Fekete insisted
upon stepping upon his heel, so that he
would lose: his shoe.
A few minutes later the New York
A. C. man turned and struck at Fekete,
but missed. Fekete's return punch was
?'tir more effective, the blow cutting Rol?
ls r'a face badly. The pair were sepa?
rated, bat renewed tho scrap in in*
dressing room, where Rolker gave Fe?
kete a nice trimming.
It is understood that the A. A. U, will
transfer these walkers to the boxing
divisi?n of the association at tho next
meeting of the registration committee,

Referee Fails
To Piek Winner
Of Pentathlon
A. A. U. Must Decide, as
Obertubesing Refuses to
Name Victor in Event
The first annual Metropolitan pen?
tathlon championship held yesterday
afternoon under the auspices of the'
Pastime A. C. n*. Macomb's Dam Park
officially resulted in a disagreement.
At the end of the competition Dan :
Shsa, Pastime A. C, national decath?
lon title-holder, and Joseph Erbal, an i
unattached athlete, were tied for first ?
honors with fifteen points each, but be?
cause of a dispute over the rule-? I
referee Herman Obertubbeslng refused
to rer.der a decision.
The confusion responsible tor the
referee's attitude, nnd which makes it
necessary for the local association of
the A. A. V. to decide the winner of
tii" championship came immediately
after the discus throwing contest,
when Obertubbesing ordered two com- !
petitor8, Pat O'Connor, Pastime A. (".,
and Ralph Yickstrom, Swedish-Ameri- :
can A. ('., eliminated. Shea objected,
nteting the men should have been put '
out after the third event.
It appears, however, that the referee :
was T.vell within tils rights, as the rules
require that the field must be reduced
to six contestants before the start of
the last event, the 1,500-meter run. The
six athletes with the best point scores
then fight ii out for first honors. Only
nine competitors started in the title
meet.
At the time of Shea's protest Erbal
led, with 10 point", to Shea's 14. It
mus decidedly to Shea's advantage to
have O'Connor and Vickstrom remain
in the 1,500-rneter run, because they
would minimize Erbal's chances of col?
lecting noints if they finished ahead of
the latter. The result was that Shea
won, Vickstrom was. third and O'Connor
fourth and Erbal fifth.
With Yickstrom and O'Connor out of
it. us they should have been, Erbal
would have finished third, with a total
of 13 points, which would have won the
championship t'nr him, as Shea's, tota!
was 15.
Frederick Pubien president ?
local A. A. P., stated last night that in
all probability Krbal would be awarded
the title following a meeting of the
championship committee, which will be
held this week.

IN ALL FAIRNESS
By W. J. MACBETH
BAR}-: RUTH, champion slugger of baseball history and idol of New'
York fandom, has placed himself beyond the pale of organized
baseball. In direct violation of explicit warnings from Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of baseball, the greatest indi?
vidual player of baseball yesterday afternoon took part in a "barn-'
storming" game at Buffalo against the Polish. Nationals.
There is a rule in the new national agreement?that codo of ethics
under which all of organized baseball operator,?which forbids ad players
of teams contesting for world's series honors to appear in any diamond
contests after the conclusion of the annual classic. Babe Ruth has delib
erately violated that rule.
Dut he has done moro. He has flaunted his diamond greatness into ?
the teeth of baseball's supreme authority?the roan who saved baseball's
good name after the exposure of the world's series scandal of 1.019; the'
only man who possibly could have saved the fair name of the same.
Babe Ruth walked into his present predicament with open eyes. The I
commissioner had warned him that if he violated a fixed and set. rule he
need expect no leniency. It. was intimated very strongly to him that be-?
cause of Ruth's exalted prowess the discipline meted out would be corre?
spondingly severe. Judge Landis made it very plain, at his quarters in j
the Commodore Hotel, yesterday, before leaving for Chicago, that he was
ready to accept Ruth's gauge of battle.
"If ho insists on making this a personal issue with me, then he will
find every satisfaction," blazed the judge. "He cannot expect to get off
with a light line, as war, the customary discipline. I am told, under the old
National Commisson."
It is safe to predict that the owners of the Yankees will stand solidly
behind Commissioner Landis, for they always have been line sportsmen.
But the financial blow, in the loss of Ruth, represents much of what
Charles A. Comiskey lost in playing- worth in the treachery of his,
"Black Sox."'
Just or unjust., the rule is there. Commissioner Landis did not make |
the rule. It is his office to see that it is enforced against the high and low. :
There can be no sympathy for Ruth. No one man can be permitted to j
set himself up as greater than the game.
There seems to be a disposition on the part of players generally to
set at defiance the government of the game. Members of the Washington \
Americans v. ho were lined for playing against in?ligibles declare they'
will never pay the lines. Ruth's behavior may be only part of a general
insurrection. If this is so, those who have their millions invested can
select no better time to force the issue to a showdown.
V j to Babe Ruth, he has been a '.'.underfill force in the moral uplift!
of the game, for he always has been honest and always has played to win.
If he draws a long suspension, as doubtless he will, he will be greatly
regretted. Likewise, he may soon be forgotten.
In any event, he seems to have treated most shabbily both his em- I
movers ami i'lm New York fans who contributed so spontaneously to his
popularity. It will be interesting to learn who were Ruth's advisers when
the story comes out.
McGraw Finally Reach-pa Port of His Dreams
JOHN .1. M'GRAW, the only manager who has won seven major league
championships, has, after sixteen long years, been successful in his j
quest of the second championship of the world. Back in 1905, when j
McGraw won the first of his seven National League titles that have
graced the efforts of Ceo Giants under his brilliant direction, New York]
simply slaughtered the Athletics of Connie Mack in the annual test for]
major league supremacy. The triumph was due to the brilliant pitching!
o? Chidsty Mathewson 'Who delivered three successive shut-outs) and
"I:-,m Man" Joe McGinnity.
In at least three of the five disappointments intervening, between
the years 1905 and 1921, McGvaw's failures might be attributed to hard
luck, or the breaks of the game, rather than to lack of class. In 1911
Connie Mack was able to take revenge for the 1905 humiliation, because
Frank Baker, on successive days, hit home runs off .Mac's pitching aces?
Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson. This powerful slugging earned
Baker the sobriquet, of "Home Run King," a title he held till the mighty
Ruth flashed as a regular on the American League horizon. In' 1912,
against the Boston Redi Sox, after fighting uphill to even terms with the
Hub, a world's championship wa ? lost to New York through a muff by
Snodgrass and the failure of Fred Merkle to see an easy pop foul that fell
within a few feet of his station. And in LUT, in the series with the Chi?
cago White Sox, a collection of errors and "bone" plays blew a game in
Chicago when Comiskey's team seemed abjectly on the run. This was
another clear ease of the title being decided on the "breaks."
About time, then, that McGraw this year should finally profit by
the. "breaks," as he did in the last two games with the Yankees. Nor
is there meant any disparagement. Carl Mays and Wait.? Hoyt pitched
shut-out ball in those last two games, and shut-out. ball should not lose
even if it should not always win. Art Nehf pitched shut-out ball
against Hoyt in the final contest, it is well to remember.
There seems little doubt, when the series is analyzed carefully, that
the bettor club wm\ The "breaks" which favored the Giants in the la t
two games went the way of the Yankees in the earlier contests, What
might, have happened had. Babe Ruth been sound and fit for service
throughout will always remain a debatable question.
Team Morale Affected by FjOss of Babe. Ruth
?T IS our personal opinion that the team morale of the Yankees suf?
fered a serious jolt when Ruth was forced to retire from the series.
The Hugmen thereafter did not play with the same dash or confidence.
Much of the punch and driving power of the batting order was lost.
While it is easy enough for any one to take a second guess, it
seemed a man of Miller's inexperience was but a poor substitute in the
position of the Sultan of Swat, when such experienced hitters as Frank
Baker and Wallio Schang were available. Indeed, had Schang and
Baker been placed nearer the top of the order with Fewster, Peckin
paugh, Bob Meusel and Pipp, it might have been possible to develop
some punch or drive that was absolutely lacking once the King of Clout
hung up his big war maco.
Perhaps the most pathetic circumstance of the entire series was
Peek's error that let in the only run scored off Waite Hoyt in three
games. But for this bobble the Brooklyn lad probably would now be in
the hall of world's series fame, on a pedestal as high as that of Matty
with three shut-outs in a scries to his credit.
But the Yankees have only themselves to blame that they did not
retrieve Peck's disastrous play. Time without number, especially in the
early innings, they were presented with golden opportunities as a result
of tiio wildness of Nehf. And still McGraw's great left-hander ha.i
his rival batters under such a spoil they were letting the perfect strikes
go by and offering at bad Palls.
The double play that ended Cue last game was probably the most
sensational individual bit of fielding in world's series history, and the
most intensely dramatic moment the gamo has known. Expert opinion
divided as to whether or not Ward should have played the safer
game against such a deadly throwing arm as ttelly possesses with
Wallie Schang next at bat. The play at third had to be perfectly'made,
and if either throw or relay had been faulty Ward would have been
credited with smart baso running. He can be panned only in the light
of failure.
The same holds true for Wallie Schang. who in an earlier inning
came up with the bases Idled and two out. Nehf vas very wild at the
<il"?- I?0 Wit??]y uncled Sebang two balls. The next offering was a
"cripple," or a bail thai came up slo.vly with nothing on' it Again?!

paring for Annual Clash
Special Dispatch to The Tribun?
MIDDLETQWN, Conn., Oct. 16.
Wesleyan University'? coaching staff
has a difficult proposition on its hands
to whip into shape an eleven which;
will bo ab lo to overcome New York
University in New York City next Sat?
urday. Wesleyan lost, to Boston Uni?
versity here yesterday, 7 to 0.. in one
of the closest and most, spectacular
games ever seen in Miudletowii.
Wesleyan is sadly lacking in veteran
material and weight. Ever\ team she
has played this s.aison, including Ste
>ia , Columbia and Boston University,
has swept the Wesleyan men from
their feet by line plunges. Wesleyan
not resorted to trick formations
und forward nasse-; as much as might
be expected because of the ?liesp?ri
ence of the team. The coaches have
been forced to cjrill their charges in
the fundamentals up to this time, but,
according to Head Coach Martin, there
vai be a different brand of football
tried out on Andrus Field this week.
Notwithstanding the severe battering
the Red arrd Black received yes?
terday, most of the men are in good
hape to-dny. Scriggins, Wesleyah's
fullback, got away for sonic good gains
yesterday, while Adams and Abbott
plunged through the lino for substan?
tial gains. Parsons at quarter, Captain
Sutler at left end, Foster at center
and Green at left guard also played
well. I'lackc, who was injured in the
Columbia game, probably will be back
i n the I i ne-up t h is week.

likely to b< the champion but able to
cause trouble.
Ohio State's brilliant conicb?ck over
'Minnesota Saturday, after the Ohioans
