All the world of turf and thorough- breds mourned Wednesday the pass- ing of Australia’s wonder horse— whose silks have been lowered in the final chapter of a career as glamor- ous as any in the history of racing. Word of his death from colic came late Tuesday as suddenly as the lightning, from which he drew his name in Senegalese, sears the sky. Those who find their pleasure, or! their pay, on the track were too| stunned at first to believe such re- Ports. Only a little more than two weeks | ago this great red gelding had signal- ized his North American invasion by winning the rich Agua Caliente, Mex., handicap, a matter of $50,050. i} Trip Uneventful | His return trip by motor yan up the} coast was uneventful. He was quar. tered in private stables here, await-| ing a special race at Tanforan track. It was to be a prelude to an attack on one of the strongholds of racing in this country, Chicago. There some, of America’s finest bits of horseflesh, such as Twenty Grand and Mate, were waiting to match strides with the “red terror from down under.” But Phar Lap was dead. An autopsy showed the great thorough- bred died from the effects of green feed nibbled from a California field, after he had withstood the rigors of @ 10,000-mile sea voyage across the Pacific. Guarded by attendants who watch- ed his every movement by day and slept near him at night, the big horse is believed to have picked up a mouthful of green food while exercis- ‘ing in a field adjacent his quarters. Veterinarians think a bit of foxtail. | or alfalfa or barley, sodden with dex induced the colic. The horse wai valued at $500,000 by D. J.

A. marathon on April 19. When he went to Florida this win- ter, Ritola decided to start training for a return to the foot races. The one-time Finnish-American iron man, winner of Olympic championships in 1924 and 1928, had heard of Nurmi’s Plans to try the marathon. Three years ago he hung up his spiked shoes | and concentrated on the carpentry business but this year presented too good an opportunity for a resumption of his old rivalry with Paavo to be, overlooked. 1 So Willie the iron-man took to the! roads again to get himself back into condition. He reports to his friend | and adviser, Hugo Quist, that he can now go the marathon route at a good pace. He is 36 years old, two years older than Nurmi, but barely ap- proaching his prime, according to the} Finnish distance running standards. These hardy lads get better with age. Forty is considered a good age to start marathoning in a serious way. The long grind will not be a nov- elty to Ritola, although he won his} Olympic titles at 5,000 and 10,000 me-| ters, and ran his fastest races on! American tracks at distances of two to six miles. Willie made his debut | in the Boston marathon of 1922, fin- ishing second to Clarence De Mar, who set a record that vear of 2:18:10 for the old 25 mile course. { Another Finnish star coming back to the marathon wars is Willie Kyro- nen, who competed for Finland in the Olympics of 1912 and now runs aj bakery shop in Brooklyn. According to Quist, Kyronen. although over 40,! jis running better than ever. He not| only will enter the Boston marathon | again in which he has placed well up} many times, but hones to earn a place on the Finnish Olympic team once! jmore. |. Karl Koski, like Ritola a carpenter jby trade, also will enter the Boston | jrace. He too, has been a leading con-! jtender in marathon ranks and repre-; sented Finland in the last Olympics, | finishing seventh.

The Leafs began their first final series for the emblem of world su- premacy in professional hockey by turning back the New York Rangers 6 to 4 last night in the Jast and best of the season’s hockey games at Madi- son Square Garden. The Rangers now must finish the series of the best three out of five games on foreign ice. Ousted from their home rink by the circus, they will play again at Boston Thursday then move to To- ronto for the third game Saturday and as many more games as are need- ed to decide the 1932 world’s cham- pionship. Playing hard rough hockey at a furious pace, Toronto had one big pe- riod, the second, last night, and scored enough goals in it to win. The Leafs rammed in four straight goals to gain a 4-1 lead and held out even though the Rangers were on the of- fensive fully fifteen of ‘the twenty minutes of the last period. Archie Cooke, younger brother of Allen “Dusty” Cooke of the New York Yankees, has been signed by Ashe- ville, N. C., of the Piedmont league.
