RUNNERS LACK TRAINING So Says Phantom Finn In Talking of Dis- tance Men. BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) * (Copyright 1925, The United Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 23. (United Press)—American athletic officials, with the nation’s future in Olymple competition at heart, haye been greatly concerned about the decline in the class of middle distance run- ners. The American team failed to win a single distance event in the]: ° Olympic games at Antwerpt in 1920 and the showing made in Paris last summer was just as bad. The United Statgs, it would seem from Olympic records, has turned into a nation of sprinters. The failure of American athletes to win any races at distances more than 200 meters not only is con sidered as a grave menace to the future success of American Olym- pic teams, but it is regarded as an equally serious indication that the virility of the American youth is not up to the Standard of young: sters in foreign countries, Nurmi ought to have some good ideas on the subject and his opinion should carry considerable weight. Nurmi is generally regarded as the greatest runner that ever lived. He won four eyents for Finland tp the Olympic games at Paris last summer and broke three records. He came to this country with a great repu: totion recently and lived up to it by making two new world’s records of: ficially and one unofficially, the first time he had ever competed on a board track. He has established records almost at will and many authorities believe that he has never really extended himself. He said when he arrived in this country that his big ambition was to run a mile in 4:06, and there is little doubt that he will be able to do it seme time. “That fellow 1s good enough to run a mile in four minutes," a prominent coach sald the night the Finn star made his debut. * Nurmi believes that Americans are to be considered as distance run- ners in the future. He does not feel that Americans are not strong enough or that they lack the endur- ance to run long races. “There are a number of fine dis- tance runners in the United States,” Nurmi said. “Ray, Conolly and Hahn are three of tho finest milers you can find in any country I believe, ho: t there would be more b ¢ distance runers in this country if training methods were changed. The ideas followed by American boys when they start runing is wrong. When you start wrong you waste time that never can be recovered and more harm than good is accomplished. It is almost impossible to get a matured runner out of bad form that he cul- tivated when he started to learn the GRANT AND JEFFERSON SPLIT HONORS IN CAGE GAMES HERE YESTERDAY Jefferson and Grant school basket ball teams divided honors in grade school basketball yesterday after noon when the Jefferson boys de. feated the Grant boys, 9 to 6, while the Grant girls were winning from the Jefferson girls, 7 to 6.

(Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—From all reports of the inter-city indoor polo matches held in the new, commod! ous and palatial Riding club at Chicago, the tourney would be bet- ter if held at the Coliseum of Madi- son Square Garden under the man- agement of gladiatorial promoters. In’the midst of the rivalries which seem to have been engender- ed between some of the city teams, notatbly, New York, Chicago and Cincinnati, the art and science of polo seem to have been pretty thoroughly thrown to the winds. One gentleman, it appears, so far forgot the ethics of this most gen- tlemanly and regal of all sports as to cast aside his polo stick and paste an astonished and justly in dignant opponent upon the point of the jaw. One hears that the unpardonable sin of walloping an opposing pony across the head with a stick was committed and that wicked epithets SPORT BRIEFS SAN DIEGO, Calif.—Billy Wells welteyweight champion of England, outpointed Johnny Mendez n Diego, in 10 rounds.
