NUAMI SHATTERS THREE WORLD'S AEGORDS OF 30 YEARS’ STANDING Los Angeles Sees Phantom Finn Break Tape 50 Yards Ahead of Boston A. C. Star in Mile and Half Event. LOS ANGELES, April 30—Paavo Nurmi, the silent Finnish runner, in a mile and a half run against Lloyd Hahn, Boston A. C. star, here last night, toppled from dust covered pedestals three world’s records—two of which had stood for nearly 30 years and the other almost a score of years. The “Phantom -Finn” broke the tape 50 yards ahead of his com- petitor. * The new world marks created la night by Nurmi! were those for the 1% mile, 1% mile and 2,000 yards distance. A record established by W. George in England nearly 20 years ago was the first to fall beneath the merci- less pace of the Finn when he cross- ed a tape at the 2,000 yard point in tive minutes, 3 6-10 seconds, bet- tering by 5 4-10 seconds the former mark. The 2,000-yard mark of five min- utes 7 1-5 seconds made by Alfred Shrubb, the great English runner in London in 1903 was the first to fall when the Finn covered this dis- tance in five minutes 3 and 6-10 seconds. He was clocked at five minutes and 35 seconds at the 1% miles mark or two seconds faster Men who have been in the habit of spending 10 cents for one cigar... now find it just as con- venient to pay 15 cents for two White Owls. And so much more Especially when you consider that the production of a mil- liona day makes White Owls the most remark- able VALUE obtain- sensible! \ able. than Shrubb's mark, set at Glasgow in 1904. Another mark held by Conneff fell when Nurmi ran the one and one half mile distance in six minutes, 42 5-10 seconds. The old record was 6:46.2. Willie Plant, American ywalking champion, and Johnny Myyra, Olym- pic jevilin champion, shared honors with the nimble Nurmi. Plant walked against Frank Smouse, Los Angles, in a 2,500 meter contest, and sent into scrap heap another world’s rec- ord by lessoning the time of 10 minutes second made by Uga ‘rigerlo in Italy. He toed and heeled his’ way to a new mark of 10 min- utes 39 seconds. Myyra shattered by seven inches an American record he established here last Saturday. Last night he hurled the Javelin a distance of 213 fet.
