This situation was like a sub- way crush the day after Nurmi's; debut in the old Madison Square Garden. More than 5000 persons d been turned away and in- fluential citizens of this and cther countries willingly paid as high; a3 $200 for a single ticket of ad-| mission. Here was a new fflow of gold ot the gate. Quite naturally in- ducements were offered to Nummi’s entatives. The competinon was keen and there was no dis-| position on the part of promot- €rs to expect Paavo to travel in anything but first class style. All the fuss was somewhat an- noying to Nurmi himself.
