This is the concluding article of a series by Paavo Nurmi in which the great Finnish runner in his own way tells the story of his life. By PAAVO NURMI (Written for the Associated Press) XIL FINNISH HOPES The gold medal for the 5000 meter event will be won by my compatriot, Lauri Lehitnen. The With Nurmi is Lauri Lehtinen, Finnish 5,000-meter record breaker. dccathlon champion, (left), U a hat concealing his thinning hair, is shewn abeve in photo taken on his recent ar- Nurmi hopes to climax his long career with | |two places in the 10000 meter. My compatriots Tso-Hollo and Lau- | i Virtanen, will see to this. Iso- |Hollo is fairly unknown to the |world act iarge, put he can be |counted among the three best in |the world. He runs 10 kilometers |in about 33:30; believe me or not. | You can get an idea of Virtanen's | calibre, when you remember that he ran the two miles last summer in 9:01, or below the world’s rec- |ord to then of Wide. Finland Hopes for Marathon Twice Finland has won the laur- els in the classical Marathon run, and now the Finnish nation is 3 hoping that they may get the wvic- ~\ tory for the third time. In my ! view, the winning candidates must : be between Ritola, if he should i run, the Argentine Zabala, myself : and a couple of Japanese. I can quite imagine seeing the large number of runners coming out from the gate of the Stadium. The fore troupe keeps the speed peed which is sure to bring ster, exhaustion, suffering and the collapse of great dreams. The warm California air will soon force the sweat out on the powerful bodies, the speed increases auto= mically, without hotice. There ars many who do not see the danger: They are thinking that perhaps they may be able this day to reals ize their great object. Partien larly the small and supple boys from Nippon feel the high speed, as they draw ahead on t asphalt road, and draw others with them. At the half-way point, the %« front men are considerably ahead of the rest, and this group con- tinues the same speedy running the return journey. Bvery- ‘mmg appears to be quite clear. Early Leaders Lag But now the last quarter begins to tell, and the wide gap between ithe first men and their followers begins to get filled up. They who ‘ha\'e understood to regulate their |s d according to their strength are beginning to catch up with |strays from the first group. When and Volmari Iso- men will have the strength to fol- low him. Lauri Lehitnen just recently broke the world’s record for the 5000 meters. He is a powerful built and a fast runner, who will now follow in Ritola's footsteps and mine. He may happen to be a hard nut on the 1500 meters also, but the 5000 meters he is sure of winning.

Po Eddie Eagan's entertaining book, Fighting for Fun,” throws the light on one of the most unusual ama- teur athletic careers on record. The colorado boy who went to war, to Yale, to Oxford and boxed his way around the world just for the sport of swapping left hooks, seems to have enjoyed him- self immensely. Yet he had a dif- ficult time resisting the tempta- tion to turn professional. Recur- rently, through the schoolboy stage of his career, he defends himself but it took Gene Tunney's advice, apparently to finally check a strong mpulse to turn “pro.” “It’s not worth it,” Tunney told Eagan, as the professional and amateur heavyweight champion met in Colorado Springs. “You don't know what a champ has to put up with until you are one. It's a long road to the championship. I was years getting my chance. lots of fights to get to the top and then it's a matter of luck.” “You wouldn't start at the bot- tom, it's true, but the bees are busiest around the top of the honey jar. There are plenty ahead of you. Maybe you can lick 'em all, only remember the better you Boston | the harder you'll find it to get matches. . le law. a bit pug. brains ..

The pro- fessional gets da:n little money and lots of punches.” The future Rhoces scholar and Olympic champion raight not have been so willing to 2ccept this ad- vice; either he or Dempsey had known the big money that was to be collected during boxing'’s later boom times. Bagan neverthless re- sisted offers from Tex as well as London promoters to turn “pro” after it was apparent he could very likely “clean up.” If he has any lingering regrets now he does not indicate them. AGAINST OLYMPIC BOXING It may interest the Olympic g | moguls to have Eagan's viewpoint on the fistic sport’s place on the international program. It takes showed him | Rickard | rt Slants LANT"GOULD “I have been to three Olympiads and seen all of the ew: he says. “It seems to me that ] object of the games, good fellow- ship and sportsmanship between nations could be better achieved without the boxing events. “The decision of two inexper~ jenced judges is often wrong — | science, skill, in footwork and cleverness, there are often not ap- preciated by the judges if a fa- vored national charges in contin- uously like a maddened bull | have seen biting in the clinches, | knives drawn by spectators and po- licemen using their clubs at the boxmg matches when a decision seemed unfair.” DEM! Y BEST FIGHTER As to the two great men of pug- ilism with whom he boxed and associated on friendly terms, Ea- gan says: “In my opinion Jack Dempsey is the greatest fighter and Gene Tunney the greatest | boxer in ring history. Of course, 1 did not see the old-time cham- pions, but T think boxing has evolved upward just as every oth- er form of sport has. Fighters today know more about training and scientific living than the ear- lier. champions ever knew.” - The Best Money Can Buy ((‘ HOP FL Av?w:;f‘(z ey acr SV HEATING High cost is unnecessary for summer heat. your fire with INDIAN Start for quick heat.
