RECORDS OF NURMI DUE. TO GIVEN 0. K. W YORK, January 26.—Official acceptance as world records of the three marks made by Paavo Nurmi, sensational Finnish runner at 1,500 meters, one mile and three mile: will be urged by Frederick W ‘Rubien, secretary of the Amateur :Athletic Union and chairman of the records and rules committee of the International Amateur Athletic Fed- eration, when the latter body meets | to consider them. This has been announced by Rubien after receipt of official application for the recognition. Nurmi’s most spectacular perform- ance was in negotiating the mile in | 4.10 2-5, breaking Norman S. Taber's mark of 4. . made _in Cambridge, Dfass., on July 16, 1915, which stood Tor mnearly a decade. The other records for which Nurmi seeks official approval ipclude ’ the 1,500-meter run, in .53 and three miles in 14111-5, . These marks, if accepted, would replace the following existing rec- ords: 1,500 meters, 3.547-10, by John Zander, Sweden; three miles, 14.17 3- by Alfred Shrubb, England. TRACK, FIELD RULES TO BE STANDARDIZED EW YORK, January 26.—Steps to- ward standardizing track and “wules throughout the country have been undertaken by the Association of College Track Coaches of America, it has been announced by Harry L.

But misinformation they gave me in all likelihood knocked me out of a title and victory over a strong list of entries, including such men as Gene Sarazen, National Open and Professional Golfers’ Association champion, and Jim Barnes, the 1921 open champlon. It happened. in this way: = ‘When the last reund was reached Sarazen already was well' gut of the running, but Barnes was &mong the leaders and I also was up toward the top. The Lido course was mighty tough that year and scores were running pretty high. As it happened Barnes and I were paired’in the final round. Jim started off with 78-76-79 for 233. 1. had 76-81-77 for 234. Thus I was one stroks to the bad. It wasn't long though, until 1 forged shead.

The great amateur prize is the National Amateur Challénge cup. for which elghty-0dd teams are com- peting this year, an additional in- centive being that the winning outfit will be sent to the Olympic games to represent this country. It was noted recently that Frenc and German soccer teams have be playing in French cities and that there is the likeiihood shortly that French teams will play on German Soil, probably at Strassbourg. AS a matter of fact, soccer is the one great international sport, the one game played in all nations and al climes. It is played, and well played in China, in Japan, in Korea, and, i1 fact, throughout the far east. It i the one sport which seems to interes: Russia.

GIRLS’ COURT TEAM HAS NOW 56 GAMES Every male has his female mate There is a match in western Maryland for the wonder basket ball team of the Passalc, N. J., High School. It is the Lonaconing girls’ team that has won every game played since Decem- ber 21, 1920—a total of ffty-six games, Lonaconing is a little town in Al- leghany county, in the famous Georges Creek mining region. Lonaconing High has played col- lege, independent and high school teams in West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. ; It might have more than fifty-six games in its string of victories, but it can't get as many games as the Passaic boys' team. Prof. Ernest Blood has gained quite a reputation at Passaic. And Dr. Henry M. Hodgson has won some fame at Lonaconing. He coaches the girls. He must be good, for the girls sev- eral times have run up a score of 100 points on an opponent. The Lona- coning girls have scored 2,335 points, an average of something like .42 a game. The opponents of the Lona- coning girls have scored only 423 points, an averagé of less than 8 game. Which ‘proves the defense as good as the offense.

ST. PAUL. Minn.,, January 26.—Ber- mondsey Billy Wells, welterwelght champion of England, defeated Jimmy Jones of Youngstown, Ohio, in a ten- round bout last night. \ thrée rounds in 7 74, total 226, had slipped badly. They said I had only to beat Barnes to win. This was good news. Already holding several strokes” advantage over Jim, I could see the title se- curely in' my grasp, a welcome ad- dition to the eastern professional golfers' champlonship which I had won in 1921. The strategy of the game demand- ed that I “play safe” That is ex- actly what 1 did. Several times when chances were offered for plays that might have reduced my total of strokes,. 1 contented myself with merely holding my lead over Barnes At the end of the round I had a 78 to his 82. My total was 312, his was 315. 1 was champion But something was missing—the lc;ueu from the gallery which usual-_ greet & new champion. Then I learned the sad truth, Mar- ty O'Laughlin had slipped, but not enough. He had taken an £3 on his last eighteen holes, but that had left him with a total of 309. Since then- I never have lstened to sallery dope on the scores of rivgl players. 1 want all my information to be officlal. And I'd advise eny golfer taking part in medal tourna- ment plgy to do the same. 1t doesn't make you happy to lose on” the nineteenth champlonships hole! {(Copyright, 1924.)
