What happened was exactly the reverse. His youth he retained, of course, but his rashness evaporated. He would take chances with his players but he did not than those of other managers, and when he did take a chance he knew why he took it and acted accord- ingly He won four some pennants with the PitteWurgh nine. Three of them were won in successton in 1901-2-3. That was the Clarke era. Where- ever base ball men were congregated Clarke was heralded as the great Young manager in base ball and the man who would supplant Anson and others of the old time school in gaining pennants.

He dogged Nurmli's stride for the greater part of the route, but faltered in the last few laps. Not Flat-Footed Runner. Chlcago was satisfied that Nurmi is not a flat-footed runner.

Helen Filkey, who won three woman events, set a woman's record for the yard low hurdles in 0:07 3-5. Off Like a Flash. Nurmi was off like a flash when the starting gun was fired. Ray clung to the Finn's heels like a shadow for the first mile, with Frey Liewendahl, a mem- ber of Finland's Olymplc team in 1924, the third starter, tralling them. The pace became too swift for Liewendahl, however, and he quit after running nine laps of the 21-lap race. Ray measured stride for stride, step for step, always on Nurmi's heels. The pace grew hotter and hotter until they swung into the sixteenth lap.

Ray, near a state of collapse, fell into the arms of an admirer standing at the edge of the track, thoroughly defeated. When he recovered his wind, however, he quick- ly went over to Nurmi and extended his hand to congratulate him. The race drew the greatest throng ! that ever witnessed an indoor track meet in Chicago.
