\ SPORTS, . PAAVO CITES BIGGEST EVENT OF HIS CAREER Race Finn Regards as Best Effort on Track Was Against Elvin Wide, Representing Sweden. PAAVO NURMI'S STORY As Told by Him to Charles E. Parker Chapter $—Nurmi's Own Choice of His Greatest Race. AVO N MI does not hesit P ate when you ask him to name the race which gave him his greatest thrill—the race he regards as his most noteworthy contribution to track athletics. Some might suppose he would hark back to 1907, when, as a 10- (¥ear-old, he covered the 1.500-meter course in 3 minutes and 2 seconds, for that test against tithe made Paa vo aware of his limitless possibilities. Others might guess any one of his many Finnish triumphs leading up to the Antwerp Olympic games national championship for the 3,000- of 1920—the winning of the junior meter run when but 17 years of age; the winning of his first senior national championship; the registering of his first Finnish record. Then thera are the 10.000-meter vic- tory at Antwerp. in which he avenged bis defeat in the Olympic Joseph Guillemot, or the cros try win.which made him the high in- dividual scorer among the hundreds of athletes of more than 30 nations in the 1920 games. Or you might suppose he'd pick the Colombes games of last year, when he captured four of the distance runs, and after that comes his almost su- | perhuman eountry But for Paavo his greatest greatest thrill came in 1 matehed race with Elvin Stoekholm. Finland demonstration in this ce and in a Wide in nims Wide. Incidentaliy, Paavo. In speaking of this race, reveals something that is ToL generaliy known in this coun- try. He says Elvin Wide is a native of Finland. and that Sweden gained Wide's services for the Colombes Olympie games only through the hur- ried issuance of Swedish naturaliza- tion papers. In America Wide has \ heen regarded as a native son rather | than an adopted citizer of the latter country, and Finland has received no credit’ for fathering and nurturing this fine athlete. The duel between Paavo and Wide was an event of international im- portance. Royalty and civil official- N\ dom honored the race with their presence, and the most pompous among them completely lost their dignity as the race progressed. Wide's rare ability as a middle dis- tance runner—and it should be re- membered the middle - distances of northern Europe run rom the 1,500~ metre to the 3,000-meter events—first attracted attention in the Spring of 1921. No athlete in Sweden could fol- low the pace he set, and Scandinavian track records were knocked galley St every time he answered the rter's pistol. Sweden, of course, claimed Wide as its own and was predicting for him an Olympic. career which would far surpass that of Finland's favorite, Paavo Nurmi. Match Race Demanded. Whenever and wherever- a -Swede| and Finn met there was a discussion of the relative merits of the foot-racers and it was not long be- fore a matched race was demanded. There was considerable haggling ' over the distance. s excellent marks at the brought a request from Sweden that the 1,500- mater course be specified: Finland's athletic officials were for a 5000 or 10,000 meter race. Paavo, himself, | enough. two | ' not fussy. Following his Ant- werp triumphs he had devoted him- elf to the shorter events in an effort to increase his speed. Paavo knew he possessed the desired endurance, that his lungs and heart would func- tion rhythmically no matter how pro- tracted the race, and with certaln record-breaking ambitions in view he reallzed he must develop speed and then strive to carry that speed throughout the longer races. Paavo made a study of the middle- distance marks and the men who had made them. W. eorge, England's great miler of 40 vears ago; Tommie Conneff, the old-time record holder: John Paul Jones, who held the world amateur record for the mile; Norman Taber, whose mark of 4 minutes 12 3-5 seconds, made in 1916, was be- lieved to be the lasting world's rec- ord for that distance, and Jean Bouin, the great French runner, who died in the war, were Paavo's gods at that time. He got the figures for the in- termediate distances in their best races, learned their times for the first quarter mile, the half, the three- Quarters and began experimenting. Devoted Himself to Sprin He devoted himself to sprinfs of 300 or 400 yards, then gradually in- creased the distance, attempting to ‘cowtinue the same speed Yor the | longer courses. He timed himself or had others time him. And he found that the best performances of George and Conneff and Jones and Taber were within his range. It was thia discovery that caused him to step In on the wordy contro- versy over the distance to be run in the matched race with Wide. “Elvin wishes to race me 1,500 meters,” Paavo said. “The mile is only a few yards greater. Why not make It a mile race and score our times at the 1,500-meter mark? That 1s satisfactory to me.” Swedish athletic followers were de- |dighted at that decision. Some had doubted Wide's ability to down Nurmi in a long race, but all were certain he could take Paavo's measure at the mile, and in Sweden and Finland the day of the race could not come fast Foot racing is the national sport of both countries. There is nat- ural jealousy, and the fact that Wide, a native of Finland, had forsaken that land for Sweden, intensified that emo- tion.
