Parker CHAPTER 14—FIVE RECORDS IN AN AFTERNOON. P United States. AAVO NURMI skips lightly over his post-Olympic gcti rope—activities which brought him nearly half of his imposing array of world outdoor records—tb discuss his current visit to the But a paragraph should be accorded, he agrees, to a cer- ties in tain August aiternoon last year when in a single racc he set five new world marks. 3 oy It was at Kuopio, Finland The town was still celebrating his un- paralleled Olympic showing and had persuaded Paavo to go there for a test against time and Kuopio's athletes over a 10,000-meter course. Paavo, in especially fine condition and secing no signs of a real contest with the local athletes, proceeded to run as he never before had run for so long a distance, He was caught in 19 minutes 18 7-10 seconds at the four-mile post, in 24 minutes 13 2-5 seconds at the five- mile stake, in minutes 7 4-5 se onds at the six-mile mark and in 30 minutes 6 2f5 scconds at the 10.000- meter finish line, thus establishing four time-for-distance records, and he added a distance-for-time record by covering 9,957 meters in an even half heur. Three of those five recérds, held by Alfred Shrubb of England, had stood unchallenged on tha record books for a seore of yoars., The other two dis- Dlaced marks which Paavo himself had set. He Feared American Hoodoo. Paavo's vielt to America was not undertaken without cert fears. He knew mnothing whatever of indoor running, the trickiness of flat-soled shoes on the hard floors, the precas Fiousness of whirling high-banked turns on the soft wood tracks, the lack 6f space in which to pass rivals, and he recognized in the men he Wwould be called upon to meet the strongest array boasted by any na< tion. Then there were in his mind the éxperiences of other athletic visitors to this land—Joseph Guillemot, for example, who was whipped by Amer- ica’s tyros when he came here fol- lowing the Antwerp Olympic games. With that careful attention to de- tail for which the Finns are noted. Paavo arranged his trip. He booked passagé on u Seandinavian-America liner which would bring him to New York several weeks before the date of his first competitive appearance. He made advance arrangemeuts for exclusive use of one or another of the National Guard armories at eertain hours each day. He flatly declined tnvitations to become {he guest of scores of Finnlsh-American clubs during those first weeks in this coun try. Never in his carcer did he & more thought and study to his sport than following his arrival in New York. The task assigned him as his first venture on a board track was the duplication of the 60-minute effort in the Colombes Olympics—a one-mile run to be followed an hour later by a 5,000-meter -run. In the former he was to mect Jole Ray, American champion, and generally acknowledg- ed the greatest board track runner ever developed: Llova Hahn and Jim- my Connolly, both fo er national or _intercollegiate champions, and each Wwith an indoor tecord of two to his credit, and Walter Higgins, another former intercollegiate champlon and long experienced In indoor racing. In the 5.000-meter run Willie Ritola, who rivaled Paavo fn winning Olym- which they both participated, was the most capable of his foes, but tfiere were several others with notable long distance records. Five More in 51 Hours. The story of Paavo's first American meet has been too recently chrohieled to need detalled description. Paavo won the mile, finishing slowed up, in 4 minutes 13 3-5 seconds—a new world indoor recofd—and an hour later Paavo won thé 5,000-meter with 60 vards to &pafe in 14 minutes 44 3-5 seconds, another hew world indoor record. With those recérd-breaking victories Paavo started an indoor campalgn which long will remaln the marvel of the athletic world. Scarcely & week has passed, but Paavo has én- gaged In three or four tfack meets and at this writing all save two of those meets have seen Paavo break or create from one to three new world records. They range from three-quarters of a mlle to 6,000 meters and already consitute an achievement Ko far bevond anything in athletic history that the most liberal “use of superlatives seems utile. Paavo's feat of January 15. 16 and 17 stands omt This opened with a one-and-seven-cighths-mile run in New York, in which Paavo set three new world records. It then earried him on a 21-hour day and night ride to Chicago, where he et another new record fof one and three-fourths miles. Then it brought him back to New York, where he created a world indoor record for 2,000 vurds. In the epace of 51 hours Paave made the trip to and from Chicago, vanquished the most able of Ameri- can runners and set five world records, sométhing which nevér has been approached and probably never will be equaled. Can Run Faster Yet. Paavo is not ready to state his opinion of the success of his current American_visit “I will_have several meets in which to appear,” he says, and ghrugs his shoulders when asked if already his work has been completely satisfying. “l can run faster than I have been running,” he will tell you. “I could lower many, of those marks if I had opportunity to eoncentrate on one at a time. 1 will lower some before 1 leave if all goes well” That is his comment on a six-week athletic achievement that has ~the entire world by the ears.

February 14.—Watch- ing William Tilden and other stars of ing tehnia couft perform fu com- petitibn on the floor 6f the Heights Casino fn Brooklyn, thé spéctator was forcefully impressed with the difference that exists between the indoor and outdoor game, Inasmuch as Tilden can deféat any- body on turf ot dirt he has the abil- ity as well to win under covér. So far as he is concerned points of A viation as betwéen the two sorts of game afé not muterial—eo far, at léast, as winning and losing are con cerned. Just the same he I8 not the great player indoors that he is outdoors. This is to say that more than one 6f thé findoor stars can play him a cloger game under roof than ranking a‘\:(docr stars ean do under the open sl ying indoors, a servé such as Tilden can apply is absolutely not returnable. Of course he delivers non-réturnable eerves outdoors, but the conhditions that obtain upon a wooden floor, on which the ball skids beforé it fises, enable him to dellver more serves of this sort indoofs than out, many more. And even Tilden seéms far less cer- tain of his footing, plays with less abandon in court covering, when he is on u board floor than when run- ning upon clay or grass. One important point that militates against the full énjoyment of indoor tennis whether by player or specta- tor is the low visibility, so to speak. The ball speedily partakes of the color of the floor and the strain of following it taxes the eyes—taxes them painfully, indeed, When they happen to be sensitive. On dirt thé ball similacly absorbs the color tone of the céurt, but the broad daylight renders it more easily visible than under electric arc lamps with their supplementary {llumination contributéd by & gray Winter day. Tilden does hot.appear to take the indoor gameé very seriously, but none- theless this brinch of the sport is @rowing by leaps and bounds and the time may come when it will develop a certain science and character all its own—with champions peculiarly adspt therein.

At the gun I was off in the lead, thrashing as hard as 1 c¢ould. Olga may have been at my h from start to finish or she may have trafled behind at the start and began catching up later. 1 don’t remember anything but the intensity of effort, and then when I went over the line the knowledge that I hada’t seén her ahead of me or at my side! The thrill went through me from head to heéela! Even then I was mét quite sure that 1 had won.

N EW YORK, February 14—New York fans are in the pesition of inhabitants of a city who are hearing sounds of a great battle, yét do not know what armies are fighting o¢ what it is ail about. | Except in the case of New York it seéems pretty clear that one of the conténding generals is Tex Rickard. He can ba seen wheeling big guns here and there, and it is certain he isghooting thent at some one and that some one is shooting at What? Why? Thete are two big objscts in’ plain slght also. One of them fs _the projected great Queensboro Stadtum and there is Rickard's proposed big Eighth avenus structure, the new Madison Square Garden. Only = Barrage. Reports that investors who might be interested have held back becau: of the fact that Tex took in well over $400,000 at the Wills-Firpo fight and yet lost méney have been circulating. But repotts of this sort may be a batrage Jaid déwn by opponents. On the other hand, Jack Kearns is said to be one of the intereste partiés In the Quéensboro proposition, his_ides being to make money by producihg Dempsey here, dividing Jack's pursé on a 50-50 basis and at the #ame time sharing in the pro- moter's out-of the receipts. Additional talk along this lide pio- tutes Dempsey as rofusing to fisht for any one but Rickard and Kearns is busy trying to make him change his mind. This may be all bunk, likely enough it is—in fact, the whole Queensboro project may well be bunk. Plenty of Bunk. There i# 80 much bunk evervwhere you listen that the fan finaliy gets in a eondition either whére he will bellave nothing, or will believe everything. The former state of mind is much thé more sane attitude to_hold. For instance, why is Tex Rickard Punnhing over to Jersey these days talking to big politiclans and men of wenlth in the vicinity of Newark? The drope is that he has in mind a great outdeor stadium, the greatest the world ever saw, to be bullt on the Jersey - meadows which lie between Newark and Jersey City. This sec- tion of meadow land in mind can be reached from New York in less than 16 minutes. i One would think if the big arena at Eighth avenue and 59th street is progressing as is reported to be the case, Rickard would have-his hands tull in attending t6 it Pussling Siteation. Talk has been heard from time to time that Rickard has not the firm hold on his Jersey City trump card, the big wooden and higm inflammable— sauocer on Boyle's Thirty Acres, that he used to have If thism is so the Néwatk scheme may be a weapon to point at the head of the Jersey City crowd. Whether that weapon is 10aded or not will be for the Jersey City men to decide. Not of few of that crowd are the’sort of men who might be willing to _take a ochanoe, thus saying to Rickard, ‘Aw, go on and shoot.” Qetting back to the Queensboro yarn, it is not to be doubted that those who are behind the venture will be able to use Harry Wills as an ace. Dewpsey With Rickard. But just now Dempsey is with Rickard and is likely to stay with him and if Tommy Gibbons has to make a cholce between two sets of him. But at whom? And which? hand the crown to Tommy and re- tire—and with the metropolitan fans getting more and more interested in a bout between Gibbona and New York's best bet, Gens Tunney, the chancés are that the St. Paul mauler will deéclde it the part of wisdom to stick to Rickard rather than to his rivals. 8o, now the writer has set down all whisperings that have come to him from inside sources this week. If the reader can draw any conclusions out of it all It Is more than the writer can do.
