Draws Best for Penn Relays NEVER ATTEMPTED DEAL || WITH WILSON, SAYS QUIST Drake Official Asserts Exorbitant Expense Mone; Was Asked for Participation of Ritola and Nurmi—Paavo Defended by Rubien. C twere mad It all HICAGO, April 24—A barrage of charges and counter-charges has been unloosed on the heel of declarations by officials of Drake University and the University of Chicago that exorbitant demands for the track appearances of Paavo Nurmi, Finnish running marvel, and his fellow countryman, W lie Ritala tarted when Kenneth L. Wilson, director of athletics at Drake, asserted he had refused to pay $500 expense money for Ritola to appear in races in connection with the Drake relay carnival at Des Moines to- morrow. Wilson said it had been hinted Nurmi's appearance could be ar- ranged for a figure equal to transportation from New York to Des Moines and thence to Finland. The declaration was followed by a statement from offici expenses f meet in Chicago in June. Publication of Wilson's charges im mediately brought a denial from Hugo fuist, Nurmi’s manager, who declared n Los Angeles that he had met Wil son only once, and that the expenses of the runners “positively were not discussed.” Wilson countered by re- iterating his charges that Quist had handed an “exorbitant sum for the appearance of his runner,” and also isserted that he had discussed the matter of expenses for the track men | with sions. Says Quist Asked for Money. Wilson said that Quist had ‘‘def- initely set $500 as the amount of ex- eNse money necessary for the ap- of Ritola.” Regarding ne- ions for the appearance of ni, Wilson said that while it had been definitely decided that Nurmi could not appear because of confl ing dates, Quist, during an interview ¥ Chicago, January 16, hinted that Nurmi's appearance could be arranged on the extended transportation basis. _Quist said that the financial end of Nurmi's track appearance had been handled through the New York office of the Amateur Athletic Union, and that any complaints should be taken up with that organization. Frederick \W. Rubien, chairman of the national registration committee of the A. A. U., 100K cognizance of the affair by de. claring at New York that if afidavits were filed with him supporting claims that Nurmi and Ritola had made ex- orbitant expense demands he would seq that an investigation was con- ducted at once. Rubien Praises Nurmi. Declaring that he had never found & cleaner or finer amateur than Nur- 17i, Rubien said he had planned Nurmi’s trip through the West and that the Finnish runners' schedule would not enable them to compete at either Des Moines or Chicago. Rubien said he would like to know Wwho advised the Western officials con- cerning the expenses of Nurmi and Ritola. “I have personally arranged for Nurmi's appeara he said. “If they have been negotiating with other persons, Nurmi cannot be held responsible.” He declared filled the rules of closely as an ited America Officials of the Central A. A. U. de- clined to be quoted on the question of expense money received by Nurmi and Ritola, but insisted that they still were in amateur standing. Nurmi has participated in a score of indoor races since he came to this country +last Winter, e Finns are now on the Pacific Coast. Quist Scores Wilson. LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 24— Paavo Nurmi, the fleet-footed Finn gave his legs a California soil here today while his manager, Hugo Quist, busied himself with the storm of controversy engen- dered by Kenneth L. Wilson's re- marks that exorbitant expense mone demands_were made for the appear- ance of Nurmi and his running mate Quist on three different occa- t Nurmi had_“ful- the A. A.

Promoter Floyd Fitzsimmons orig- snally offered a guarantee of $60,000 for ‘the Munn-Lewis match when Munn held the title and had posted $30,000 of that amount. An effort was made to induce both Munn and Lewis to forego matches until the Michigan City event. Munn's failure to do so has cost him a pretty penny. With Munn a_defeated champion, but with Lewis claiming he still holds 1he title, articles for the Munn-Lewis finally signed .yvesterday, call for @ purse of $30,000, of which Lewis will get 60 per cent and Munn 40 per cent. Thus Munn's share will be $12,- 000. With the purse $60,000 and Munn still champlon, he probably would have obtained the 60 per cent, or $36,000. The diamond-studded belt, emblem- atic of the title and valued at $10,000, will be awarded the winner. Lewis had retained the belt since he was thrown by Munn at Kansas City, claiming that Munn should have been disqualified on a foul. With the Michigan City bout ad- vertised for the title belt, no comment has come from Zbyszko, who appar- Jitly has severed relations with the Western wrestling outfit. Zbyszko generaily was believed to have been a member of the Western- ers until he defeated Munn, and since , then his prospective matches have been arranged with wrestlers of the Jaastern persuasion. He meets Renato Gardini at Philadelphia next Tues night. Later, it is reported, he wiil come to Chicago for a match with Joe Stecher, also identified with the East- erners.

April 24.—Rubin- stein, the Polish player, took the lead in the international chess tournament vesterday by defeating Mieses of Ger- many, while Alekhine, who had been leading, rested. Six of ten games resulted in draws. One game, between Frank J. Marshall, United States, and Rosselli, Italy, was rdjourned.

He denied that he had several in- terviews with Wilson regarding ex- pense money for Nurmi and Ritola. “I met Wilson only once in Chicago on April 19," he said, “and on that oc- casion the expenses of Nurmi and Ritola positively were not discussed between us Quist expressed the opinion that the whole controversy grew out of Quist’s failure to have Nurmi's Los Angeles Coliseum date changed so as to per- mit him to appear in the relay car- nival at D As to N S expense money re. celpts, Quist said, the Finn was being paid $7 a day through the New York | office of the A.

NEW YORK, April 24—Whether | or not the management of the Nurmi- Ritola firm, which is now touring the country, demanded exorbitant ex- penses for appearing at the ap- proaching Drake relays has resolved itself into a question of veracity as between Hugo Quist, who is conduct- ing the two Finns about the country, and Kenneth L. Wilson, director of athletics at Drake University. | Wilson makes one definite state- | ment and Quist denies it. Thereupon, when advised of the denial, Wilson at the Drake relay Frederick W. Rubien, secre: the A. A. U., pending: an invest tion which he says he will make, states that he does not believe there is any. truth in the statements. He characterized the charge of Mr. Wil- son as a_ “publicity stunt.” Now, Wilson has never struck the writer as g n to such expedients, and perhaps it would be better were Rublen, who is to act as judge in this matter, withhold opinion until he has all the facts in hand. It is to be hoped that examination of the charges will result in the estab- | lishment of a general misunderstand- ing and admissions to this effect from the Middle Western College author- ities. For Nurmi and Ritola have con- tributed much to the development of | track enthusiasm in this country, have in fact given an impetus to dis tance running which is bound to s extraordinary effects so far s ‘concerned in the of next Olympics. On te other hand, if there is any truth in the rumors one hears every season concerning the latitude allow ed track athletes in their expenses, it might as well be uncovered now as HICAGO, April 24—When Stanislaus Zbyszko threw Wayne (Big) Munn in Philadelphia recently he not only obtained the world | heavyweight wrestling title, but incidentally cut the Nebraska giant out of the possibility of earning approximately $25,000.

Places of those who were lost by graduatfon will have to be filled by men who have had one year, or, in some cases, two years, of rowing prac- tice and little racing experience.
