When he went to Florida this Winter, Ritola decided to star. traning for a re- turn to the foot races. The one-time Pinnish-American ircn man, winner of Olympic champior in 1924 and 1928, had heard of Nurmi’s p'ans to try the marathon.

He not only will enter the Boston mara- thon again in which he has placed well up many times, but hopes to earn a place on the Finnish Olympic team once more.

Rosenbloom Active. | By the Associated v.e3 EW YORK. April 11.—Benny Leonard, who retired some years ago as undefeated lightweight champion of the world and now is trying to make himself a figure of importance in the welterweight divi sion, furnishes the principal attraction on the national boxing card this week. Leonard faces Buster Brown, Balti- more welter, tonight in the same St. Nicholas Arena ring where he took an important step along the come-back Toute a few weeks ago by defeating young Billy McMahon. Despite the weight of years, Benny is expected to travel a little tarther along his route, as few. if any, claims to fistic greatness. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds. Busy Maxie Rosenbloom. who is heavyweight champion, has another of his many non-title bouts on the pro- gram, facing Stanley Wellise of Muskegon, Mich, in a 10 rounder at Grand Rapids Friday. Jack Kilbourne, Australian middle- weight, who has done some successful fighting in the Midwest, tackles Haakon Hansen of Norway at the White City Arena, Chicago, tonight. They also are slated to go 10 rounds. Young Corbett, welterweight con- tender from Presno, Calif., troubled by injuries for some time, steps back into the picture Tuesday, meeting Ceferino Garcia of Manila, over the 10-round route at Los Angeles.
