U.| Victor in 1932, Rates Little Finn Highly. BY FRANCES E. STAN. LTHOUGH young Leslie Pawson of Pawtucket, R. I, only two months ago tan the fastest ama- teur marathon on record, one of the keenest marathon minds on the continent likes the chances of another tomorraw in The Star's second annual national A. A. U. championship mara- thon just a wee bit better. i To be sure, 98-pound Percy Wryer. the wateh-charm marathoner, classes Pawson as & great runner, but from the land of Finland, where street car | and bus companies go begging because of the natives’ fondness for galloping, will comes the winter, thinks Wyer. That man is Dave Komonen, trans- planted little Finn and ace of the| world-famous Monarch Athletic Club of “Toronto. Except for the fact Komonen is a member of the team waich is captained by Wyer, the little Canadian’s state- ment may sound a bit unusual when it is considered Wyer himself finished second last year in The Star’s race, and in addition to being recognized as one of the sport's best authorities, is reck- oned among the standout marathoners in_tne world. | But the little black-and-gray-haired Wwyer. notwithstanding, likes Komonen ' to win, Pawson to place and any onc of 10 to finish third. VER, however, qualifies his state- ment. The weather will play a big part, says Percy. And, strange- 1y enough, Komonen, born in Finland and now residing in Canada, needs a warm day. & “If tomorrow is cold or rainy.” pre- dicts Wyer, “Pawson will have the edge, perhaps. But give Komonen a warm day and hell take plenty of beating. “Pawson.” and the diminutive Can- adian explained this unusual circum- stance, “is a youngster, and cool, weather and rain doesn’t hurt him .a bit. In fact, it was uncer_these conditions that he won the Boston Patriots' day race and set a "ofln‘ cord. l’c"Kl:monel'L on the other hand, is 34 years old—right in his prime for thoning, too—and hot weather is IN company with Komonen and three | other Canadian contenders—Os- | borne Robinson, Ronald Mayne and | Dick Wilding—Wyer, captain of the Entries for Big Marathon || UNNERS in the National A.

Anent Komcnen he went on to supply some inter- esting facts: “Dave’s been in only 10 major mara- thors and has won 6. He finished sec- ond in two others, including the 1933 Boston Patriots’ race, which Pawson won; seventh in the 1931 Boston race and failed to complete the course in the other race, which, incidentally, was his first as a marathoner. “In Finland, strange to scy, he never ran a distance race. Not until he came to Canada four years ago did he take up the sport. His running experience in Finland, however, comes in handy. | Just & couple of weeks ago he timed himself so well that he finished second in the Beaches Olympic Club 10-mile race. Last week he made the fastest time of 50 runners in the two-mile re- lays for the Minacher Trophy at Toronto. That's unusual for a mara- thoner.” Incidentally, in the little car which dusted in from Canada vesterday were two of the first three finishers in the famous Boston Patriot's day race this year—Komonen, who ran second, and Wilding, who was third And the winner, Pawson compete tomorrow also will BOUT himself Wyer had little to say. “I was unable to Tun at Bos- ton due to a bad cold and conse- quently T haven't much confidence of doing anything tomorrow.” But at this point Wilding interrupted «I wasn't here last year. but Robinson and Maynes tell me he caid the same -then ran second in the Boston race two ye was his worst showing in vears.

Smith was the victim in yester- dey’s game with the Chicago Cub while Gibson, who lodged an official protest. and Hartley. felt resp-nsiblity a8 they were on the coachng lines. Smith opened the fifth with a €ouble and after Lloyd Wener had fiied out, hit brother Paul, lined one at Babe Herman. Herman came in fast, snared the ball and tossed it to Bill' Jurges. Umpire Pfirman ruled Herman had trapped the ball, however The Cubs rallied around to argue (hat Herman had caught the ball, and of ccurse, lost the argument on and Hartley resumed their ching positicr:s and Smith led off ond. Jurges snesked over and agged him out.
