Flashing into competition that has led him to Chicago, Boston and New York with an attack that swept all before it, the *urious Iinn" either has relented In his hacking |at the figures of little Joie Ray, of | Chicago, America's best, or has suf- fered the punishment of over-train- ing. The turning point came on I'ri- | day night in the annual games of the Morningside A. C, in this clty when he ran a mile to victory, It was a hollow conquest, for his op- ponents were those same’ sons of Iinland who have been part of the great one's act several times since he came to the United States. U less they are handicapped, these men of the Finnish-American A. —Ilumar Prim, Gunnar Nilson, Au- gust I"ager and Louls Tikkanen-# provide only the background for Nurmi. They themselves realize that they cannot give him worth while opposition, Yet the same men entered the lists in the Boston A. A, meet, The Finn, however, is expected to face Ray again on Saturday night next in a 3,000-meter race at the Wilco A. C, contests in Brooklyn, iddie Kirby of Cornell, first of the Americans to finish in the 3,000- meter event at the Olympics, will be another starter, his first indoor ap- plarance of the season. Verne Booth, former Johns Hopkins star, and Wil- liam Cox, Mercershurg academy flash, also are entered. XKirby may be the man to offer a surprise, The others have trled and failed, Races Tomorrow Nurmi faces two encounters be- for entering the Wilco games— the Western Union meet in Madison Square Garden, Tuesday night,”and the' Newark A. C, races the follow- ing evening. Neither event is ex- pected to furnish a real test and his heart is set upon running two miles in nine minutes or better in the Wil- co “3,000,” which would eliminate another of Ray's records and al- most take the Chicagoan out of his- tory. Nurmi will continue to the two-mile mark at the end of the race, Ugo Frigerio, of Italy, champlon walker of the Olympics who has been defeated twice by Willie Plant, the American title-holder will have opportunities to redeem himself in all three meets in New TYork and vicinity this week.
