Svanberg Has Made Enviable
Record in Distance Events
in His Own Country.
BY VINCENT TREANOR.

TOHN F. SVANBERG, the Swedish
runner who arrived In New York
J to challenge the Marathon cracks,
10 the most remarkable athlete In the
world. He trains on sweets-that Is. he
docs not diet at all.
An hour before the Olympic Marathon
In London svanberg sat down TO plum
pudding spread. He started the race on
Z full stomach and in spite OF an In
jured leg finished eighth But John has
cut Il out. His manager and trainer,
Ernie Hjertberg. has him at work al
ready on . plain American training diet.
Hjertberg wants to match the swede
against anybody In this country just
now for a race of from fifteen miles
up. Last night Hjertberg sent q tele-
gram to Buffalo challenging the win
ner Of the shrubb. Dorando race.
In looks Svanberg Is runner all
over He's about the same size as
Shrubb. the English wonder, but HIT
10 heavier. He has good. sturdy pair
of legs and body that looks built for
endurance. In athletics, however, looks
are very often deceiving A man may
be built to run like a deer and more
often he can't go fast enough to keep
himself warm. Thus It is that records
and performances ar. all that count,
and when It comes to records this
chap Syanberg Is the goods.
As an amateur he was the best ever
developed In Northern Europe. He
ran at the Olympic meet at London
last summer and was second to Voight.
Of England, In the fiye-mile He was
ono OF tho big field In the Marathon.
He was regarded as A dark horse. He
had run the course Ave days before the
race right to the Stadium games In two
hours and thirty-two minutes. 1t was
only necessary to repeat this per-
Torrance to win the worlds famous
event, but on the day Of the contest
no was alta cked by cramps and finished
only eighth.

Sugged All the Time.
In ordinary boxing matches when the
two fighters got together now and then,
throw aside their skill and slug. the
crowd rises on its hind legs am howls
enthusiastically That's exactly what
Griffin and Hurley did, only instead OF
turning on the smuggling switch now
and then they started at the first bell
and never varied the programme until
the end OF the bout. II. admit that a
few changes. such as master boxer
OF the Frank Erne type might introduce,

Cleefully at every punch, and they land

Like Two Game Boosters.
When the first bell rang the two little
ROSTERS flew at each other. Instantly
lists hinged and banged. For three
rounds they didn't cut loose with the
weight behind the wallops. Then. In
the fourth. both went at it for keeps.
They walloped and walloped and wal
Hoped. They punched and punched
They leaned together with their
heads on each others shoulders and
their feet away back, and punched like
two Jap wrestlers, and all the time
they kept punching. Griffin, with his
shaved head as hard and shiny as
billiard ball, had an advantage In the
punching and butting. Being shorter,
ne could get under Hurley's chin with
his forehead and shove him Off balance.
Whenever he did so Hurley failed and
failed away at GrItin's back and Kid
neys. Griffin played most for the head,
Hurley for the body.
Buckley Got Punched.
They had their turns-even turns-at
momentary weakness. but each came
back Immediately, fighting harder than
before. They slugged so hard all the
time that Referee Buckley had to pull
them apart at the bell. At the end OF
one round 1t took Buckley and all the
seconds-Hurley had tlve and Griffin
four-to separate them. and then both
managed TO get in parting wallop
over Buckley's shoulders, Twice Buck
ley's face stopped a wild swing, and
the little square-shouldered referees
eyes beamed with JOY. He looked as II
he would like to take hand In the
ballyhOo himself.
The end of the fight found them both
hard, at 1t, and sorry to quit.
