Is Hannes hohlemainen slipping ?
That is the question that IS agitating

there are as many opinions as train

fact that the great Finn distance run.
ner has been showing very poorly In
his recent races, and in his last two
endeavors he has stopped and left
the track, before the finish, most
unusGal proceeding for the hero OF
the Stockholm Olympiad.
There is a day in every runners
career when he is absolutely at his
best, and in the kohlemainen case
this day was the one in July, 1912,
on whicn Hannes and the lamented
Jean Bouin met at 5000 meters in
the Stockholm stadium. The wonder
ful Finn may train forever. but he'll
never be the runner he was on that
day. or better yet, those 10 days OF
Sweden's great Olympic festival. In
that wonderful duel OF speed and grit
with Bouin Koly passed the three
miles IN l4.0 % Hannes viii never
equal these figures again. therefore,
ii may be truthfully stated that he's
not as good on the track as he once
was.
Some eastern experts are holding
that Kohlemainen is failing TO show
his oldtime form because he has been
too much engaged in business TO train
properly, because he has attempted TO
lengthen his natural stride OF late,
and because he is growing older and
sitter in the joints. II is also report
ed that Cupid is claiming some OF his
attention and interfering with his
training
The Firms efforts TO lengthen his
stride we're first noticeable in the 10
mile A. A. u. championship last fall
and the longer steps have resulted
in the loss OF the tireless rhythm that
marked his Olympic running II is

LORE, SAYS MANAGER.

Johnny Lore, who has won a host
lof friends in these parts during the
flew weeks he has made his headquar-
ters in this vicinity, will be back on
broadway in a few weeks, il Burke's
plans do not get hopelessly snarled
! Johnny is slated to take a punch or
so at Harry Conway at Montreal on
: the twenty-ninth, and will meet
Mickey Sheridan at Lansing and Joe
Sherman at Bay City next month.
Then il will be back To Gotham. TO
grab some OF that soft coin that Joe
ShugTue, Robideau and the rest OF
the near lightweight champions are
finding plentiful cut Manhattan way.
Burke is positive that Lore has the
makings of a scrapper as good as the
best OF them, and he is equally posi-.
tive that If IL comes 10 showdown,
his star protege will have no great
trouble in getting down 10 the proper
weight. Persons who have seen John.
ny at Windsor are not so certain OF
the weight question. II is a sure thing
that unless the Irishman does some
strenuous reducing before long. il will
be too late, and like Mickey Sheridan.
Will have 20 sail under welter colors
Speaking OF Sheridan recalls the
real reason why Johnny and Mickey
have so little brotherly affection for
each other. The question OF lot
weight forfeits is only side issue. II
seems that when they first met at
Windsor, Lore told Sherman he was
no lrishman, and what Celt blood the
handsome Chicagoan really possesses
famed into and intense dislike OF the
equally pulchritudinous Gothamite.
The dislike is now positive aversion.
and II Is mutual.
