Two records on track and four on
field were smashed in the second half
of the spring and fall championship
games Of the Scandinsvisn-Americsn
Athletic League. held at Ulmer PARK
Bensonhurst, yesterday.
A pair of the new marks went TO the
credit OF Laurie Karimo. OF the kaleva
Athletic Club, who won points in both
the Junior and senior national title
games last week. The Finnish athlete
proved himself versatile IN ootn
branches of the sport.
His most outstanding performance
came in the throwing OF the Javelln:
which he hurled the fine distance or
l6i feet inches, supplanting the
former mark OF l54 feet, made by
Bruno Brodd, a fellow countryman, last
year. Karimo leaped the winning dis
tance of 2i feet 10 inches in the run
ing broad Jump, adding PA inches 10
the former record.
Clever Hurdling. .
Karimo also was successful in WIN
ming one other first and q second place:
He IMPRESSED both the spectators and
athletic coaches on hand by his clever
hurdling in the 220-yard event, winning
by ten yards from his nearest op--
ponent in % seconds. Karimo is said
10 be speedier in shorter obstacle races
as he holds the llO-metre Finnish rec
ord. The Kaleva athlete ended his
days activities by winning second place
in the pole vault.
Record performances also were re-
corded by Emil Berquist, OF the S"ed-
ish- h-American Athletic Club, who capt
ured the 220-yard dash as he pleased
in 24I-5 seconds, lowering the old
mark OF % 3-5. Sulo Petsnder, the all
around performer, added two inches TO
the former record when he yaulted 3
feet II inches, while I. Hansen, club
mate. tossed the 35-pound weight
distance of 40 feet, displacing the pre-
vious best effort of 81 feet :. inches.
J. Pietila. representing the haleva
Athletic Club, added 20 the list or
record. breaking exhibitions when he
romped home with yard 70 spare IN
the ss0-yard run. His time, 2:OT
erased the old record OF 2:OI 80.
An interesting battle was fought be-
tween the Finnish and Swedish or
ganizstions for the point honors.
While the Kaleva representatives won
Yesterdays meeting by S5 to 50 points
they were unable 20 overcome the
large advantage gained by their rivals
in the first meeting. In the spring
the natives of Sweden defeated their
opponents by 40 10 II. so that the
aggregate number Of points scored
gave them the team title by IS 70 a.
points.
With Hannes Kolehmainen missing,
Willie Kyronen, running for the ha-
leva team, had little trouble IN WIN
ming the three-mile run. Hannes de-
cided 70 remain out of the event. as
he is not in the best OF condition;
Kyronen elected 10 set the pace ana
coach on Otto Laakso. clubmate, Tor
two miles. when he sprlnted 70 the
front. winning by half lap 2ZO
yards at the end. Laakso hnished
second.
A close battle was fought for the
honors in the half-mlle run. j. ne
tia. the victor. after doing most or
the pacemaking, was challenged by
the rangy Otto Petersen, furlong
from home. They ran stride Tor
stride until the head OF the stretch
was reached. when Pietils called upon
his reserve strength 70 win by one
Berquist had a difficult task in
holding off Charles Reimerth IN the
furlong run. The latter got away
poorlv' but vas quickly making up
lost ground when his rival reached
the tape three yards in the van.
