old mark. The Americans were COM
plete1y outclassed here, and failed to
finish in the first six.
In the discus throw Nicklander and
Taipale made the heaves Of all other
competitors look puny, and Timlos, the
giant Finn, easily took first honors in
the hop. step and jump, in which our
worlds champion, Dan Ahearn, of the
Illinois A. c.. finished poor sixth.
The dope was given another ,terrifc
jolt when Porkola and highlander fin
ishcd first and second in the shot put,
which it was thought would be easy
pickings for the Americans. Our two
entries finished third and fourth, but
we will be mighty lucky to do as we'll
in 1924 unless a new crop of shot put
tiers is developed before that time
In the long distance races the Firms
had everything their own way, with
Nurni taking both the 10,0O0-meter
'cross-coun.ry race and the 10000-me-
ter run and Kolchmainen winning the
marathon.
In the middle distances Finland. like
America, bowed to the superiority Of
England, and in the sprints our ath-
letes clearly demonstrated that they
are the class of tA~ world, but it is a
long journey to 1924. and if Finland
makes a special effort to develop its
short distance men the United States
can by no means figure on winning the
sprints at the next Olympic games.
While Finland amazed the athletic
world in the recent games, it is no.
ticable fact that the Scandinavian races
as a whole turned in wonderful per-
formanccs.
Sweden and Finland together made a
total of POT points, exactly 80 points
less than the total number scored by
all other competitors combined, except
ing the United States. England,
France, Italy and Canada, the runners
up, were completely outclassed by the
Scandinavians, collectively and indi-
vidually.

a clean-cut victory by sweeping the ma
tions of the world at Antwerp, but Fin
land has cast it's shadow upon the ath
letic horizo nand looms up a s formid-
able contended for the premier honors
in the 1924 Olympic games.

Seventy-two Yachts in Thir-
ty-Fifth Annual Races of
Club; Banzai Also Wins

NEW ROCHELLE N. Y, Aug. 2s.-
1t was pity that the New Rochelle
Yacht Club did not have better breeze
for its thirty-ffth annual regatta,
sailed on Long Island Sound to-day.
Seventytwo yachts came to the start
ing line off Echo Bay, a number that
has only been beaten. during the an
nual race week Of the Larchmont Yacht
Club. They were sent away on we'll
chosen courses by race committee
made up of G. P. CRANBERRY, chairman;
W. II. Porter and O.. II. Chellborg in
breeze from the south southwest
Unfortunately the airs, never par
ticularly strong, petered out as the
afternoon advanced. and although prac-
tcally all were able to finish the
times Of the winners were slow in COM
parison to those made in other rcgattas.
The larger divisions sailed from the
starting line to a mark off Captains
Island, then across the Sound to a
mark between Motifs Point and Pros
pect Point and then to the finish line.
1t gave them race of 16A miles.
The forty footers, the largest class
of sloops in the race, did not start on
their regular time. When they did
get away seven Of the big sloops were
at the line. The winner finally proved
to be Rowdy, the property of II. S.
Duell. In the thirtyfoot division,
which also sailed the same course, the
winner was Edmund Lang's Banzai.
7. S. Clark's Amoret won on both
actual and corrected time in the first
division of the handicap class. 1t was
the last division to sail the long
course.
w. T. Hornidge's Tern won in Class
U. Allure, the property of J.. w. and
f. P. Alker, led home the Long
Island Sound schooners. The usual
large fleet of Victory yachts started,
the winner proving to be Briquette,
the property Of J. T. Pratt. There
also was a fairly large fleet Of star
yachts at the line. W. l.. 1nslee's

work throughout the year, was the

Finland (the Land of Lakes),
European nation, bounded north by

supremacy of the United States.
Finland's accomplishments in the
Olympic games have been passed over
rather lightly, but in reality they are
Of great magnitude. In competition
against the pick of the worlds great
est athletes, this nation, which sports a
population considerably less than that
Of the city Of Chicago, won eight first
places out of thirty-three.
Here are the eight events: Javelin
throw, discus throw, pentathlon, 16-
pound shot put, 10000 meter run. hop
step and jump, 10000 meter cross-coun-
try run and the Marathon.
This performance Melted the Firms
40 points, and they corralled SO more

for grand total of 1903, as against 106
for Sweden and 215 for America. At
Stockholm in 1912 Finland won only
five firsts, three of these going to

The greatest achievement Of the
Firms in the games of 1920 was the
winning of the javelin throw, in which
event they placed the first four men,
being the only nation to score 10 out Of

A MAN FOR
MISS PELHAM
BY JANE OSBORN

by the way I've decided to get
man." Sarah Pelham did not speak
as II she had made any more remarR-
able announcement than that she goes
out to lunch, or any Of the other
things of daily occurrence in her Of
fee life In the advertising firm OF
Stone & Stone.
But William Stone drew up in his
Office chair and removed his she'll
trimmed spectacles and looked at her
closely. She was at the threshold OF
his Office, about to return to her own.
II said l was going to get a man"
said Sarah again with finality. You
told me to select my assistant without
consulting you--that l should rely en-
tirely upon my own judgment. And
that is what have decided, Now, /
am going to advertise for some quick
witted young man who wants to learn
the advertising business. Nowadays
one has to pay women as much as men,
and for what ! have to offer | think
I could get something better in the
way of an ambitious young man than
could If l TOOK on a woman"
And though William Stone wrinkled
his brows in perplexity and disap-
proval and was inclined TO argue about
1t, Sarah sailed serenely out of his
sight to her own office.
And Sarah Pelham did get her man

rs II disloyalty to your sex to say
that you wouldn't consider having a
boy stenographer-that girls are more
trustworthy, more reliable and pleas
anter to have around! I believe you
have made that explanation"
THAT'S quite different" almost
snapped William Stone. Besides, I
don't see why you should object to my
having girl stenographers."
Sarah laughed, yet she felt in Mr..
Stones entire attitude toward her
something that was vastly fiattering
to her. After having worked for
Stone & Stone tirelessly for five years
and never having been looked upon as
anything more than a useful bit Of
machinery, It was gratifying to the
woman in her to find this absurd spirit
crop out In William Stone which she
could not interpret as anything short
Of jealousy.
And so the weeks rolled on. Mean.
time Leslie Brown made progress. and
perhaps at first, out Of sheer desire
to tease William Stone, Sarah asked
her assistant to have lunch with her
they could save time on a busy day,
she said, II they talked things over
at lunch. Then one day William Stone
approached Leslie, whom he had scarce
ly spoken to before, with the result
that that day Leslie had lunch at Will
liam Stones club. They were gone
two hours, and they had said much In
that time. When they parted at the
door Of the Office Of Stone & Stone.
William slapped the younger man on
the back.
After that Stone wore smile that
was In strong contrast to the look Of
gloom that had been his for the days
previous.
The next day no asked Sarah Pei.
ham to stay after and talk to him.
He had made this request before when
there was pressing business. And as
Sarah lived near the Office and had

Leslie a personal introduction before
he was detailed to look AFTER his In.
terests for her.
She had left Leslie making a splen.
did impression on this merchant while
she slipped away TO her lunch club.
But she didn't explain this to vii.
liam Stone. In fact, sho hedged his
question.
William Stone had been known In
times past to take attractive young
artists to whom he gave orders out
to lunch with him. But Sarah did
not remind him of this
Whats the idea of having him, any.
way?' went on Mr.. Stone. II was
thinking 1t over and l have never
known single woman In all my bust
ness experience who has had man
assistant. It's a funny notion, and
| can't say that am exactly stuck
on it. What's the idea, anyway
We'll, for one thing" explained
Sarah, at saves lot of time. If
had girl and we became all friendly,
I'd have to listen to her while she ex-
planned that she hadn't got In until
half-past nine, because her mother had
forgotten to wind the alarm clock. and
then the maid didn't come to get
breakfast and so on. Then I'd have
TO talk over her new clothes. She'd
have her new hats sent here. and I'd
have to give her my candid advice
about them. Besides, like a mans
point of view. 1t puts punch In my
copy. It's the combination of the mas
culine and the feminne-my intuition
and judgment and his stronger grip"
William Stone did not find this ex-
PLANTATION at all to his liking. But
1t seems like dsloyalty to your SEX"
he argued, ito say that you would
rather work with man than a woman
and you have always pretended to
be such feminist"

whose broad chest and shoulders and
robustness would have led you to sur
mlse-as was actually the case-that
he had recently returned from serv-
Ice in France. And 1t was because he
had Just returned that he was willing
to start In as Miss Pelham's assistant.
He had been content to keep books
in his fathers unprogressive hardware
store before he had gone overseas, but
he had come back with keen desire
to get into the advertising business,
and with the desire a willingness to
begin at the bottom rung.
His name was Leslie Brown. From
the first Sarah Pelham found him en-
tirely to her liking. William Stone
watched him narrowly as he sat nj
his desk that was placed in the outer
Office conveniently near to the door
that led into Miss Pelham's room.
One day he noticed that Sarah and
that young Brown" as he rather con.
temptuously called him, left the office
together about lunch. time. This was
intensely annoying, so much so, In
fact, that when he went to his own
lunch he absentmindedly ordered a
dish he never ate and left it untasted,
He made up his mind that he would
not speak of the incident that an
noyed him to Sarah Pelham. He never
had interfered in the least with her
goings and comings-in fact he had
never in the five years that she had
worked for him been the least inter
ested in her except as a useful mem.
Der of the staff.
But, despite his resolution, he found
himself gravitating into her room as
soon as she had returned from lunch
which was some half-hour after he
had returned.
"What's the idea?' he asked with a
nod toward the outer Office In the re
gion where Leslie Browns desk was
placed. "Going to take lunch with that
