Finn Wins Long Race


Finn Wins Long Race
Nurml, the twenty-two-year-o old Fin
nish runner in the 1O,OOO-meter race.
turned the tables to- day on Guillemot,
who defeated him Tuesday in the 5000
meters.
sat next to the Finnish coach dur
ing the race, and he doubted to the last
lap of the 10000 meters that Nurmi
could beat the French star with his un-
calmly but highly effective style.
Fred Faller, of Dorchester, Mass,
who represented the United States in
this race, was completely outclasscd.
Nurmi is another Kohlemainen and
may be even better than the famous
Finn. About mile from the finish,
after logging Guillemot and the Eng
llshman Wilson, Nurmi found himself,
and running with excellent Judgment
began to worry Guillemot. Realizing
he was unable to beat the Frenchman
IN short sprint to the tape, he let
loose with a quarter mile to 20 nnd
carried Guillemot along at terrific
clip through the backstretch. He
won by twenty yards, one of the finest
distance races seen in years.
Pat Flynn, Mike Devanney and Al
Hulseboch, of America, ran we'll in
the final of the 3O00-meter stceple
chase, but, as was anticipated, thew
were unable to stay with the English
man. Hodge, who finished sixty yards
IN front Of little Flynn in very fast
time. For a while it looked as if
Flynn, the American national cham
plon, might give the Englshman
tough race, but Pat weakened in the
last two laps and Hodge came through
flying. America scored more points in
this event than any other nation, al
though it had only one man among
the first four.
Mcdonald Favored in Weight Event
The semi-fnals of the 5G-pound
weight throwing contest were COM
pleted to-day, and Pat Mcdonald the
big New York cop, seems assured of
first place. Pat heaved the weight II
meters in winning the trial from his
team mate, Pat Ryan, Of Loughlin Ly-
ceum, whose distance was 1925
meters. Ryan should take second place
easily. Mat McGrath, Of the New York
strained muscle in his knee, and J. NJ.
acEeachern, of San Francisco, failed
by about two inches TO qualify Cor
sixth place. Here again the Scandi-
navians Figured prominently, showing
marked improvements over the work
at Stockholm ir 1912. Lind, ef Swell
en-, was third; Svenscn. of Sweden,
fifth, and ePtersen, of Finland, sixth.
America will have three men in the
final Of the 3,000-meter walk, in which
event Frigerio, of Italy, seems sure Of
taking another first, as he has already
won the 10,00O-meter heel and toe con-
test Americas gray-hairod veteran,
Dick Remer, and T. Maroney, Of st.
Anselm's A. c., New York, should score
points in to-morrow's race. Joe Pear
man, of the New YORK A. c., was dis
qualified after going a few laps, the
Judges glseing that he was running.
