.RITOLA TO REPRESENT
FINLAND IN OLYMPICS

NEW YORK, December 2S.-William
, Ritola of the Finnish-American A. c.
of New York, champion long distance
runner of the United States and hold
er of the world indoor record. will not
be q member OF the American Olym-
pic team that will compete in the
Olympic games in France next July.
Instead he will wear the colors of
Finland, the country of his birth.
Inability to obtain the papers re-
quired to make him citizen of this
country in time to be eligible to rep
resent the United States and an ire
sistible desire TO take part in the
Olympic races were the causes which
led to Ritola's sudden determination
to race for his native land. The fa-
nous Finnish runner will sail for his
homeland on January !. He will be
accompanied by his wife and child and
1t is unlikely that he will return to
this country.
Ritola has been competing IN Amer
lean amateur track events since 1919.
He first sprang into prominence in
1921 when he won the junior cross
country championships. His greatest
athletic successes were registered In
races last year. His most brilliant
achievement was scored in the three
mile run at the Knights Of Columbus
meet at the a-mory OF the 1920 En-
gineers last February. In that race
he beat Joie Ray and covered the dis
tance in the new worlds record time
of IA minutes IS As seconds. His
other record was made in the fou--
mile run at the games of Fordham
University. at the same armory last
winte".
Ritolas most notable victories dur
ing the last outdoor season came with
the runring of the national A A. u.
championship ten-mile run at Ma
combs Dam Park and the national A.
A. Z. cross-country championship at
Philadelphia. He won the titles in
both with consummate ease.
Ritola, who has been a resident of
this country for ten years. expressed
regret over leaving America, but
pointed out that he owed all his ath-
letic success to Finnish advisers. The
events in which he will appear In the
Olympic. games are the 5000 and 10000
meter races and the 3,000-meter team
/ race.
