Recent cables state that reports
Of serious injury to Nurmi's knee
were greatly exaggerated. The
Finnish star was, however, COM
PEELED to stop training for two
weeks. Nurmi IL looked upon as
the ace Of aces on the Finnish
team and his followers expect him
to win five first places in the

Ftnlanders to see Nurmi at his best
that they made petition to the

Robertson's friends point with
pride TO the fact that as assistant
trainer to Mike Murphy at Stock.
holm IN 1919 he was Of inestimabIe
value, especially when Murphy took
sick before the team sailed. II
was the big trainer who jumped
into the breach and brought the
men out Of the contest with flying
colors.

Coach Moakley. He worked like

He has wonderful ability to de.
velop and condition athletes, and
is gifted with winning personality
One of his commendable traits is
that he takes as much interest in
a beginner as he does in a star.
He is wonderful teacher, and he
has the magnetic power that brings

The past indoor season showed

Not a few Of tho athletes who

against the danger Of injury, told
them to take IL easy. He pointed
out to them that an Olympic
championship was Of more I'M

Iron Men Likely To
Develop As Result
Of Twin Bills

The baseball club owners
ara now in a position to get
their moneys worth out Of
their pitchers. In the past
some Of the owners and man
ayers have complained because
they did not believe the box
men worked hard enough. The
heap Of double headers which
have piled up this spring has
put the pitchers in q hole.
They have got to work now.
There is no way out Of it.
It may do them good and de-
velOp some new iron men.
There haven't been any pitchers
now in quite while who find
delight in going in and pitch
ing both ends Of . double
header. All the old excuses
about tired arms, Jumping
toothaches, colds in the head,
and fallen arches will have to
be laid aside. It looks as II
the pitchers would just have to
60 to work.

denotes that Florence successfully
OverCaIne. As she put II, she was
"scared 10 death" Of people.
On the night her first participa'
ton In the clubs big exhibition was
about to take place, she popped her
head out Of the dressing room door,
and when she saw the ''millions'
ce spectators she quickly redressed
and started for the back way.
Elizabeth Becker met her at the
door. Miss SHADING did her diving
that very same evening before the
hundreds and won her first
medal.
The calm, confident manner in
which "Skaddie" now enters and
wins races makes US wonder what
her coach. who is Senior National
Low Board Diving Champion, said
to her that night.
One thing that the coach said
later we do know. She advised
her pupil to take UP classical dane.
ing in order to make her diving
more graceful. Florence did as
told, and is now one Of the best
classical dancers In the city.
During the four years that this
young athlete OF the Capitol Ath.
letiC Club has been In this city,
she has been Nbusy collecting the
fOrty.five medals and many cups
which make the SHADING library
look like q twin to the trophy
room at the Naval Academy.
Florence holds the South Allan.
tic outdoor 100-yard free style, out.
stroke, indoor fancy diving and the
record time of i nour as. minutes
for the Smile race. BY reason of
these many victories, the s. A. A.
A. u. has picked this mermaid az
one OF the two girls who will rep.
resent our part of the country in

Mninaries which WIN be held at

Gertrude Ederle, the sensational
sixteen-year-old holder Of ten
worlds records.
1t is laudable that this New York
girl retained enough pep and spirit
to train and race at night after
doing all the house work and the
family washing during the day; IL
IL still more praiseworthy that
