TURNER 7 OUCH
EGG RECORD
SHOWS
Almost Unknown, He Has
Beaten Good Men Since
Advent Here

Three months ago, Jack Turner,
sensational California middle-weight
poker, came to Washington un.
known as far as local promoters
knew, regarding his boxing ability.
Some one suggested that he see
frankie Mann, who was acting as
preliminary matchmaker for the
Kenilworth arena. Turner intro
duced himself in a few words to
Mann, and said that he could fight.
With two days training he knocked
for goal the tough Charley Roth.
In the past weeks he has met and
defeated Billy Shattuck, Tex Stoval,
AL Ward, Jumbo Eggleston and the
much-touted Bobby Marriott.
In meeting Charley Baum, Mon
day night, at the Kenilworth arena,
more ability than he has shown in
any OF his past bouts. Baum, al
though but nineteen years of age,
Is not novice, having been boxing
for over four years. BY those that
have seen him perform, he is con.
sidered clever and a hard puncher.
He is. handled by Sammy Harris,
who brought Kid Williams to the
front and won the bantam.weight
championship. His stable mates are
George X. o. Clancy, Nato Carp
and Mickey Papner, all high.class
performers in their class.
Baum will not lack supporters
when he enters the ring against
the rugged Turner, and it will not
be surprising If he rs not made a
favorite before post time. Balti-
more fight fans will turn out strong
for Baum and will back him to the
limit. Everything is being put in
shipshape at the Kenilworth arena
in preparation for the largest crowd
that ever attended a fistic event
at the popular open.air bowl.

NURM|'S STYLE
UNORTHODOX,
SAYS SCRIBE
"Flatfooted" Is Nearest De.
scription to Way His
Feet Perform

According to European critics,
Paavo Nurmi has an unorthodox
style that has keenly puzzled the
athletic sharps who watched him
in his wonderful victories in the
1900 5000 5000 and 10000
meter runs at the Olympic games
held in Paris.
One British writer. A. B. George.
in The London AIl.Sports Weekly.
has this to say regarding the
great Finn:
Thousands of keen followers Of
athletics have puzzled their brains
in an effort to discover the secret
of Nurmi's wonderful running.
Some incline to the belief that his
stride, so contrary to the orthodox.
may have something to do with it..
He does not bound along from
the ball Of. his foot alone, as. do
most short and middle distance
runners. Nor does he lean for
ward in what is generally regarded
as the correct poise. His carriage
of the head and body is upright,
just as one would walk along the
street at an ordinary pace. The
arms are bent at the elbow, so
that they conform to the letter
IL" The swing Is forward and
a very little inward, the hands
being opposite the center of the
bo'ly at the end. It is not a
violent swing, the hands only NOV.
ing backward and forward over a
distance OF about nine inches, the
elbow just showing behind the body
at the moment the hands are
drawn back on a Ievel with the
front of the chest.
This will illustrate the impor.
talt point that the forearm and
hands are in front of the body
mostly.
''Nurmi's stride is marked in it's
difference from the orthodox. At
urit glance he would appear to
run flatfooted, but this is not the
proper description. Certainly the
he'd first makes contact with the
ground, but Nurmi comes up on
to the ball of the foot for his
JpI ing or bound.
Another striking feature is that
Nurmi has a pronounced throw.
1ut from the knee in his stride.
An obvious advantage of his stride
9 that the feet are always close
20 the ground, so lessening jar.
Having studied his style closely, I
Cn satisfied there must. be some.
hing in it, particularly for long.
distance running. All the same.
We need not conclude that it is
fhN correct stride just yet.

BIG BILL GAN

LITTLE BILL
Johnston Feels He's In Shape
To Play His Best
Tennis

FOREST HILLS, L. l., Aug. 90
An interview. punctuated with
grunts, which showed Little Biz
Johnston with his fighting spirit
aroused, was an incident today.
You can tell the folks don't
agree with any Of these writer's who
say I'm all through.
II feel right now as though I'm
capable of my best tennis. Ger

again this season, although, per
haps, ] will have to be at the top
Of my game against LaCoste.
"And IL l do reach the final,
will be disappointed IL I don't give
Tilden real battle from start to
finisf.'
This straight-from.the shoulder Of
fering. made while Carl Fischer
was manipulating the Californian's
vertebrae, was sufficient indication
the national champion Of 1915 and
1919 does not consider Tilden in
Vincible.
He's human" said Johnston,
probably thinking of the latter
stages of the national mixed dou.
bles at Longwood last Saturday,
when Tilden. trying his hardest, was
forced to accept defeat.
I'm firm believer in osteopathy
to help in relaxing an athletes
nerves." said Johnston, as Carl
Fischer, Cynwyd player and este,
opathist, began to maui the tennis
star in semi-gentle fashion. IT had
a good many treatments before l
left the Coast"

lot stronger than when you were
playing in the national singles last
year." was suggested.
II have held my weight this
year." Johnston replied. "I tip the
scapes at 1913 pounds with my
clothes on, and that's as much as
ever weighed. / feel as though I
am ready to play my best tennis.
The only thing that has bothered
me this year is a. tendency TO lose
sleep; seem to become restless at
night. 1t isn't through worry, so I
blame it on the heat.
II don't feel the removal OF nv
tonsils less than three months ago
will have any effect on my play In
coming matches. You remember
Melville Long, don't you? Wen. he
took them out. Funny thing, 1 pat

ago."

When one club visits a rival to
play a game the visitors come
with their townsmen in autos
buses, buggies and on foot. Horns,
rattles, whistles, sweet singers and
strong-voiced rooter accompany
them and the noise during a game
is terrific.
There's a kick in each game
and the battles are so real that
you'd think the life of each player
was at stake on every play.
The jumps lead awful lives, and
every decision that is a bit close
is followed by a wild argument.
Heinie, Zim, who leads the Col
lege Point nine, is the big, star,
and his team at present is lead
ing, tied with the Towards, of
Glendale.
The club standing is as follows:

FOREST HILLS, l.. l., Aug. %
Only fourth round matches are
being played today in the forty
fourth annual national tennis sing
les tournament, now in progress
at the West Side Tennis Club here.
Only three entrants have pro.
crossed into the fifth round and
they will rest today.
The rest will be welcome by
George M. Lott, Jr., young junior
champion from Chicago, who
played himself to a point of practi-
cal exhaustion in winning from A.
H. Chaplin, Jr., of Springfield, Mass.
Lott is thrown against Gerald B.
Patterson, captain of the Australian
Davis cup team and one of the
worlds best singles players, in his
fifth round match.
What was expected to be the
best match of the day will put
Rene La Coste of France on the
Grandstand courts for the first
time since the tournament opened.
He was to meet Brian /. C. Norton
Of st. Louis.
William T. Tilden, H., of Phila-
delphia, the playing through cham.
pion, was not expected to have
much difficulty with Jack Wright
Of Canada.
Vincent Richards is the only
other of the seeded stars who faces
probable difficulty. He is paired
with Dean Mathey of New York.
William M. Johnston of Califor.
min, is paired for the fourth round
with M. Okamote of Japan.
Only three foreign players now
are left in the competition. They
are Patterson Okamote and Jack
Wright.

Cobb, fighting in New York for

A Grudge Fight Is On.

Readers of this column will re-
member, no doubt, the story we
wrote week or so ago about Bill
Tate's first fight with Langford.
You will recall that Mr.. Tate
had Mr.. Battling Owens in his
corner advising him. Mr.. Tate
was doing nicely, feeding Than a
left hand, and that Than kept
crouching lower and lower as the
fight progressed. And you will
remember that Mr.. Owens then
advised Mr.. Tate that the time
was ripe to let fly with a right,
and Mr.. Tate did as he was told
and woke up in the hospital.
Well, that's that.
Mr.. Tate has been waiting for
a day to square accounts with
Mr.. Owens.
Frank Flournoy, of the Garden,
broke the news to us yesterday
that Mr.. Tate and Mr.. Owens
(both gentlemen of color) will
engage in one of the prelims to
the Wills-Firpo contest.
That bout will not rock with
clever boxing but MISPAH-IT
SURE WILL BE A MEAN EN-
COUNTER.
