GREATEST
RUNNER OF AGES
Says Hardest Race Was
5,OO0-Meter In
1920

Paavo Nurmi, greatest distance run
hardest race of his life, replied that it
was the 5OO0-meter event at the Olym-
pic games in Antwerp in 1920. He did
not finish the race first. He came in
second to Guillemot. He was % years
old at the time.
All those who saw Nurmi run at
the Olympic games in France last sum-
mer, marveled at his stamina and condi-
ton. In the famous cross-country run
where runners dropped all along the way
overcome by hot sun and oppressive
heat, Nurmi finished fresh. His record
breaking performance in France seemed
to take little out # him.
"At Antwerp was too young" says
the remarkable Finn. 1.-THE race was
too hard for one of my age. 1t took
too much out of M
This expression by Nurmi should be
read and seriously considered by all
trainers in this country. They believe
in starting them young in the United
States and keeping them at it. That
is why our athletes burn out so quickly.
Nurmi says he likes all distances. He
has no favorites. He is going to run
at the hig indoor meets here this winter
and return to Finland in the spring.
He does not want to stay and can not
understand why SO much fuss is made
over him.
One race that will be the headliner
of the indoor se"son is the event where
Nurm meets VIII Ritola 1t will be
during the Finnish-American indoor
meet. They will not clash at ny other
time.
If Ritola does beat Nurmi in this
country it will take nothing from MUIR
mis- glory in America. Nurml is run
ming on boards Cor the fist time. he
Is in a strange country. Neither the
country nor the board track is strange
to Ritola.
In reply to a few recent queries we
will here give the world records that

STANDARDS SET
FOR TENNIS BALL
Associations Want Great
er Uniformity Over
World

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Tennis as
sociations and players throughout the
world are engaged in an effort to bring
about further standardization of the
ball, according to an announcement by
the United States Lawn Tennis asso-
citation.
1t has come to be the universal opin-
ion that players coming from distant sec
tons to compete in international play
are handicapped by the type of ball
used, especially if it is one to which
they are not accustomed. These diff
ferences are not always due to manu-
facture. Atmospheric conditions, type
of court and other factors enter into
consideration.
At recent meeting of the coun-
ell of the English Lawn Tennis asso-
citation the ball test committee reported
on tests made on 25 different makes OF
ball, all of which professed to comply
with existing definitions of lawn ten
mis- ball which provide limits for its
diameter. its weight and its bounce.
Among the findings are statements to
the effect that a soft ball will feel
lighter on the racquet than the harder
ball; that with a given racquet action
it is possible to impart more spin to
a soft ball than similar action will
impart to a hard ball; that in base
line driving the. hard ball and the soft
ball, will each after bouncing, come
off the mound differently.
The council of the English association
voted to add fourth requirement to
the ball regulations which would def
mite hardness or depression with
view to obtaining greater regularity
in performance.

eyes, Diego Rodringuez Velasques
de Silva, a great painter" agreed the
friend.
HE was a great painter and to many
painters he was the greatest painter:
He was, in fact, the painters painter"
added Cobb and the friend agreed.
Cobb knows the old masters and the
modern. Knows Corot and Turner,
Whistler and Vegas, Millet and Diaz,
Melchers and Sargent.
And Cobb knows music. He knows
the classical in music. He is acquainted
with the works of the great composers,
the French, Italian, German and Rus
sian.
Surprises Musician
One evening Cobb sat in a famous
restaurant. The orchestra was offering
that evening a program OF classical
selections. During the intermisslon the
conductor came to Cobb's table and was
introduced. Cobb invited him to SIT
down. The composer asked Cobb now ne
liked the orchestra and Cobb criticized
certain phases of the rendition. The
orchestra leader, a really gifted music
ian, Immediately tried to corner Cobb
in a technical discussion. The attempt
failed utterly for Cobb dazed the leader
with his knowledge of the technique OF
orchestration. The conversation drlfted
to the violin for the orchestra leader
was a noted violinist and analysed the
merits of the various leading masters of
the instrument, supporting each state
ment with a brilliant collection of facts.
A stranger, hearing the conversation,
would have experienced difficulty In
choosing the musician If tod that one
man was musician and the other
was not.
He hos a knowledge of sculpture. He
knows Rodin and admires the work or
the great French master. The rugged
ness, yirility, power and force OF
Robins sculpture appeals to Cobb more
than that of any other man who works
in stone, wax, clay or bronze.
He has knowledge of precious
stones. He knows diamonds, pearls,
rubies, emerable, sapphires. He knows
the history of many gems. lie Is
Judge of diamonds and the nativity OF
the different diamonds, their cut, their
value.
The man who thinks he can sell Cobb
a modern Oriental rug for an antique
will soon discover his mistake. Cobb has
studied rugs. He knows his Bokhara,
Shiraz, Daghestan, Kermanshah, Sara
band, Kabistan, Mosul, KAYAK, SIENNA
Ghiordes, Kulah, Ladik, Beluchistan
and others. He has studied pattern,
weayes, color, history of rugs. He found
certain fascination in them as he has
fonnd fascination in most of the things
in life.
