the outdoor cindef path, the writer
would back him to win against the
field every time out; But the Finn
will find conditions varying with
every race he runs indoors.

compete on a comparatively small
track, which will mean much
crowding and elbowing at the
turns.
This would be nothing short OF

However, he will find few indoor
tracks as much to his liking as the
banked-turn affair at the Garden
with it's long straiglIt-aways That
track as nearly parallels outdoor

therefore, proved little beyond the

sprains and injuries about the base

who heads the staff of physicians

More than a week may pass be-

of Lewis hurts. Although it is
possible Lewis condition may sud.

The former champion spent a
restful night at st. Luke's Hospital,
where he was taken in an ambu-

developed thus far, physicians said.

This stunning event may happen

ened from two miles at Nurmis re-
quest, although it is fact, not fancy,
that he can run any distance from
a. Quarter mile to ten faster tnan
any man the world has known. IT
might appear from this that Nurnil
sees something coming.
Two days later he is to step out
in a special mile and quarter race
at the Illinois A.. G. games in Chi
cago. The distance was increased
the extra two fur!ongS, also at
Nurmi's request. He evidently has
no intention of trying to repeat
his Olympic program, in which he
ran and won races at 1,eOO, 5000
and 10000 meters, with heats, in

are not markedly disslmilar.

This is Tuesday. This CONVEX

piled.
The report shows other Giant
players questioned at the hearing

supposed bribery OFFER. Ross Young.
Giant outfielder, and Frank Frisch,
captain Of the Giants, both denied
any knowledge Of the affair.
Young's answers to questions put
by the commissioner were definite
and showed much better memory
than did DoIan's.
When asked if he had noticed
O'ConneII and Dolan talking IN
the Polo grounds club house OF
on the playing field, Young lie
piled that he did not.
Did you notice anything unusual
about the playing of any member
OF the Philadelphia club on that
day?" Young was asked.
'I did not" he replied.
Young denied ever having talk
ed with O'Connell or Dolan about
the affair.
sDid you tell O'Connen to go
ahead and offer Sand $500 to

'T did not" Y0ang answered.
Have you ever heard of this
affair before, Mr.. Frisch?"
