 New York. Jan 29-Defeuts. rather than conquests, featured the second night of the annual Millrosc A. t., indoor meet, that of ugo Fri eerio, Olympic champion, by Willie Plant of New York, the best in America standing out in the list of rcycrsals.
 Paayo NurmL apparently uncou. quorable accom- plished the expected. establishing two world records in q two and one-half mile event for the famous John Wanamaher cup hich was won for three successive tluca by the American, Joe Ray of Chi. cago. In 1924 Ray captured q leg on the present trophy but last night dropped out of the race after Il few laps. It was reported before tGe event started that he would not pur. ticipate.
 Nurmi has gathered fifteen world records since he came America Last night he outran marks sGI by Ray by reaching the mile and a quarter in 5;30 l-5 and the mile and q half in 6:3J 2-j. He ran steadily after taking the lead at the sturt and finished well ahead of Wi!Ia Goodwin of the New York A. C.. who, however, made an exceptional showing, for Paavo has lapped many & man during his visit.
 America Wins
 Plant, facing the other European invader Frigerio, walked 10 what seemed an easy victory over a dis tance of three miles and 1855 yards. Those who saw the Italian perform on the previous night were of the opinion that he was not at his best, for he appeared content 10 finish the race and at no time attempted q sprint such as that which took him to victory on Tuesday, Plant, how ever, performed beautifully with tAc capacity crowd shouting encourage mcnt and at the end l7rigerio con- graduated the victor by kissing him on both checks. Plants time 22d6 5-5, established an indoor record.
 Some of the interest was taken out of this international contest when it was announced that George Gou4d- ing of Canada, former Olympic champion. had withdrawn and had retired from competition for all time. He was ordered to remain out of the Millros0 race by the club s physician after examination. Gould ing stumbled twice in his first start in New York in eight years on Tues day and he admitted that these fails hurt him, spraining his left thumb and giving him trouble with ms elbows and knees.
 Scholz Is Beaten
 Another upset came when Jackson Scholz, Olympic 2Uo-metre champion went down to defeat twice oasore Loren Nurchispn of the Newark A. C., in the G0-yard dash and the 300- yard special. Scholz proved to bc his own official in the short sprint, declaring that he had been beaten in q trial by J. J. Sullivan of Boston College although thc meet officials called it dead heat. The Olympic star refused 10 run in the finals.
 In the ."So0" Scholz started in, ,hc lead but slipped at the first turn and went down, only 10 bound back to his feet and continue in fourth place. Murchison won 1his event.
