 Nurmis race on the first night of the Millrose meet over a distance of three-quarters of mile promises to put the "Abo Antelope" to one of the severest tests of his American campaign. This distance Is a trifle short for Paayo and will give his opponents, including Joie Ray, Lloyd Hahn, Leo I.arrivce and Jimmy Con- molly. better chance to win than at any other mark.

George Lermond and William Cox.
 Frigerio will make his first start in n three-mile walk in which he will concede liberal handicaps to his opponents. George Goulding. fla nous Canadian walker and former worlds champion, who is staging q comeback to meet Frigerio, is to star in another handicap feature on Tuesday night. On Wednesday f'rigerio. Goulding and Willie Plant, premier American heel and toe star, arc to meet in a special 5.00O- meter event confined to these three international stars.

 The Millrose and Boston A. A. events rank among the most i'm portart of the indoor season, and tnelf. programs, with Nurml and Frigerio as headIiners, promise to witness spectacular competition. Schools, clubs and colleges from many parts of he country will be represented by an array of nation- al, Olympic and college champions.

OHIO POWER co. TURNS
DOWN PURCHASE OF PLANT

The Ohio Power company which
has had an option for the purchase
of the local electric light plant, has
turned downs the proposition. This
means as matters now stand that
the Ohio Power company will not
build their lines to this place Just
what will be done at present is not
altogether plain. The local COM
pany may consider sale of the plant
to some other party, or they may
decide to get busy and rebuild the
plant sufficient to take care of the
demand for electric power. While
the Ohio Power company has a So
year franchise here, we understand
that they would assign it to some
other party. We regret that the
deal for the plant did not go
through, and that the Ohio Power
Co. is not coming in, and hope that
some way may be worked out in or
der to supply plenty of electric pow
er for this locality.
