NLLRlM ALI SET TO FLASH AT MADISON SQUARE MEET
Finnish Runner Will Have to Show His Best to Beat Joie Ray and Associated American Stars.
By The Associated Press.

New York, Jan. 6,--Paavo Nurmi, greatest of the worlds runners at 1,500, 5000 and 5000 metres on cindor tracks, a reputation estab- lished at the Olympic games in Paris last summer, awaits the crack of the pistol in his first indoor event at Madison Square Garden tonight,
 The annual Finnish American Athletic club meet has been built around the sensational invader from northern Europe and the contestants have been arrayed strategically. Joie Ray Of Chicago and Jimmy Connolly will he among his oppo- nents in the mile event early in the evening and Willie Ritola, a coun- tryman, will be in the 5,000-metre Held at II o'clock. Never did a runner face a greater test than this two races in one night on an in door track, to which he is unaccus- toned, against superb athletes
 Track enthusiasts insist that con- ditions indoors will bother the sturdy little Finlander, in that he must make numerous turns on a board track. where they were few and far between at the Colombes stadium. The outdoor air will be missing.
 Against Ray, considered by Amer- jeans the greatest of indoor milers, Nurmi must show his best speed over the shorter distance. Ray, al though he has declared that he needs another week of conditioning, is supremely confident, He knows boards, and comes back to competi- tion with determination to erase certain black marks which appeared recently against his record. Con- molly, collegiate champion, while a student at Georgetown, covered the distance in minutes, 19 4-5 sec onds a few nights ago at Buffalo. He, too, aims to conquer,
 { Despite Nurmi's ability to with stand the rigors of two events in one day, demonstrated on several occa- sions, Americans look for the most stirring competition the Finn has 4 ever known, a gruelling test of stamina. The mile, necessarily. will be furious tussle and there will be no opportunity for the invader to save his energy. Two hours later he must race against Ritola, considered a distance marvel in himself. The possibility that the large American field in the mile might sacrifice a paee-maker was mentioned today,but found little favor, and 1t Is expected that Nurmi will have every chance to show his mettle against the field as individuals.
 Comparisons of past performances would have little bearing on the Finn's appearance tonight, as it will be his introduction to indoor run ming. The others have had their tests. Regardless of the outcome, he will remain the Nurmi who estab- lished three world records in the Olympic games of 1924.

As result, arrange ments were made with Fatieeni and several days ago he appeared in the "Y'' pool and performed these and g. number of other equally as surpris- ing stunts. In reply to questions, the swimmer averred he had taught his principles to several members of his family without difficulty and could do so with any apt pupil.
 Director Hergstrom is planning to, bring Faticoni to the Springfield Y. NJ. c. A. college next week for an exhibition before some of the most eminent swimming authorities in the cast, and if they concur in the opin- ion of local friends, Faticoni plans an effort to capitalize on his unusual skill.
 Plans were started for public ex- hibition of the unique swimming stunts in the Y. M. c. A. pool but it was agreed that this would be impractical since the accommoda-

TIGER FLOWER WALLOPS
 BRITTEN IN THE FOURTH
Boy From Kansas City Loses on Technical Knockout to Hard-.
 Hitting Negro

Boston, Jan. 6.-Tiger Flowers, negro middleweight of Atlanta, last night scored a technical knockout over Billy Britten, of Kansas City, when the referee stopped the bout in the middle of the fourth round. Flowers had the best of it from the opening bell Britten was groggy and bleeding from the nose when the referee stepped in. Flowers weighed in at 165 and Britten at 164 pounds.
 Flowers swarmed over Britten from the start, landing at will with stiff right jabs and left hooks to the jaw and body. Britten landed an occasional right but was unable to do damage. The Tigers blows seemed to lack power, however, fail- ing to put Britten down for count Britten was weakening fast under a fusillade of rights and lefts as the referee ended the bout. Flowers best blow was right jab which he used continually.
 Willie Gradwell, of SomervilIe. won the decision over Battling Budd, of Atlanta, Ga, a sparring partner of Flowers, in the eight round semi final. Gradwell led all the way.
 Clementc Saavedra, Chilean heavy- weight, scored a technical knockout over Yussell Pearlstein. in the first round of scheduled eight round bout Pearlstein was dropped for the count of six by heavy over hand right. After he took a second short count. his seconds threw in the towel.

Angelo Faticoni, Aged 65, Claims and Actually Does, Unusual Aquatic Stunts in Unusual Man. ncr.


 At the age of 65. years, Angelo Faticoni of 26l Washington street has developed new theory of swimming through the employment of which he performs Q number of amazing stunts in the water and which, swimming authorities who have seen him perform declare, will rcvolutioni2e the teaching of swim ing. providing his theories are such as can be conveyed to pupils.
 F'atlconi's skill in aquatics was brought to the attention of authori- ties at the local Y. NJ. C. A. last week by Attorney s. Gerard Casale who had met the athlete in a pro- fessional way. When the attorney advised Physical Director Joseph Hcrgstrom that he had uncovered q man who can stand upright in the water with his hands exposed and maintain his equilibrium without movement of any part of tho body. the "Y" director was inclined to be a bit skeptical; when the attorney added that his man not only could

PEERLESS LOSE
 ID B0YS' CLUB
Prove No Match for Speedy Locals; Reserves Also Win .

Darting in and out among their opponents like the Three Musketcers, the three offensive stars of thes Boys club quintet broke through the de- fense of the Peerless Big Five of Torrington time and again last night to run up 40 of their teams 42 points while their guards held the visitors to half that score. Captain Mickey Luke and his welI-paired forwards, Matty Mieszkowski and Pete Kerele- jza, all had their basket eyes In the best order and continually dropped the ball in from all angles and dis tances and the outcome of the game was never in doubt from the open lead at the whistle. -.t
 The orange and black players started with & rush and completely swept the Peerless team off it's feet in the first quarter. amassing IS points before the visitors scored on a free shot. The Torrington boys seemed unused to watchful referee. ing and fouled many times in this period. Woodland being sent out on personals just before the close of the first quarter, which found the Boys club leading by IS to l.
 The visitors found themselves in the second period and battled viz orously to overcome the locals lead, struggling uphill to 15-9 before Luke dropped in a foul shot which set the club in motion again. A few seconds later, Luke sent the crowd into an uproar with a beautiful heave from the center of the court. Although outscored during this quarter, the club still held a 22-10 lead at the whistle.
 This lead was cut another point in the third quarter, when the Peer less quintet showed it's best stuff of the night. Hand. the red-topped center of the visitors. frequently broke up the home teams passing and dribbled down the floor to sink a shot. but the Torrington lads were still far behind.
 The final quarter was all New Britain. Cutting loose with their full display of passing and shooting, the club had no difficulty at all in pene- trating the Peerless defense and mak ing 12 points in TOW. D. McNamara visiting guard, injured his leg in a collison with Arburr but was able to continue play after time had been called. During the last few minutes the visitors were forced to confne their efforts to hopeless shooting from three quarters of the way down the floor, and the final whistle sounded with the locals leading, 42 to q.
 The passing and all-around team work of the victors was even more responsible for the winning of the game than the individual display of shooting. Arburr, Gotowala and Ny borg almost invariably breaking up the invaders attacks on the home basket. Hand played fine all- around game for the visitors. The score:---

Just five years ago at this time, Hod Eller, then star pitcher of the Cincinnati Reds, world champs, was baseball's greatest hero.
 Eller was basking in the lime- light that is now being turned on Walter Johnson for his great come back in the final game of the series with the Giants.
 Today Hod Eller is patrolling a beat in Indianapolis trusty officer of the law in that fair city.
 Baseball fame is fceting and the hero worship that was once Eller's has entirely faded out. He is no longer a world series hero, just Hod Eller, pitcher for the old home town in the summer, officer of the law in the winter.
 In the fifth game of the 1919 world series Eller became the out standing player of the year by a most remarkable exhibition of pitching.
 StruCk Oub Ninc heH
 The big right handler shut out the Chicago White Sox 50, allowing only three hits, two of them by Buck Weaver. He struck out nine men.
 It was in the second and third in nings of this game that Eller per formed a feat unequaled by any other world series pitcher, six suc- cessive strikeouts.
 l was one of the umpires fin the 1919 world series and l doubt if I ever saw 6 pitcher have more stuff on his fast ball than Eller did that afternoon. In making this state ment ! am not excepting Walter Johnson at his best.
 Prior to the series it had been hintod that Eller was trick pitcher, that he doctored the ball. Since Cicotte of the White Sox had the same reputation, the two clubs ap- parently decided not to argue the issue.
 Used Only Fast Ball
 II might be interesting to know that in striking out six successive batters, Eiler didn't use single curve ball.
 Every strike vas a fast ball that was either struck at and missed or called. If I remember correctly just one ball was fouled by Eddie Collins of the SIX men who faced Eller.
 Prior to each pitch I noticed that Eller would rub the ball across his breast. It was also apparent that he might have something under the shirt of his uniform, as there was a white spot on his left side about the size of a football across which he would draw the ball.
 have since heard from National league players that Ellcr had q por- ton of his shirt saturated with resin and in rubbing the ball over his shirt he drew the baH over the resin prior to each pitch, This en- ablo1 him to roughen the ball get a petter grip on II, causing the ball to take more deceptive break.
 Hero of the Hour I cannot vouch for the authen- ticity of such statement although some members of the Cincinnati club later told me the story, as well ts other National lcaguers.
 Filler, to cap the climax of inc series, pitched the final game, win ming 10-5. With a nine-run mar gin he eased up in the eighth in- hing Chicago scoring four runs.
 The brass band welcomed Filler at the station on his return to Cincin- natl. He was the hero of the event
 That was just five years ago Now Eller has been forgotten by a majority of big league fans
 He's just a policeman, but appar- entity a mighty good one. His first time out he assisted in capturing a daring desperado, with just as much casc as he took the Chicago White Sox in 1919.
