AMERICA S
BEST
Famous Flying Finn Entered
in Two Races, Mile and
5,Ooo-Metr0

NEW YORK, Jan. e.-Paavo
Nurni, featuring the finest set Of
running legs in the history of
athletics, will display his flying
slianks before the American public
for the first time tonight at Madi-
son Square Garden in what has been
termed 1.-THE race Of the century
Just what race IL referred to IL
not made clear. Nurni will go to
the post in two races, q mile and
five thousand-meter event, and In
each he will take on the greatest
runners this side Of the Atlantic.
He will be q lone Finn against

races at the Paris Olympics will
Nurmi sentiment has been fostered
not only on account Of his great
ability but because the cards seem
stacked, against him. He will find
the board floor tracks just ~ diff
fcult to negotiate as did josef Gull
limot, the Frenchman, several years
ago.
He will also find Willie Ritola, q
fellow countryman, waiting for the
gun in the five thousand.meter race.
but not with the extended hand Of
friendship. The compatriots are
bitter enemies,
On form alone, Nurni would be
an oddS-on favorite to win both
events. But with the existing con.
ditions, the critics give Ritola bet
ter than an outside chance to de-
feat Nurmi at five thousand meters
and also look for the rejuvenatesl
Joie Ray to give the Finn the race
Of his life at the mile. Jimmy
Connolly. Lloyd Hahn, Walter Hig-
gins, Leo Larrivee and Lowdendahl,
second rate field, make up the
rest Of the field In this race.
Nurmi has been declared to be
In excellent condition for his Ameri-
can debut and has requested that
special timers be placed at. $500
meters and three miles during the
two races. This indicates that sshe
hopes 70 break no less than four
records during the evening.
Ray informed friends in this city
today that he considered himself
about a week short OF top form,
hut was ready for the gun. Con.
molly stepped a 4:19 mile less than
a week ago with Higgins at his
heels. Records seem ordained in
both events.

STEALS CORN FOR LOVE; IS FREED
Theft Turns Out to Be a Custom;
 Loser Glad

Budapest, Feb. 17.-One of the most unusual cases ever heard In Hungary recently was before the court in the little provincial town or Osli, when eight farmer boys, caught in the act, were charged with walk ing off with 20 pounds of corn stol- en from a widow named Voeroes' They not only pleaded not guilty despite the fact that they admitted the theft, but produced a sealed document from the widow in which she declared that "she and her daughter Sarika counted it an honor that Franz Kiraly (the ringleader or the eight) had considered thelr house worthy of this distinction.
 The judge was nonplussed' l suppose the widow fears your re- venge?" he asked.
 NO, your honor" Franz kiraly replied, speaking for the group You see, in our part of the country there is a custom by which every year. after the corn has been mar vested, a large pot of corn meal IS placed on the stove in houses where there are grown-up unmar- ried daughters. The lover Of the oldest daughter must steal this corn To facilitate the theft the family leaves the house for half an hour after the corn meal has been placed on the stove. The greatest disgrace that can happen to the family con- sists in the corn being left un- stolen"

Y. W. |. A. DRIVE.
 GETS UNDER WAY
Campaign Outlined at Supper
 Served in Gymnasium

The Y. W. c. A. drive opened last night with a supper to workers in the gymnasium. Arout 80 workers are enrolled, representing a cross section of the membership and it is expected to make over 1000 calls during campaign week, which will close with a luncheon next week Tuesday.
 In the meantime team workers will report at luncheons on Wednes- day and Friday of this week to be served in the gym at IF o'clock. Posters and circulars have been dis tributed throughout the city, in banks, hotels and the stores. Some of the latter have interesting win dow displays. B. c. Porter's will be shown a model clubroom exhibit; at the Sloan Shoe Shop a display of shoes approved by the national board of health department; the filling Rubber Company is showing sport apparel in connection with athletic activities at the Y. W. c. A. and in the window of F. c. Monier is an exhibit of Girl Reserve work and costumes.
 Mir. L. A. Sprague gave some val uable hints to workers last night, covering the preparation of workers in such a drive, the attitude of the workers to the subscriber and the appeals to be made to different types of people. Short talks were also given by Miss Gertrude Fossett, the physical director, Miss McKown the girls workers, and Miss Brugger, the industrial worker, describing what their work consists of in the classes and club groups, all with the hope of getting the workers ac- quainted with the program of the Y. W. and contributing to the sue cess of the weeks drive.
 At tomorrow's luncheon, reports will be given by teams of the pro- gress of the work so far.
