Nurmi Broke Three

Paavo Nurmi is probably the
only runner in the world who
has broken three worlds rec

to win. In the {, 000-meter run
at the Knights of Columbus
games at Madison Square Gar
den the night of March II, the
Phantom Finn broke the worlds
records for 1000 yards, 1000
meters, and two and a half

Nurmi was, forced to quit, due
to severe cramps caused by eat

last Saturday to lay his case before
the New York Boxing Commission,
which perforce was compelled to-
swallow the Kearns pill because the

Walker finally accepted him as a
challenger, stipulated only that the
bout must be to q decision, the
weight limit lat pounds and
Shades end 12h per cent Of the
gate receipts, the customary cha1-
lenger percentage in this State.
This agreement, which Walker
signed last Friday, is q commission
document and Is binding only in
this State. Kearns has announced
that Jack Doyle. who promotes
boxing at big arena at Vernon,
1talff., just outside OF Los Angeles,
has accepted Walkers terms and
has set July II as the date Of q
ten-round title battle with Larry
McGrath. Of San Francisco, as ref

In all probability this transfer
does not please the New York
commission nor improve the lack
Of entente cOrdiaIe between the
commission and Kearns, who Is

Is permissible under the agree
u1enk and leaves the way closer
for Walker to box Greb on the
Italian Hospital card at the Polo
Grounds next month.
IN some quarters 1t is doubted
whether sIzearns and Walker intend
to 20 through with Shade In Cali.
fornia even IL Flynn agrees. The
wiseacres along Tin Ear alley
shake their heads obviously and
proclaim this move q mere subter-

AS 1t stands now, the Vernon
match Is not completed. IT re-
quires the signatures OF Shade and
Flynn. Walker. whose bit as
champion In this State IS only 37h
per cent, is said to have been Of
fered a flat guarantee-pr ohibited

taking so per cent of the Vernon

She works four hours in the early

There is great inspiration in the
