UP STATE TEAM
WILL TEST
PALACE

The Rochester Centrals, an organ.
ization that has been in the fore
front of basketball for twenty-thrce
years, will come to this city Sunday
to play the Palace club.
The New Workers. have been in the
running for premier honors in the
court game for nearly a quarter of
q century. The present aggregation
that will face the Palace club has
been playing together for four years.
The team that faces the Palace
club here on Sunday is composed OF
Barry, MUMMY, Messenger, Cullen,
Topel, Murphy and Rabin. The play
ers are noted for their passing game
and team play. Unlike the Fort
Wayne, Ind, knights which played
Palace last week, Rochester has no
outstanding star players unless they
be Barry and MUMMY.
The Rochester Centrals use no
players other than those who live in
Rochester, N. Y, and who have
learned the game in that city. No
foreign stars are imported. The
team played fifty-three games last
winter, winning forty and losing
thirteen. or the thirteen defeats
ak were administered by the Celtics.
Inc famous NC" LOIh ptdSCAo WIN
three Of these games by two points.
The teams defeated by the Roches-
ter Centrals are the Kingstons, the
Fort Wayne Knights, Red Arrows,
Brooklyn Visitations, Buffalo Hew-
tits, An-Syracuse and Rosenblums,
of Cleveland.
The recent victories over the Ha.
gerstown Elks, the Kingstons and
Fort Wayne knights, of Columbus,
has boosted the stock of the locals
materially. The Palace club was
not at it's best on Sunday. when it
stopped the Fort Wayne team.
The Palace club Is improving rap
idly. Victories in the last two
weeks have put the team in the van
of the best clubs in the East. Co
naty, Benzoni, Haggerty, Schmeelk,
Cooney and Bushman are being
welded into an unusually smooth
team.
The Rochester Central-Palace club
contest will probably be preceded
by a fast local contest. 1t is expect
ed that the STATIONS and Eagles
will play.

Do LOOMS Declares PaaVo
Has Only Kidded His
Competition
By DAVIS ]. WALSH,
~ q Sno-ta EdikoP.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-After
watching Paavo Nurmi deposit his
fifteenth indoor record in the
athletic fnorgue, while winning the
Wanamaker mile and half last
night, 10 Loomis, national cham
pion of another day and age, de-
livered himself of the opinion that
the Finn has merely kidded the
great American public to date.
Loomis thinks that, not unlike
John Paul Jones, Admiral Perry,
or somebody who said he had just
begun to fight, Paavo hasn't even
begun to run.
The man who has made the rec
ords fall right and left in the path
OF his twinkIing toes has only given
eighty per cent Of his best since
coming to America, the ex-cham-
pion declared.
Nurmi, he says, can do half
mile in 1:49, the mile in four min
utes, two miles in nine minutes and
on at a corresponding speed up to
ten miles.
This talk of Nurml's wonderful
achievements is joke" said
Finn in most of his races here.
why that man can take every one
OF the fifteen records he has made
on our indoor tracks and break
them all over again by as much as
five seconds. The public seems to
be dazzled by his performances but
Il has missed the vital fact that the
man has been under wraps in every
race"
LOOMS added that he didn't
consider Nurmi q limelight seeker,
and that, therefore, no one would
really see him run until new
and almost equally gifted con-
tender Is developed. The present
LOT, he says, win not do at all: IN
fact, ought to be given handicaps,
JOie Ray included, in order to
make the business interesting.
six or seven years ago Ray
would have made Nurmi step some
and you would have seen records
created that would make the present
standards look sick Loomis de-
clared. But Joie is not the runner
ne was, in spite OF general opinion
TO the contrary. This idea, / think,
mas been fostered by the fact that
RAY ran Ala for the mile against
Nurrni. But it is fallacy. Seven
years ago Nurmi would have carried
Ray along at least seconds faster
than he can do now.
"As it is, Nurmi's competition Is
such that he plays around during
a race. In the special three-quarters
on Thursday night he did every
thing a runner shouldn't do, and yet
he won, pulled up, in record time.
am not criticising his tactics, how
ever, because / think he knew per.
fectly well that he didn't have to
resort to strategy.
''Nurmi has a miliion-doltar pair
of legs, and they tell me ne is very
intelligent. That Is an unbeatable
combination. If he really makes mp
his mind to run, no record VIII be
safe, from Ted Meredith's half-miIe
mark on up to ten miles"
