NURN| FOR

That Answers Silence Of Hos-
ton A. A. i'm Not Announc-
ing His Entry
BY EDDIE HURLEY.

BOSTON, Jan. 20. p aavO
Nurmi, the phantom Finn" who
shattered seven world records in
three races since invading this
country, wants the B. A. A. to
arrange special event for him
if he accepts their invitation to
compete in the annual Unicorn
games to be staged at the Boston
Arena, January 81. Nurmi is not
anxious to start in the Hunter
mile, the race which local track
enthusiasts expected him to enter.
The mysterious air Of silence
that surrounds all mention Of the
Firms name in connection with
the B. A. A. games Is answered
by the request Of Nurmi to ar
range q race at q longer distance
than the mile.
In spite of the fact that NurTni
shattered the world indoor record
for the mile In his first race In this
country, when he was clicked in 4
minutes 1925 seconds at the
Finnish-American games In New
York, the light.haired miracle
runner is not anxious to compete IN
further mile tests.
The b. A. A. continues to re.
main silent concerning NuFnlt.
They refuse to admit that Nurmi
has asked for q longer distance
and thus far they have refused 10

failure to accept their invitation to

Nevertheless, it is expected NurTni

ready has stated that he viii run
here If the B. A. A. viii agree to
stage a race for a longer distance.
And while the Hub awaits the
news concerning Nurmi, track en-
thusiasts are assured Of the greatest
sprint duel ever witnessed in the
Hub in the invitation 4o-yard dash
event.
Frank Hussey, nineteen-year"
old scho6IbOy, q member Of the
Z. 8. Olympic team and hailed as
the next world sprint king, will
make his indoor debut here at the
B. A. A. games. His entry was
received yesterday.
It was a turn of fate that yester-
days mail brought the entry of
Loren Murchison, Newark A. c.,
king of indoor sprinters. With
Murchison and Hussey already en-
tered. the 40-yard dash 10 expected
to prove the most brilliant indoor
dash event ever witnessed here.
Although their entries thus far
have not been received, it is ex-
pected that Jackson Scholz, winner
of the 200-meter event at the Olym-
pic games, and Chester Bowman,
Syracuse flier, also wifi accept invi-
tations to compete for the Briggs
trophy in the sprint classic.
