PIANO NURMI BEST
 FINNISH ATHLETE
Is Supreme Among His Country
 men and World in Sports

New oYrk. Jan. 29 Pl--Clas Thun- berg's defeat in every skating start on this side of the Atlantic goes far toward strengthening the oft-heard assertion that the Films are great athletes but that there is only one paavo Nurlni.
 Nurmi, marvel of runners at the Olympics, came to America last winter and for the first time in his life entered indoor competition. In his first effort he umblcd little Joie Ray of Chicago at a mile, and the fame that he gained that night was sufficient for any athlete, for Ray was America's best at that distance and had trod the board tracks for dozen years.
 Paavo gained and proved equal to the title, the "Phantom Finn" for he appeared in many cities of the United States almost always Nictor- ious, beating American veterans at their own game. Only two defeated him, Al Gottlieb of Syracuse univer- sity beating him to the tape Tn q handicap event by a sensational sprint, and Alan Helffrlch, Penn State star, conqueing him In half mile race at a night outdoor meet in the Yankee stadium here. Nurmis s last race on this side.
 Then came Albin Stenroos, middle aged distance star of the Films, but he failed by far to gain the prestige that Nurrni had known. Stenroos is the Olympic marathon champion.
 Thunberg's first apeparance in America found the American indoor champion. Joe Moore, opposed 10 him. Moore was the same to Thun- berg as Ray had been to Nurmi when the race started-the best in America pitted against the best In Finland, But the result was differ cnt, for Moore, followed by Charley German of Canada, who vest erday won the outdoor speed champion shin at St. John with 14o points, shot around the Finn after 2i4 miles , had been covered and continued to an easy victory,
 Gas felt that he had skatod a good race and in fact he had erased the American indoor two-mile mark when he reached that point, but American sprinting and short and numerous turns were too much for him. 1t can be said Of ThunberE that he made no excuses having to do with the new conditions that he faced, and perhaps he recalled that paavo Nurmi had changed his meth ods in a few days to defeat the best that America had to offer al their own game.
 Again Thunberg faced the same two men in indoor competition few nights later and again he tratlet but he said afterwards that he hoped 10 show Americans later that hi' world honors had not been mis placed.
 Then he went to st John where in the title meet just closed he ob' tained a mere third place in seriet of races. yet drew the cheers Of the ] Canadians for his sportsmanlikt conduct in defeat. He is expected tC appear in the Cnitcd States cham

Winners Fighting Spirit St.
 periOr..Church Reserves Cop

Breaking up a close battle in the final quarter the State Trade school triumphed over the south Church last night at the Boys club by a 4l-29 score. Always q jinX team 10 the church five, the boys from Bas- sctt street were hard pressed most of the way last evening, but finally asserted their supremacy and lomped in winners. Getting away to q slight lead al the very start, the trade school soon lost this ad- vantage and tho two iives matched basket for basket until the half ended at 16-l6. Early in the third quarter the South Church gained a @0-1S lead. but the trade schoo! pushed ahead and. except for one rally which brought the church within two points, kept drawing away from its opponents.
 The trade school won on its su. perior aggressiyeness following the ball more closely and fighting much harder than the losers. Nick Arena especially. was in the game every second and fairly rammed through for scores by his speed and tendcity The whole team contributed many amazing shots from all angles, Arena tossing one over his head while running almost out of bounds and Meczkowsh hurling one-hander from mid floor as he leapod into the air 10 avoid blocking guard. Cap tain Richtmyer and Rockcll also had a hand in piling up the total while Frost although ejected on fouls. kept "Lanky" Adams closely guarded.
 The South Church appeared to be somewhat off form and did not carry the fight in proper fashion, Adams worked well in spite of two close towering guards, Jacobi tossed some neat counters from the corners and the balance of tho team fought hard, but they could not stop the | trade school the way it was shooting last night.

He is described as being the most clever man at hand ling a basketball in these parts and last year with the C. C. Y. Y team, he made record that will not be equalled in some time.

The New Britain High school chalked up q victory over the St. Thomas Seminary team in Inc West Middle school gymnasium in Hart ford yesterday afternoon, winning out in tho last quarter by the score of .S to 20. The score was tied at l5 all at the end of the third quar- ter, but sensational passwork by Politis and equally sensational shots by McGrath who up to this time had gone scorcless, cIinched the victory for the locals.
 "Toote" Polits, playing his last game for the New Britain High school, was the star ol the team. Time and again it was through his work that the locals were able 10 keep pace with the seminary team. Tho Hartford quintet was consider ably weakened by the fact that the team was minus the services of it's star forward COrrigau who is ill.
 First Half
 The Seminary team started the lltlI lOlllHs lll lllt lt''Nl ' lltLl l'l " ll'4l McCann, the forward, caged two field goals. Lansky followed him with a free toss that. went cleanly through the hoop. 'Politis, standing in the middle of the floor dropped d field goal Cl"anly through the hoop for New Brtain's first score and he followed moment later with q foul goal just as the quarter ended, leaN- ing the score 10 in favor of the scminarians.
 Politis scored again on another sensational shot at the opening of the second quarter and Scully fol- lowed him with another field goal. McCann tied the score with q neat goal from the side court. Kelley, the Seminary center, was fouled as he was about 10 shoot and he made
 his two free tries good. Zaleski then came around the side and slipped in a field goal, tying the score at all. Then Matulis scored another to be followed by Kelley
 just as the whistle blew, leaving the score tied at II all.
 Sccond Half
 The third quarter opened with he Seminary five squirting. McCann scored q field goal and after a short time of play, Kelley followed with another. Both teams fought hard, inc Seminary throwing up five man defense that New Britain could not penetrate. Towards the last quarter, Politis dropped a long shot , through the hoop and after a short time, he tossed another from the contcr of the floor tying the score for tho third quarter at IS all.
 New Britain showed excellent team work in the last period. A beautiful pass from Poitis to Nc Grath the length of the floor, result cd in a field goal. It was the first score by McGrath for the game. Another pass of the same sort re- suited in another and still another pass gave New Britain 21.
 1.he Seminarians came in with q rush and McCann and Kelley both scored, making it 19. Politis scored
 another to make it 23 and his mates
