BERLIN, May 9-What Boston beans and pork is to the Yankee, Loeffelerbsen init Speck is to the Berliner. It is a dish of yellow peas boiled with cubes of bacon that will stick to the ribs" and has always been very popular with Fritz. The peas are called Loeffel (spoon) peas because you could not eat them with a knife even if you wanted to.
 Back in the early nineties, a chain of popular restaurants start ed selling portions of Loeffelerb- sen init Speck at 7h cents a "go." Customers ate them off rough deal tables. Prices have since gone up for peas and bacon just the same as for other com modities, and now portion costs 20 cents. But it is served on a dainty handicapped table, with a table cloth on it. These restau- rants serve 4,OO0 portions of Loef- felerbsen init Speck day, sum- mer and winter.

 The Prince of Wales bought a home in Surrey some months ago. Lord and Lady Lee of Fareham, who gave Chequers to the nation for the use of prime ministers, have returned to White Lodge Richmond Park. Several wealthy people who have country estates in the north or west of England find the weekend journey to those places tiring, and have bought small houses, 20 or 30 miles out. which they can easily reach from the West End after theatre or other functions.

 The greatest band of milers America ever mustered was ship ped to the 1912 Olympic, but they were outrun and outgeneralled by the young English collegian, Ar hold N. s. Jackson. There was no fluke to Jackson's victory, for he shattered the Olympic record by nearly seven seconds, but be- fore the race he had been con- ceded little more than an outside chance against such American aces as Abel Kiviat, Norman Ia Der, John Paul Jones, Mel Shep- pard and others. Seven of the fourteen finalists were Americans, and three of them, Kiviat, Tabor and Jones, appeared to have the race to themselves until Jackson, to quote the official story, "came on, passed the pumped out U. s. A. men with gigantic strides and broke the worsted three meters in front of Kiviat, who suffered a complete surprise"
 Some years later, Jackson, now resident of America, told this writer he thought the Americans had killed their chances by too much early sprinting.
 Four years ago Nurmi won the 1900 on the same afternoon he captured the 5000'meter race, shat tering the Olympic records in each. It was a romp for the great Finn after he had shaken off the American. Ray Watson. For two thirds of the distance, Watson stuck to Paavo like a shadow, as he had been instructed to do. It was dramatic as far as it went, but Watson finally faltered, 300 meters from the finish, so badly spent that he was unable to fin ish among the first six.

M OLYMPIC 7I5Oo@
By ALAN J. COULD Associated Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, May Eff there outside of sprinting in which America has most eagerly sought supremacy it is in mile running.
 Yet it has been twenty years now since the United States has won the 1500meter race, Olympic equivalent of the mile. This championship has shifted to Fin land after a sojourn in England The worlds record for the mile, long a cherished American pos session, has now been held by that Phantom of Finland, Paavo Nurmi, for five years.
 American prestige in the Olym- pic 15O0 has skidded downward without interruption since 1908 when Peerless Mel Sheppard scored the last Yankee triumph. Subsequently, the best America could do was second in 1912, third in 1920 and fifth in 1924.
 So it will be something to cheer about even if Lloyd Hahn, Ameri- ca's chief hope this year, is only able to check this decline. It will be cause for national athletic jubilation if he is returned the victor, as many of his ardent fol lowers expect.
 Hahn, successor to Joie Ray as the king of American 'milers, is by far the best prospect this country has turned out for the 1500 meters since 1912. Ray was never at his best abroad, but Hahn, with the experience of one Olympiad al ready behind him and an early start in preparation abroad, should be at his peak in Amsterdam.
 The rugged Nebraskan ran sixth to Nurmi in the 1500-meter race at Paris four years ago. Ably coached by the veteran Jack Ky der, he has steadily improved since then. He has shown enough speed to run the fastest half mile of all time and also set the worlds 1500-meter record indoors.
 After tackling superlopposition in the Olympic 800 Hahn will find little respite in the 1500 against such cracks as Nurmi, the world s record-holder and champion, Edwin Wide of Sweden, Lowe and pos sibly Stallard of England, and Peltzer of Germany. The Ameri- man has raced all of these men, however, and beaten two of them in this country, Wide and Peltzer
 Hahn will play virtually lone hand in the 1500, as well as the SO0-meter races. Ray has turned marathoner, and there is no other miller in sight of the Nebraskan class unless Nick Carter, Ray Con
