Saturday nights heavy down-pour,
in addition to doing a world of ma

baseball fans Of their Sunday sport,
when the scheduled contest between
the Weslaco and Brownsville entries
in the Amateur Legion league, was
washed out.
The battle was due 10 have been
staged at the Victoria Heights dia-
mond. which turned out to be a
quagmire Of mud in the spots that
were not miniature lakes at game
time.
Weslaco, judging by the rain in
her own neighborhood, did not take
the trouble TO come down for the
contest. but phoned instead, officials
Of the local ball club say.
All other battles scheduled in the
loop during the day also were rained
out, and the double-header season is
on for fair in this section.
The occasion marks the first since
the season opened that a single game
has had TO be postponed on account
Of weather conditions.
All contests probably will be played
as parts Of double-headers later in
the season, according to league Off

been little short Of a procession
for Finland's distance running aces.
Kolehmainen. Nurmi and Ritola

Ritola will be back again +'is year,

duel with Jean Bouin Of France be-
fore winning the 5,000-meter race

From all accounts that 5,000-me-

1920 by heating Nurmi, then only
10 years old, in the 5.000-meter race
at Antwerp and handing Paavo his
only Olympic setback. Nurmf got
revenge on Guillemot in the 10000
meter race. In 1924, Paavo broke
the Olympic record in the 5000 but
stayed out Of the l0.000-meter event,
which went to Willie Ritola in rec
ord-smashing fashion.
Second place is the best an Ameri-
can has ever gained in either Of
these races. Lewis Tewanima, the
Indian, was Tunner-up to koleh-
mainen in the I0.00O-meter race in
1912. In the 5000 meters the same
year George Bonhag was fourth and
Tel Berna fifth. Since then the
only American point winner in either
event was Johnny Romig, the former
Penn State runner, who was fourth
to Nurmi in the 5000 four years
ago. Not a single Yankee placed in
either race in 1920.
The outlook is brighter but not
sensational this year. Lermond, a
rugged youngster, should give a
good account Of himself at 5000 me-
tiers. In the longer race. his Bos-
ton club-mate, Robert Dalrymple,
is nominated as our best bet by
Jack Ryder. his coach. Joie Ray has
his heart set now in doing the mara
thon but if his feet cannot stand
that route Joie nay turn to either
the 5000 or 10000 with n good
chance Of doing something. Among
the college men, Bill Cox of Penn
State and Dave Abbott Of Illinois,
are good prospects at 5000 meters.
