Mohammed considered himself
a prophet inspired by God. He
did not yet look upon himself as
an envoy Of God Then he had
new vision" His believers as
sert that the Angel Gabriel said
to him:
oh, prophet. make known all
that has been revealed to you by
your Lord. II you do not do it,
you will not have obeyed his mes
sage. Tell about good and evil as
it has been taught you, without
fear Of the pagans."

him and left.
He then called a meeting in the
market place and was derided.
But he went 10 the outskirts of
the town and there made converts
among the poor, the slaves and
the women.
The rich and powerful would
have nothing TO do with him. So

was true prophet. they asked.
why did he not perform miracles?
Mohammed replied:
Il am not a maker of miracles.

The Moslems were beaten.
Mohammed himself had his
cheek pierced by an arrow. A
lance crashed his steel helmet

his Jaw and he lost some teeth.
The Meccans might have cap

n YEW YORK, July 8.-Paavo
n Nurlni, as stOnd and uncOm-
municative as ever, arrived with
nine other Finnish track and
field stars on the liner Mauretania to-
day, intent on winning the Olympic
marathon at Los Angeles and then
hanging up his track shoes.
interviewed as the big liner slowly
felt her way up the bay through q light
log, Paavo said ii his suspension was
lifted by the International Athletic
Federation and he won the long grind
at Los Angeles he planned never to race

charges of excessive expense ac-
counts and failure to appear at sche-
ouled meets, and answered most of the
questions put through an interpreter
with shake of the head or nod.
Nurmi did say he was glad to be
back in the United States and that he
liked this country very much. but he
was non-committal on other subjects
including his own condition and the
chances Of various athletes in the
games.
A MONG the members Of the Finnish
n party was Lauri Lehtinen, hailed
as Nurmi's successor at the shorter
distances and who recently broke
Paavo's world records for the 5000

Weight Worry, Sande Quits
American Turf to Try French

in France, where I will not have to
worry constantly about diets, road
work and steam boxes"
WEIGHT has been a constant bug
w bear for Sande since he gave up
riding and turned to training his
own horses three years ago. In 1880,
however. he entered into a contract
with william woodward to ride Gal
liant Fox, and with Fox carrying 126
pounds in most of his races, Sande was
in his element.
William Ryan, American sportsman
racing a large stable in France, was in
strumental in persuading Sande to de-
sert the American turf.
In invading Europe, Sande will be
following in the footsteps of other great
American jockeys, notably Tod Sloan
who rode with great success both in
France and England.

BY GRANTLAND RICE.

T OS ANGELES, Calf, July g.
There is no official record of
l. how many lanterns Diog-
enes wore out in looking
for an honest man, but the out
put was more than carload.
If Diogenes had been a track
and field coach he would have had
Just as much trouble in locating
some athlete blessed with perfect
form.
Bobby Jones. for example. was the
top of form in golf but ne would never
claim perfection for his swing Walter
johnson, the Coffeyville cyclone, car
ried more style and form than any
pitcher I ever saw. But there were
flaws.
When you get into the matter of
track and field athletics, most coaches
and trainers are on the cynical side,
much after the manner of foot ball
coaches.
Most of these track and field coaches
go back from 20 to 40 years, where
their trained vision can tell the Slight
est flaw at one quick look. So it was
something of surprise to hear Boyd
Comstock, the noted coach of the Los
Angeles A C., announce that at last
he had looked upon the perfect styliSt
of the running game.

that I found out my present training
arrangement.
In the Summer I start the circle at
7 am. 1 begin by walking some to
10 miles at fair speed, approximately
IL minutes TO the mile. The object
of this walking is to get the body loose
and supple, but it helps at the same
time partly in the actual running. You
will see that when you walk such a
stretch at my speed you will not need
to run as much as you would other
wise be obliged to do without the walk.
I am pouring with sweat when I get
home again, have a thorough good
wash and then start gymnastics. /
have prepared a special program-six
minutes series Of movements tending
to extend and contract the sinews.
Then have a small snack, generally
coffee and bread, after which I go to
the sports grounds. There I start with
a number Of sprints for 70 to 120 yards,
and after that with my watch in my

mile. at full speed. A few minutes
res and then I go on the track and
take two to three miles at an easy
speed. Then a wash again. Now 1
am ready to go to my work.
In the years 1929 trained twice

and had TO keep in bed for a long
time 1 was obliged when better to go
in for harder training again, so as to
be fit for the Olympic Games. there
fore trained twice every day. 1 held
out and found the training good for
me, so I continued in this way for four
years. I have found out later, how
ever, that one thorough exercise in the
day is quite enough.
And I have stuck to this one time
a day since then.

COME of the men who play golf at
- Chevy Chase have been giving
Frank P. Reside a lot of good
natured joshing, for whenever Frank
hits fine shot he calls out, That's it,
boys. I've got the secret now" The
other day Bob Stead, chairman Of the
club Golf Committee, played in four
some with Gene Larkin, C. Ashmead
Fuller and Richard P. Davidson. Stead
was going badly and they told him
about it plenty But as he crashed out
a 140-yard tee shot on the sixteenth
hole he laughingly said, Boys, I've got
the secret now"
Davidson and Fuller both said, yeah,
you've got the secret, all right.
You have three brides for 60"
which Stead laughingly admitted.
The following day the same four got
together in another friendly links joust
and Stead came in for much of the
same joshing. But he turned the tables
on them, for when they started to kid
him on the eighteenth tee, he said,
well, I don't think you fellows are so
hot I've got A for 10, and further
more, I'll get it." Which is just what
he scored. Fuller also scored 10.

ID the closest approach to a perfect
runner is Gene VenZke, Pottstown' S

at 4.IO and then proved his outdoor
class in the Boston trials Venzke is
now hard at work for the Palo Alto
test next week where he will have
plenty of competition over the 1900
meter route.
II have studied VenZke's form, y
Comstcck says, from the bottom of his
feet to the top Of his head-foot action
knee action-body action-arm action
head action-every detail that great
runner needs. Maybe I am little

the downswing. So, if the player
stands a bit behind the ball he will
get into the proper position at i'm
pact.
In a heavy following wind Mitchell
also takes the club back slowly and
braces his left hip to preserve bal
ance. And. as the duffer might not
suspect, he shortens his swing. This
further increases accuracy.

THE argument then developed as to
J. whether he was more perfect
runner than Nurmi of Finland or
Ben Eastman of Stanford.
Comstock was quite ready to pay
unlimited tribute to both Nurmi and
Eastman in the matter Of running
form.
There is always a general tendency
TO figure form and style unimportant
against other qualities-such as natural
speed. power and courage-but don't
overlook the fact that in an Olympic
gathering the winner must have all
these oualities-plus form.
Venzke, for example, has all these
qualities Of determination, courage and
natural running skill. From that point
