.FINNS DISCUSSING NURMI
Scope of the Los Angeles Decision
Is Being Questioned.

HELSINGFORS, August 1.-THE
Paavo Nurmi sensation is not abating
in Finland, as confusion now exists re-
garding the actual scope CT the recent
Les Angeles decision.
Some of the leading Finnish news
papers assert, on the strength of pri-
vate information, that the congress
authorized Nurmi to continue his in
ternational career, provided the per-
mission of local associations is obtained.
They hold this decision ludicrous since
Nurmi had been barred from the Los
Angeles games.
Other newspapers state that Nurmi
has been irrevocably excluded from the
international arenas, and this opinion
is gradually gaining strength.
