She supposed she might as well, but

She was still upstairs when the

she'd spoil the fun.

1t was really very good evening
for a beach party-freezing cold by
the lake, especially after the sun went
down. They had to tear around to
keep warm. They ran races in the
sand: tripped each other up; wres-
tied. Wallace Carter did tumbling
stunts-cartwheels and things-and his
sister told him Edith could turn them
better than that.
"Show him, Edith!" the girls all
chorused, and Edith did.
They sang songs afterward, around
the fire-close harmony, somebody
called it, and it went as pretty
good joke. Well, they had to pack

They weren't quite so wild going

"Well-good night" he said again,

She perceived his desperate resolve.
He was going to kiss her.
But there was no adorable pucker
of frown between his eyebrows. He
was looking sort Of silly. like sheep.
She got her hand back, though 1t took
a good sharp wrench to do.
"Good night" she called to him
light-heartedly, as she skipped indoors.
It was after she'd undressed that
she noticed her unfinished letter to Ed

something to add to 1t now.

WORLD TRACK ACES
HIT BY SUSPENSION
Neither Nurmi Nor Ladou-
megue Likely to Compete
in 0Iympics.
BY HERBERT W. BARKER,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
"A YEW YORK, April 4.-Within a
month charges of professional
ism have been leveled at two
of Europe's greatest runners,
Paavo Nurmi of Finland and Jules La
doumegue of France, and, in all prob
ability, neither will be eligible to COM
pete in the Olympics at Los Angeles
this Summer
Ladoumegue's name was stricken
from the rolls of the French Amateur
Athletic Federation on March 4 and
yesterday, at Berlin, the international
Amateur Athletic Federation suspend
ed Nurmi from all international COM
petition.
The action against Nurmi was taken
pending the result of an investigation
into the famed Finns amateur status
now being undertaken by the Finnish
Athletic Association at the behest of
the I. A. A. F.
EDETAILS of the charges against
H. Nurmi never have been 0i ulgcd
nor would J. Sigfrid Edstroem of
N Sweden, president OF the l. A. A F.,
throw any light on them al Be- in yes
4 terday. 1t was said, however, that the
#CNlQC dBdlLlSO IlIC SlGdG OISIdllCC
n ner was so strong that the suspension
\ was inevitable.
Ladoumegue's case also came be-
fore the international body, the
French delegation submitting evidence
\ to justify its action in striking his name
from the rolls. So far as Ladoumegue
is concerned, his only chance of COM
peting at Los Angeles lies in his un-
likely reinstatement by the French
federation before the Olympics begin.
The charge against Ladoumegue was
that he received payment, in disguised
form, for competitive appearances.
NIURM1S case is somewhat different
~ If the Finnish association gives
him a clean bill of athletic health
in its final report, then the inter-
national federation apparently can do
nothing but lift the suspension, it
placed on him yesterday.
Before they ran into official inveSti-
CATION both Nurmi and Ladoumegue
were regarded as almost certain point
winners at Los Angeles.
Ladoumegue, whose 4:09 l-5 mile
last Angus bettered Nurmi's official
record Of 4:l0 4-10. although it has not
yet been accepted by the I. A. A. F..
was considered one of the most formid-
able contenders for the Olympic 1900
meter title.

~ EPRESENTATIVES of most Of
- the high and prep schools
N around Washington have told
l. Everett Eynon, special delegate
representing the District Golf
Association in an effort to arouse in
terest in an interscholastic champion
ship. that many entries may be ex-
pected for the tourney, and that sucA
an event, if held this year. will draw
in the ne.ghborhood of 100 youngsters
to compete for the first time In for
NAL school individual championship.
Since his appointment on March IA
by the District association as COM
mittee of one to inquire into the pos
sibilities of fairly representative en-
try list for such a tourney. Eynon has
seen members of the faculty and stu
dents at most of the high and prep
schools around Washington, and re-
ports that the youngsters are going for
the idea of an interScholastic tourney
in big way.
II really think" Eynon says. that
We should have big entry list in a
tournament of this sort. The high
and prep school boys never have had
such an event and they all say they
would like to play in it."
Eynon will make a report on his in
quiries to the District Golf Association
within a few days. Meanwhile the
high school authorities are drawing up
a schedule for the Dawes Cup matches,
played between golf teams representing
the Washington high schools
Central High School team has been
consistent winner in the series for
the trophy presented four years ago
by the then Vice President of the
United States, although the Western
team has given it strong opposition.
Tech will enter a team this year and
Business may put team in the field.
The high and prep school youngsters
never have had an individual inter-
scholastic tourney other than an III
formal gathering among themselves.
The idea now is to hold such an event
under District Golf Association aus
pices and open it to all high and prep
school players in Washington and
within a radius of 80 miles of the city.

NURMI RUNS OR FINNS
MAY BOYCOTT GAMES
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.
Special Gable Dispatch to The Star.

cpeCldl CdDle OISpdICn 10 Inc star.
DERLIN, April 4.-If the noted Fin
- nish runner Paavo Nurmi is ex-
cluded from participation in the
coming Olympics at Los Angeles, the
entire Finnish team threatens to boy
colt the games. Furthermore, accord
ing to the Firms, if none but clean
athletes" are permitted to participate
most of the events will be held with
out contestants
These are the immediate reactions
to Sundays decision of the Interna-
tional Amateur Athletic Federation,
meeting in Berlin in the absence of the
American representative, that, pending
investigation of his case by the Finnish
Amateur Athletic Association, the won
der distance runner, Paavo Nurmi, will
not be allowed to participate in any
track meets.
The Nurmi case, boiled down, seems
to be as follows:
Certain Germans approached the
International Federation with vouchers
signed by Nurmi showing that he had
received large sums for participating in
German contests. Under pressure from
the federation, the Firms decided to
investigate the Nurmi case. Really, the
Firms deeply resent this pressure and
seem determined to stand up for their
right to send professionals to Los
Angeles. They do nct-in private-hide
their belief that Nurmi may have taken
money, but they declare that virtually
ali other so-called amateurs are doing
the same thing and that therefore
amateur rules are obsolete
The federation counters by announc-
ing that it intends to have a commits
sion on the grounds at Los Angeles
examine the credentials of all the COM
petitors for their amateur status. And
SO the prospects for a frst-class fight
are outlined, with the International
Federation on one side trying to rid
amateur athletics cf current abuses and
the Firms on the other trying to save
their idol, Nurnli by having the rules
interpreted as they see them.
