ALL TO COMPETE
IN BOSTON JAUN1
Nurmi's SpIurge at Classic
Distance Inspires His
FeIIoW-PatriotS.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n EW YORK, April 11.-While
M his old rival and coun-
Y tryman, Paavo Nurmi, is
busily engaged combating
charges of professionalism abroad
Willie Ritola plans to put aside
his carpenters tools shortly, climb
aboard thc Olympic bandwagon
and start ais comeback by par
ticipating 4n the classic Boston
A. A. marathon on April 10.
When he went to florida this Winter,
Ritola decided to start training for a re-
turn to the foot races. The one-time
Finnish American iron man, winner of
Olympic championships in 1924 and
1928, had heard Of Nurmis pans to try
the marathon. Three years sgo he hung
up his spiked shoes Gn1 concentrated on
the carpentry bu-i2ess bt, this year
presented too good cl opportunity for
a resumption Of Is Ga r-valry with
Paavo to be oTeIlCo--d.
60 Willie the i.cn-;,-&l with The black
- hair and the poun- ling stri1e. took
to the roads again to get himself
back into running condition. He re-
ports to his friend and adviser, Hugo
Quist, that he can now go the marathon
route at good pace. He is 36 years
old, two years older than Nurmi, but
barely approaching his prime, accord
ing to the Finnish distance running
standards. These hardy lads get better
with age. Forty is considered a good
age to start ma-athoning in a serious
way.
The long grind will not be a novelty
to Ritola, although he won his Olympic
titles at 5000 and 10000 meters and
ran his fastest races on American
tracks at distances of 2 to miles
Willie made his debut in the Boston
marathon of 1922 finishing second to
Clarence De Mar who set record that
year of 2:l8:10 for the cid 25-mile
course.
A MOTHER Finnish star coming back
n to the marathon wars is Willie
Kyronen, who com~eted for Fin
land in the Olympics of 1912 and now
runs a bakery shop in Brooklyn Ac-
cording to Quist. Kyronen, although
over 40, is running better than ever. He
not only will enter the Boston mara
thon again in which he has placed well
up many times, but hopes to earn
place on the Finnish Olympic team
once more.
Karl Koski like Ritcla a carpenter
by trade, also will enter the Boston
race. He, too. has been a leading con-
tender in marathon ranks and repre-
sented Finland in the last Olympics,
finishing seventh.
Nurmi, in Quists opinion, is capable
of doing the marathon in 2 hours 20
mirutes, provided conditions are favor
able The best Olympic mark is
2:32:35 As made in 1920 by Hannes
Kolehmainen. first of the great Fin
nish Olympic heroes

Most of the leagues wind up their
schedules this week, only few of the
larger loops going longer. Many closed
last week, including the District and
National Capital loops.
IRON a Washington standpoint, the
i past National Tournament was a
shallow one, compared to previous
Journeys. The best the District could
do was to have Chester Bid, in dou-
bles, pair with Ed Blakeney of Balti-
more and win, and have Lorraine GULL
and Freddie Moore finish on top in the
mixed doubles.

 Asper cleared his throat and looked at the floor.
 He was killed?" Dona faltered.
 Asper frightened suddenly as he remembered that Malloy had rid den out on an errand of his own making. "Malloy went out to get him and that boy can sure take care of a horse."
 "Malloy is good fellow, Dad" Dona murmured.
 The doctor stepped outside and Asper followed him. "She ought to go back to sleep and rest an hour or so more before Winters talks to her." the doctor said grave ly. "She will be sitting up to-nnor- row I never saw more vitality" He shook his head. "She will not stay in bed"
 Asper grunted and looked about the big main room. Dudley was no where in sight, but his door was open. Asper walked over and looked in. Dudley was standing be- fore the mirror, smoothing back his hair. He was as fresh us a newly opened rose. Asper snorted disap- provingly. Dudley dropped the brushes he had been running through his hair and stepped for ward.
 Has she wakened" hc asked. Asper nodded. Doe says you'll have to wait until she has had an- other sleep of an hour or two. Shes pretty excitable and wants to talk. When you do sec her don't talk about this business.
