champions. in sport have a secure
hold upon their thrones but nothing
less than-an :"IiI"lil‘ miracle can
dislodge I‘;:;.\‘o .\'urmi from his
grasp upon the scepter of distance
running lliis year. At varying dis-
tances. under all sorts of conditions
and against all classes of opposition
the l‘humom i‘mn goes racing on
to the glory of Victory and world's
records.
Athletic experts thought Xurmi
had rcncllld his greatest heights
when he raced to four Victories at
the 3102-! Olympics but his perform-
ances indoors within the past two
months have steadily added to his
sensational record. in that time be
has registered 2'3 world record feats
in 22 races. Paavo‘ himself. near-
lng the age of 28. thinks he has yet
to attain his best form and hopes to
blaze a record-wrecking trail at dis.
tsuces of from 800 metres
marathon wrthtn the next five years.‘
Outdoors he now holds practically
all important records from one to
seven miles and indoors. since Jan-
uary 6. he has hung up nearly thirty
world's records in a. score of races.
Spectators think of Nurmi more
as a. machine than a pcrsonaiity.‘
Rare powers of concentration. cou-
pled with a. superbly conditioned
body. uncanny Judgment of pace
and faultless style. form the founda-
tion of his remarkable success.
Coffee is his chief stimulant and
he often drinks several cups on the
tiny of a. race. An apple between
races helps tide him over a partic-
ularly strenuous evening's program.
Just now Nurml's most danger-
ous opponents indoors appear to be‘
Lloyd Hahn. of the Boston .1. A. !
who has lowered the Finn's records
for a mile and 1,500 metres. and
\‘I lllis Ritoia. sturdy countryman of
the invader. who is more at home
at longer distances. Either of this
pair or Joie Ray or some star that‘
has not yet flashed to the front may
take Paavo’s measure before
closes his campaign. but the odds
will be against such an upset. Nur~
mi has not yet tested the limit of
his speed and stamina. Ho achiev-
ed what experts declared the in:-
possible when he raced two vmilcs
in less than nine minutes. Likely
he will perform many more "im-
possible feats before he is through.

times they do come back, but do
they ever come back twice? That is
the question Jack Scott is going to
answer while the Giants are train-
ing here for the 1925 pennant raos.
John McGraw's National League
champions began work in earnest
today. and not the least earnest of
the twenty-one players in the squad
was old Jack Scott. or “Long John"
Scott. it you prefer not to call a man
of thirtystwo old.
Scott has had a baseball career of
ups and downs that .would sham.
the most spectacular gambler.
llrcaking into the big league about
1218 he had speed. curves and what
is known as baseball seals. a com-
bination that promised him a bright
future. For a few short. years with
the Boston Braves that promise was
realize-.1 and then Just as he was
reaching the top, his arm went back
on him.
Traded to the Reds in the spring
of 1922. he reported to training
camp with a sore arm, and after a
brief trial and several examinations.
in which the doctors agreed that. he
could never pitch ’ugain. he was
made a. free agent. Scott than be-
came a baseball derelict. He know
only one Job and- he could not work
at that. Finally. in the fall of l!”
his rovlngs brought him to New
York and the Polo Grounds.

It was one of those frequent tim-
needcd pitchers

in spite of the doctors he maintain-
ed that he still was one. McGraw.
over kindly to ball players. gave
him a chance. What he did with it
is baseball history. He was the hero
of the world's series. beating the
. Yankees in a crucial three-bit game.
One more success was staring John
Scott in the lac..- and once more it
somehow eluded him.
From the peak attained in that
world‘s series he gradually slipped
back until in the wznter of 1928 .\lc~
Gruw shipped him to Toledo. He
did well there.
Now he is back with the big league
team. a cilanlplunship club and a
sure championship contender. and
back with the man who gave him his
lirs‘. chance to prove that he was
not all through as a pitcher. lie says
that he is as good as he ever was
and so far as outuard appearncea
go. he is but only the test of big
league competition who prove whetb
or or not he can defy all the rules of
sport and become that unique fig-
ure, the trier: who came back twice.

STAMFORD. Feb. :7.—
Playing their. last game of the sea.-
sen on a foreign court. the Orange
and Black basket toners will Jour-
may to Ansonla this afternoon where
they will meet the Ansonla High five.
The locals took a close- game frorn
the Ansonia quintet earlier in the
season and by virtue of their over-
whelming victory over Fairfield
Wednesday which proved conclusive-
ly that they have recuperated from
the slump which has dogged their
path for the past week. are expected
to repeat their early season victory
this . afternoon.
On March] the last home game
of thc season will be played on the
High School iloor with the Masses
school. At the conclusion of the
regular season Coach Boyle will de-
vote the remaining time to stilt prac-
tice in preparation for the state
tournament at New Haven which is
to be held in the later part of
March.
Xe change in the local line-up is
expected to take place in the game
with Ansonla. but it is expected that
Maurice McCarthy. star guard who
has been out of the game for the
past three weeks with a badly in-
jured finger. will start the bis-see
school same. McCarthy's return
will strengthen the local lino-up
materially and should improve the
team's chances for a win at the New
Haven tournament considerably.
