NEW YORK. May 29.-—In demo
onstreting that Paavo Nurmi had
bitten off more than he could chew
in attempting to win a half mile

scratch race against an outstanding

1 performer Alan Heli‘frlch, the Penn
state flier. merely confirmed the
I Judgment of track specialists as set
forth .when the lace was arranged.

Nurmi had nei er run a cempetl-
tire half mile race and those who
are versed in track affairs regard.
ed. his challenge of Helff1lch as fol-
1y. assuming he wished to leave this

4 , country with his well won prestige

' , intact.

As a matter of fact there is no
reason why the Finn's reputation
should suffer at all because of his
. beating by the Penn State middle

distance man. but the American
public is not inclined to look be-

yond the facts of any given case and
' the fact that he took on America's

greatest half miter at a distance
L that was strange to him is not likely
1 to be considered

, On the other hand there is no

doubt that Paavo let him right in
'for the risk he took and that his

eyes were open when he did it.

There is a possibility that he had a
sort of morbid desire to hand a
" shock to his enemies the newspaper

l

men and photographers all of whom
he has more than once classed as
“no goof.”

But it is far more likely that he
went in fully expecting to win.

for than anyone "and the manner in
which in the past he has selected his
distances and announced the time
he would turn in is evidence of his
usual excellent judgment. especially
in view of the fact that his figures
were always correct.

But in the Helffrlch' affair he
guessed wrong, that is he did if he
really went out expecting to win. He
met a man who likes to go out from
the gun and run his rivals into the
ground—just as Nurmi does.

Alan not only defeated the Firm
by six yards but in doing so was well
under Ted Meredith's record of 1.52
1-5 made ten years ago. Hclffrlch’e
time was 1.66 4-5.

Nurmi led until 150 yards from
the finish when Helffrlch put on
speed and passed the Finn. Fifty
yards from the tape Paavo was a
hepeiessly beaten man.

It is the first scratch race other
than .one when a veal pie caused
him to quit that he has lost in this
country and in all distances from
three-quarters of a mile to 10. 000

 

yards he knows no equal

HE HAS BEEN DOING HIS BIT

By NORMAN E. BROWN
Whatever else may be said of life
New York Yankees. their weakness»
es and shortcomings it must be said
that Bob Meusel has done what he
could in his wao small way to keep
the sic-champions in the melee.
When Babe Ruth returns to his
old farm the burden ofzilltting home
in the day’s
work will fall once more on his
shoulders. But lileusel can now be
given credit for trying towkeep the
home-run honors in the Yankee
family while the Big Babe was re-
covering from too many hotdog’s
and fried potatoes and the resultant
ills.

With Babe Ruth out of the cir.
cult clouting race Meusei stepped
into the breach and "bottled Ken
Williams and the other A. L. hitters
for home run honors and rambled
along at a pace that made Leo Hart.

keep up the morale of the team—
very- wobbling most of the time.
at Meusel Joined the Yankees from
the Pacific Coast before the days
of bloomers in that. tongue. The
Yanks paid a. fancy price for Bob
but not $75,000 or 8100.000 as was
paid for Paul birand. Jimmy O'Con-
nell, Johnnyldones, and others by
molar owners.

Bob hasn't even found a. regular
place in the Vernon team's lineup in
'the months he had played with
them. He joined Vernon in 1917 and
played four games at first that year.
The next season, during the time he
was with the club he played two
games in the outfield. The next year
he played the whole season through
at third base.

But wherever he was a. field. he
carried his big bat. His hitting, more
11min anything else. caused Yank
scouts to urge the bosses to buy
him.

 

He enameled between third and

the outfield his first year with the
Yanks and hit .328. Then Huggins
placed him in the outfield for good.
He b came one of the meanest mem-
bers f the game's greatest ball mur-

Come the heydays of the Yanks‘
regime. Ruth climbed the dizzy
heights of fame and succumbed to
the glamor. He made Mouse a. bud-
dy. Bob wasclassed with the “tem-
peramental", ones. Huggins. it was
said had much trouble with him.
But. liieusel kept on seeking the ball
—and that is'somethlng.

The Yanks. when they gathered
at St. Petersburg. Fla... in the spring,
were determined to battle their way
back to the championship. The ac~
qulsltlon of Urban Shocker. they felt,
was the one thing needed to return
them to the throne:

Then came the illness of Iiuth and
the collapse of the, pitching staff.

Berlenbach is no combination of a

way of catching even the swiftest

fight in streaks. He has but one idea,
and that is to surround his man at

there may be a better opportunity to
ascertain which club got the better

well enough for a champlopshlp out-
