Nurmi Is Second Choice In Farewell Appearance New York, Muy 2G F\>r th'* first time since a hot July afternoon in 1920 when he was beaten by the French flier, Olllernot. at the Antwerp Olympic games, Paavo Nurmi, world’s champion runner, will be a second choice when he goes to the mark tonight. at (lie Yankee stadium. in his farewell appearance in the I'nlted States Nurmi will attempt two things in the feature event of the card arranged by tlie FinnishAmerican Athletic club—he will attempt to beat Allen Hellfrich, the best middle distance runner in the United States, and to displace Ted Meredith's nine year old record of 1:52 1-5 for a half mile. Prominent, officials and coaches who gathered here today for the event were rather frank in the opinion that he could not. live up to his plans of doing the distance in 1:50 and that he would have the race of his life to beat the Penn State star. Nate Cartmell, Penn State track coach, and Lawson Robertson, head coach of the 1924 Olympic track team, said they felt sure that Nurmi did not have a 1:50 half mile in him now and that they doubted he would be able to beat Helfrich, as the A1& rican is in perfect condition and has pointed for the race of his life. Nurmi is not in the best shape. He is tired and worn out from the many tiips he has made and from the many l ard races that he has been through on strange tracks and in strange < limates. The weather will be against him tonight and the track at the Yankee stadium is not anything like the fleet cinder path in the Har-, vard stadium. There are too many turns on the track here for a world's 4 record half—unless Nurmi is much 4 greater than the superman he is gen- 4 erally recognized as being. .. f

Never before in the history of the running of the famous auto derby has 1 there been a paralleling practice period. Drivers appear at the track, clad in their Sunday best every day, peep in on their cars and then go away to a gymnasium to tughen muscles for a long, battering grind of Saturday. Several cars are already covered with tarpalilins. their motors smathed in oiled cloths —ready for the start of the race. There are more cars ready to start the race, with a driver's "okeh perfect" scratched upon them than ever before. That speed will be the order of the day is a foregone conclusion with the rapid laps that are being turned in. | The star drivers are fooling each other by not driving an entire lap at speed. They post members of their crew between two points and try for speed, then slow down at another part of the track so that rivals clocking them will be thrown off. However, it is safe to say, that there are five crack drivers who will be piloting cars that will be less than one mile an hour different in speed when the starter waves his red "go" flag. — o C. L.
