July 23 Marathon race of 26 miles, 385 yards, with its historic background stretching into the musty past when Pheiddipides carried the good news of Greek victory frori Marathon to Athens, invariably one of the outstanding provide highlights of the modern Olympic Games. There is a suspense of waiting two hours and a half from the time the army of entrants leaves the stadium, until the first tired fl'.Pt---Th-e runner At least four of the first six to finish in the 1928 Marathon will step to their marks Aug. 7 here, including the tall Chilean, Plaza, who took second place; Marttelin of Finland, who was third, and Yamada and Isuda of Japan, who finished fourth and sixth, after leading the pack for s of the distance. It is history that winners of marathons had have frequently previous Olympic competion. South America has brought up another youngster as a strong contender in the person of Juan Zabala, who is credited wi;h covering the full distance in two hours, 33 minutes and 19 seconds, in a race in Europe in 1931. Zabala is the star distance runner of South America and made a trip to Europe to gain the benefit of competition. He returned home in the steerage in order to save money so that he ebuid come to the United States several weeks in advance of the games, for conditionfour-fifth- ing. However, while all of these veteran Marathon performers must be considered among the finest prospects for the 1S32 crown, the chief preliminary interest in the event centers about Paavj Nurmi, of Finland. He hopes that he will be reinstated to his amateur status in the International Amateur Athletic Federation meeting here, July 28. It has long been the contention of the great distance runners of the .world, meaning by that the runners of distances from three to ten miles, that if one of their number should really make an effort to win the Marathon, he'd leave the common or garden variety of Marathon runner so far behind that nobody would know that they were participating in the same event. WEIGHT TO OPINION Hannes Kolchmainen, first of the great Finn distance runners, gave considerable weight to this argument when, after having been the outstanding star on the track for half a dozen years, he turned up at Antwerp in 1920 and ran away from the Marathon field, setting a record which still stands. Joie Ray, the great American one and two mile star, came back after years of inactivity to place fifth at Amsterdam. Those who predict a Nurmi victory In case he is reinstated, point out that he might win. in one or two different ways. With his great natural speed by comparison with the average Marathon runner, it would seem to be a simple task for him to loaf alone at their comparatively slow place un il a mile from home and then run away and leave them. The second group of Nurmi enthusiasts, however, point out that Paavo would probably find it much more difficult to run slowly than to hit his swift ordinary pace and believe that if he hits off the first ten miles in under 55 minutes, which would be no trick at all for him, he would be sj far ahead that nobody possibly could catch him. . W EEKS REST FOR PAAVO It Is the opinion of many of the experts that If the great Paavo runs the 10.000 meters on the first Sunday of the games and then rests up for a week and tackles the Marathon on the second Sunday, that he will not only win the rae by blocks, but will set a record th"t probably never will b" touched. the race will start in thp stadium and will be run down towards the beach, doubling back by another route to finish in ihe stadium.
