His time was 9:27.8. Sports Mirror Assoslated (By the Pres) Cold Weather Slows Scholastic Trackmen Paavo Nurmi, Maki's Finnish Svengali, has announced quietly that the record will be broken. , bo there is nothing left to do except o over to the Garden and watch te undoing of the old mark. If you do you will be adding a little more to that rapidly growing sports fund for relief of innocent Finnish who were bombed by the Russians to make up for the insolence shown, by Finnish soldiers la resisting the Red invasion. . Maybe you havent heard about the curious relationship between Nurmi, the great trail blazer of old, and this bright-eye- d young Maki, who came' along to break most of Paavo's records. If anything, Maki Is a better runner physically than Paavo was the best day Paavo ever saw. But he lacks the old masters brain, hls supernatural sense of timing, hls sensitive appreciation of pace, and all the other things that Nurmi had In abundance. CHECK MAKIS SPEED Maki has run five charity races In this country. Just before tne first one, In San Francisco, Nurmi came to him and explained to him that the war had deprived him of a certain edge and ordered him to run an easier race than he wished race. to run. It was a three-mil- e I want you to run It in 14:15,, Nurmi told him, with that bleak air that trackmen assume when they are vivisecting seconds. Maki asked Nurmi to stand near the, track and they devised a set of sisals, with a view to quickening Makis pace now, or flagging him down then. Maki ran the race In '14:15.3, and won It easily. - And as hr trudged off the track he held out his hand to Nurmi, expecting his Svengali to embrace him. for coming so miraculously close to schedule. Nurmi gave him a wintry stare- - and wouldnt take his hand. He tapped hls foot with the Impatience of a country schoolmarm. Your sense of timing is atrocious, Nurmi fiYoull have to do betnally cried. ter. The pupil had displeased the master over a matter of- - three-tenth- s of a second. In Chicago, a few nights later, Nurmi said. Youre rounding into better shape. Your muscles are beginning to forget the war. Tonight I want you to run the three miles In 14 minutes, flat Maki ran it in 14:01.9. By now he felt as distressed over this grave error as Nurmi did. So In Kansas City, right after that and In a . race, MakLpromised to do better. Nur- ml had ordered him to run the distance In 9:05. He ran it in 9:05, and was beaten by a step by Walter Mehl, Maki might have beaten him, but to beat him would have meant disrupting that schedule. Maki hardly noticed that he had soundly trounced Genn Cunningham. who was third, far behind him. He hardly noticed that he himself was beaten. The important thing was that he had pleased Nurmi. r BY HAROLD CLAASEN STr JOSEPH, M0 March - 30. -(AP) All because of girl with blazing red hair, the 1939 title defending Galveston, Tex Anlcoe will be sitting on the sidelines tonight when thl 1940 Womens National .AAU Basketball cham-- , plon Is determined.
