--—
NEW YORK, June 8.—(/P)—Gunder Haegg is here to
run, and let us hope he does not run into the difficulties
encountered by Paavo Nurmi when the flying Finn came to
this country some 18 years ago. It was practically an ob
stacle race from beginning to end, with Paavo-the-great
suspended so often he was a human chandelier.
He was suspended for not appearing for meets. He was
' suspended for appearing in meets, when it was charged his
expenses were too expensive. He was suspended for this
and for that, and between suspensions, and sometime dur
ing them, he continued his as
tounding career of record
breaking. „ ,
He had arrived m New York
in December, 1924, and in his first
public appearance he shattered re
cords for the mile, and the 1,500
meter and 5,000 meter events in
the Finnish-Amerlcan games.
The first hint that trouble was
in the offing was the. scramble
among promoters for his services
and the necessity of untangling
some of the situations developing
from an over-ambitious schedule.
In one instance he was booked to
run in rival meets at Buffalo on
successive nights.
It was not long before rumors
were floating around that Paavo
and his expenses were running a
dead heat. That is, both were set
ting records. His manager, the late
Hugo Quist, hotly denied the ex
pense charge, saying Nurmi got
absolutely nothing for his services,
and only $7 a day for expenses.
Plus, of course, traveling money,
which sometimes is an item.
Anyway, the first suspension
was not the result of expenses. It
was the result of his failure to
appear for a meet at Hartford,
Conn. He claimed he had a fever,
and the claim later was sustan
tiated and the ban was lifted. He
also failed to appear for a Kansas
City event, and the Midwestern
A. A. U. promptly put the ban on
him.
Meanwhile, the expense fuse
was burning, and it finally reach
ed the keg of powder. Des Moines
and Kansas City AAU officials
alleged Quist had demanded ex
horbitant expenses for appearanc
'CS.
The Western State Normal school
cancelled the star’s appearance
pending outcome of the contro
versy over his amateur status,
and A. A. U. Secretary Frederick
W. Rubien ordered an investiga
tion.
Rubien cancelled all appearances
until Quist answered the charge of
the Drake Relay committee that the
cash demand was too high, but it
was a hallow suspension, as Paavo
was permitted to run at Fitchburg
and Worcester, Maw., a few days
later.
The day his exoneration was an
nounced, Nurmi announced that
he had split with Quist. The rea
son was not given.
All in all, it was a hectic tour,
and when Nurmi was ready to pack
his duffle bag and go home Rubien
said the flying Finn had received
offers totaling $250,000 to turn pro,
including one of $60,000 for a 20
week engagement with a circus.
He came back later, in 1929.
and promptly got back in the old
rut. He was suspended for failing
to appear in the National Indoor
Games. That suspension, like the
others, was as loose as sand and
it was not until he got back to
Europe again and the International
Amateur Atheltic Federation put
the ban on him after the Finnish
A. A. had questioned his amateur
status that he seemed to be
through.
Gunder Haeeg comes to our
states with a record-breaking
background similar to that of Nur
mi. Acute management may en
able him to avoid the pitfalls that
the great Finnish runner seemed
unable to dodge.

Protest On Dead Ball
Finished By Harridge
DETROIT, June 8.—m—'The De
troit Tigers learned today that a
protest lodged by Manager Steve
O’Neill against alleged use of the
so-called dead ball in the second
game of a double-header May 31
at Philadelphia had been disallow
ed by American League President
William Harridge.
General Manager Jack Zeller of
the Tigers said Harridge’s decis
ion pointed out that a supply of
the balata balls had slipped into
the day’s allotment for the Phila
delphia-Detroit double-header, pre
sumably because of an oversight
by Umpire George Pipgras. The
balls are identified by tiny star
thaped markings.
Harridge asserted that the dead
balls also had been used in the
first game which Detroit won 7 to
0. The protest followed Detroit’s
4 to 3 defeat in the nightcap.

Skeet Jame’s Blades, who toppled
Camp Davis from the Cape Fear
league lead in an upset Sunday,
will meet the Welders at Legion
field Wednesday in the only mid
week contest scheduled for the
league.
The Engineers, currently on top
in the Cape Fear, postponed their
scheduled game with Camp Davis
until Thursday afternoon at the
stadium and the Sheetmetal Work
ers are left opponent-less by the
vacancy in the league unless a
last-minute opponent develops.
The league directors are still
working toward securing a sixth
team.
According to Manager James,
who has contrived to secure more
pennants in the past than any other
pilot in the circuit, the Blades are
on the upgrade and promise to con
tinue better.
E. T. Auld will start for the
Blades and Pate Fish for the Weld

was over and that the miners’
advice to the operators was to
stay away from the War Labor
Board because no good could come
from the War Labor Board.”
Burke said the operators’ re
port to the WLB tomorrow will
be devoted to a discussion of the
case, issue by issue, and will ask
for an oral hearing.
“Whether it is public,” he said,
“is up to the board. It is all the
same to us. The board asked us
for a report on the issues sub
mitted. We will say that no agree
ment was made on the issues and
that the parties are too far apart
tc get together through collective
bargaining.”
The joint wage conference is
scheduled to resume at 10 a.m.
tomorrow but participants indicat
ed that the meeting would be held
merely in conformity with the
rules of the conference. The min
ers reportedly are unwilling to
break off relations formally at this
time. Under the rules, no motion
can carry if there is a dissenting
vote.
During the day there were re
ports that the operators were
ready to toss back to the War
Labor Board the controversy over
pay forunderground travel—a step
which may lead to WLB settle
ment of the dispute or a new pro
duction stoppage crisis.
After fruitless meetings today,
both sides expressed pessimism
over prospects of agreement.
Since the 15-day period during
which the WLB ordered collective
bargaining will expire tomorrow,
it appeared the owners will have
to report to the board then that
negotiations are stalemated. This
would put it up to the board to
make some new move.
However, John L. Lewis, head of
the United Mine Workers, has
steadfastly refused to recognize
that the board has jurisdiction over
the case, or to accept any orders
from it. If the board should take
action displeasing to him, he and
the UMW policy committee might
ignore it and make no modifica
tion in the work order under which
the miners went back to their
jobs bn Monday after a week’s
strike.
This order directed that they
were to work "up to and including
June 20.”

score of 5 to 3 in an exhibition
game.
The Cape Fear League leading

Babe Dahlgren Sailing
Along In Batting Path
NEW YORK, June 8.-Babe
Dahlgren, who has had a hard
time keeping a regular job in the
major league, isn’t having any
trouble at all keeping the batting
lead in the National league.
The versatile infield star of the
Philadephia Philies, who moved
into first place more than a week
ago with an average of .368, still
had a mark of .367 today and was
well out in front of all rivals for
hitting honors in the senior circuit.
His closest competitor was Stan
Musial, the flashy outfielder of the
World Champion St. Louis Cardi
nals, who was second a week ago
and improved his average dur
ing the week by seven points to
.352.
Arrayed behind this pair were
Harry Walker, St. Louis, .348;
Billy Herman, Brooklyn .335;
Frank McCormick, Cincinnati .325;
Stan Hack. Chicago .321; George
Kurowski. St. Louis .319; Tommy
Holmes, Boston .313; Johnny Mc
Carthy, Boston .309; and Lonnie
Frey, Cincinnati .305.
Except that Walker and McCor
mick improved their averages and
their positions, the makeup of the
first ten hitters followed the gen
eral outline of last week and the
only newcomer was McCarthy,
who took a place vacated by Bill
Nicholson of the Cubs.
Besides ranking second in the
percentages, Musial had the lar
gest total of hits, 57, and was
runner-up in runs scored, doubles
and triples.
Dolph Camilli of Brooklyn has
scored the most runs, 34, Herman
has hit the most doubles, 17, and
Jim Russell of Pittsburgh the most
trioles, seven.
Herman also has batted in the
most runs, 36, one more than
Vince DiMaggio of Pittsburgh, the
home run leader. DiMaggio has
rapped out seven circuit clouts,
two more than Danny Litwhiler of
St. Louis (who hit them all while
with the Phillies) and Nicholson.
Frank Gustine of the Pirates has
stolen the most bases, five.
Buck Newsom of Brooklyn and
Truett (Rip) Sewell of the Pirates
were tied for the pitching lead,
each with six victories and one
defeat.

Famous Runner Declares
Dartmouth Reminds
Him Of Old Home
HANOVER, N. H., June 8.—
After sniffing the cool, clear air
and gazing at the surrounding
wooded hills, Gunder Haegg, the
sensational Swedish runner, who
has seven world records to his
credit, today compared his Dart
mouth training quarters favorably
with his homeland.
“This reminds me of the country
around Jamtland, my northern
Sweden birthplace,” Haegg said
through Sig Steinwall, his inter
preter and masseur, when he ar
rived here from New York. "I’m
sure I will like it here. It's so
cool and quiet.”
Steinwall, a former Dartmouth
ski coach, added that Haegg de
sired rest and solitude more than
anything else for, he explained,
his internationally famous charge
has not had time to become ac
climated after his 27-day tanker
trip from Sweden to New Orleans.
As soon as Steinwall had Haegg
settled in the Dartmouth football
coaches’ quarters in t h e Davis
field house, the former took him
downstairs to view the lightning
fast sixth-of-a-mile board track on
which Glenn Cunningham ran his
4:04.4 mile, the fastest in history.
Haegg’s accepted record for that
distance outdoors is 4:04.6.
