Track of ficials last night awaited definite word from the Finnish sensation, Paavo Nurmi, a-s to the prospect of his remaining, in this country for several more scheduled appear ances. Friends of the Olympic champion, who has established more than a score of world records sijiee com ing to the United States last Decem ber, said that an examination s by physicians today undoubtedly will answer the question. Nurml's remarkahie systejn fail ed at one of the critical points of his track career. In a 5,000 meter race against his greatest rivtl, Wil lie Ritola, his stomach failed him. Physicians said that a meal of meat shortly before therace brought on an attach which drove him from the competition four laps from the finish after he bad broken three world records on the way. The breakdown also prevented a meeting with the little Chicago star, Joie Ray, who has lost many records to the light-haired Finn. Ray ran the mile to equal Nurmi's world record of 4.12. After meets in New York March 21 and 24, Nurmi is scheduled to depart on a journey which will take him to the Pacific coast. Hugo Quis, manager of the Olym pic champion's American tour, said last night that Nurmi will resume his schedule and go through with it unless the attack occurs again. Quis plans to stage an outdoor meet at the Yankee stadium following Nurmi's return from his long tour on April 15, in which Ritola would be given another opportunity at the thousand meter distance. Nurmi was reported as much improved and able to take a short walk during the afternoon. ST.

How many games will Ty Cobb plar this year, his twenty-first season In the majors? Throughout the winter It has been frequently reported that he Would play just 100 games. "Do you intend to play, only 100 games of ball?" I asked hjm. "I have set no definite number but I doubt if 1 play more than 100 games. It probably will be less." In watching the team go through its sprouts I noticed -that Cobb worked sparingly. I was positive there must be a reason. Hia reply to my query as to the number of games he would play answered it. "I feel .great but find that I must condition myself slowly. My legs, arms and body d not buck on the work but In the evening I suffer. "I am taking it slowly, but rest assured I will be In good shape when the season opens. I intend to start in the regular lineup. "How long I remain in there as a regular depends entirely on my physical condition and the caliber of my play. "I have always gone well in the spring and early summer. I hope to be as good as ever until about July 1. That's when I begin to go stale. "However, if I am stepping along well at that time, of value to the club, I will keep on going until auch a time as I feel tho old legs have reached a stopping point. "After I once leave the lineup as a regular I serloualy doubt if I will return as such. My present inten tion is to act as pinch-hitter and take the place of some outfielder who has been Injured. "I still feel that I can hit the ball just about as well as ever. It would be foolish for me to argue that I was as fast or covered as much ground. "I venture to say the last three years I have annually lost at least 25 hits on ballB to the Infield that I would have beaten a step in the old days. "My play will be guided by "my physical condition and the way I am going. It's a cinch I won't play over 100 games, perhaps 75 would be closer to the number. "Incidentally I feel that as the race tightens, which is certain, I can handle my team better from the bench. It's much easier just to manage than manage and play." BOXKR TO INVADE I. S.
