Over in Europe they call him "the flying Finn." Hard-boiled New York had heard but little and smiled to itself, a little skeptically. Now New York knows. And New York today belongs to Paavo Nurmi. Last night, running for the first time in America among strangers in a strange land, Paavo Nurmi broke three world records—one for the mile, one for 1500 meters and one for 5000 meters. His time for the mile was four minutes and 13 seconds, one and three fifths seconds faster than the former indoor world record mark made by Jole Ray. The time for 1500 meters was three minutes 56 1-5 seconds and for the 5000 metres 14 minutes 44 2-5 seconds. Never before had Paavo Nurmi run on an indoor board track. Nurmi literally ran the legs off Jole Ray in the mile race, in which Jole himself broke his own world record and then with a rest of a scant two hours, came back and raced his own countryman, Willie Ritola, into complete and abject subjection over the 5000 metre route. At the finish he smiled boyishly, almost shyly as 10,000 frantic, excitement-mad fans rushed and crowded and pushed and yelled: "Nurmi—Nurmi—Nurmi—" It was in the mile that the flying Finn made his debut. The crowd gasped when he trotted out on the track. He locked too slender, too undernourished, too thin of cheek, too boyish. New York had expected something unusual. They saw only a boy, a flaxen-faired, smiling boy, a bit shy and a bit nervous from the strangeness of it. Nurmi won the mile in the last lap passing Rita Littleton. William Desmond, who is no longer the tope of the people having appeared here in nuisance film productions, plays the best part in "The Riddle." Ever afforded him before, of the newspaper editor who names the daring mysterious man, in order to clean up the books in a western town. He many notable productions to credit but in this his latest version the very best work of his. William Desmond is very known throughout the countryside as a matinee idol on the streets of Los Angeles theatres. His courtesy was shown Mr. Person by the Universal Film Company and it is hoped that the people of Anaheim will take advantage of this great treat, to see this splendid cast in person. TROJANS MAY PLAY IRISH IN CHICAGO LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7.—U. of S. C. and Notre Dame football teams may meet in Grant Park stadium, Chicago, in November, it was reported here today. Announcement of tentative scheduling of the game will be made at the annual election of university team here tonight, it was said. Coach Knute Rockne of the Indiana eleven was said to have discussed the proposed game with Glynn Wilson, graduate manager Eedgwick, Helen Holmes, Hughie week. Wilson, at the time, failed to definitely accept Rockne's invitation because the Catholics' coach would not promise a return contest to be played here in 1926. WINDOWS BROKEN IN BOSTON QUAKE BOSTON, Jan. 7.—Windows and china were broken in several towns and cities today by earth tremors, three in number the first of which was felt at 8:09 a.m. The other two followed in close succession. The disturbance was reported most noticeable in the vicinity of Lynn and Lawrence but the rumbling was also felt and in Gloucester, Needham, Swampscott, Newburyport, Andover, and Salem and scores of other places. Several Andover residents reported dishes were jarred from their shelves and broken and that windows were shattered. No report of serious explosion has been received. WALKER CONFIDENT It was in the mile that the flying Finn made his debut. The crowd gasped when he trotted out on the track. He locked too slender, too undernourished, too thin of cheek, too boyish. New York had expected something unusual. They saw only a boy, a flaxen-laired, smiling boy, a bit shy and a bit nervous from the strangeness of it. Nurmi won the mile in the last lap, passing Ray like a glue jerseyed flash. He breasted the tap 15 yards in front. Ray was racing his heart out, trying to catch a shadow. In the 5000 metres he beat his ancient rival Ritalo, one of his best competitors, when Nurmi set four world records in the Olympic games. These two ran their mightiest and lost—lost because the hare cannot outrace the antelope; human feet cannot catch the moon beam. 1925 COMMITTEE FOR KIWAN The following standingtees for the new year nounced yesterday by Charles H.

WALKER CONFIDENT NEWARK, Jan. 7.—Mickey Walker, world's welterweight champion, predicted today that he would win by a knomkout tonight in his fight here with Mike McTigue, light heavyweight title holder. Victory by that route would make Walker a dual champion. The bout is scheduled for 12 rounds, but Mickey is confident it will not go beyond ten, at most. No decision is permitted under the New Jersey law and only by stopping McTigue can Walker achieve his ambition. McTigue's weight edge on Walker and his ability on the defense, many experts believe, will enable him to stave off the Jersey man's attack. Walker rules favorite, however. Irrespective of the outcome, Walker said, he intends to try later for the middleweight title now held by Harry Greb. LANDIS MAY MAKE TESTIMONY PUBLIC NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Promise that he will make public testimony in the case that resulted in the banishment of Jimmy O'Connell and "Cozy" Dolan of the Giants from organized baseball, is made in a letter received by New York baseball writers today from Commissioner K. M. Landis. The commissioner promised, it was stated that O'Connell's testimony will be made public within a few days. It has been withheld since last October, when Henry Sand of the Phillies charged he had been offered a bribe "not to bear down" against the Giants, then in the throes of a hectic penchant struggle.

Everybody Wonders How “Doug” Did It It is evident that when Douglas Fairbanks produced “The Thier of Bagdad,” which will be on view at the California for 4 days starting Monday, he had in mind to make the apparently impossible an accomplished fact. In every city where this picture has been shown the same strain has been: "I wonder how . . . this or that . . ." When the redoubtable Doug clambers up a rope that is suspended in thin air, one begins to take notice; then he dives to the bottom of the water, kills an undersea monster, and when his sub ocean business is finished, he calmly propels himself to the surface. He enters an enchanted wood, where a tall tree, at the wave of a hand, comes to life and waits about with uncanny disrespect to all accepted ideas of tree conduct. Later in the picture, the Thief climbs a flight of a Thousand Steps that leads to the clouds and mounts a beautiful Winged Horse that gracefully flies away with Doug on his back. By now, you are ready to believe that anything is possible and when as a climax, you see Douglas and the Princess step upon a Magic Carpet, it seems quite proper for the rug of its own volition to rise up, sail out of the window, circle the house-tops of Bagdad amidst the plaudits of the multitude, and disappear with its human freight across the rising moon. VIVID SEA WRECK IN “ONLY WOMAN” There is a shipwreck scene in Norma Talmadge's new picture, "The Olny Woman," showing at the California today and Thursday, which, to our way of thinking, is one of the most vivid and real bits of action ever brought to the scree. As a rare such scenes are done for the most part in miniature necessitating long distance photography which dilutes the realism of the effect. Here, however, is staged a real shipwreck on a real ocean. A beautiful yacht is borne down upon by a three-masted schooner on the storm-tossed deep and Norma and Eugene O'Brien; her leading man, as well as a crew of minor players, are seen battling for their very existence. Seated in the California Theatre one can almost hear the crash as the big vessel smashed into the yacht, catching it antiships and rending it into splinters. And the cries of the perishing sailors seemed to rise above the roar of the sea as they fought each other for seats in the lifeboats. There was no miniature work in the scene. It was all real, so vividly real that the audience gasped as the thrilling climax was reached. Norma always an actress per excellence, is seen at her best as a young woman who sacrifices herself on the marriage altar to save her father from disgrace. She hates her husband, even as she marches up the church aisle to become his bride, and she vows est Fowler, Arthur Porter, J. P. Probst, Gus Leive. Inter City Relations—Ed, Rundstrom, R. B.

Talbert Re-elected T.B. Talbert, chairman of supervisors for 16 years, will hold that post for another two years, when his term expires it was decided Tuesday when he was re-elected by unanimous vote. Rumored opposition to Talbert failed to develop it was apparent and Supervisor Leon Whitsell of Villa Park hinted as being groomed for the post, put Talbert's name in the running today. Thus was the Huntington Beach supervisor's popularity with his fellow members on the board and his fitness for the executive post attested to. The first step of the board after Supervisors W.M. Schumaker, S.H. Finley and George Jeffries, re-elected at the last balloting had again taken their oaths of office was to reappoint all incumbents in county appointive posts. third round: Mel French put out Pranie Kelly second round.
