ROSE THE RAPID RAMBLER
MATCb WITH NCBMI USHKELf. BUT WILL MEET HAHN NEXT MONTH [Per Press Association.! MASTERTON, Last Night. The meeting of R. A. Rose, the Australasian champion distance runner and Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish crack, is unlikely to eventuate for another year if at nil, Nurmi having replied to representations made on Boss's behalf as follows; “I have received your latter and in reply, would say that It is not clear when the race is tp take place. I can hardly undertake a Journey in the near future, but could perhaps do so next autumn, although I cannot definitely promise this.” Owing to operations on his farm interfering with his preparation, Rose had decided not to compete against Hahn at Masterton on February 16 but he has since acceded to pressure from local athletic officials and has given an assurance that he will compete. When he and Hahn are due to meet for the first time, naturally he cannot be at the top of his form, as h© had anticipated reserving himself for the return visit of the Americans to Mas-' terton in March.
