AMATEUR AGAIN
NURMI CAUSES TROUBLE. (Received II a.m.) LONDON, August 26. In view of the long-standing engagement of the British amateur athletic team to compete in Finland on September 9, the recent participation of Nurmi in the Finnish amateur athletic championships raises a difficult question of policy. The Finns refused to recognise Nurmi’s suspension, and are certain to include him against the Britishers, who, if they compete against him, will technically lose their amateur status, and therefore be unable to participate in the Olympic games.
