Pyle Aims to Bring Nurmi to America for Pro Rumors
Sports columnist Davis J. Wallis reports on C C Pyle's plan to persuade Paavo Nurmi to turn professional in a series of races in the United States. Officials of the Amateur Athletic Union doubt such moves, while German contacts and other Finns are discussed as possible participants. Nurmi's passport issues and Pyle’s network with Hugo Quist are noted as factors shaping the potential stay in America, with Chicago and Millrose events among likely venues.
