WAY TO CONCERT SUCCESS
HARDER NOW THAN OF OLD
NEW YORK, Jan. 14. (£>)—'The
road to success on the concert stage
in the olden days was difficult, but
now it is even harder. More hopes
of ambitious artists than ever are
crushed into disappointment.
This, in the opinion of several pro
minent New' York maagers, has come
about because of increased competi
tion and the attendance of more in
telligent audiences.
Another bit of good advice is never
to start anything you cant’ stop.

Popular Interest
NEW YORK,—Though marked by
a return to somewhat normal pace in
the scope of athletic competition, by
comparison Avith the unusual activity
of the previous two annual campaigns,
the year 1925 witnessed continued
growth of popular interest, particular
ly in baseball, football and track, be
sides an unusual epidemic of individ
uality brilliant performances and a
significant trend in the development
of professional sports.
Following a year of sensational
conquests abroad on Olympic battle
fields, it was a natural reaction to
have the major conflicts of 1925 con
centrated on native grounds. There
was sufficient international competi
tion to add spice to the campaign and
here the Uhited States carried away

the bulk of honors in spite of apparent
renaissance in the calibre of British
opposition, but the contests of chief
interest were staged on hame soil.
In this homebred panorama of ac
tivity, however, one invader of unus
ual note, Paavo Nurmi, the phantom
runner of Finland, stood out to. chal
lenge Red Grange, the galloping ghost
of football, for the most spectacular
honors of the year. These two oc
cupied the major portion of the spot
light even in the season which saw
“Big Bill” Tilden carrying the tennis
heights for the sixth straight year;
Bobby Jones capturing the amateur
golf crown for the second season in a
row after also coming close to winning
the national open title in a desperate
fight with Willie Macfarlane; Helen
Wills leading women’s tennis ranges
for the third successive time; Rogers
Hornsby smashing major league bat
ting records as he led the National
League for the sixth straight year;
and Swede Oberlander leading Dart
mouth to a national football cham
pionship with the greatest forwrard
passing exhibition in the history of
the gridiron sport.
When all these sensational feats
and stars have passed in review, how
ever, it remains for two peculiarly
parallel performances of Grange and
Nurmi to produce the greatest thrills
|of 1925 from the viewpoint of indivi
dual brilliance. Nothing else on the
\ calendar quite matches the startling
running of Nurmi in his first indoor
performance in America at Madison
Square Garden, where he shattered
! three world’s records and beat the
pick of his American rivals in two
races or the startling exhibition of
Grange in putting to rout a hitherto
unbeaten Pennsylvania eleven on
Franklin Field, with as great a dem
onstration of broken-field running as
any gridiron ever witnessed.
These twin performances were all
J the more noteworthy because they
j were made under handicaps and were
1 against heavy odds. Grange made
football history on a muddy fielc
against one of the East’s greatest de
fensive teams and before a crowc
w'hich came there in a skeptical mooc
and left marveling at his prowess.
Similarly Nurmi, competing on ai
: indoor track for the first time and ii
1 an unfamiliar setting, cleared thesf
barriers and beat the best this country
could produce in the way of compe
tition. He conquered Joie Ray, Wil
lie Ritola, Lloyd Hahn and others witl
these stars running the fastest racei
of their lives.
