Nurml's second straight defeat
In as many days was . sensation
enough, but Ritola's virtual break

that his back and leg both pained

Aug. 4 (AP) Paavo Yrjola,
stalwart, curly-haired son of the
Northland, capped the climax of
Finland's greatest day In the 1928
Olympics by capturing the decath
lon championship and smashing
his own world's record In the
greatest struggle for all-around
athletic supremacy ever witnessed.
In what turned out to be a spec
tacular- Finnish-American battle
for honors, Yrjola beat his coun
tryman Akilles Jarvinen by more
than 120 points while three youth
ful Americans. Ken Doherty, Jim
Stewart and Tom Churchill, fin
ished third, fourth and fifth.
Shattering the world's record
officially for third time in two
years. Yrjola ended the two-day,
ten-event struggle, the last five
on a sodden, rain-swept field, with
a grand total of 8053.29 points.
This eclipsed his own world's
mark of 7995.19 set July 19 and
17, 1927, but formally accepted
only a week ago. Previously the
Finn's total of 7820.93, made in
1929, eclipsed the recognized
