Americans And Finns At Glasgow Sports

Visiting Athletes To The Fore In Majority Of Ibrox Parks Races

London, Aug. 7.

Pistols also went off periodically to announce the half-times, full-times, and extra-times of five-a-side football matches, in which, also for Ibroxian enthusiasm, the Rangers went down to Celtie, deadly rivals who not long ago had attracted more than 100,000 to the same monster arena, Small-side football for experts only, athielics in which master Finns and American champions mingled in a medley of handicaps with the humblest of locals, bicycle races, scrio-comic relief in the form of obstacle races, and, last but not least, the ar- rival of a host of marathon runners from Gourock, away down the Clyde, all went to make up the fun of the fair.
