Yesterday's cable message stated that in the running events at Stockholm, the 1000-metre race had been won by Colelimainon, of Finland, in record time. Mi - . .Marryatt, president of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association, was consulted yesterday as to whether this was not one of the events in which G. N. Hill, of Auckland (New Zealand's crack distance runner), was concerned in. Mr. Marryatt was of opinion, that Hill would not be entered for the oventl "I don't think," said he, "that Hill would be entered for any distance under 1500 metres —that up to 5000 metres. Of course, wa had nothing to do with the entering of tho men for events; that was a matter between the manager of the team and tho man himself.- We should hear something about the longer distanco races any duy now,"- , .
