rousss him, puts on his clothes, and some
times has him well started around the track
before he Is fairly awake. Before the six
days are over every man, no matter how
carefully or how long be trained, has fear
fully sore feet. The contest is a terrible
strain on him in many ways Sometimes it
IS too heavy, and the man breaks down. In
that case there is one less man TO divide the
money among. Taken all in all, the life of a
professional pedestrian Is not happy one.
