Ell a small man in both stature and weight
Statistics of the measurements OF both ANA
teur and professional long distance runners
favor largely small men as being the better.
When it comes to other games, such az
jumping, weight throwing and general ath-
letics different story must be told, although
there are cases of short men holding their
own as general athletes with big men. The
illustration Two Good General Athletes
shows men with fine musSles The first is w.
II. Mackdermott, who, although he resides
In Baltimore, is member of The Manhattan
Athletic club. The second IL W G. Morse, OF
the New York Athletic club They are what
might be called natural general athletes, al
though there is a great difference in their
size. Mackdermott is feet inches high. and
his weight is about l40 pounds Morse stands
feet l, inches and weighs $50 pounds
When it is said that they are natural athletes
1t is meant that they take very readily to any
kind of field sport. Their build impresses one
that they would be good at almost anything,
although Mackdermott Is too small to ever be
successful weight thrower He has not the
weight necessary to do we'll in that branch of
athletics, but he throws weights very well in
proportion to his size, and he is an excellent
oil round runner and jumper.
Morse is an equally good runner and jump
cr, but his build enables him to do perform
ances at throwing weights that a man of
Mackdermotts size can never accomplish. 1t
will be noticed that there is a great similari-
ty In build between the two men. The mus
cies seem to be as well developed in one as
the other, and tlke them at any game be-
sides throwing or hitting weights and they
are, judging by their records, very evenly
matched, and yet there is marked differ
ence in their sizes. They have both sprintes
100 yards in about 10A seconds. They have
cleared between feet and feet 0 inches
for standing broad jump, and in the neigh
borhood of % feet for running broad iump.
AT the running high jump Mactdernlott is
trifie the better, for he has the very good
record of 5 feet inches at that game, which,
It will be noticed, is inch above his height.
The best high jump Morse ever made is S
feet 3 inches. Morse has excellent all round
weight throwing records, but Mackdermo.s
has not, although ne has practiced that
branch enough to develop the upper part Of
his body, as this picture shows.

Long distance running shows jast as much
variance in the build of the champions as
sprinting, but it is very rare that long dis
lance man is stout. As rule they are the
tEinnest specimens of humanity found in ath-
jetics. The illustration, '.rwo Distance Run
ners," gives excellent examples OF long and
short builds. At the right stands a well known
amateur of Montreal who las taken part ~
many cross country aud snowshoe runs He
is almost the exact counterpart OF the famous
w. d. Day, the American cross country
champion and holder of the ten mile amateur
championship of the United States The only
noticeable difference between Days figure
and this illustration is that the picture shows.
a man with calves little larger than Days.
The same narrow chest and small arms are
there, but there seems to be plenty of breadth
to inclose heart and lungs sufficient to enable
the athlete to stand great test of endurance
running. Day stands feet inches high and
weighs 112 pounds. The illustration repre-
sents an athlete weighing about five pounds
more, but of the same height as Day. 1t
would be an unusual sight to see stout mai
in q distance race, and it can be truthfully
u
very spare man.
The other figure of the illustration is Percy
c. Madeira, who Won theSAmerican amateur
championship one mile race in 1884. He stands
6 feet, and when he ran weighed about 145
pounds. He was not a the time what would
have been called heavy man, although since
be has given up running he has gained con-
siderably in weight. He is the tallest athlete
that ever won this fixture at the American
championships, although others who have
carried off the honors have been in some
cases very nearly his equal in stature The
further the distance grows the shorter the
champions seem to be. During the last few
years T. P. Connect, of the Manhattan Ath-
letic club, has defeated all others for 5
miles, and at the first meeting for the 1C
mile championship, held last fall, Sidney
Thomas, Of the Manhattan Athletic club, won
the honors. He and Connect are about the
same size, both standing about feet inches
high. Connect is of much stouter build than
the average distance runner. His weight in
condition is about 12S pounds Thomas is a
Se~ pounds lighter, but both are heavy conf
pared with Day. These three men are at
present the best amateur distance runners in
the United States
The l mile amateur championship of last
year was won by A. B. George He is about
medium height and weight. This fixture was
won the previous year by T. NJ Gibbs, of To-
ronto, who is a shade larger than George E.
G. Carter, who won the event in 1886 81, is
about the same height as George and Gibbs,
but he weighed only lis pounds when in con-
6ition. Statistics further back for both
America and England show that the cham
pions of long distances, although they may
vary in height, are in every case light weight
men compared with their stature W. G.

SIZES OF ATHLETES.
The Long and Short Of it by
Malcolm w. Ford.
LARGE MEN VERSUS LITTLE MEN.
The Latter Seem to Have the Advantage in
Distance Sprinting-Some Notable
Examples.

Wonder has often been expressed concern
ing the fact that SO many athletes of small
stature hold their own and even do better
than those of larger physical dimensions In
quiry into the size of American amateur
champions at different field sports win show
that the majority are what would be called
medium sized men, and that only in events
like weight throwing do big men excel. Most
instructors say that the reason for this is that
there are more better made medium sized
men than big ones, and that it is much easier
to fin1 good little man than good big one.
The little ones seem to possess more nerve
force, but once in a while good big man is
found who has all the necessary nervous or
muscular power to enable him to hold his
own with or defeat ali Others There is hard
ly game on the whole list of field sports in
which little man at one time or another has
not done as well as tie best of the big men.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of
Electric BItters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health, to the
use of the great Alternative and Tonic b.
