ARE YOU IN IT?"
Points On How to Train For Boat
Race.

'sTaking for granted, said our coach,
"that you have got your crew together,
and that they are practicing daily, the
best advice that L, or perhaps, anyone
else, can give you Is live regularly Z"
Such was the beginning of a CONVEX
sation which embodied many useful
hints on the "art of training" as the
sporting old oarsmen called il. He,
first of all, mapped out the ideal day
for a crew preparing for a race, and it
was, If my memory fails me not,
something like this:
7A.M.-Rise, slip on flannels, take
two oatmeal biscuits and walk
briskly down to the river. Have
dip-not a battle mind, but Just
in-and-out-and then jog back to
breakfast.
S.-Breakfast-any good wholesome
food, such as fish, chicken, chops,
steak; avoid bacon. Have toast
instead of bread, and be sparing
with the butter.
1880 or lido the mornings prac-
tices.
I:3OP. M.-Lunch-meat and green
vegetables, lettuce, and so forth,
but no potatoes.
$3.50 or 4.-Do the afternoons prac-
tice. A cup of tea is permissible
lust before, but it Is not advisable.
$50 or 7.-Dinner-hot meat, green
vegetables, plain milk buildings,
and stewed fruit.

DAILEY'S TRIP.
He Went Out on the Alameda and
Fooled the People.

Bill Daley went out on the Ala
media yesterday and came ashore
in the pilot boat. Jean Weiner was
standing on the wharf when the
steamer pulled out and grew pale
in the face when he saw his beloved
theatrical manager standing on the
deck of the liner.
Weiner rushed to telephone
and sent word to the Opera House
where the Company was rehears-
ing, that their mainstay had parted
company with them. 1t meant no
salaries and worse yet, for there
are no ties to walk on between
here and San Francisco. The tel
ephone message broke up the re-
hearsal and caused several of the
troupe to even forget their lunch
Lewis Levey heard of it next and
made preparations to close up the
theatre. About the time that mat
tiers were in a feverish state Mr..
Daley appeared on the street laden
with leis that passengers had asked
him to give to friends on shore.
Then he realized how much he was
loved and all yesterday afternoon
he was the center of group that
could not do too much for him.
Tonight he will be much in evil
dence when "Our Boys" will be
produced.
