Trainer Foley has another very promis-
ing runner under his care in Joe DAILY,

flying to his friends. He is training for
the mile ana nalI mile runs ana is already
making a creditable showing. He is re-
membered as one of the c. l basketball

sn excellent Indication OF Trainer Foley's
ability as an instructor. When nc made his
first "ttry'' in this event he could with ex-
ertion throw the hammer siXuy-Uhree feet
but he has now learned the knack and this,
with the proper use of his strength, made it
possible during the past week, to cover
106 feet, wonderful improveme nt and
one that reflects credit alike upon the
performer and his trainer.
Upon the advice OF Trainer Foley, Ma
honey will not train for the weight and
shot events as IL is the opinion OF Foley
that II will bind his muscles and injure
bis pitching arm.
