TRAINING
A Chat With Trainer Foley as to His
Methods.
How TO KEEP A MAN IN TRIM
Three Years Required to Develop
Il l. y
the Muscular System.
MOUNT OF EXERCISE

The gene raj public has very little, If any,
idea of the time, trouble and expense of de-
veloping an athlete. While it is true that
man may be born athlete 1t is neces-
sary to develop him, so as to bring out his
full powers. 1t seems strange when the
statement is made that it takes at least
three years to bring out full-fledged ath-
lete. While some men may be brought out
earlier than this, the great majority
quire a longer time. This rule applies to
almost every branch of sport, though one
would hardly think that such would be the
case.
Let Bernard Wefers be taken as in
stance. He has worldwide reputation as
a sprinter. and yet while his running abili-
ties partly natural, his success is due
more to his development and the careful
and intelligent training than anything else.
The public sees him on the track, but they
are not aware of the strict manner in
which he is forced to live, in order to keep
in condition for what is expected of him.
Were he to be left to his own resources
the probabilities are that he would soon get
out of trim and be unequal to whatever
emergency may arise.
To his trainer he is indebted for every
thing, and this he readily acknowledges.
The responsibility of his condition falls on
the man who has charge of him, and

accustomed form the trainer will be the
one to get the blame. This position 1t Is
readily seen, is of more Importance than
one would imagine. Ever alert, and ever
watchful for the interest and welfare of his
man, the trainer occupies a rather difficult
position, and by way of example he is
practically always in training himself. The
training of successful athlete gives one
good reputation, but a trainers standard
reputation is that Of one who always keeps
his man In such condition that results in
repeated success.
Mr.. Foley's Career.
At Georgetown University William Foley
has been selected to ALI the rather difficult
position of trainer. He has not only one
man to look out for but the whole string
Of college athletes. and. as would be sup
posed, this keeps him quite busy His rep
utation as trainer was excellent when he
first came TO Georgetown last year. and
since his connection with the university he
has added many laurelS to his crown. Him
self an athlete. he takes great pleasure
IN sports of all kinds, one Of the main re-
quirements for the successful trainer The
different classes of sport require a differ
cree in the condition of the men, yet he is
equal to the emergency.
Mr.. Foley was born at Providence, RI,
August g. 1870, and his athletic career was
begun at the age of fifteen years under
John Cattane, the great Scotch champion,
who took a special interest in him. When
only seventeen years of age Mr.. Foley won
the all-sround championship of Rhode
Island. He Travelled through the country
In all kinds of games. He was member of
the famous HikernianS and Caledonian

FOOT BALL,
The Game Between the CoIumbfas
and HamptOns Fell Through,

and HamptOns Fell ThrOuxh.
The week has been quiet in the local foot
ball circles, and not single game was play-
ed, although several are scheduled for this
afternoon. This, of course. does not in
clrde the interclass games at Georgetown
University. which are played every We'd
nesday and Saturday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
on Georgetown campus.
1t is to be regretted the games scheduled
for this afternoon between the c. A. {.
and the Hampton Athletic Club teams
failed to come off. All arrangements had
been made for the game and a contract
drawn up for a large guarantee fund, and
at the last moment the Virginia club teIe-
graphed to Manager Cabrera that it would
not play.
gram Mar eyer Cabrera sought a game
with some other team. He sent nine tele-
grams out. to Lafayette College. Univer-
sity of North Carolina and number OF
other teams, for game for this afternoon.
Now that the matter of the Thanksgiving
day game has been settled efforts are be-
ing made to secure games for later dates
in the season. Though not officially given
out 1T is understood that negotiations are
pending for game as late as Christmas
day between the C. A. c. and the Elizabeth
Athletic Club. The latter team is one of
the strongest IN the country and is made
up OIL lDe Cracks Oh many OF tHe cOlieReS
of the country. Frank Smith of George
town University, the heavy athlete who
made such a good showing at the field
games last Saturday, is a member of the
club, and one of the star players. and i'll
case a game was arranged with the c. A.
c. he would undoubtedly play.
The game scheduled for this afternoon
between Kendall Green and the University
of Virginia has been postponed.
Fate seems to keep apart the game which
has been twice scheduled and twice post
poned between the team of Columbian Uni
versity and St. Johns College of Annapolis.
Nd:
What promises to be an interesting game
Will be the one scheduled for Thanksgiving
day between Gallaudet College and Colum-
bian University. Though the latter team
has played comparatively few games it
has shown splendid strength.

sity were resumed during the week nd

The game this afternoon will be between
the class of '9S and the class of '99. Both

game to go by without a struggle. For
next week games are scheduled as follows:

Increase Value Wheat, Alone Estimated
at $I75,oooooo.
Appreciation on Other Products.

To these must be added an aggregated
appreciation of many millions on other
commodities. Pork, for instance, has adj
vanced from its low point by $1.S5 bar
rel, and ribs have advanced nearly o
cent pound. Lard has gone up plore
than VI tierce. Rye has been ad-
vanced nearly 10 cents a bushel, faxseed
10 cents and barley 8 cents. Cloverseed
has scored an increase of $3.25 per hun
bred weight.
The yearly sales of butter and eggs ex-
coed in cash value all the other products
of the farm. Butter has advanced 25
per cent. and eggs 45 per cent The
price of cheese has risen 25 to so per
cent. White beans are As to 30 per
cent. higher. Most of these products are
in active demand in Europe. They are
pouring across the sea in such streams
that there is not shipping enough to
move them promptly. Even Australia
and India are sending for the good things
of the American farm. The seas are
covered with regular liners and with
tramp steamers focking to American
shores for the rich freghtage.
Orchards Fall In Limo.
But this list does not exhaust the
names of the staples that have scored
sensational gains. The American or
chard is coming in for a share of the
good times. To the list may be added
prunes, apricots and peaches, which have
gained from 10 to 80 per cent. and are
still going up. Canned goods, such as
tomatoes, corn and peas, now an impor-
tant part of the worlds food supply,
have shown material Improvement in
prices. The average man may be blind
to the import of higher prices, because
of limited information. A slight adj
vance in the value of one or two articles
in which he may have personal inter-
est may have little significance, and
when there Is such general rise as is
now going on 1t requires a compre-
hensive survey of the situation to grasp
the vastness of the addition to the value
of the products of the farmer.-Chicago

than 535, 100000. This year Thoman
estimates 1t at 435,0OO,OO0. The main

September we exported 1911, 727 BUSH
els; in September, 1895, 1O,113.S97, an
increase Of 5,397 800 bushels. This will
explain to everyone except chuckle-head-
ed idiots why wheat has risen.
No Manipulation.
1t. In fact, the spectators have been
positively dazed at the advance. An
other thing which has indirectly made
wheat rise is the fact that the export
demand has been so heavy that
1t has been found impossible to
send all that was required. All the
freight room on European steamers has
been engaged up to January.
The explanation of the decline In silver
IL as easily accounted for as the rise in
wheat. Soon after Bryan's nomination
the free-silver shouters kicked up such
a rumpus that spectators both here and
abroad thought there was some chance
of his success, and silver ADVANCED ON
speculative buying to about 20 DENTS an
ounce. 1t was not long, however, before
the holders became convinced that Bry-
ans chances of success were hopeless,
and they at once began to get rid Of
their loads. Consequently, as more and
more holders of silver saw that they
had paid good price for white ele-
plant, and sickened of their bargain,
the price of silver gradually sank until
today 1t Is quoted at G4M cents an ounce.
This Is considerably lower than it was
early last summer, when 1t was thought
improbable that the Democratic party
would come out hat-footed for the free
coinage of silver.
The day will come when Mr.. Bryan
and his ilk will learn that natural causes
alone govern the prices of all products

Oct. -. Sept. II.

Americans are in the midst of mar
velous era. Several hundred million dol
lars have been added to the value of
American products in the last ninety
days. The magic of Aladdin is tame by
the side of the sober truth of modern
trade. The widest dreams of the rpos-
ties of fatism pale into insignificance in
comparison with the simple fact of to-
day. Nature is making money for
Americans faster than any printing
press could do it. The rise in the prices
of the products of American farms
means the beginning of prosperity that
needs only the success of the honest dol
lar at the November election to guaran-
tee its permanence.
Most of the chief farm products share
in the advanced prices. Most of these
commodities are being exported in enor-
nous quantities, and in exchange Amer
lea will get European gold. No one can
say truly how much has been added to
the wealth of Americans by the rise, but
few figures will give the reader an ink
ling of the mighty force at work for
American veal. Corn has risen 5 cents
a bushel, wheat ii cents and pats 4
cents. Competent grain men estimate
that those advances have added 70 the
