AN EXPERT WRITES
ON RUNNING.
BY j. Gardner Smith, NJ. D.

Running, which is accelerated walk
ing, presents more ridiculous spectacles
than almost any other exercise. The man
or woman dashing for a car is often a
most ~undignified sight. Such persons eX-
pend a needless amount of nervous and
muscular energy in accomplishing some
thing which ought not to even put them
out of breath.
Age ought not to interfere with u n
ming. An old nan ought not to get out
of breath any sooner than a young one.
But there is one thing to be guarded
against. That is heart trouble. All men
and women should be examined, for the
victim of heart disease never realizes his
affliction till too late. The lack of pain in
initial stages of the disease makes it
dangerous.
In running, unlike walking, the heel

ragged inc tattered as they are now
they are held beyond price by the old
colored woman, to whom they are treas
ures because Miss julia gave them to
her. There is want in that humble lit
tie house; there is no luxury, for the dy-
ing woman needs medicines and medt-
cal attention, but We're she to die simply
for the lack of them Mary Henry would
not part with those frayed-out shawls,
or the numerous other trinkets and SOU
venirs she has of Miss ulia General
Grant, of the Dents and "Old Boss as
she yet calls Mrs. Grants father, but not
irreverently.
Only Friday Mary Henry received a let
ter from Mrs. Grant. In it was a sum
of money. BY the next mail went a
letter back to the east telling Mrs.
Grant how timely her gift of money had
been, and that her wish would be graft
fed. Mrs. Grant wrote NANNY that
when she died she wanted her to find
a last resting place in the Dent lot in
B~ellefontaine cemetery. Mrs. Grant did
not know that her letter would reach the
faithful old servant on her deathbed.
Mrs. H. C. Ehrman. who lives at Ten
nessee and Sydney streets, who visited
the old woman and writes her letters for
her, was summoned by Nanny" to read
the letter just after it's arrival. Mary
Henry had her sit down and write back

ceive more than passing consideration.
~Disregarding all of Mr.. Young's pro-
phecies. however, there is more than one
reason to suppose that for the year 1900
the most successful season. will be fully
realized. In the first place, the national
league has finally accomplished a feat
that remove the greatest stumbling
block in the way of the prosperity Of the
game.
For years past, in fact, ever since the
expensive wal between the players and
the managers in 1890, there has been just
one drawback that could not be overcome
and the game has simply tottered along
because of the cumbersome burden of a

to Mrs. Grant, thanking Ter for the gift
old negro woman buried with the Dents,
and then Mrs. Ehrman wrote that the
old woman would not long survive, for
she is down with a disease fatal even to
those young in years and strong and Wig
orous in body. The old woman has car
ried for upward CT three quarters of a
century a birthmark on one of her knees.
Upon this spot a cancer manifested it,
self some months ago. It's spread has
been rapid, n the old woman has but
a few days more of life.
When Julia Dent, afterward the wife
of the great soldier who was twice presi-
dent of the United States. became four
or five years of age the slave child, Nary
Henry, was told off as her playmate and
to look after her as much as a child
only a year or two her senior could do.
The planters daughter and the colored
slave child played together, and in those
early days began the attachment. some
thing more than friendship, that has for
so many years existed between the great
lady and the humble former slave. AS
Julia Dent grew up she no longer needed
a playmate, and then household duties
were found for Mary Henry. She was
a smart seamstress, and did much of the
family sewing. She had intelligence of
a high order, and when any one was sick
the nursing fell to Mary Henry, and the
sick ones were we'll nursed. She could
take her turn in the Kitchen, and was all
in all a splendid family servant.

body, keeping each arm in it's relative
position and he legs close together, in
order to concentrate energy.
A good stride will cover about seven
feet, seven feet two inches, seven feet
four inches or seven feet six inches. 1t
is a great mistake to overstride, because
in so doing an unnecessary mount OF
energy is wasted, and fatigue comes on
more quickly. If one is able to stride sew
en- feet at first he is doing we'll. 1t is best
to increase the stride by inches. In this
way a good stride nay be obtained with
out unduly taxing the muscles.
Never kick your heels up behind YOU
that is. behind the axis of the body-be-
cause it will cause a loss of locomotion
and also of time by making the legs trail
through a greater space unnecessarily
AS one progresses, alighting first upon
one set of toes and then upon the other,
or ball of the foot, as the case may be,
great care should be exercised in coming
down upon the ground lightly. If atten-
ton be paid to this the body will escape
much Earring, which is important to the
muscles and nerves.
The time of a step in quick running,
as compared to that in quick walking,
is nearly as two to three, while the
length of the steps is as two to one,
Hence a person can run in a given tim

never strikes the ground, the toe always
does. In walking there is a time when
both feet are on the ground, in running
tire is a time when both are off the
ground. To run gracefully spring from
the toe and let ankel, knee and hip bend
freely. The whole body should be in an
easy, not a stiff position.
When running, no matter What the dis
lance, the arms, or more properly speak
ing the upper extremities, should be used
chiefly from the shoulder with precision
and should swing with harmony with the
legs or lower extremities. The right arm
should move with the left leg, and the
left arm with the right leg, in order to
maintain perfect balance and to gain
greater speed. The run and head

al position which, if a person carries him.

lean forward.
All distances under and including one
mile should be run upon the toes, while
distances over one mile should be run

The baseball season is now fairly upon
us, and from this time until the Novem-
Der breezes make their presence felt, we
shall revel in descriptions Of phenomenal
batting. sensational catching and a host
of other features that are so dear to the
hearts of those who follow the great ma
tional game.
If the opinion of the venerable presi-
dem Of the national league is to be taken
for anything, the present season is to be
the most successful in the history of the
game" and as Mr.. Young has been init
nlately associated with professional
baseball since the organization of the big
league in 1876, his prediction ought to re-

first rank to form II we'll balanced clubs.
As the result, as the history of the game
will sho's half a dozen cities have alb
sorbed ali the strongest players and the
remaining towns on the circuit have been
compelled to accept those that have been
LETT over.
Under such conditions it was impossi-
BILE to have other thar one-siRed contests
and it is not strange that there should
have been a lack of interest and loss of
patronage on occasions in which the re-
suits We're already settled. People do not
like to see a game. the result of which is
a %foregone conclusion, and when, last
year, the Bostons or the Brooklyns play

nized fact that the latter could only win
as the result of an accident. Such base
ball contests are farcical, and it is a mat
ter for congratulation that these condi-
tons have been eradicated.
In spite of all these facts, however, it
vas with the greatest difficulty hat t;lis
result was accomplished. For years
baseball has been an unsatisfactory bus.-
ness venture, and yet the managers have
hesitated to take the step that would
place them upon a paying basis. Accord
ing to the Indianapolis agreement of
1891, the IL team league was to continue
it's existence for 10 years, unless in the
there were clubs that failed to
meet their obligations. At no time has

this occurred, and, as the result, the
change from the II to the eight club
league meant the purchase of four franz
chises. In no other way could the league
be relieved of it's II club incubus.
This desirable and much needed change
was brought about through the efforts
of Andrew Freedman. the owner and
president of the New York club. 1t is a
we'll recognized fact that New York is the
keystone of the baseball arch from a
financial point Of view. If the season at
the Polo grounds is successful there is a
great probability that the entire circuit
will be a prosperous one. whereas, re-
verses in this city entail ha-dships on all
the other cities in the league.

badly scattered and unwieldly circuit Of
twelve clubs.
The onlv excuse that could be given for
maintaining all these clubs was that the
league desired to occupy all the available
territory and thus make it impossible for
a rival organization to gain a foothold. In
one sense of the word, the object of the
league wasattained. This action effectual-
ly prevented competition and yet the
necessity of carrying SO much dead tim
Der entailed a loss that it has been diff
cult to overcome.
Another argument that may be used
against a IL team league is that there is
not a sufficient number of players of the
