land, France, Germany and America. Foot racing, either in the form of sprinting or long distance running" he said, ''has reached its highest perfection. Not since 1879 has there been a single improvement in form and if any records are lowered in the future, it will be due not to form, but to mere superior ability. Running has reached its zenith. But the field events, such as hurdling, jumping, pole vaulting and throwing the weights, have a brilliant future before them. Form in these events has nowhere reached perfected state. With the exception of the crouching position at starting, no permanent change has been made since 1879, and even the crouching start is no better way of starting than straight up, knees bent, ready-to-go style. It was introduced solely for the sake of anna teur sprinters, and was brought into active use by the colleges because there were so many novices at the game there. The idea in the crouching start is this: It serves only to steady the sprinter. It does not offer him position for fast CT start. With amateur sprinters the old method of starting up was hard one. They were naturally nervous, and 1t was hard for them to keep balanced. By the crouching start, they are given better chance to steady themselves. This is the only reason why 1t is now so hn oh for d let worlds records were made with the standing start. The crouching start is one of the few innovations that have lasted. It has been a benefit in that it new to the game. Professional runners, amaturs, trainers and coaches have worked on the stride, starting. finishing sprint ways of touching the ground, etc., but there is nothing new. Way back in '79 the sprinting game was perfected. So was it with the long-distance game. What records have been made since that time have been only the fruits of this perfection of form. I do not say that the records are at the lowest now. No: they may even go still lower. But it will be with the same form.
 "In these last 20 or so years there has been very rational change in train ing methods A decade ago the sprint- CT and long-distance runner trained down to muscle and bone. Sometimes it was skin and bone. He believed that 1t was absolutely essential to train hard in this fashion. Now. however. 1t is vastly different. It is nearly the oppo- site. The athlete tries to build himself up-put, on as much flesh as he can. do not mean try to get fat. But he puts on weight. and when he begins training he is in what is commonly termed the pink of condition believe in plenty of work for the sprinter. do not think work will hurt any athlete; but work poorly directed will kill an athlete quicker than any other thing. Time trials every day. such as some coaches in the middle west here practice. is ex- ceedingly bad for an athlete. It will ruin him in time"

At any rate. it will serve to give the pub lie chance to size up the men side by side.

TAYLOR IS ExONERATED.

Cincinnati. March 1s.-The national base ball commission yesterday, through Chairman Hermann. an. nOunced it's decision in the case of Pitcher John Taylor of the St Louis National league club. and exOnerates Taylor. The charges were that he had been guilty in the pOst-season games between the Chicago Americans and Chicago Nationals of conduct detri- mental to the welfare and good reputa. ton of the game' The decision states that the evidence submitted alleging that the player made certain remarks relative to the pOst-seasOn games is insufficient to find him guilty.
 It will be recalled that President ]. A. Hart of the Chicago Nationals charged that Taylor had been heard to say: Why should I have won? I got $lOO from Hart for winning and I got $500 for losing" Charles A. Com- iskey. president of the Chicago Ameri- cans. is commended for his action in calling on the commission to investi- gate the case.
 The majority report of the decision is signed by Hermann and President Ban Johnson and minority report by President Pulliam of the National league. Pulliam agrees that the evi. dence submitted was insufficient to prove Taylor guilty. but he continues. ''believing as do that the game itself is greater than the individual. no mat ter how exalted position he may oc- cupy. I cannot subscribe to one part of the commissions finding.
 "A case of misconduct on the par, of the player concerned if established, would involve dishonesty and strike al the very life of the game itself and il would be incumbent on the commission in my ju1ment to make the most searching inquiry. exeusing no one from an explanation who was connect. cd in the slightest degree with the mat tef at isBue. viz: the conduct of the nDe ln 0DeDffQo.7

SEVERAL GOOD BOUTS.

f A Three clubs gave boxing bouts, on Thursday night. All the contests proved interesting and the sports got their moneys worth. At the Broad way A. C., Philadelphia, Morris Har- ris. the crack negro heavyweight. re- ceived the worst lacing of his career, when he met Black Bill' of Merchant vile for six rounds. Harris was handicapped with d bad right hand, which he injured in his recent mill with Jim JeffOrds. In the opening round and in the second Harris was floOred three times. In the third Black Bill closed Harris's right eye and had his man staggering over the ring. Harris braced up after that and pluckily remained to the end. In the preliminaries Billy Burke of Port Richmond beat Joe Hagen, Young Fernley bested Danny Cannon. Harry Monaghan whipped Buck Lincoln. Reddy Trotter knocked out Eddie Fay in one round. and Jim Fielding did the same thing to Kid Brunes in one round.
 Aurelia Herrera. the Mexican. made his reappearance in the ring after an absence of several months. Herrera met Tommy Daly. the local feather weight. at New Orleans. in q ten round bout before the Young Mems Gymnas- tic club. The pair were evenly match ed. hut Daly seemed to be in better condition. In the early rounds the milling was at long range. but they got together in the fourth and mixed it up at d lively rate. Daly appeared to have the better of the going. and in the opinion of most of the spectators would have won had the bout lasted a couple of rounds more. Kid Murphy knocked out Frankie McHugh in two rounds and Kid GregsOn only lasted two minutes with Dick wOuIf of Brooklyn.
 The Intercity X C. of Pittsburg held . series of limited round bouts. the boxers hailing from Pitfsburg and Cleveland. In the first bout Kid Brock of Cleveland had Jimmie Manning in such s bad way that the latter's sec onds were forced to throw up the sponge in the second round. Jimmy Clark of Pittsburg was forcel to quit in bis contest with Mike Sullivan in -he fifth round Bert Wing of Cleye- and and Jimmy Frazier went six rounds. The mill was lively and Fra ,ier was declared the victor On points.

Mike Egan May Never Play Another
 Game.
 Mike .Egan of Jersey City, the cham. pion handball player, was due to ar rive. yesterday from San Francisco. He is seriously i'll and it is doubtful if he will ever again take part in hand ball match. About year ago Egan went to the Pacific coast to meet Jim Fitzgerald in special match for the American championship, and the Jer seyman won easily. After the match Egan felt some inward weakness and medical examination revealed the fact that he was in the early stages of tuberculosis. On learning of the handball players condition the Olym- pie club directors presented a good sized purse to him and Egan went to Los Angeles to recuperate, where he has been ever since. Three weeks ago Under Sheriff Dunn and his son of Brooklyn, who were on trip to the Golden Gate, dropped across Egan, and he looked so weak that the Brook. lynites induced him to come home.

.'Rouse" O'Brien Takes the Measure of Taylor-Aus. tin Rice Wins a Battle .Ieffries and Cotch.

Boston, Mar 1S-Rouse O'Brien got the decision over Kid Taylor of Chi cago in their fifteenth round bout be- fore the Douglas A. c. at Chelsea last night.
 Taylor displayed an unlimited ca pacity for punishment, and took the terrible mauling handed out to him i'll q very game fashion. The. boys never stopped an instant in the entire fifteen sessions. It was series of furlous mixes from gong to gong.
 The decision was never ill doubt ar ter the third round, when Rouse began to solve the Kid and started his ter rible onslaught with left chop to the face and a right cross. when they were close in. Both boys worked at top speed all the time. 9
 [ Taylor had a pretty left hand and when he used it, straight to the face 1t scored imumerable times, but never with any apparent force. In the first three sessions he used a straight left to the stomach with pile-driving force.
 After the third round there was nothing to it but O'Brien. He never stopped going to Taylor Taylor couldn't keep out of the way. When he went to his corner at the finish of the sixth session he was bleeding at the nose, his right eye was cut open and he was groggy. Y He came out strong and for few seconds jabbed his left to the face and stomach, but when O'Brien caught him with his right he would slow up. This was his experience round after round to the finish. In the fourteenth O'Brien was so anxious to put over a knockout that he got wild and found cred around, missing several wide swings. Taylor was all but out when the gong closed the session.
 Taylor was all but out when the gong closed the session.
 The final sessions saw both boys go. ing at a furious pace. Taylor tired in the middle of it and stalled and held on at every opportunity. He was bad ly beaten. and Referee Bill CrOwley's decision was enthusiastically received
