was to the young men of the desk and counter
that the credit belongs of giving the first start
to organized athletic sports when just after the
close of the Civil War, Americans began to
learn what is now so important a part of their
curricuIum-the art of playing in the open air,
and doing it for fun" The New-York Athletic
Club fathered by William B. Curtis-'Father
Bill" of gentle memory-was in many respects
the pioneer of the early clubs the first to build
cinder path. the first TO introduce spiked run
ming Shoes the first to hold real track meet
Interest thus started in 1868, spread rapidly
through the country. Running was taken up in
Eastern colleges in the early '70s, and in 1874
was held the first Intercollegiate track meeting
at Saratoga as a sort of side show to the inter
collegiate regatta of that year
Collegiate interest in athletics at that period

The reputation of the admirable american

charge of Caspar Whitney, is well kept up by
the volume Rowing and Track Athletics
just published. Both these forms of athletic
sport have been so closely identified with Amer

Mr.. Ruhl, of prowess on the cinder path and
held-are well qualified by experience and ac
complishment to treat their respective topics,
and have succeeded in infusng their historical
surveys with the true spirit of wholesome Amer
lean craftsmanship, while enliYening them with
apt and entertaining anecdote and Renaissance.
The real story of systematized athletic sport
in this country, af1oat and ashore, is a COM
paratiyely short one, reaching back scarcely

giving it its first impetus as performers and
organizers still hold themselves young enough
TO take an ardent interest in ii, theoretically
and sentimentally, if net practically. Yet, even
so, athletics Gid not spring full grown into
popular favor but were the outgrowth of spo-
radio. if more OF less spirited, efforts of
earlier day. The first rowing of which
we have any record held between
picked four-oared crews from New-York and
Long Island, in 1911. The course was from
Harsimus N. J., to the Battery. and was won

was started by a cannon, and the Americans

Of a mile in the lead. In those days, and for
long afterward, rowing races were almost uni

tween professional and amateur being simply
that the one made his living by rowing ana
the other did not. Even the first races among
college crews were for purses; and, welcome as
they were to the university boating funds, they

1t has long been understood that the real

Mr. Bertram Dobell writes to 1.-The Academy"

mind and personal popularity well fit him for
working among college men, who often require
little coaxing and stimulus to draw them from
their studies" The formation of the Intercol-
legfate Athletic Association, which held it's first
annual meeting at Saratoga in 1876, gave q
great impetus to the movement, which enlisted
the support of many institutions so situated that
they were unable to send crews to the already
popular rowing races. With the spread of the
fever, however, came certain unwhoIesome
symptoms. and professional" methods crept in
to discredit track sports, both in the colleges
and the clubs, but after time a healthy reac-
ton set in, and better spirit now prevails. Mr..
Ruhl could, perhaps, have gone more at length
into this subject, unpleasant as it is, with adj
vantage. Still, he is not to be mistaken in the
high stand he takes or in the lofty ideals he up
holds.
