STUDY FOR SCULPTORS.
Modern Discus Thrower Strikes d
Graceful Attitude.


Graceful Attitude.
IF any of orr sculrtors a.. seeking
for a new subject, remarked an artist
who was sitting through asset of ath-
letic games at which Martin J. Sheri-
dan was giving IAN exhibition Of his
skill at throwing the discus, there is
the man for them to study. Just
watch him the next time %he throws
the thing from my point Of view and
see If you don't think they would be
rewarded for their study
The spectator to whom this remark
had been addressed kept his eye on
the hero of the Greek games from the
viewpoint of his sculptural possibiIi-
ties, and this is the impression he re-
ceived: a tall young man in a white.
sleeveless jersey, running trunks and
black spiked shoes stood quietly out
In the middle Of the field while a
smart summer shower dampened his
black hair until it was streaked down
over his low forehead. His chest was
unusually broad and deep, his Shout
ders square, the muscles of his legs
having their greatest development in
their long sinews rather than in cir
conference. His repose was the most
striking thing about him after his
muscular development, for he rarely
moved, talked little and laughed or
smiled less. 1t was plain he took his
work for the nonent seriously.
Nor when it came his time TO throw
the discus did he alter his manner.
except to grow more intense, If any
thing. Grasping the circular disk of
wood and metal he made one pre-
liminary and wide sweep of his body
and arms, the movement being no
ticeably slow, and then as he gathered
the necessary momentum he twirled
with almost incredible speed twice
around on his toes, the second revolu-
ton carrying upward until it seemed
as if he must necessarily leave the
ground and fly up into space, so full
of the suggestion of flying was the
tense, beautifully graceful figure.
As he rose on his toes in one OF
those revolutions of his body his fig
ure had more grace than that of the
classical discus Thrower" and sug-
gested flying more than does Diana
on her tower or the angel f1uttering
before Sherman as he marches TO the
sea.
Any sculptor who can create. that
effect in bronze is likely to be ranked
among the masters of his kind and
will do something far and away above
the tinkling golf players or football
warriors that so far represent the |
highest flights Of our sculptors in
