Harley Davidson, who is now the
undisputed roller skating champion
Of the world, has been racing and
giving exhibitions on the rollers and
ice skates since 1882. He was one
of the first to take up the roller
skating game as a profession when
that craze swept the country many
years ago. After it died out he went
to the steel blades. With the return
of the roller game he now devotes
most OF his time in racing in the
wooden-fioored Kinks. although he
by no means is back number on
the ice.
John Flanagan, the worlds cham
pion hammer thrower, practised daily
for years before he reached his pres
ent state of proficiency in weight
tossing. The Irish-American athlete
not only went out in the fields, with
hammer In hand, but stayed awake
nights considering and studying the
theories OF the game.

play The red man is making great
success as an athlete. Use has been
found for him on track, diamond,
gridiron, and even in the prize ring.
Naturally feet of foot and crafty, he
is developing the other attributes OF
GOODNESS, courage and endurance so
essential in triumphs of muscular
competition.
1t used to be said that while the
Indian had natural fleetness of foot,
he lacked the determination and
quick thought needed for bruising
competition.
The success of the Carlisle football
eleven about exploded this idea.
Year in and year out, no matter
who is coach, the Indian school Is
able to turn a star eleven that tack
les all the big fellows. and plays the
hardest kind of a schedule without
whimpering, no matter how serious
ly injuries may fall.
II shows the generalship OF the
Indian to say that Carlisle has never
been without a good quarterback In
Hudson, Johnson and Mount Pleasant
it has had three of the greatest quar-
terbacks that ever donned armor.
Hud son was a wonderful drop kicker,
who thought nothing of placing two
or three goals game, and against
the strongest opponents just as reh-
able as against the weak.
Johnson, who succeeded Hudson.
was fine leader and could catch
football with more certainty than
any man in the field He could take
the pigskin on a dead run, much
as ball player catches the sphere.
and at running with the ball. kicking
or tackling, no one was his equal
during his stay at Carlisle.
The present star, Mount Pleasant,
though he may fall a triae behind
his two great predecessors now, is
destined to catch up with them before
he leaves the school.
But it is not only in turning out
the alert flyers of the football field
that the Indian school has made
notable record. Uncle Sans wards
have produced the heavy artillery.
too.
Hawley Pie zee, the giant guard, was
unexcelled at ghe position, and proved
himself more than match for the big
fellows OF Yale and Harvard. Pierce
was also a good kicker, and fast
enough to play in the back field had
he been needed there.
John Middlesky, a mammoth Indian,
who weighs some 300 pounds, and
stands six feet high, has lately been
thirsting for the gore of the retired
champion pugilist, James j. Jeffries.
He has not yet been thoroughly
tested, and no one takes seriously
his pretensions that he could beat
the boiler maker or any other good
man. But to have an Indian in the
ring is an event.
No reason exists why the Indian
should not be a great athlete. Gen
erations of life in the open air argue
for him an athletic vigor. Many
tales and legends survive showing
how in the bygone days the Indian
was capable of prolonged athletic
tests, particularly in the way of rum
ming. The redskin is a natural born
distance runner, and when willing. is
tireless.
