slower clip; then twenty-five miles walk
ing; then back to the run OF ten miles
again.
In support of his practice, Sherring cited
his own grand condition in the race from
Marathon to Athens last May. He worked
every day for eight weeks before the
games, running from ten to eighteen miles a
day, with now and then long walk SUBJ
stituted. In that time he dropped In weight
from 1S1 to 112 pounds. There must be
something in Sherring's idea Of hard train
ing If condition counts for anything, as
his condition on the day of the big race
in Greece was one of the marvels OF the
Olympic games. :.
Sherring completely outran the man on
bicycle who carried his food and water dur
ing the big race. Time and time again
the little Canadian had to beg the bicycle
attendant not to quit, as the clip he set
up the long hills from Marathon was too
much for the bicyclist. Repeated ques-
tions as to how he felt invariably brought
forth smiling response from the sweat
and-dust-covered little athlete.
At no time during the race was there
any sign of distress from Sherring, either
on his face or in his manner of running.
His condition for the race may well be
described as perfect. Any man who can
outrun a bicycle over a billy course of
twenty-six miles must indeed know how
before the race Sherring ran a good stiff
ten miles. Shering's feat of running from
Marathon to AthenS-surely the hardest
course in the worlds the greatest long
distance record the world has ever known,
and in preparing for such a race in the
future athletes will do well to follow his
training ideas.

BANGS OF COLUMBIA

Bangs, a member of the board of trustees

tween Yale and Princeton and Cornell and
Princeton.
Stating that "in foot ball the need Of
reformation has been -fold-irst, in
the rules of the game; second, the conduct

Mr.. Bangs goes on to say: THE revised
rules have had nearly one season of ex-

those who are still infatuated with the old
style of playing there is a strong advocacy
of return to mass plays within the TWEEN
ty-five-yard line. The rules are still on
probation. and it remains to be seen what
another session of the revisers will do.
In the conduct of the players on the
field there is plenty of room for improve

LESSONS OF THE
RECENT HORSE SHOW

NEW YORK, December Snow that the
great horse show Of 1905 is history, ex-
perts are studying the lessons of that ex-
hibit with great interest. The horse show
will go down into history as one Of the
best in the long quarter of century
series-best in the equal division, of the
classes from start to finish, In the increased
entry in specific cases which causes this
equality, in the average quality, and in the
high standard of the individual stars.
With the international show in England,
to which many prominent American ex-
hlbitors have promised to send their best,
coming off in the near future. 1t Is ex-
tremely satisfactory to find that the strong
est American lines, the harness and the
trotter classes, were, II anything, above
the high average of other years. The har-
ness classes were beyond praise. Class
after class in singles, pairs, tandems, or
fours, rolled around the ring, eighteen to
twenty strong, and without exaggeratiOn

There was almost an utter absence Of
professionalism which was so rife a few

CUP RACE OF MOTOR
BOATS TO BERMUDA

NEW YORK, December S.-The Motor
Boat Club of America has accepted the
proffer Of the 81. 600 cup donated by James
Gordon Bennett and rendered by Thomas
Fleming Day, and will offer it for a race
to Bermuda to encourage the building and
racing of seaworthy boats. The cup is Of
fered without restriction and Mr.. Day i'm
mediately suggested the Bermuda race
under joint management of the Motor Boat
Club and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.
; The start will be made June 8, from off
the club house on the Hudson. The entries
are limited to boats propelled by an in
ternal combustion engine, not longer than
sixty feel over all, nor less, than forty
feet. Three entrants are already pledged,
one by Commodore Frank Maier of the
New Rochelle Yacht Club, winner of the
Upton cup last year, and another from
Eben Stevens, owner of Sis, the winner
of last years Marblehead race. Mr..
Stevens has given $3.50 cup for another
Marblehead race.
Four entries have also been received for
the Bermuda sail boat race, three schoon-
ers and one yawl.. The sail boats will start
June 5, SO as to have all the boats reach
the island at the same time. If possible.
The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club will offer
cups for a race after the boats reach Ber-
muda.

officials so that foul playing should be bet
ter detected and punished; in other words.
foul playing is to be stopped, not through
the honor of the coaches and the players,
but by increasing the stan of foot ball
policemen.
ION the relation of the player to the
university nothing has been accomplished
this year. We read that in anticipation OF
the game with Cornell. the Pennsylvania
team went to Winslow Junction for
week: that in anticipation of the game with
Princeton the Yale team took several days
of recreation on the Hudson, and that In
anticipation of the game with. Yale the
Harvard team took a week near New Lon
don. Are these players students or gladia-
tors paid for their services with special
privileges? When the playing rules have
been settled and foot ball players on the
field can conduct themselves like gallant
gentlemen, the vital point in which foot
ball needs attention will then remain
that is to reconcile 1t with the academic
work which the players should be doing
in their universities, and which any one
who knows the facts knows that they are
not doing and cannot do"

UNSATISFACTORY STATE
OF GERMAN RACING

BERLIN. December S.-The German pa

siderably more Improvement shown in rae
ing. They are reaping the seeds of that
crop of reform sown when they deter
mined to put down all manner of turf
speculation save that which would produce
a revenue to the government The nomi-
nations for the grand prize of Hamburg
have been anything but satisfactory, and
1t Is questionable whether the society at
Gross Borstel will be able to place such a
large sum as the $4,000 originally given
for that race. The nominations for the
Hamburg derby In 1908 show a slight i'm
provement. and amount to 135 against 12S
for the same event In 1907. 1t is reported
that Pestino and Fels will again carry the
colors of Mr.. Weinberg next season, while
the nominations made by the Frankfort
sportsman for the classic events, which
have Chased show. that his run of good
fortune Is likely to continue. There will
be some difficulties with the licenses of
certain well-known jockeys, and more than
one will be compelled to take an enforced
rest when the inquiry now being made by
the Union Club is closed. and there will
consequently be room for some of the Eng

HANLON BUYS BALL
PARK IN BALTIMORE

BALTIMORE. Nd. December S.-Edward
Hanlon, the largest stakeholder in the Bal
Umore base ball club. has purchased the
property on the York road known as Oriole
Park for q consideration of something like
$4,000. The grounds are to be entirely re-
constructed and new stands erected.
The space inclosed will be much larger
than at present, giving foul lines from the
plate to the fence of 316 feet on one side
and 300 feet on the other The distance
from the plate to the center field fence will
be very much longer than now. 1t is the
first time that those interested In base
ball here have ever owned their grounds.
Mr. Hanlon said: The purchase of the
grounds Is the first step toward getting that
