It Is noticeable in reviewing ath-
letic history that the athletic life" OF
a weight thrower outlasts that of
runner nearly double. Men like John
Flanagan, Martin and Dick Sheridan,
Dennis Hargan, Dick Sheldon, Alfred
Plaw and ]. S. Mitchell were good a
decade ago, and all look to be able to
go along at the same clip for five more
years. But what of the runners who
were top-notchers a decade ago?
What has become of A. G. Bowen,
George Orion, Alexander Grant, G. o.
Jarvis, w. E. Schutt, Johnnie Cregan
and Dick Grant-the boys who were
famous as runners six or eight years
ago? Their athletic life" Is over,
while the big weight throwers are still
in their prime, after six or eight years
campaigning. Difference in training
methods may be said to be RESPONSE
BILE for this condition of affairs. The
weight man wakes fat on training, his
object being to take on weight and
still retain his speed. He has his
beer and cigars IL he wants them, and
seldom, If ever, is in danger of becom-
ing "fine." The weight thrower's eff
fort in competition seldom costs him
more than a pound or two. Compare
this line of work with that of the av-
erage runner and you can readily see
why the weight man stays in the game
longer. The runner is no good until
he gets fine" and begins to look
drawn in the face. While he is in flesh
he might just as well stay at home for
all the good it will do him to go into
a race. Then, too, his effort in COM
petition is vastly more wearing than
q weight thrower's task. Aside from
the actual weight lost, the nervous
strain is great. A half miller generally
drops about two pounds in his race,
while man running five miles gener-
ally loses from four to six. Besides
this, the runner loses weight in his
training every day, and it is undoubt-
eddy this tearing down and building
up that affects the runner to the ex-
tent Of making his period of useful
ness on the cinder path much shorter
than that Of his fellow athlete, the
weight thrower.

The loss to the White Sox will not

lives with the show nothing more than
