Taylor Declined an Increase
and Catcher Meyers Re-
fused Offer.

-HERE is some talk OF Taylor and
McGinnity being dropped by the
L Giants, but McGraw says they
WIN Join the club in the spring. Taylor
has always been i winning pitcher dur
ing the early part OF the season. Last
year he was not sol good on account OF
the continued bad condition Of his arm.
He may round up in fine shape in
March. though and his services will be
valuable. Whether Taylor ever pitches
or not he is worth his salary to the
New York club as a drawing card.
Taylor IS a great man TO have on a
club" said McGraw at his billiard room
Yesterday. He is never disheartened.
and when everything is going bad and
the boys are disgruntled he always hobs
up with a smiling face and puts the
whole club in good humor. He never
hears the sour remarks. and always
looks on the bright side OF things"
Taylor, by the way, Is the only base
ball player who ever declined an adj
vance in salary. Soon after McGraw
took charge of the team he suggested to
Tavlor that he would give him more
money, thinking that he would encour-
age him TO work extra hard in the
spring Taylor shook his head violently

so Miles Indoors
Equal to rs Miles
In the Open Air

1T is impossible to decide the mer-
its of a Marathon runner over
26 miles, 3s5 yards indoor course"
That is the claim of Ernie Hert-
berg, Of the Irish-American A. c.,
and Ernie has turned out some great
runners, including Johnny Hayes and
Jim Crowley.
ITO my mind" continued Hertberg.
"a man that runs the Marathon dis
lance over the hills and dales of the
country is under a much greater eff
fort. He has heavy shoes and the
rocky roads to struggle over. while
indoors he has a smooth track that
becomes a beaten path after a few
miles. Then his opponent is with
him all the time. and either one Is
setting the pace. To decide the ques-
ton let them run fifty miles indoors,
and that will come pretty near equal
izing things"

Hertbery Tells the Juniors
HoW to Train for Marathon
BY ERNIE .HERTBERG.
Trainer Of the ITTsh-Amertcdn A. C.

Walk. walk. walk!
That's the first lesson one must
learn to become a Marathon runner.
Walk to business in the morning and
walk home at night. I would sus-
gest ten miles at the beginning and
increase II to fifteen before taking
TO running. Walking will do more
to strengthen your legs and back for
an endurance r9H than anything else.
1t will also increase your lung power.
When you take your first run be
sure to learn to run from the ball
of the foot TO the heel and not from
the heel to the ball OF the foot
