MAY DROP MARATHON RUN
FROM THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Action of Hayes and Durando Has
Hurt Event Among Lovers
of Amateur Sport.

That the United States does not in
tend to be caught mapping when the
time for the next Olympic games rolls
around was shown at the annual
meeting of the Amateur Athletic
union recently. In all the hubbub
raised over Americas righteous indig-
nation at Great Britain a most i'm
portant move on the part of this body
almost escaped attention. A strong
committee, composed for the most
part of men who had to experience
the injustice of England last summer,
was appointed to bring about an inter
national conference which would form
an organization for the conduct of flu
ture Olympic meets, and especially to
insure the appointment of impartial
officials, to arrange a set of purely
Olympic championship events-in
short to see that everything shall be
done on an international scale.
The American committee is COM
posed OF men who may be depended
upon to see that this country gets
fair treatment when the conference
convenes. Primarily, the Americans
intend to insist that there shall be
list of standard events for the
Olympic championship. Heretofore
there have been certain events, known
as the track and field section, which
were generally understood to be for
the Olympic championship. At the
London meet lot of minor events in
which England alone was entered,
were put on the program and by
counting these uncontested victories
England was able to get together
enough points to claim the Olympic
championship.
In view of the dispute in which
the Marathon victory has been
brought by the action of Dorando and
Hayes turning professional in order to
make money out of their sensational
performances at London and the prev
ious act of Sherring, the winner at
Athens two years ago, it is very likely
that the International Olympic coun-
Gil will throw the Marathon run off
the Olympic program. That this
should be done is the sentiment of the
leading members of the American
committee.
1t is pointed out that these games
are held purely to foster clean anna
teur sport and that any event which
tends to professionalize the sport is a
detriment to it. Dorando and Hayes
were the heroes of the Marathon run
and both succumbed to the tempta-
ton OF make money out of what they
achieved through their own efforts
and the efforts of other amateur
sportsmen. Their action in going on
the stage and then rerunning their
race in New York for a purse does
cmateur sports no good

cooking as sciences. and woman has
not a scientific brain. Besides this, she
is too often apt to give us what we like
and not what we ought to have. All
labor should be skilled, and it is the
lack of skilled labor that is at the bot
tom of our domestic difficulties. So you
can see at once my idea: A central
kitchen for every certain number of
houses, where the most skilled chefs
will be employed. All food will be
bought at wholesale prices, and there
will not be the individual waste that
now makes living so high, with our
present elegant home service. All the
houses should be in direct connection
with this central kitchen, and could
order as they please within a certain
limit.
"Such cooperative kitchens have
been run for the working people In
Bergen, Norway, for more than two
centuries. But my idea does not stop
at the kitchen. l would have all the
houses heated from a central plant,
the hot water supplied the same way,
of professional servants always ready
for a -window-cleaners, painters,
walters and nurses all would be there
when wanted. AS for the actual clean
ing, could / carry out my ideas,
would have a great exhaust engine
built outside the city, with pipes con-
Meeting with every house, and smaller
pipes to every room; thus, when clean
ing was to be done, the pipes would be
opened, and with a small, easily han
died tube the entire room would be
cleaned and the dust carried all the
way out of town. / would clean
streets in the same way, and have the
city so dustless that people would
come into town for breath Of fresh
air."
When asked II the plan had ever
been tried successfully Prof. Thomp-
son said: Eyes, they are succeeding
with it in New England, where the
very lamps in the houses are cleaned
by women experts and filled ready for
use. Then, too, in Mobile (the last
place one would look for such ad-
vanced ideas), they have the co-opera-
tive living well started"
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who
has devoted much time to this subject,
advocates not only cooperative house
keeping, but cooperative lives! She
prophesies large nurseries, in which
trained nurses, with the mother feel
Ing" would be in charge, and where
the frivolous and ignorant mother
could leave her child and, free from
anxiety on its account, could learn to
love it. All women should, in her esti-
nation, have a career; all household
expenses should be shared, and the
old-fashioned idea of supporting wife
should be done away with.

Thief IS LANDED
WITH A DERRICK
CREW OF STEAMSHIP USES
NOVEL METHOD TO AID ROB-
Der IN LEAVING BOAT.
PREFERS SEA LIFE TO JAIL
Caught with Loot, Thief Refuses to

New York.-Caught robbing the
cabin of Second Engineer Harry A.

ship st. Fillan of Liverpool, loading
with oil at the foot of Tenth street,
Long Island City, Thomas Devine re-
fused to leave the steamship, declar-
ing that he preferred a life on the roll
ing deep to term in Jail.
He knew that the vessel was booked
to sail at noon for Madras and he
went aboard, thinking he might get
away with the loot; if he was caught,
he figured, the crew probably would
be satisfied with a return of the
property rather than stay anchored
to prosecute him.
From the second engineers cabin
he took heavy gold watch, two gold
chains, handful of small change and
several trinkets valued in all at about

cabin he ran against Chief officer
Simmons, who held him up and sum-

Leaving him under guard of two
big seamen armed with spikes, the
chief officer sent telephone message
to the police station, and Policeman
Powers appeared on the steamship
in response. He found Devine seated
on deck and showing no inclination
to move.

Superstition Always Strong Part Of
Oriental Mind.

Very curious to the Occidental
mind are some of the ways of Arabia
and other Mohammedan countries. A
traveller says: Zone of the objects of
the most anxious solicitude for Mo-
hammedan parents is the shielding of
their children from the evil eye; any
person expressing admiration for q
child except by pious ejaculation or
the invocation of blessings upon the
prophet fills the heart of the parent
with apprehension. When children are
to be taken into the street their faces
are often even smeared with mud or
greasy substances lest their comeli-
ness should attract attention, and
in order that the person Of the child
itself should escape attention gaudy
and glittering ornaments are hung
about it, and written charms sewn into
leather medallions suspended from it's
neck.

igtics is that Of filial piety. Sons and

I'm under the protection of the
British flag. Don't touch me; inter-
national complications might ensue,
you know"
Despite the judicious application of
the nightstick Devine refused to
change his mind about leaving the
vessel.

scene.

beggar over the side"
A block and tackle was rugged and
despite his struggles half hitch was
taken around the thief, turn on the
donkey engine windlass and in the
next instant he was spinning around
in the air. He was swung clear Of
the vessel and lowered into the arms
OF Policeman Powers, who started
him on a run and never stopped until
they both got to the station.
There he was relieved of his booty
and then run around to the police
court, where Magistrate Connolly was
sitting and to whom the situation was
explained. The loot was returned to
Engineer Reed, who fastened aboard
his vessel, while charge of vagrancy
was made against Devine.
You'll not go to India this trip,
said the magistrate, addressing De-
vine. "I'll find you guilty of vagrancy
and hold you to $1,000 bonds to keep
the peace for six months, in default
of which you are to be confined in
Jail for that period"
"Just my luck" said Devine as he
was chased back to the prison pen.

M'GRAW NEARLY BOUGHT BUSH
Passed Younsster Up When He Failed
to Obey Orders.

That Owen Bush, the young short
stop secured by Detroit from Indian
apolis, had much to do with bringing
the American league pennant to De-
troit is generally conceded. 1t was
the brilliant work of the recruit which
prevented the champions from being
routed when the mishap to O'Leary
robbed them of shortstop. 1t was
Bush's good work, both in the field
and at the bat, which helped the
Tigers to the victories which they
needed to give them the flag.
It has leaked out that McGraw
came very near to closing a deal for
Bush after he had secured Marquard
from the Indianapolis team. But
after watching Bush in a game on a
day the Giants were not playing, he
concluded that he could not use the
youngsters, and all because he made
a play which, though successful, did
not suit the astute manager of the
New York team.
1t seems that Bush came to bat
with the bases filled and two out. In
stead of following instructions, and
hitting the ball out, Bush sought to
cross his adversaries by laying the
ball down and beating it out. The
play worked as he figured, for he
reached first in safety, and the man
on third scored.
What was New York's loss was De-
troit's gain, for once he joined the
Tigers he bolstered up a badly Grip
pied infield, and made it possible for
the Tigers to win their second pen
nant.

RAY EWRY TELLS HOW TO
TRAIN FOR STANDING JUMP
Champion Declares Nerve is One of
Most Important Essentials, as Only
One Effort is to Be Made.

Ray Ewry, champion high Jumper.
says: THE standing jumps require
good nerve as there is only the one
effort to be made. All the strength
must be expended in that one effort,
necess1tating a perfect control of the
whole muscular system. Jumping
naturally implies leg work, but l find
that this is true only to CERTAIN point.
To prove this, jump until you are
tired. The next day, or second day
following, should show you what mus
cles are sore, and you can then take
Work in Strengthening those particu-
lar parts.
Skipping the rope is one of the
Fest exercises. for the instep, the
'aquats' for the thighs, the kicks for
the abdominal muscles, full arm
swings for the shoulders. The neck
muscles running up the back of the
head should receive attention, as they
are used in controlling the arms. Do
not work until tired, quit just short of
this point. Let all your work be quick
aud snappy. The main thing about
the standing jump is suppleness and
control of the body while in the air.
This requires lots of practice.
I'm the high jump the arms are
swung sharply down and then up

Strengthening out like a released
spring. At the instant of leaving tho
ground the whole figure is in q

height is reached the leg next to thu
bar should be raised over the bar and
the knee drawn up as far as possible.
The leg is at the same time being
shifted over the bar, and the other leg
Is then lifted, the two passing each

Get your nerves in good Shape
This is one great essential in the

be under perfect control or you will
