lines Of training In 1899 he was entered
as a novice and carried of the prize
for IOC meters in TIE Paris games, and
later came TO America and finished sec
Ond 10 Duffy in several meets. Foley
has also given a great deal OF attention
to the training Of bicycle riders. and
introduced this branch OF sport into
The colleges. He produced several ped
alters whose records stiu hold The
most prominent OF these are Danny
Miller. who won and made records in
the mile and I'VE mile cycle COmpeti-
tons; Halstsad. a local man. and Rip
ley who afterwards represented Prince
ton on the track. Foley has the dis
tinction of being the only trainer Of
cyCie riiers in this country Another
and unique feature OF the veterans
manner Of training is the requirement
Of weight while in training. He says
that in a case where sn athlete is TOO
light it Is the proper and natural thing
that an requirement Of weight should

The assertion is in direct contradic-
ton to the opinion of many trainers Of
athletes who contend that weight
should never be added by training. In
the case Of Bernie Wefers. who was
acknowledged the fastest man the
world has yet produced, the trainer
states that he brought him from
15S pounds to his notwithstanding
weight of 1876
Another present-day runner, Foley
says, who has been brought up to his
best form IN this manner, is Melvin
Shepherd. the champion distance run

ably in the recent London games. This
man began his training under Al Ker-

jerks, but just a natural development
which has placed him now at the head
