KETCHEL MAY

The Johnson Ketcher disagreement

When CorbetC first faced the nigh

had on paper no better chance than
Stanley Ketchel will have when he
faces the black champion.
But Corbett knew the enemys
weakness, and for more than ten
rounds he fed from before the awfui
wrath of the perspiring champion,
who called on him with oud voice
TO stand and be slain without fuss.
The way in which Corbett sprinted
around the ring, with Sullivan in full
pursuit, was regarded as prime

Corbett came out of his shell anC

treated him, are matters Of history
If Ketchel can only evade the top
heavy Black Streak for the first thir

at a good bat all that time, it is quite
probable that from then on Bruddel

STYLE MUST
Be STUDIED

The articles on training for long
distance running which have appear
ed in these columns have touched on
work, sleep and diet, and the sub
jects of pace and form will be dis
cussed in this third and closing ar
ticle:
Going on the supposition that when
a man enters a long distance race
he knows perfectly well just what
his capabilities are, he should by all
means thoroughly master the ques-
tons of pace and style. There is no
reason why a man should not pre-
pare his schedule in advance; know
ing his own capabilities he should
run according to a schedule, the first
FIVE miles to be done in such a time,
ten miles in so much time and fiji
teen, twenty or twenty-five miles in
just so much time.
In that way his advisor on bicy-
Gle can keep him posted land when
the day of the contest arrives he will
not run his head off in the first part
OF the race.
Lack of attention to proper pace
has always been a potent factor in
the losing OF long distance races, and
not only is the race frequently sac
rificed in this way, but also a good
position at the finish.
| Of course the average runner, il
he is young at the game, knows very
little about pace; he has not yet ar
rived at the stage where he can use
his head.
I This has been proved in practical
~ all of the long-distance races run
here the case of Herbert Cordeiro
in the Athletic Park ten miles being
a case in point. Had Cordeiro run
with more judgment in the earlleI
stages of the race and reserved his
strength for the finish, it is the writ
er's opinion that he would have come
very near beating Kaoo and the Jap
anese
With regard to style, the arms
should be held naturally, loosely and
nearly straight, with the slight for
ward inclination.
The best and most effective style
of running is close to the ground
and with the least waste of energy
High leg action should be avoided
and the effort should seem to be made
from the hips down.
Both Jackson and Connie Hayes
are good stylish runners whose form
may safely be initiated.

ACQUAINTED WITH THE METHODS
He was a bright young lawyer, but
very bashful in the affairs of love,
though he was deeply in love with a
young woman who was celebrated
among her friends for her repartee.
The only obstacle in the way of the
young man was his exceeding shy
ness; for while always IN perfect
command of himself in the court room
he became almost speechless in the
/ presence of his adored one. AS one
method of showing his affection, it was
his custom to shower her with presents
The mother of the young woman was
not at all satisfied with the status of
the case, and spoke to her daughter
about the latter.
