USING "DOPE" IN
MARATHON RACES

NEW YORK, May c9.-one OF the
hanes of the Marathon craze that is
sweeping the country from end to end
is the use of dope" by many young al
legged Marathon runners. This custom at
present is all too strong in the amateur
ranks. Youngsters who are fit to run
ten miles at the outside start In the
Marathons, and at about fifteen miles
they lag and are urged along mercilessly
by their handlers. At twenty miles out
comes the pillbox. and the doping begins.
Those who watched the New Jersey A.
c. Marathon over the Hudson county bou-
levard found no trouble in picking out
runners who were bearing up with the aid
of heart stimulant. There were plenty
of them-doZens of them.
A prominent member of Bronx ath-
letic club told the writer that he knows
OF young man who ran in the Jersey
races and not only used dope in tile race.
but in his training as well. This fellow
is training under the advice of Bronx
doctor. and the NJ. d. Is feeding him
strychnia every day.
The doping is not prevalent among the
hardy and seasoned Marathoners who get
the prizes. 1t is the youngsters who, under
normal conditions, have no chance to fin
ish who seek to stimulate themselves over
the line.
The clubs that promote Marathons can
in no way be blamed for this condition
of affairs. Neither is there any way to
seek out the culprits as a class, but any
runner caught doping should be sus-
pended for life by the A. A. u.

Value of a Sense of Honor.
From Success Magazine.


"A keen and sure sense of honor" saws
President Eliot of Harvard University, "is
the finest result of college life" The
graduate who has not acquired this keen
and sure sense OF honor, this thing that
stamps the gentleman, misses the best
thing that college education can impart
Great advantages bring great RESPONSE
bilities. We cannot divorce them. A lib
eral education greatly increases mans
obligations and responsibilities. 1t Is more
of disgrace for college graduate tn
grove, to stoop to mean, low practices,
than for man who has not had an edu
cation. The educated man has gotten a
glimpse of power. of grander things, and
he is expected to look up, not down, to
aspire, not to grovel.
We cannot help feeling that tits worse
for man to go wrong who has had all
the benefits of liberal education than
ii is for one who has not had glimpses OF
higher things, who has not had similar
advantages, because where much is given
much Is expected. The world has right
to expect that wherever there Is an edu-
Gated man people should be able to say
of him as Lincoln said of Walt Whitman,
There goes man"
We have right to expect that the col
lege graduate will be a man, real man.
1t Is great thing to say OF man, III
fact, there is nothing higher that can
be said than that he is real man.

Americans accede to this proposition
the matches would be played about July
