Even the courts recognize the distinc-

there is seldom dead one. neverwas,

understood.
These boys are not only far younger
In years than the hardened veterans. but
are spurred on by wild ambition. They
are crazy 10 make good. 10 make the
managers think them the best they ever
saw. They viii run and throw their
very lives out. while the veterans. who

will look very slow beside the speedy

supple in every limb than the older men
at this time OF the year. Put ten OF
these kids and ten OF the older men on
a mark az this time. tell them 90 run a

in his mad anxiety to show how good he
is, he gets the lemon. just the same. An
attempt on his part to do as the old boys
do-tO lay of. take 1t easy. and work
his muscles into proper shape-will result
in his being termed a shirker and a lazy
