power, run long distance, such as $50
yards, at seven-eighths speed, until you
acquire endurance
Spend your first three weeks in run
ming 400 yards three times daily at five
eighths speed, with IS minute rests be-
tween each.
The second three weeks sprint so
yards a day and run $50 yards at three
fourths speed and repeat.
The third three weeks practice siy
starts, running 10, 20, 80, 40, so and 60
yards; after that run 200 yards and re-
peat at seven-eighths speed
Pay attention to the starting during
the last three weeks and run the full
distance once a day, slowing at the end.
The 400 yards requires more endur-
ance than the sprints, and speed is re-
quired. The first three weeks spring so
to 90 yards three times a day at three
fourths speed and combine with it six
starts.
The second three weeks sprint from
$50 to 800 yards at three-fourths speed
and after rest run 90 yards three
times.
The last six weeks start in at I7o
yards and run this distance for a week
once day, and then increase this dis
tance 10 yards a day, running at eight
ninths speed all the time. Also practice
starting from four to six times a day,
running from 80 to so yards each time
After the distance has been increased
to 22o yards, run a "trial'' to find out
whether you are running fast enough
for the first 22o yards. If you are slow
return to sprinting from so to 100 yards
until you increase your speed. Make an
other trial at $50 yards. Complete full
distance week before you race.
Before your race lie fiat on your back
fifteen minutes, being careful not to lie
down where it is damp. Just before
toeing the mark take six to ten deep full
breaths Have your trainer give you a
gentle rub, and jog up and down the
track so yards.

officials of the City and Parish Criti-
cised for Being Sympathetic and Len
lent in the Enforcement of Law.
Returned Fifty-Four True Bills.

The Grand Jury'e report was sub
mitted Friday as follows
Shreveport, La, April p, 1901
Hon. A. J. Murff, Judge of the FRS
Judicial District Court of the Par
ish of Caddo:
We the Grand Jury appointed to in
vestigate the cases brought before us
beg TO submit our report thereon, as
follows:
We have examined 90 cases. returned
54 true bills, ignored 80 cases, and have
passed six coses on account of not being
able to find witnesses.
We had before us three cases of hom
icide, in each of which an arrest has
been made.
The investigation of the social clubs
of Oil City and of Shreveport, where
whiskey and beer are sold and served
has determined the fact that they are
possessed of three things, mystery,
power and danger.
To arrive at conclusions and find out
some facts about the management and
conduct of these social clubs where
whiskey and beer are sold and served,
required a large part of our time. The
mysterious knowledge of pending in
vestigation and the power of controlling
testimony which is against the interest
of the club are some of the dangers of
the social whiskey and beer clubs.
Appeals have been made to this Grand
jury for help to suppress lawlessness at
Oil City, and TO protect property from
juvenile violators of the law in Shreve-
port We feel that the officers of the
law should enforce the law notwith-
standing the fact that the officer may
not be in sympathy with the existing
law. This applies to some branches Of
the parochial as well as the city officials
It is our opinion that by the co-opera-
ton and working together of all the of
hcials that the prohibition law can be
enforced as fully and as satisfactorily
as any other law.
Some provision should be made to
handle the juvenile violators of the law
and we appeal to our legislators to ar
range some plan to handle correctly the
juvenile law violators.
We have examined the parish jail and
find it to be in good condition In this
matter we would recommend that sep
arate quarters be provided for prison
ers who are infected with tuberculosis.
We wish to express our thinks to the
court and the officials for courtesies and
Having completed our duties, we re-
spectfully request that we be discharged.

BASE BALL

Centenary College played the Louis

made off Mercer, while the Centenary

The Centenary team is playing good ball

Sprint running should be practiced

with distance running. Speed is ac-
quired by running distances varying
from so to 400 yards, endurance by run
ming from 3 to S miles. Sprint running
rules apply to the 100, 22o and 44o yard
dashes.
These distances should be run upon
the toes. Put your feet we'll out in
front in perfectly straight line, making
the advancing step when the other foot
sdirectly underneath the body.
A sprinter should watch his stride
closely. By stride is meant the distance
covered in each step. A good stride will
cover from seyeen feet to seven feet six
inches 1t is a great mistake to over
stride.
In sprint races be the last man to toe
the mark. By so doing you will not be
compelled to remain on the mark so
long. If others are up to this walk to
the mark with them, but a little more
slowly. When on the mark remain still
until the pistol is fired; then start as
quickly as possible. Do not try to "steal
on the pistol" While you may be sue
cessful once in a while, it will handicap
you later
In all sprint races practice starting to
become accustomed to the pistol and get
under way quickly A crouch position is
frequently used If you are righthanded
put your left foot on the mark so your
toes just come to it, then put both hands
on the mark by kneeling, your right foot
being in a small hole directly underneath
your right rip.
In the 100 yard dash much depends
upon your start. In training daily work
should be done as follows: Spend your
first three weeks running 200 to 600
wards three times day at about FIVE
eighthS speed. Also practice starting
half dozen times day, by the report
of a pistol.
The second three weeks increase your
speed to three-fourths your total energy
and continue the starting, running dis
tanves from each start varying from
20 to 70 yards. The third three weeks
seven-eighths of your total speed, run
about rs yards and repeat, after this run
90 yards from three to six times.
The last three weeks run from so to
l.. u -
you wish to run ''triap' do so three
days before you race. Remember to rest
the day before your contest
The 22o yards requires more speed
than endurance. Some sprinters are able
OF run 100 yards in fast time and "fall
down" on the 22o. This is because they
do not run with judgment. When you
have enough speed and lack staying
