DO Not Bet on Your Ability 20 Per
form Thsss Fsats.
Bets to be avoided by those who are
cocksure they can do all things are
those relating to athletic fests. II
would seem that a good runner could
easily give a start OF fifty yards in a
hundred to d man who was doing the
fifty yards by hopping on one leg. But
few runners. II any. can afford to give
that amount of start to any man who
is at all strong on his legs. For the
first FIVE yards or so they go at prac-
ticaily the same pace, 50 that 20 run
ninety-fve yards while his opponent
is hopping forty-fve he has to 90 more
than twice as fast. and 1t Is weak
man indeed who cannot hop hfty
yards In ten seconds.
An ordinary wooden match is easily
broken in the fingers. but. although
there are many who viii bet they can
do it, none succeed IN accomplishing
the task If the match is laid across the
nail OF the middle finger of either hand
and pressed upon by the first and third
fingers of that hand. despite its seem
ing so easy at first sight.
No one can crush an egg placed
lengthwise between his clasped hands
that is. If the egg be sound and has
the ordinary shell OF hens egg.
It is safe to bet a man that he can
not get out OF a chair without bending
his body forward or putting his feet
under it II he Is sitting on 1t, not ct
the edge Of II.
Another equally certain wager is
that a man cannot stand at the side
OF a room with both Of his feet touch
ing the wainscoting lengthwise-
1t is safe to bet any man. save one
who is blind. that he cannot stand
for five minutes without moving IL he
