sential to Success,
Says Expert.

After one day Of rest, following the
run of the Washington ss-Country
Club. the long-distance runners OF
Washington will settle down late this
afternoon for regular training for the
Intercitv Marathon race. from Laurel
TO the Munsey building. in this city, on
May 13.
In order that Washington athletes
may have the best possible advice for
thelr preparation, The Times here pre-
sents the expert system of Mike Muir
phy, OF the University Of Pennsylvania,
conceded to be the greatest athletic
trainer in the world:
Good Health.
In training for a good Marathon
race" says Mr.. Murphy. two things
must he taken into consideration.
First, you must get yourself in the
best health.
Secondly. find out If you are adapted
to this kind Of a race.
The first is the most important. No
one can ever do well in any kind Of an
athletic event unless his health and gem
eral condition is good. Ny advice is 10

Keep regular hours eat good and nour-
lshing food and take great care Of your
Never Run Alone.
"As to the actual preparation for the
race try and find some good road to
work on and always try to run with a
bunch Of other boys. Phis is much
easier than working out alone.
The amount of work varies in diff
ferent men and a whole lot depends on
a young mans daily occupation. john

Running a Hobby.
Il want to warn you all again against
training too hard. Work along moder-
ately and running becomes a hobby, and
you grow to love it because you feel
that 1t is helping you to grow strong
and vigorous. and leading you into good
and clean habits.
Remember. it Is always better to do
too little than too much while in prepa-
ration for race of this kind Don't
run too close to meal times. Do not run

Don't drink too much cold water direct

Baseball and women.

1t is to be expected that many women
here and in other cities will not concur
with Walter johnson in his statement,
published on the editorial page today,
that women do not know baseball.
While, of course. the average woman
has a most limited knowledge of the
the spirit which keeps husband and
brother away from warm dinners. there
is many sister and wife who are daily
attendants at National park and follow
every detail OF play, evidently enjoying

Baltimore interested.

Henry c. Elphinstone, captain Of the
Baltimore Cross Country Club. and
long distance champion of the South At.
lantic Association Of the A. A. u, was
in to say that he believes Baltimore
will set a new mark for entries In The
Times-News intercity Marathon race on
May Is.
The two defeats Baltimore has suf-
fered in the past has aroused the Mary
landers to such an extent that the
athletic promoters have got practically
all of the hill and dale men in that city
to enter the coming event.
Eliphinstone will probably be Balti-
more's favorite in the big affair, and he
is confident the majority Of the first
dozen to finish will be wearing the COL
ors of some of the clubs Of the Monu-
mental City.

From the showing the teams made at
Georgetown Field it appears as though
Princeton Is much farther advanced in
baseball this spring than is Yale.
1t took all the baseball Georgetown
knew to. hold the Tigers even on Mon
day. but yesterday Captain Sitterding
and his men won easily.
Considering that Georgetown los> more
than half of last years team and the
fact that this season 1t has been neces-
sary to depend almost entirely on new
men. the record made thus far is GER
tainly most creditable That Fordham
affair was a bitter dose, but aside from
that the Blue and Gray has been going
along at fast clip.
