The most prominent authority on
athletics in the United States de-
clares over his own signature that
Ralph Craig, the Detroit boy who was
last year member of the University
OF Michigan's track team, is the best
220-yard runner In the country.
The selection will undoubtedly
please Craig's many friends who have
watched his work, first as member
OF the athletic teams OF Central high
school, and since then under Trainer
Kraentzlein at Ann Arbor.
Craig's distinction is particularly
notable in the fact that he is ranked
not only as the best Ncollegian at his
specially but also as Nhe best anna
teur, regardless of afiilistion.

The illustrations I'm the book are the
finest which have yet appeared in an
athletic almanac OF any description.
The most noted athletes OF the day
are shown, as well as athletic scenes
of notable incidents OF the year. For
these alone the book should be kept
yearly. az they include the pictures
OF over one thousand athletes.
Another illustration which will be
of interest Is that OF the Stadium In
stockholm, Sweden. In which the
Olympic games OF 1912, Will take
place.
